STRATEGY
INTEGRATE ONE OR MORE NEW OR IMPROVED SYSTEMS INTO THEIR BUSINESS ON A WEEKLY BASIS
Most entrepreneurs fail because you are working IN your business rather than ON your business.
HAVE YOU BUILT YOURSELF A JOB INSTEAD OF A COMPANY?
Far too many entrepreneurs are trapped, underpaid employees working way too hard in their own companies. What was supposed to bring freedom and financial wealth ends up taking over your life and draining your resources.
How does this happen? Simply said, there is too much to do. Employees, landlords, taxes, social media,
suppliers, phone bills, contracts, change orders, angry customers, shoplifting, networking, computer updates, competition, pricing, training… the list is endless. Every day you go to work, and bit-by-bit, you get a little more behind on something that eventually will cost you money or more precious time.
If you are a business owner working as one of your company’s employees, you are doing tactical work. This is the work that makes or delivers your
product. You are also expected to be the boss and lead the team with a compelling vision, which is exactly what entrepreneurial work entails. At the same time, you are the go-to person when it comes to offering expert advice. When you don’t know something, you take it upon yourself to figure it out.
How you balance these three roles will ultimately determine the success or failure of your venture.
