I’ve never seen success, by any ones definition come alongside convenience and comfort. Just doesn’t happen.

You ever mix oil and water?

Owning a biz in a competitive landscape (majority of traditional biz) is not for the faint of heart. If the pressure, anxiety, and sleepless nights don’t drive you towards strategy and solutions, might be better suit for intrapreneurship.

And there’s nothing wrong with that.

Your team will often mimic your passion & enthusiasm for the biz, through both the good times and the challenging.

If they don’t, they might not be the best fit in the first place.

Regardless of biz, economy, geographic location, 2 critical pieces biz owners must strive to develop and understand:

1. When to go on defense (Minimize, possibly retrace)

2. When to play offense (Relentlessly hunt and attack opportunity in the marketplace)

Know the players in your market, watch how they move, market and engage with clients. Remember, in the future of sales and customer engagement, you have to put on a show!

Believe it or not, when people have a choice, they don’t tolerate boring.

Embrace the show-business!

One can’t be a data junky and expect to be a difference maker in the marketplace. You have to get out and “touch the streets” so to speak.

There is so much movement throughout the market in every sector where the whole story cannot be told solely by the data.

Free resources are abundant! Yrs back companies/individuals alike realized you have to give free content (of value) in order to build a potentially paying audience. Now, I see many who have 0 desire to profit from their advice/experience, whether that be via social, ebook, etc

Never let your top-talent hit their head on the ceiling.

Delegate growth opportunities to the hungry! If they starve for too long at your table, believe they will eventually take part in someone else’s.

If you currently operate a business, make sure you keep your head and eyes up. A business in 2022 and beyond cannot sustain with ownership working heads down.

Massive disruption happens swiftly, and there is nothing convenient or friendly about it.

[Groundwork Business @GroundworkBiz]

A very wise man once shared with me…

“Be thankful when someone is willing to share what’s wrong with your business.”

Their points may be valid, they may not be, but it certainly beats clinging only to the praises.

Warren B. Is the essentialist of investing. Sticks to a small solid few, avoids the large volatile many. Safe to say it panned out for him.

Develop a strategy that works for you. ✅

If you’re not the one prioritizing your life/schedule, you’re essentially leaving it up for grabs to other people. 🕗

[Groundwork Business @GroundworkBiz]

Never stop working ON your business. Too many owners become operators working IN the business, ultimately leading to a lack in innovation, and competitive advantage.

[Groundwork Business @GroundworkBiz]

Ownership stems from chain of command. Although some feel it’s too much of a militaristic term/practice, “open door” access to your top level leaders leaves room for favoritism, and breaks in the value chain. Clarity in the org structure defines WHO OWNS WHAT

Consistent action is the most important key to any success.
