Keep Tabs On Your Business (But Don't Let It Run You)

Do you ever feel like the success of your business rides on your ability to manage every aspect?

Are you ever overwhelmed with the enormity of the task and all the areas that you find dull and challenging?

As an entrepreneur, you need to be familiar with every detail that makes your business run, but that doesn't mean you have to run it. 

What Do You Love About Your Business?

As entrepreneurs, we have certain areas of operation that we love...that we are good at...and then certain areas that drain us.

It's easy to throw a majority of your time and energy into the areas that you enjoy. But here’s the truth-there are other areas of your business that still need to be dealt with...even if you don't like them.

What Do You NOT Enjoy In Your Business

What tasks give you the heebee geebees? 

Maybe you do your best to steer clear of your numbers. The idea of getting granular with the ins and outs of your finances terrifies you. Guess what? Ignoring them won’t make it better and won't balance your books! 

Managing social media can be time-consuming and monotonous. But if you don’t discipline yourself and stay active in front of your audience, they may forget you exist and you aren't planting seeds that will grow in the future.

Maybe you're great at the behind-the-scenes work, but making connections and building relationships feels intimidating! But you know sales is essential for a thriving business. 

All this to say, don't forget to stay in touch with the parts of your business that bore or scare you. If you don’t, these parts will grow to become mountainous obstacles that can keep you from moving forward.

Reminder: You Are In Control Of Your Business

Don’t worry! There is light at the end of the tunnel! As you discipline yourself to manage every aspect of your business and you grow, you will have the opportunity to outsource some of your pain points. You can hire a numbers guru, or a social media coordinator. They will manage the weight of your unwanted tasks.

You will still need to keep tabs on what’s happening in every area, but you won’t need to monitor it day in and day out. All that time and energy you were saving to tackle the unwanted tasks will become available for the fun parts you enjoy!

What tasks do you need to commit to engaging with that you have previously been neglecting? What parts do you need to take the right steps towards delegating?

Take a minute to consider exactly which scary tasks you have hiding in the closets and around the corners of your biz. Can you commit to tackling these areas of your business until it becomes time to delegate them elsewhere?

I know you can do it!

And remember...you don’t have to do it alone!
