The UnNoticed Entrepreneur
Fellow entrepreneurs share their stories so that us so that we can build a better business.
Hi - mine name is Jim James and I'm your host. In 2019 I started this podcast to help entrepreneurs learn from one another. When I started the Entrepreneurs Organization chapter in Beijing, I realized that the best insights came from people who had already done the work.
If you're running a business; this show is my gift to you. It's hard enough as it is, and I hope that this podcast solves just one problem to help you on your way.

Why does being on time, and managing our time matter so much to our reputation? Capterra has 68 time scheduling softwares listed which offer free trials; so what are you waiting for?
German paper de Bild ran an article in 2018 and wrote "Once the pride of the German state that owns it and the envy of much of the rest of the world, to the [neighbouring] Swiss, who are annoyed by German unpunctuality because it messes up their own train timetable, we are becoming a joke,”
Here are just 3 reasons why being on time matters:
If you can't be on time, how can you give the customer confidence you will deliver on time?
If you're late, it impacts all those around you who then can't get on with their work..thinks the Swiss trains.
We never get time back...it's lost.
[and the Swiss will laugh at you]
On this episode I talk about the use of time scheduling software and some key considerations:
- Flexibility
- Calendar syncing
- Payment processing
- Multiple points of access
