We’re hearing all the time that people are feeling alone, uncertain, and not sure where to turn for help or even how to choose who to get help from.
So, where do you go when your small business is stuck?
Many small business owners are told they will likely fail - and it’s statistically true that 60% of small businesses don’t make it past year 3 - however, if you’re reasonably good at what you do, and are okay at sales, you stand a relatively good chance of creating a business.
Whether it delivers on your dreams, or even brings you the income you want, is a completely different matter, however.
Almost all business owners struggle and/or get stuck. If this is you right now, know that it’s completely normal. We call it ‘Entrepreneurial Conditioning’ - a journey paved with losses, humiliations, wins, doubt, fear, imposter syndrome, procrastination, questioning your own sanity and wondering if you should just pack it all in.
To run a successful business, you are going to need help. The sooner you accept that, the quicker you will be successful.
Here are my top tips for finding the right help.
1. Know the level you’re at and get the right help for that level – we spent years implementing well-meaning but utterly nonsense advice without realising until we’d wasted time, money and energy.
2. Check out credentials – you want real-world experience, not someone who’s reciting from books and anecdotes.
3. Speak to existing customers and case study clients – talk to real people who have walked the path you’re looking to walk.
4. Is the result they consistently get the one you’re looking for? Sounds obvious, but do your homework here.
5. Is the culture a good fit? A disconnect here can mean you miss out on valuable learning.
6. Is there accountability? A huge percentage of your success relies on this and it’s so often overlooked!
7. Once you’ve decided, commit fully to the advice and implement it. Give it time to yield results.
