Having gone to a number of business meetings and kept a number of business cards from individuals from each meeting I’ve attended I recently found that business cards have now become old news with the advent of social media, specifically LinkedIn.

Days gone past. In the olden days you handed out business cards to those you met and kept theirs in a Rolodex file so you could look them up later and call or send them a letter. Then, as the computer age came upon us we transitioned from the Rolodex to contact databases, or even the more advanced CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software. It took you time to enter in each contact’s information, but once it was entered you could use it in a number of ways.

As an entrepreneur you either have time or have money, but usually not both. Later on as your business grows you’ll trade time for money by allowing others to do things they are better at than you are to free you up to do what you do best. But in the beginning if you don’t have the money then you have to do things yourself. But how can you save yourself time and money? Let’s take a look.
