Running your own business is really fantastic, good on your for being the ruler of your own destiny. Once you have a few years under your belt and you are ready to grow your business or have more income to invest in the business, please think about these 5 things to avoid:
Here’s where to start:
Don’t think you know it all.
Like I said, if you have been running your business for a few years there are things that you do that will come naturally to you and you will be very efficient in sorting out. But never stop learning…..
Stop implanting new ideas even if you know they sounds good
As a business owner, you are likely to be managing a wide range of tasks and responsibilities. Does this help you? Not at all. The secret to success in any walk of life is focus. Concentrate on one thing at a time. You MUST decide your priorities every day, week, month. Build your work around one or two priorities, no more. If you do that, you will see improvements in the areas you are focusing on.
Meet regularly with your employees or those to whom you outsource to.
Use SOP’s for all your business operations, so you can confidently outsource when the time is right.
Ask for help you really don’t have to do it all
