It's normal to have flaws when you're still trying to make your business work. However, there are 3 unforgivable mistakes that businessmen might be doing. If you think you're doing the same, better change them as soon as possible and save your business from failure.
2. Entrepreneurs all know what it feels like to
start a business. You get all nervous, worried,
and excited all at the same time. With all
these mixed feelings, start-up entrepreneur
have the tendency to go overboard with their
expectations in their business and future
employees.
When you're at the momentum of
excitement, you tend to think that your
workers are superhuman. But the truth is,
not all of them can keep up with your
expectation.
3. If this is the case, it's just about 2
things:
They are not skilled enough to do your tasks
OR
Your job description required has a
terrible problem.
4. Youdelegate tasks to your employees
without concrete business plans.
Amateur businessmen have high
tendencies of committing this business
blunder. Before making any more to
materialize your business, have a concrete
business plan first. A good business plan
should follow the SMART rule: Specific,
Measureable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-
Bounded.
5. Your employee is an all-in-one package.
You'll be the luckiest entrepreneur there
is if you can hire such an employee. If you
think you can actually hire one, chances are,
you're just being delusional. Although there
are professionals who can really perform more
than 1 job descriptions, they are very rare.
For instance, you plan to hire a freelance
web developer. However, you also need to
market the website that the web developer
made. You can't expect your web developer to
plan and perform marketing strategies for your
website. In this case, you need to hire a
virtual assistant internet marketer.
6. Don't be the Stiff Uncle Sam every employee
hates because you'll end up screwing your
business. Invest in people who can truly work
effectively for you. If you think you need to hire
two professionals to perform two tasks, then do
so. After all, every great performance is equal to
more profit!
Asking Advice from "Best Friends.“
There's nothing wrong with seeking opinions
from close friends but you should never make it
your sole basis for making a business plan. Unless
they are experienced entrepreneurs and business
bloggers themselves, you should look into the
bigger picture of your market.
7. Bottom line is, research directly from
your target market. Studying their wants,
needs, and trends will eventually give your
market more success in the future.
A big challenge awaits every start-up
entrepreneur. It is necessary to be the
professional businessman everybody expects
rather than an unrealistic and unorganized
entrepreneur.
