My No.1 tip to accelerate your business

I’ve learnt a lot of things running my own business. But there’s one thing that stands out head and shoulders above the rest, and it’s helped me grow most of all.

When you begin to run your own show, you have to do everything. Including things you’re not very good at. And things you don’t enjoy that much.

Doing stuff you don’t like often means you do it slowly and poorly. It’s energy-sapping. And that’s not a good place to be.

The importance of positive energy

You need to create positive energy to accelerate. Which means as soon as you can afford to, you need to start surrounding yourself with people who can do the things you don’t enjoy.

Recognise energy-sapping work and delegate to someone who enjoys it. Identify your weaknesses and plug those gaps.

Because the things you find tedious will be done MUCH BETTER by someone else, and more importantly will release you to focus on things you’re really good at.

It will give you more bounce in your step. And I guarantee that this energy is the single biggest thing that will help you propel your business forward.
