I want advice about to achieve the vision of be "great business owner"

The number one thing I've learned as a business owner is disappointment = an unmet expectation. Before being disappointed in someone for how they didn't perform based on your standards, think about how you could have set the expectation in a clearer way.

We all know when having a business sooner or later we will end a service or some type of business relationship. When it's an one person service it makes ending the relationship an odd feeling. When we commit to doing what's best for our business that is being a smart business owner.

Do you know that the opportunity cost of you doing everything yourself is higher than when you delegate it to specialists? It's like you're paying yourself 2 to 5 times the amount that you're supposed to be paying that person that specializes in that. Think about the time you'd be saving by delegating. Think about the more important tasks you'd be taking care of if you delegate other tasks to others. So let's hear from you. As a business owner, do you do it all yourself or do you delegate?

As a business owner, do you actively listen to and process true but unpleasant information, or does your ego block this process, leading you to act according to your desires? When it comes to your business, are you able to confront the truth, or do you tend to avoid it?

Question time? The best piece of business advice I’ve been given is this… Stay in your lane. In other words, don’t think you have to do everything you see other business owners doing or what the experts tell you to do. Do what works for you. I’m curious. What’s yours?

Don't be a dickhead. Still one of the best pieces of business advice I've ever been given. Do a good job. Do what you say. Fix problems when things go wrong. Provide value. Be likeable. Your business will grow. Most importantly - Don't be a dickhead. It really can be that simple. Follow me for other insightful business content. 😉

My perspective from the front lines of advising owners of small businesses. What are your thoughts?

As a small business owner, you value connection and clarity in all of your relationships. But what happens when conflict arises, and it feels like everything is falling apart? It's easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure how to proceed - but with the right support, you can empower yourself to approach the situation with empathy. That's why I offer a Conflict with Compassion consultation that is specifically designed to help small business owners like you navigate even the toughest disputes with grace and ease. With my consultation, you'll gain the clarity and insight you need to approach these challenges with grace and understanding, empowering yourself to find win-win solutions that benefit all parties involved. Empathy is a powerful tool in any business relationship, allowing you to understand the other person's point of view and work together towards common goals. It's not always easy - especially when emotions are running high - but I can help you find the courage and confidence you need to approach these conversations with compassion and clarity. My approach is always rooted in empathy and gentle strength, even when more traditional legal strategies (like cease and desist letters) are required. Together, we'll explore all of the options available to you, identifying the core issues at play and creating a strategy for moving forward that aligns with your values and goals.
