5 Tips to Being a Successful Business Owner
Thought you might be interested in an article 5 Tips to Being a Successful Business Owner and thought I’d share a few points with you here. I’ve found some relevant information here so if I find more, I’ll be sure to pass it on.
Don’t you just wish being successful was as easy as hanging a shingle and declaring yourself a small-business owner? Granted that moment when your website’s up with cards in your wallet is pretty great. But that’s just the warm up to the real game of running a small business.
So what does it take to really succeed long-term?
Be prepared for the unexpected
Have you thought about what might go wrong in your business in the next 100 days? Your major supplier could close, you could get sick and be unable to deliver for customers or something else catastrophic could happen. Take a minute to think through the possibilities that might affect you. Consider how likely they are to happen and what kind of impact each would have on your business. Then sketch out a quick plan for the things that would hurt your business most. The best time to plan for disaster is when you’re not fighting the fire.
Stay healthy
Running a small business can be a high-stress environment. Knowing that everything rests on your shoulders can be exhausting mentally, physically and emotionally. So make sure that you’re scheduling time to refresh into your diary (yes, really) and that you’re getting enough sleep.

Great point about thinking about the next 100 days. I think too many business owners find themselves on the extreme of both ends. One side only thinking about tomorrow and the other side only thinking about 5 years down the road. I think to be successful setting a good benchmark is a nice key to setting yourself up for more successes.?
