Do you see it? Opportunities are everywhere.
Sometimes we see them, sometimes we ignore them. Like the opportunity to work
with a start-up or a new business, or to hire a star employee or to diversify
your business, or to use new technology platform to explore additional revenue
streams.
In my experience working with small
businesses most of the time I see these opportunities ignored because they
requires harder work, more capital, and additional resources. Also, many small
companies are concerned about the "what ifs" of the situation. I hear
more business owners say, "What if it doesn’t work out," than
"What is the worst that can happen?"
The most successful companies are willing to
take on the risks that are inherent with trying something new. If they
experience failure, they ask themselves what happened and correct the situation
before trying again.
But they do try again.
Keep in mind the saying "No guts, no
glory." Think about what the "guts" really are.
If you have the right tools - the bones and the guts of your
business – along with the right resources to expand your business and to take
more risks, would you do it?
What if all it took to give you the
confidence to expand your business was a system that could help you function
more efficiently and effectively? When the risk is that minimal, it hardly
feels like a risk at all.
What would make you feel comfortable enough
to step up to the challenge and try something new with your business? Would you
consider it if you had the right technology in place? Would you consider it if
your staff could concentrate on making money for the business throughout the
workday? Would you consider it if you had excellent support from a technology
company who could work with you every step of the way?
