Have you ever wondered what it takes to run a successful business and still live the life you are meant to live?
What about taking some time and study one of your favorite companies? Here are some of the key factors that I look at when I’m helping a business get started and in my own.
First and foremost enhance your craft by continuing to learn while running your business. This basically means that you are always learning something new to improve yourself and your company. You can take training class’s online, webinars, and of course just reading business and personal developmental books can enhance your learning. Taking time to expand you sounds simple right and that’s because it is.
Get the support you need to flourish. This is a given right? Having the support in your personal life and your business is important. Mentoring is my favorite way to get the support that I need. By having a mentor you get to learn from someone else mistakes and shave time off the growth of your business. Also, build your team as you grow. Don’t wait to take the things that you don’t like to do off your plate and do the things in your business that you are top notch at. For personal support, there are many ways to find time and value within your household to get support. Enjoying a cooked meal or having someone come and help you around your home so that you have more time to focus on building your brand is a stress reliever.
It is amazing to me how many people start businesses that think that they should not continue to invest in themselves and their business for continued growth. The whole point of start a business that you love is that you don’t have to sacrifice the daily joys of your life. Family, health, travel, and living your ideal lifestyle are the most important foundational pieces in starting a business. Don’t get me wrong it is hard work and everyone shouldn’t be doing it, that’s why they don’t. Health & Lifestyle can be incorporated into your business from the start to ensure you are laying the ground work correctly and make adjustments as your desires change. Take time out to get a massage or travel for play, see how this can make business easier. Give yourself permission.
