Help!

Many small businesses see the Donald Trump, Oprah and more powerful business owners and think they can do it all on their own. They say "It isn't that difficult to get that done on my own." If everything was so simple everyone would be in business alone and not need assistance, consultants or a team in place to help with projects.

It is important to note that all successful entities have a team, support or some outside source to assist with the business. It would be nice if everything could be done by one but it just isn't logical or healthy.

If you need help in any area for your business make the time to draft the need and then look for the qualified help needed to take things to another level.

It is your business but you cannot build Rome alone.

You are so right: Many people do believe they can do it on their own. They unfortunately think it's cheaper that way, but they're often wrong. Especially when you are the principle of your own business, your time is valuable! Do you know the difference between the tasks that you can't delegate (i.e. where you personally add true value!) versus those tasks that you can? Almost anyone, once they've been adequately briefed, can stuff envelopes/update a blog/do the filing or admin/etc. But there are some things that ONLY YOU CAN DO. Where your face and your voice matter!

That's why it's essential you spend as much of your time doing the things that demand and showcase your expertise as possible.

The sooner you do, the sooner you'll see a real shift in the growth of your business!
