If you are like many entrepreneurs, then you know
that it is essential to have a good deal of knowledge when it comes to running
your business.
As we have talked about, it is important to make
sure that those that are providing you with the necessary information are doing
so without taking all of your money just so that you can spend more.
For example, some of the most common mistakes the
entrepreneurs that are just starting out make is that they just keep purchasing
information. This is especially true of
those that are starting a business online.
There is no doubt that you do need to have a good
amount of knowledge to make something happen.
You need to know how to get started, you need to know what steps to take
and you need to know just where to do all of this. But, there is a limit.
One thing that you should take into consideration
is your ability to make decisions. Once
you have purchased the latest tell all kit, realize that you are ready to make
some decisions.
If you purchase one kit or program and see
another that seems to offer some additional benefits, you may be tempted
purchase that one too. After all, it can
not hurt to have some more information, can it?
It doesn’t hurt to have a good amount of
information, except for the pocketbook, of course. Yet, that is not the problem. What the problem is what you do with it.
A Principle
There are a number of things that you can do to
make this happen to you. Remember this
principle.
If you find yourself purchasing one product after
another product, you are not thinking about your next productive move, but
rather holding yourself up.
If you purchase a product to benefit your
business, it is essential for you to use it and get the most out of it prior to
moving on to the next purchase.
Making It Count
In later chapters we will talk about the fact
that you need to manage your money closely, but for now, realize that the
investment in any asset or tool to benefit your business needs to be used fully
for it to be a wise investment.
No matter what business you are in, if you do not
take the time to invest in a business product wisely, you are literally
throwing your profit out.
If you fall victim to all of those ploys to purchase this greta kit or that sure fire method of making a million dollars, you sure are helping someone else to make that million dollars.
Now, that is not to say that you shouldn’t
purchase any of them. Instead, select
the one that provides the best resources for you, invest in it wisely and then
use it completely, incorporating all that needs to be incorporated into the
plan.
When you do this, your investment is beneficial
to your business. If you just move on to
the next thing, you find yourself facing not benefits but pitfalls and an empty
wallet to go with it.
Making Wise Choices
In our next chapters, we will touch on some very
important assets including your cash flow.
But, before we do that, we need to touch on the principal of making the
right decisions regarding your business.
How do you make decisions? Do you make spur of the moment choices
because that is the way that you feel that day?
Do you work hard at finding the right solution,
so much so that by the time you make the decision it is too late?
If you do these things, you are not benefiting
your business, but rather letting the cards fall where they will. This is a huge problem for the overwhelming
majority of those entrepreneurs out there that are just starting out. Making wise decisions is not easy, but it
must be done, nevertheless.
Once you realize the way that you are currently
making a decision, you can begin to correct it.
To help you to make the right choices, follow these steps and tips to
securing the right decisions without letting them get past you.
Decision Making Tips
Making a decision is hard work. Here are some tips to help you.
1.
Invest time in learning about the possible
product or problem that you are facing.
If you are trying to decide on whether or not to purchase a product,
consider what it will do to enhance your business’s performance. What can it do for you?
2.
Spend some time researching possible solutions,
both what you have found and what you have not.
What can it do for your problem? What
is the lowest cost you can find? What
are the potential pitfalls of this item?
3.
After this is done, determine if the investment
is worth it to your own well being or to your business’s. Waiting until after you learn more about the
product will allow a decision to form as a conclusion to the research you have
done.
4.
If you can not decide within a few days, then
perhaps you are too leery of this item or choice to determine it is right for
your business. Let it go and forget
it. Or, find another option. Do not dwell on it.
Making the right decisions
also means that you need to realize your current state of affairs.
If your business is not
pulling in profits because it does not have the necessary tools, it is time to
invest in some new tools otherwise your business will not be there long enough
for you to worry about it.
If your business is doing
okay and there is no hang up, then do not invest in something that does not
have a direct return on your profit margin.
Most entrepreneurs have tons
of people coming to them offering them a wide range of different benefits,
products, and services because, like you, they are looking to make their
business work. Don’t fall for these
lures and savvy businessmen that think they can solve your problems.
Although it may seem
difficult to make good decisions in relation to the business that you have, it
is imperative that you learn to trust yourself.
If you do not trust your decisions, you can not run a business.
This too is a principal that
you need to realize: If you do not trust
yourself, you can not ruin a successful business.
