When you are in business you can start to worry about everything and anything. Where should I advertise? Should I concentrate my marketing efforts on-line or off-line? How do I get new distributors and how do I keep my current distributors in the game? By worrying about every little detail you may be unconsciously sabotaging your business. Here are a few things that you may want to change.
First don't focus on long-term goals at the expense of short-term movement. Procrastination often masquerades as planning. Don't let planning take the place of what is happening in the present. When you neglect the present you can't build a future. Successful business owners must not only have long-term goals but must also advance steadily toward short-term goals with daily action. It is better to focus on short-term goals over long-term goals, because if you have a decent business plan the short-term goals will line up with a long-term plan and you will be moving in the right direction.
Next put some systems in place. Systems help you get more done faster. Putting in place an organized system can help you drop what is no longer optimal and determine what is successful. If you establish your procedures and processes into a system you can then train others in you organization to do the same thing. Setting up a system that others can duplicate is a responsibility of any business leader.
Search for ways to innovate. If you are not always looking for ways to improve your business, you won't be aware of how much your business could improve. Don't be afraid of new things instead embrace the new so that you can see the possibilities for profitability, growth and sustainable practices. Just as you need to systematize your day-to-day work, you need to build innovation systematically into your business.
Remember self-sabotage is never deliberate. It is most often a matter of doing the same things you've done, following those old habits, without considering how your habits could injury your business. The simple solution is to identify and destroy those habits, and then focus on building new habits that help build your business.
