I for your Issues
1. You sabotage yourself before you have even begun
That voice in your head, many
psychologists call it the “inner bully”, starts to question, starts to poke
holes in your plans, causes you to ruminate and procrastinate. What if I miss
the deadline? What if the customer hates my product? This will never work? Sure
you are doing ok, you are a small business, not a huge corporation.. Who do you
think you are kidding?
Well surely, Apple was started by
only 2 men and has grown to be one of the biggest technology companies and one
of the most recognized brands in the world. Today’s small businesses can be the
big businesses of tomorrow. With the right attitude and support anything is
possible. 18% of people will be successful in business and there is only a 1 in
14 million chance of winning the lottery. So what are you waiting for? Dream
big because the numbers are in your favour.
2. There really are only 24 hours
in a day
Yes and no man is an island. You
have to sleep, eat and take care of your wellbeing. In my opinion you can not
sacrifice your health or relationships for the sake of money. My dad is a total
workaholic and has actually done really well for himself. But he finds himself
reaching his more senior years and questioning where he was for all the
important times. Money can not rebuild authentic relationships that are beyond
repair. I have definitely learned from my own mistakes and now understand the
importance of a work/ life balance and how that impacts on the level of success
that I achieve and that I feel as a businesswoman.
3. You do not have the money to hire permanent staff and agency staff are expensive and unreliable
The constant worry and battle
between hiring permanent staff or using agency
workers was one of my client’s biggest bugbears before they found me. As many of
you will already know, agencies are great at providing no strings attached
casual workers for long and short contracts. However, they can fall short in
delivering high quality, reliable staff. Your staff are a reflection of your
business and your brand. Customers want to feel like they are buying into your
service and that they are investing into something worthwhile, authentic and
trustworthy. Hiring casual staff can be very useful in cutting costs and
avoiding HR issues. But you may be saddled with a highly inexperienced and
unprofessional individual, who has no concern for you or your company’s image.
In addition, you can not possibly afford to hire a member of permanent staff.
You just do not know whether there will be enough money or work to warrant
hiring someone. And even if you did, then you will have to deal with the red
tape and work that comes from having employees on your company payroll.
4. You are new to the business world and think that you can do it all by yourself.
I am an Aries and I had to learn
this very simple fact the hard way. I am a perfectionist and never felt like I could
trust anybody to do a better job than me. If I could not do it, I would rather
learn than to ask someone else. No one person knows how to do it all. Even if
they do, there are not enough hours in the day to do it all by yourself. When anybody
starts out, they believe they are superman. I am the first person to tell my clients
that I do not do it all myself. Yes a huge part of my work I do myself but I work
closely with my clients to develop their business. Oh and I do not like copy writing so I normally
outsource that.
