ARE YOU JUST TINKERING AROUND IN YOUR BUSINESS? | MAVEN MINI

Today’s Maven Mini is inspired by one of my clients! Are you a business owner just tinkering around? Or are you someone who is going to own up to your role as a successful and savvy business owner? I know what role I want to be, but I can tell you there’s a huge difference between those two roles.
So, how can you dive in and really own your successful and savvy genius? First, I just want to say my client’s problem was a very common one. We’ve all been there. This woman hired a contractor that is not delivering. This has happened to every entrepreneur! If it hasn’t happened to you yet, just wait, because it will! But, the important thing to focus on is not that it happens, but how you will handle it when it does happen. That’s what you need to focus on.
So, my client is ready to do a beta test and do a first launch on her online course. She decided to outsource some of those moving parts. What happens when things go wrong is that you feel really powerless, because you don’t know what you don’t know, right? You don’t know how to ask the right questions, etc. Now, this is what she said to me, that made me know instantly she was just tinkering around instead of owning it. She said, “They would commit things to me and then they would not deliver them.” or “The work was not to my standards.”
So, I said to her, listen, you don’t know what you don’t know, but you’ve already established they’re not good! So, don’t give them more money when you’ve already found out they aren’t the quality you’re looking for. You are the business owner! It is time to take charge and find someone else.
So, dear listeners, do you want to be someone who just tinkers and lets things happen at a whim, or do you want to own it and make those decisions to get your business moving forward?
