The very real danger is that business owners get into a perpetual state of paralysis i.e. we are always waiting for something to pass before we really set and achieve our goals. This is an extremely dangerous state to be in because time is our most valuable asset and the opportunity cost of time wasted on anxiety and procrastination is massive. The reality is that there will most likely always be something, so how do we build and run businesses that deliver on our financial and lifestyle goals?
We have to start with the end in mind in terms of setting really clear SMART goals for ourselves and for what we want out of our businesses. This means being really clear on how much money you want from the business, how much time you want to work as well as what the business will look like when it is finished and how you will exit it at that point.

Over the last couple of months, I have heard many people referring to the uncertain times that we live in and how that has impacted and sometimes even crippled businesses. The events of the last two years have brought the importance of leading in uncertain times to the top of many businesses’ agendas.
However, this is not the first time that we had to deal with high levels of uncertainty. One only has to think of the following occurrences in our recent past to realize that uncertainty has been with us all the time.
The sooner we “embrace” uncertainty and develop the skills to better deal with it – the better for us. Here we have to recognize that some people thrive on uncertainty and some people avoid it at all costs. Either way, it is not going to go away, and as leaders in business – we need to embrace it as well as assist our teams to better cope with uncertainty.

Many entrepreneurs start their own businesses and focus on all the “logical” issues required to be successful in business, such as a Business Plan, a good product or service, getting the right pricing strategy, attracting the right target market, setting up good systems and recruiting top notch people.
Whilst these issues are very important to be successful, many entrepreneurs do not invest sufficiently in their own personal development and growth. One of the most commonly overlooked issues is developing the mindset to be successful in business and this is most often the most common cause of failure for the entrepreneur.

High performance comes with years of discipline, massive amounts of sacrifice and the inevitable roller coaster of highs and lows. No athlete, whether participating in an individual or team sport, would ever consider embarking on a path of high performance without a coach. That’s even after they’ve normally already dedicated literally decades to the same sport.
It’s then rather amusing actually when we pity those same athletes and say things like: ‘Shame their poor performance is directly linked to the number of games they’re playing in the modern era.’
So where does that then leave the poor entrepreneurs of this world?
