If you don’t have an
easy, effective system for organizing your papers, you’re probably spending a lot of time looking for that lost invoice or contract ─ time that you could be doing the work you love and
creating more income. In fact, according to a recent Esselte study, the average U.S. executive wastes six weeks each year looking for important documents lost in the clutter.
For an employee who earns an annual salary of $60,000, that time costs the company a staggering $6,290. If you are an entrepreneur,
imagine all of the things you could do with that money!
Paperwork and files are not only the largest burden for small businesses ─ they are very often the glue that holds the entire business together.
According to a study by World-Scan,
more than 70% of today's businesses would fail within three weeks if they suffered a catastrophic loss of paper-based records due to fire or flood. In many ways, paperwork is a vital business asset.
