So, the other day I was speaking with a business / life coach. He was telling me about how many business owners begin taking on their business as if it were a child. Becoming emotionally attached to the people, the business, it's outcome as if it were their own flesh and blood (not saying it's not!) but almost too much, emotionally rather than looking at it as if it were a business.
One of the main things that my family always told me was fire quick and hire slow. There are too many businesses that get dragged down by their employees (or held up by them) but more because the owner wouldn't make a fast decision when there was no money to let go or cut hours on the employees.
Now, in these times of economic hurt, i urge all business owners to at least LOOK at what and where they are. Look for thins that you could do better, if possible, involve outside opinions and thoughts, someone who has a tremendously successful business, and ask their opinion, use other peoples knowledge.
As small business owners people often believe themselves to be an island - NOT TRUE! There are hundreds if not thousands of other business owners out there who are in the same place you are, just ASK!
Anyway - if anyone needs some help and feedback, I would always be happy to oblige -
Best of luck to all the owners out there - remember this is business, not personal!
