business cost savingsA wise friend once told me, “Other than sales, what will make you successful is spending prudently.

small business visionMost entrepreneurs have a “vision” for their small business. A concrete point they would like their venture to reach. Often it is a sales figure, a certain critical mass of customers, geographic coverage, a point at which they would like to be acquired. Yet these are not truly visions, but goals.

Visions for small businesses should be the focused, powerful idea that serves as the basis of the venture, telling others what it is you do.

entrepreneurial time managementDoers can’t win alone. Plain and simple. Doers fall behind. Why, because they can’t stop doing. Doers are too entrenched in the moment, caught up in what needs to be done – unable to step back. Doers are not acting as entrepreneurs. And as doers, they will struggle… Wondering why their business is not moving forward, not growing, stuck in a static state. And sad to say, from most of my research, my interaction with business owners and my experience, the majority of ‘entrepreneurs’ and small business owners are actually just doers. People who keep on doing what they did before, but have bought or invented a new place for them to do it.
