Entrepreneurs are creative thinkers. Their minds are constantly busy solving problems for their customers and team.
Admin tasks however, can way down heavy on them decreasing their time to think creatively. Tasks like, implementing systems, submitting returns, generating spreadsheets, complying to regulations, collating and extracting info form their accounting system, reporting, creating templates, quoting, etc..
Streamlining these type of administrative processes is essential as the business needs that creative mind to push forward. But, if the admin is not in order the business cannot operate from day to day. So how to find that sweet spot.
I recommend you go with the age-old advice, "Get your house in order first". Admin tasks almost always can be optimised. Put in other words, admin tasks can be done quicker without losing quality by tweaking processes and systems. Spend time to analyse each of your admin procedures with your team and put systems in place to reduce the time it takes.
Once this is done you have more time for creative and strategic thinking. Now you only need to monitor that admin is done as per your implemented system.
