How Organized Is Your Business? Part 1
According to the Small Business Administration small businesses make up more than 99.7 percent of all employees. Add to that the latest figures that show small businesses create 75% of the net new jobs in our economy and you can see how important small businesses are.
Small Business Owners have a very challenging job. Many small business owners go into an industry because it matches their passion or is something that they are really good at. What many start up business owners do not realize is that it takes a LOT more than being good in a particular industry to successfully run a business.
Most of the time, small business owners need to wear many hats - visionary, product developer, marketer, bookkeeper, secretary, janitor and more! Overwhelm is easily around most corners!
Develop a Team!
Even the most organized business owner needs help. That help can come in the form of employees or other outsourced help. You cannot be an expert in everything, and if you try; you will loose focus on why you started your business in the first place! Make sure that you have a team of knowledgeable people to help you run your business. It is worth the expense to have it done right the first time.
If you are not sure how to figure out what you need, start by listing the activities in your business that you
* don't want to do
* don't know how to do
* know how to do but don't have time to do
There are fabulous options available today that you can put in place to help you grow your business. In the future, I'll write more about how you can develop a team. Get ready for those resources by knowing where you need the help!
