What You'll Discover In This Episode:
If you’re a regular listener of my podcast, you’ve surely heard me talking about the need to work ON your business as opposed to getting stuck working IN your business.
That is so important because working ON your business means focusing your time, energy, and attention on the high-value activities that propel you toward your goals as opposed to the low-level tasks that keep you busy.
CEOs of big, successful businesses don’t work a majority of their time, IF any of their time, IN their business. It’s their job to work ON the business and lead the team to a common goal.
You, as a small business owner, don’t have that luxury. You don’t have hundreds of employees under you managing the day-to-day operations of your business. I get it. It is not realistic to believe you should only work ON your business. But, it’s also NOT realistic to only work IN your business, not if you want to stay in business, that is. It is a balance you will need to determine based on the maturity of your business, your goals, and your unique skills you bring to the business.
Creating time to work ON your business - on improving it, growing it, committing to uncovering what is sabotaging you from working on your business and solving for that, and making it the successful business it is meant to be, will help you achieve that necessary balance long term.
In this episode of the Small Business Straight Talk Podcast, I dive into strategies to create time to work ON your business so you can stop spending so much time working IN your business and instead, invest your time in the activities that will grow it.
