Growing Your Business

I saw the following come through on my LinkedIn newsfeed. It was posted by Sheronde Glover, M.ED. It is so applicable to our business that I wanted to share.

Entrepreneur Growing Pains Hurt

If you think starting a business is hard or challenging, then try growing one. Ouch! I want to share a few “musts” for moving past your pain points when it comes to growing your business.

You must be willing to make TOUGH decisions.

You must be willing to PIVOT when required.

You must take ACTION consistently. Momentum breeds results.

You must be willing to ASK for help.

You must be willing to LET go. You won’t be able to control everything.

You must be willing to take ownership. Yep, if things go wrong, it’s on you.

You must be willing to take some RISKS – you can’t stay in your comfort zone and expect to grow.

You must be up for the CHALLENGE. You’ve failed a few times and you’re ready to give up? Entrepreneurship may not be for you.

You must be willing to take that EXTRA STEP and GO the EXTRA MILE (because if you don’t someone else will).

Orville Thompson has the same philosophy about going the extra mile. He often talks about “givers get” and how if you don’t take care of your customers, someone else will.

Which one of these nine “musts” do you need to work on today?
