TWO<br />

Decide to face your FEAR.<br />

We are all fearful of something. Recognize what is keeping<br />

you from taking action and face it. Once you learn to do this with<br />

regularity there are two things on the other side of this obstacle that<br />

await you. One of these is confidence and the other is experience.<br />

In either case you will be better prepared to handle situations in the<br />

future because you faced your challenge and in most situations<br />

grew yourself and your business as a result. Quit relying strictly on<br />

your gut. When you first started you were involved in every aspect<br />

of the business. You knew your business because you were the<br />

business. You could make decisions easily because you were always<br />

in the middle of everything. As your business grows you must<br />

learn to create measurements or Key Performance Indicators for<br />

you to evaluate and more importantly for you to make decisions<br />

from. If you bought a new car you certainly would not request one<br />

that did not have any gauges. It is important to know your speed<br />

and how much gas you have in your tank! I often meet business<br />

owners who take pride in operating their business based on their<br />

opinions. Coincidentally, most of these owners check their bank account<br />

balances each morning and that is the only number they look<br />

at. Running a business without knowing your numbers is another<br />

way to go insane. Create a system for collecting data, analyze that<br />

date and then let your gut tell you what the next move is.<br />

THREE<br />

Get help. Read books, watch videos, go<br />

to seminars and workshops or even get<br />

a coach.<br />

You eventually can learn what you need to know but time is<br />

not your friend. Gaining education will allow you to learn at a faster<br />

pace than using the school of hard knocks as a teacher. If you<br />

increase your revenues by 20, 30 or 40 percent in months instead<br />

of years, the bottom line cash into your business is significant and<br />

worthy of the investment of your time and dollars! Waiting to learn<br />

after each bad experience is even more costly.<br />

Is your business<br />

THRIVING<br />

or just Surviving?<br />

Have you created a<br />

BUSINESS<br />

or have you just<br />

created a<br />

JOB?<br />

Creating a<br />

successful business is<br />

about understanding basic<br />

business fundamentals and proven<br />

business strategies. Every business<br />

owner gets the choice to either endure the<br />

time and cost of learning this on their own or<br />

taking the step to gain unlimited access to proven,<br />

successful business coaching. If you are looking to:<br />
