Not Sure if you're Cut out for Life as a Business Owner?
You'd heard that self-employment and business building is hard work. Now you know it's true.
The pressure of demands and the need to be resilient is high.
And more even than skill, you need a never-ending supply of courage.
We talk about being in charge of our own hours, but more often than not, we're trying to play all the instruments in the orchestra ourselves.
Business leaders need to know how to manage their anxiety, how to develop a plan and commit to it.
Running your own business is not for everyone, but missing your chance to take one of the most exciting journeys of your life is a tragedy!
Don't know What to Prioritise?
There are so many aspects to running a business, it's hard to work out what to do when.
Unfortunately, time spent on the wrong things can mean time wasted, which sadly means you could run out of money before you get your business established.
The decisions you make on how you spend your time can make or break your dream.
Your product/service? Your website? Your branding? Your marketing? Your market? Which will deliver sales fastest?
Businesses don't tend to fail because of poor products, but business owners feel safer tinkering with them than going to market where they fear they may face rejection!
Sales Disappointing?
Do you have a vision but no plan to get there?
Are you getting meetings but no sales?
Are you running out of confidence and courage?
Sales come after marketing. And marketing comes after you've articulated your message, which comes after a serious analysis of your potential client, who they are, their problems and how they experience them.
Going straight to sales is like proposing on the first date. It's weird.
The right marketing with the right message is helpful to your market. Giving, not taking.
Sales will follow.
There's work to do on your market - and you need to do it quickly.
This Economic Climate is Especially Difficult for Small Businesses
But the pressure will create tough diamonds that will continue to thrive into the future.
Focusing on your Systems is More Effective than Focusing on Your Goals
But which systems? How and in what order?
