Who Is The Villain?

Every business has villains.

The smaller the business, the more the villains circle around the owner.  Very few pockets exist for the villains to hide and refrain from disturbing the working process of success when the business is small.  In most small business models...the villain is in the mirror.  Denial of this fact will only limit what success you may be able to realize in the coming year.

As much as this is true, I still find it hard to accept.  However, I have grown to accept my mirror and the person it reflects as I work on building success events in my business process.  Once you arrive at this process level, you too will begin to find wonderful elements in your sphere of influence that will be able to contribute to the potential success events in building your own business model.

Try to refrain from the process of pointing fingers at external factors.  Find the causes you can repair in yourself as you improve your efforts to build a successful business model.  Remember, you are the maker of that model, you are the leader of that model.  Accept that responsibility fully.

This kind of internal acceptance is likely the true first step for you to begin building a strong, healthy and growing business model.  Once you have accepted this truth...go back and read the blog on the 'first things first' ideas and the basic philosophies surrounding the need to improve your 'attraction policies.'  We must learn to cover the basics before we move onto the more complicated business issues and work.  

Failure to successfully manage the simple basics will eventually drag itself into a format pattern of missing necessary steps on the more critical and larger issues you face with your business model.  If you struggle with the basics, you will likely struggle with the more complicated issues.  One does not 'switch on' while the other remains 'switched off.'  The success components of business are all wrapped together, as one.  You do not have the luxury of picking and choosing what you like or do not like to do.  It all matters.  Skipping one will only ensure that the other ones will suffer to some degree as well.

Hang Your Shingle With Increased Pride!

I Too, Am Guilty Of This Effect



Look in the mirror, now.  Who do you see?  Get to know that person well.  That is the person who will likely do the most to vilify your efforts!  Go back to the 'first things first' and blog on 'attraction policies.'  Do the work and make those changes in your model that are remaining to be changed.  If you skip those, you will eventually skip the coming work as well.  Let us focus on making sure our business basics are up to the levels they need to be.  This work is not work that is about nodding your head up and down and moving on to more important issues.  Go do the work you need to do.  First things First!

See you next time...villain.
