I bet each of us knows someone who owns their own business and is working 60-80 hours a week
and stressed to the eyeballs with additional business debts and yet they are earning no more than when they were in their jobs!
Well it's all too common and is one of the contributing factors to why so many businesses fail. If only these people had encounterd The Business Builder Club with its business coaching Strategies that teach business owners to build from the ground up with the correct direction and leadership and to develop and employ systems and processes.
As a business owner you should ask yourself
"what would happen fi I stepped away from the business for 2 weeks or even 1 month"
Would the business survive?, would it thrive?, would it fall apart without you in the middle? Most would because of the way we tend to build businesses without first looking at the end goal. ( See our products section for an offer on our Direction and Leadership training module. It covers this in depth ).
Now for a new start business of course you have to be hands on for a while but your every focus should be on the big picture, your end goal and strategies to get you there. As soon as you are able take on staff to release you from day to day operational tasks. Even if its half a day a week, then build up as you grow to 2 days, 4 days and so on until full time. Keep doing this and implement systems and processes to automate or delegate as much as possible.
Try this quick exercise:
Take a moment to list all the tasks you do. Now comitt to yourself to work out a strategy to release you from one of these tasks for good. Do this each week and you will be moving in the right direction.
You need to be free to look at strategy and achieving your end goal and haev other people or systems to actually run your business day to day.
Otherwise all you have is a job
