He shared three tips on how to manage your time effectively.
A backup plan is essential
Most businesses do not easily succeed, especially those that do not have backgrounds in sales, business management, marketing, or many other aspects. And by having a backup plan before even failing, time will not be wasted on thinking of ways to recover from failure and succeed.
Workforce works
The workforce is very important for every business since the work will be divided and a lot will contribute to the improvement of the business. And for them to effectively function, the workforce should be equipped with sufficient knowledge and skills about the business through training and actual application.
Technology is the key
Since there are technological advancements in the field of agriculture, they must be maximized, as they help lessen the work for people and allow tasks to be accomplished in a shorter span of time. Also, through smart gadgets, situations can be monitored even when you are far away from the farm, and you can easily connect to people.
Manansala looks forward to every challenge he may encounter in his businesses, which is why he created an approach where he can recover from a failure even before encountering one. By being prepared, he saves a lot of time and money.
