Is There Such a Thing as the Perfect Business Owner?
Sadly, the answer to this question is ‘No’!
When you are starting your practice you will make many mistakes. It’s just part of the journey.
If you already have an established practice, and you are honest with yourself, you may think back and cringe at all the silly mistakes you made.
But don’t be hard on yourself. All business owners, startups and creatives at some point will think back over their careers and recognize what they did wrong.
The important thing to remember is making mistakes is normal, and it is in fact, an important part of learning how to be successful.
Is There Such a Thing as the Perfect Business Owner?
Hope, Knowledge and Mercy
Look around you. Do you feel you are surrounded with business owners who know exactly what they are doing? Do they look like their every decision is perfect?
Do you feel like you are the only business owner second guessing yourself?
Well, think again.
Most business owners are confused and vacillate between hope and despair on a daily basis. Like you, and many others, make silly mistakes based on a lack of knowledge, business skills and sheer ignorance.
But, they still succeed, and their practices grow and prosper.
Be honest about your fears of running a business
Your Biggest Enemy Might Be Yourself
Be kind and compassionate with yourself.
Share your story with your business coach or another business owner you can trust. Talk through your fears and the mistakes you have made.
Not all business owners know what they’re doing. However, they figure it out as they go, pick up the pieces, mend the mistakes and, most importantly, they learn.
