February 10th FREE business ownership webinar discussing common mistakes of business owners and how YOU may be holding the company back. 11 am - 11:45 am EST

* Understanding the typical business owner (2 types of business owners...the dreamers and the doers). Which of these types are you? Were you the person with a dream that you felt compelled to pursue or are you the person who was really good at what you did, maybe even the best, so you decided to open a company to benefit from your expertise? Each one of these has their benefits as well as their downfalls. If you are aware of your personal strengths and weaknesses then you are better able to relate to employees, partners as well as benefit the overall company.

* Your company - is it your job? Hobby? Or a legitimate business (working "in" versus "on")? Many business owners are unaware that they are treating their company like a part time job or a hobby instead of legitimizing it as a real company. They are missing proper business planning and process creation that creates a competitive entity in their marketplace. We will provide you with essential dos and don'ts as well as make you aware of your decision processes as an owner to prevent you from making these "dire" mistakes. Your business growth depends on the way you view and treat your business!

* Short sited focus (concentrating on one area of your business at a time versus as a whole). It is common for business owners to concentrate on one area of their business at a time which creates those "fires" that we all know so well. While this can happen from time to time, it should not be the way the company is run. It is important for the company to be viewed as a whole so that one area does not dip in business concentration. Many owners, in 2009, let their companies dip in the areas of marketing and customer service affecting their customer's experience. You can see how seeing the company as a whole keeps from losing position in the marketplace. Join us and we will teach you to look holistically at your company.

* Lack of Implementation (always begins but never successfully implements). The number one area that business owners fail in is the implementation of their plans and processes. This is a failure that keeps businesses from flourishing and companies living up to their potentials. Lack of implementation destroys trust in leadership and profitability. Why is it that implementation if the most difficult and how can you ensure that you implement and not just plan?

* Waiting until the last minute (On the fly management styles). Small business owners wear many hats and therefore have limited time and resources to achieve goals. Many items on the company's "to do" list end up waiting until the very last minute and the results are not as efficient and effective as they could be. How can business owners change this from happening and are you one of these owners who manage "on the fly"? How does this affect your team and employees? Learn to plan and implement accordingly to build your company in the correct ways.
