3 Steps to Starting a Small Business
Mission, what is the goal of the business. Is the goal of the business aligned with your personal mission. Example, If your personal mission in life is to help people with their health and to live disease free. Your business mission could be something like, open a franchise company that sells quality organic food at a fair price within the next year that will produce $80,000 positive cash flow per year and give back to the community. That would be your goal when you are looking for the right business. Then once you own it your business mission could be, offer quality organic food at a fair price while educating and giving back to the community.
Team, the one with the best team comes to victory. It is impractical to do anything of significance by yourself. Especially when starting a business, there are too many things to do and not enough time. If you are not computer savvy does it make since to spend all your time building a website. Outsource the parts of your business you are not an expert on and focus your time on that which you are good at. Some team members you may need are mentors, mastermind groups, CPA, business brokers, attorney, insurance agents, web designers, merchant account managers, property managers, title agent, realtors to name a few.
Leadership, “Life’s battles do not always go to the strongest or fastest man but soon or late the man who wins is the man who thinks he can” Napoleon Hill. I started with this quote because the most important trait of a leader is his belief in never giving up when his mission is true. A leader must display integrity, responsibility, courage and compassion. The one trait a business owner needs is the ability to lead. If you are not a leader, good because leaders are not born they come out of the person that has failed and does not give up, relentless. They come from that person who says, it is my fault and I accept responsibility. No person with a victim hood mentality can be a leader. They come from the person who takes action despite fear. What is there so bad to fear anyway, you should fear, Regret, at the end of a long life when you say I should of.
