The Assessment of Your Business is Personal
Diversification and delegation are ongoing training
platforms which the business owner must consistently
visit. Diversify responsibilities while at the same time
cross train each associate working with you. Examine
your own task list and decide what specific tasks can be
delegated to a trained associate in your office.
Spend time away from your business to do better “in
your business”. Business owners need time to “sharpen
the saw”. The best new ideas for change that can take
your business activity to the next level often happen
while away from the daily must-do on your task list.
Go to the beach, the mountains or your backyard and
spend time alone to get clarity on growth and development of your company.You didn’t decide to become an
entrepreneur by being a slave to your company.
We, as human beings, are constantly maintaining stability in our lives. We work hard to get our business to
where we feel safe and comfortable. It’s difficult to institute change. The most difficult challenge is the battle
we have within ourselves to allow change to happen. If
your business model is lacking what you need to bring
your production and services to the next level, break
the current pattern and replace it with a new pattern.
New patterns to institute change within you and
your business can be time away from the business to
work on yourself and your business model. Reading
new literature of substance relating to your business
proves fruitful. Signing up and taking a course that allows your creative juices to flow will always improve
your business.
The same routines that keep us comfortable, predictable, where our ideas are safe and where our skills
are sufficient will not produce lives and a company
that are wise and skillful. Take a company temperature
reading and make plans for change, today.
