What could you accomplish if you pushed yourself for a year? Starting a business on a shoestring may not afford the luxury of hiring all the players, you may have to force yourself to wear a lot of hats at first, so get prepared.
Make a list of all the actions needed for your business to operate on a regular basis to grow. Make lists of daily functions, every other day, every week and every month, and so on. Create actions schedules based on these vital activities and plan your days to meet the challenge.
If the list is too large find better ways to get some of the tasks completed by outside services. Here’s an example of creative thinking that was applied by Colonel Sanders, the creative mind behind Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Colonel Sanders knew he could not own, run and operate multiple restaurant locations; he did not have the resources to do that. That’s why he shared his idea with others so he and they could make money selling his delicious recipe. His genius was creating a sellable product, but now he needed outlets so by going to existing restaurants, adding KFC to the menus, he started a food empire.
With a pressure cooker and a hand full of kitchen tools loaded in his car, he drove across the country; Colonel Sanders pushed himself to find people who would see the opportunity and sell his recipe, Kentucky Fried Chicken.
What could you do with your business if you were to . . .
Push for One Year?
