Here are some traps/mistakes that are common to many entrepreneurs and small business owners:
1. Ignoring Cash Flow Problems
The customers/client doesn’t respond to even the best products or service in the timeframe that you think they should. So you’ll need plenty of cash to sustain yourself in the meantime.
2. Ignoring Employees
You need to motivate, coach and managing your staff. This is probably one of your hardest challenges as an entrepreneur/business owner today! You see you need to have patience, persistence and “people skills,” because if you don’t your problems can multiply quickly. Keep the morale, productivity AND PROFITS high or it can easily be destroyed!
3. Giving Up
Some of the most successful business owners failed several times before doing extremely well. So, if you’re failing, fail. And fail fast. And learn. And try again, because you learn from your mistakes. Do NOT give up. Yet, do not suffer, either.
4. Doing it yourself
No matter how much they hate it, many small business owners insist upon handling the books themselves. Having a competent bookkeeper coming in to handle the books can be extremely beneficial in that they have the skills to do the job quickly and efficiently and will provide a second pair of eyes to find errors and make suggestions.
5. No Mastermind.
Get an advisor, coach or a mentor! Does it sounds crazy for a small operation? Not really in these days and times! Having someone to bounce ideas off and get an objective opinion is critical for your survival
I have a story to tell you about a young woman who decided to attend a Power Networking Conference and received some powerful “therapy”. Here’s the story…
Imagine being in a place where there are so many “therapists” to give you guidance, opportunities, have you make countless business and personal connections and learn so much that you will have a renewed sense of power…Imagine, someone telling you that you must experience the best Power Networking Conference on the East coast and it features the best and brightest in the industry around…Imagine someone telling you that when you leave you will have the experience of a lifetime… All you have to do is to show up and participate.
This woman attended a power networking conference and had no idea she needed so much therapy. She said to her friends, “Have you ever had Power Networking Therapy? Have you? Do you even know what Power Networking Therapy is?” Because she had never had Power Networking Therapy until she went to the conference she really didn’t know what to expect and what was to come. As a matter of fact she didn’t even know what that meant. It was her first time and she really didn’t know that she would need it so badly.
Now this wasn’t your typical psychotherapy consultation, this was a different type of therapy. No, you didn’t lie on a couch and pour your heart out to a doctor; No, the “therapists” didn’t take notes and tell you to take a pill and you would be all right in the morning and no, you didn’t have to schedule another appointment. This type of therapy gave you the power, spirit and mind changing activities to help you further your business and help you grow professionally. It had world-renowned coaches, speakers and trainers, uplifting voices, speeches and workshops and the opportunity to connect with thousands of other people who also needed the same therapy.
The “therapy” session was called Frasernet 2010 Power Networking Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. It was truly an AMAZING experience for her. It was powered packed with speakers, trainers, coaches and celebrities. These people weren’t just for show; they came to put their money where their mouth is. They held nothing back and you had to listen, take notes and be inspired. This conference gave you access: to key contacts; insights on building wealth; business and career resources; free coaching (that would literally cost you thousands); choices of 30 workshops/panels to participate in; two Power-Luncheons (so you can Meet-and-Eat while still getting powerful insider information); national town hall meetings; elevator pitch and job interview techniques; exhibits, prizes and finally the most important part of this conference is the power networking reception. Ooo child what an ending; she said it was truly amazing!
Well, the woman in the story I was just telling you about was me, that’s right me. I had never been to a Power Networking Conference that gave me “therapy” that was long overdue and that I didn’t know I needed. A gentleman by the name of Chike Akua stated that “we had much needed therapy” and he was right. I am so glad I decided to go to this conference and get this much-needed experience/therapy. Next year when I go for my annual therapy session, I will be ready for the next level of the Power Networking Conference experience.
One of the best marketing tools and simplest to do is the the newsletter. If you are looking for time-tested, proven way to attract new customers and promote new products to your existing customer base, is look no further than the tried and true newsletter.
I have found that publishing a newsletter is a great way to promote ongoing marketing of you and what you do in an educational, how-to-informational format to your clients. You see your customers view the newsletter as a benefit, or a seminar in print. It is delivered to their email address, either weekly, monthly or whatever way you want to set it up. But here is the biggest bonus for you-you are staying in front of your customers and prospects reminding then tht you are the go to expert.
