How running a business has made my life better.

4/20/2016

Comments

 
I love running my own business.
Not because it is easy or everyday I bring in boat loads of money, but because it is one of the greatest  teachers I have experienced.
Every single day I learn something new.
All of the new things I learn are not taught in the class room but can only be experienced during the daily grind.
I am sure that I learned plenty of things when I worked for other companies as a regular employee but it seems like the things I learn in business speak to life situations more.
Learning makes life better. "Knowing is half the battle", as the saying goes.
​What have I learned that has made my life better?

                                  I learned how to say NO!
Learning to Say No
Not in the way most people think of it, but how to say no in a way that means not right now or let me find another way to help you.
I am a people pleaser, so learning that I can help my clients in other ways than bending to provide a service I am not comfortable with, was a game changer.
I have referred clients to someone I know is better suited to fit their needs and often they have referred my business in return.
​But sometimes in business and life no is just no. And that's ok too.

                  I learned how to  manage my money better!
manage your money better
Running and growing a business takes money.
I don't care how thrifty you are or how much you think you are gonna make your first week.
Week 2 is coming and business may slow down.
You can have money in the bank or you can throw in the towel.
It is really that simple for me.
I do not like to do a lot of borrowing so it is crucial that I keep accurate accounting of were money is going and how it is being used to make my business/life better.
I do not know when I will need to make an express run to Virginia or Tennessee so it is important for my vehicles to be in good working condition.
Money!
​These same factors contribute to how much I pay myself, my staff and my savings.

                I have learned to see obstacles as opportunities!
Over come your obstacles
When I decided to start a logistics business I thought about it in a really small way.
Just a little around town travel with a few steady clients.
When those clients did not knock down my door in the beginning I got really scared, but then I started reading and studying and trying new ideas.
With each new situation, came a new way of thinking.
I realized that there is a multitude of knowledge in winning and losing.
As one of my favorite book title states "The Obstacle Is The Way".
I see problems as thought provokers now.
Each time a situation does not work out just the way I thought it would, I study it and think about ways to get the outcome I want.

Business has made me better and I love it.
​Thanks to everyone who makes my business life possible.
