As a small business owner, you’re always busy, wearing many hats at once in the hope of seeing even the slightest
signs of success. Some days are rewarding while others can’t end soon enough, and every morning, no matter what,
you wake up with renewed energy to get in, get dirty, and get the job done.
Just going through the motions isn’t always enough. It’s maybe a cliché, but it can never be said too many times – to be truly effective as a small business owner, you must start working on your business rather than simply in your business. That said, the events of the global pandemic over the past two years haven’t always made it possible, and many business owners are struggling to see the wood for the trees.
Distractions, lockdowns, financial burdens all play their part.
To help businesses ride the Covid rollercoaster, Bartercard’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Business Owners provides opportunities, bite-sized hints and tips to help small business owners manage their business more efficiently. It reveals how to grow a solid customer base and keep staff happy while streamlining processes.
The eBook recommends business owners put their energy in the right place to do what it takes to build a great company while balancing
the day-to-day expectations of their role at the helm.
However, as the authors point out, “business acumen isn’t the same as knowing how to approach a new enterprise from the right viewpoint.
All the practical experience in the world can’t give you the skills needed to lead the troops if you’re used to spending time in the trenches”.
The eBook’s seven habits are based around:
• Planning ahead
• Setting boundaries
• Being open to change
• Embracing technology
• Monitoring cashflow and spending
• Retaining good staff, and
• Marketing
All of which are pertinent to the current business environment. It’s a resource designed to help SME owners separate knowledge and experience from an entrepreneurial perspective, allowing them to identify points of weakness to clarify end goals.
