Caution! Contents Under Pressure: Running A Small Business

Running a small business is all about pressure. One of the keys to success as a business owner, whether you are an entrepreneur or solo professional, is your ability to manage pressure.

When you are self-employed, at times you may feel like you have pressure coming from many different directions. And, when you are starting your own business, there are many unexpected pressures. Once you get to the point of running a small business, hopefully, the pressures are fewer. If not, you will burn out.

How do you manage pressure? First of all pressure is good. It creates stress. Stress can cause us to do good things or to shrink away from what must be faced. Running a small business is about facing pressure. The key to handling pressure and overcoming it is to establish your priorities.

In business coaching one of the aspects that most clients address is how to reduce stress. First, we have to understand that stress is what causes us to grow if we respond to it properly. The only stress free state is death.

Business success, whether it be small business success or large business success, is getting clear about your priorities. To grow in running a small business you must know your priorities. And, here’s the key. You must be able to shift your priorities.

Think about this. You have several problems or challenges show up in an hour. Which one is the most important? Instead of determining what is most important the self-employed business owner either tackles what is easiest or responds to them in the order in which they appeared.

After all, things are hectic. Yes, they are hectic. My life as a business coach can become hectic. When this happens its because too many things have come into my life at once. Initially, I react to whatever comes in. The problem with this is that I end up putting my focus on what I deem as critical. In fact, when I am in this mode everything can seem critical.

Here’s the problem not just for me, but in running a small business. To grow and be successful you must focus on what is important. When you are in reaction mode to a multitude of challenges it’s difficult to set your priorities.

But, if you don’t set your priorities you will end up having a day and a business focused on what is critical. Progress is made when a business owner addresses what is important. When he or she does that then the number of critical situations starts to diminish.

One of the best feelings in running a small business is to have a feeling of control. It is one of the keys to success and it does not happen overnight. It takes time. It takes personal growth. And, when you have control you start to reduce the pressure.

Keys To Success: Finding Peace

When talking about the keys to success in small business one topic that seldom comes up is “peace.” In coaching success, peace is the one thing my clients value above all else.

Keys To Success: What Is Peace?

Peace can mean many things. It could be a longing for predictability or stability. It could be in having a process for doing business that minimizes breakdowns for both the business and its customers.

One thing is for sure. Peace comes from order. Distress or lack of peace comes from disorder. Now, to have small business growth and small business success there must be some disorder.

After all, the only path to growth is to change. And, change by its very nature represents disorder. Whether you are starting up your own business or running a small business there needs to be growth and change.
There needs to be some disorder.

Keys To Success: Know What Is Causing You Distress

You would like to have peace but maybe you are in one of the following situations:
  • Your business is growing yet you feel like you are losing control.
  • You are profitable or extremely profitable but you are unhappy doing what you do.
  • You are not generating the sales or profits you would like and feel lost.
  • Your business is good but you can’t seem to hire the right people.
  • You find yourself with no energy at the end of the day and not looking forward to tomorrow.
  • You are having personal problems. You end up focusing even more on your business but the reality is that with the increased focus you are seeking more escape and not addressing the problems.
When the self-employed business owner doesn’t find peace it is because they are distracted. And, too many distractions can cause too many detours and bring progress to a stop.

Keys To Success: Visualize Peace

In the next post I will discuss what peace is and what peace is not. Also, I will give you some insights in how to create peace in your business and life. Give some thoughts to what peace is for you.

Visualize what it would look like. One of the keys to success is to remember what Napoleon Hill said, “What the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.”
