Another mistake Entrepreneurs make

 As a business owner there is often the temptation to recruit family members or friends on the basis that they are a known quantity.

This may fill short-term needs, but it is rarely a sustainable long-term position.

In a young business, you really need employees who are going to perform and add value. If they fail to do that you will have to take decisive remedial action. This is never going to be easy if you have recruited family and friends. Your sense of loyalty may let you run with situations for far too long, before the inevitable happens. This is damaging to your business and also to your personal, intimate relationships.

You need to recruit from the perspective of employees who have the character, attitude and experience your business needs to grow from here to there. This is the way you will move towards and break through to the next levels of success. You need to build your business on a solid foundation, otherwise you will be in a constant cycle of remedial action which will inhibit growth.

In my experience if you just plough straight in and delay adopting best practices until you are experiencing real growing pains, the firefighting aspects of the growing pains is much more likely to affect your decision making, resulting in a compromised solution.

The discipline of researching best practice and working out how best to implement it will enable growth, not act as a barrier to it.

Lean More About Entrepreneurship and Courage

I recently read that Walt Disney had put this high on his list of requirements to be a successful entrepreneur. Let’s face it this is a man who created an amazing empire from a cartoon mouse!

The first consideration is this – if you are currently employed, or were most recently employed and now have decided that you would like to have your own business, do you have the correct mindset?

When you are employed there is normally a regular paycheck at the end of every month. Depending on the job and your level there may be other benefits like medical insurance, company car etc.

When you become your own boss, these financial responsibilities are firmly on your shoulders. The issue is how will you react and cope with times when the cash flow into your business is not enough to cover your personal costs, and the costs of those who may work for you

This is really where courage has to come to the fore. When things are going well, life and business seems easy, but when conditions are adverse, that is when courage is needed.
