If you have been in business for longer than 3 months, you’ve faced at least two, if not all, of the problems listed. The good news is – you’re not alone and every business owner has trodden that same path. Some have surfaced on the other side celebrating their successes. Others have lost a lot of money, lost a belief in themselves and just given up.

Which one do you want to be?

Can you remember the nights when you’ve wondered where you’re going to find the money needed to pay the rent bill? Can you remember the crazy staff (and some customers) driving you up the wall as you tried your best to deal with their idiosyncrasies? Do you have memories of doing everything you could to grow your business … and nothing worked? Do you HATE selling? Have you ever complained about the amount of paperwork you had to do? And last but not least – have you had that feeling that there is just not enough hours in the day to do everything you NEED to do!

You just have to understand ONE thing –  the problems are not insurmountable, although they seem to be at that time. It never has been. Business is simple … but it’s hard work and it takes persistence. The 4 hour day does not happen overnight. I can relate to every single one of the problems listed above. I’ve faced them all at some point in my long business life … sometimes more than one at the same time.

The Solution

Different Solutions For Different Needs

What works for one person will not work for another. It depends to a large extent on your learning style AND it always boils down to TIME v $$$. Sometimes circumstances dictate that you have no choice – burn out and do it yourself or not at all. You have just 3 options – Decide what will work for you and then go for it! Remember, persistence will pay off if you don’t give up.
