Start Up Showcase’s Post

💜 Do you feel happy in your business? You set up to be the one in control, but it feels like your business is controlling you? Many of us setup our small businesses thinking of all the perks, the freedom, the flexibility that comes with entrepreneurship. What we don't think about - usually because we don't experience them until we're in it, are all the difficulties that entrepreneurship brings with it. 🤯 Having ditched the 9 - 5, you now find yourself on the 24/7 and the clients seem to be calling all the shots. You can relax, I've got you. I promise this isn't exclusive to you. So many small business owners start to fall out of love with their businesses in the early days. 🎙️ In this episode I guide you through the common pitfalls of the small business owner, how to overcome them (as well as make sure they don't happen again) and how to structure your business so you fall back in love, and stay in love with it. 😍 Are you ready to be happy in your business?

The Entrepreneurs’ Guild and FlawlessLaunch.com present another new series and this one is coming in from the back door! We call it “Business Burps, Belches and Blunders”. Sometimes kids have to learn the hard way (think: electrical outlets and stovetops). Why not businesspeople? In our decades of experience, we have seen everything. Too often, simple actions take a business up to, then off the cliff. We have scores of them to share. Here is number fifty-four: “Rearranging Your Sock Drawer”. Many years ago, I used to mentor entrepreneurs starting out for the first time. Their most pressing problem was, most often, marketing and networking to get the word out that they were starting a new venture. One of the hardest things was trying to get these people out of their house and talk to someone. I heard all the excuses too. Think of Junior wanting to ride a bike but hesitating to get on the damn thing for the first time. It is frustrating. More importantly, the longer one waited, the harder it was to actually get started. Many entrepreneurs who are shy, not good at social communications and not so lucky to have a product or service that readily can get to market have this problem. Rearranging your sock drawer endlessly to prepare for that perfect opening will, well, just delay a bad opening. Waiting for perfection in the name of  just good will not cut it today in the fast-paced world we live in. Plus, the longer you wait, the more you will have to change your approach as the environment will have changed. We do not advocate “going to court without a briefcase” so to speak, but we do want you to plan then get out to network, market and talk to your potential customers. Waiting for perfect will not make you better and it may cause you to focus on your presentation and not the person to whom you want to connect. Our advice? Wear sandals.
