businesses are able to grow in markets with which they are not
completely knowledgeable.
As an alternative, business owners need to work even harder at the things
they know best. You will find that your customers seem to be becoming
more and more intelligent; your challenge is to stay two steps ahead of
them by developing new products and services that will excite you as a
business owner and at the same time, add to the vitality of the customer.
NEVER BE A SELLOUT
Unless you start your business with the plan to sell, do not sellout until
your career has run its course and it is time for you to get out.
When you build a successful Home business, other business professionals
are going to approach you with the option for you to sellout your
company. Many business owners will find these offers hard to refuse, but
refuse them you should. It is not fun to run your business for someone
else. In addition, there are not many other ways to make better money
than owning your own business, so money should not motivate you at all.
HIRE STRONG WHEN YOU ARE WEAK
As business owners we are obviously a strong people. However, not one
person is strong in all aspects of the business world. In such cases, it may
be necessary to hire people who are strongest in the areas of your
business where you are most weak.
In order to hold on to the interest that motivates you, it is important not
to get stuck wasting your valuable time struggling with tasks that you do
not do well or that you simply hate doing. When you admit your
shortcomings and hire people who can do such jobs more productively,
you will free yourself to focus on the areas of your business that give you
the most pleasure.
