The advent of micro- or personal computers has done more to revolutionize the practice of small business than any invention since the adding machine. With a personal computer, it is possible for the fledgling entrepreneur to do alone what would have previously taken a staff of at least three. The reduction in manpower means a reduction in risk and a reduction in costs. Thus the entrepreneur is more free to pursue ventures and market niches that at one time would have required more start-up capital than he was willing to risk. If the venture should prove successful, the entrepreneur already has the organizational mechanisms in place to allow for the natural growth of his business that would in turn allow for the hiring of additional people.
The personal computer is not a panacea, however, and requires careful organization and utilization. As the common computer adage goes, "Garbage in, Garbage out." The computer is a tool, not a savior, and it's important that the entrpreneur understand this from the onset, or his investment in the latest technology could end up as "an executive paper weight."
With this in mind, the thesis that follows is an exploration into personal computer techniques that are designed to organize a small business with the minimum amount of time and effort on the part of the entrepreneur or sole proprietor. Everything that the average small businessman might require, from daily to-do lists to income tax forms, is covered. It is based on the personal business experience of the author. He has used each of the presented techniques on a daily basis for approximately two years to bring them to their current level of refinement. It is his wish that the reader find these techniques valuable and utilize them in his or her own small business.
