What if I am WRONG?

Today's Small Business blog post answers a business mindset question from Caroline in the UK, who posted this question at www.AskLisaMurray.com:

"I am relatively new into running my own business, having worked in a large corporate previously. How do you overcome the mental challenge of that little voice that says - you aren't good enough or - what if you advise someone and you get it wrong etc!"

When Change is the only Constant...

Change is the only constant we have and the acceleration of change in the last 20 years makes you wonder what else is coming… can we really go any faster?  Change isn’t like a tap, we can’t turn it off when we have enough!  So what are our other choices?  
In the course of my somewhat chequered career in marketing and sales, I worked for a range of small – medium businesses.  One of the oft quoted platitudes from business owners was “we’re family  here” – mostly said to entice employees to work enormous hours for no extra cash, to make unreasonable demands rather than requests and to create a general sense of guilt – as in: ‘we gave you a job…you owe us everything’ .  This approach is often coupled with vague promises of future rewards.

Create Empire Building

Have you ever wondered how Richard Branson built his empire from nothing?  What’s certain is that when he was 19 and larking about with his student newspaper he didn’t sit down and write out a business plan that included owning a couple of airlines, a space program, an island paradise and a financial institution or two!  
Many businesses build their brand by educating potential customers. Informative, high quality content promotes what they do and demonstrates their expertise.  However, it pays to think of your content as the vehicle – i.e. content is plentiful and everyone has some!

Two years ago I effectively had a network of about 50 people including my friends – I was shy, introverted and mostly preferred my own company! Not only that, I really didn’t want anyone to see me – I rather liked being invisible!!  Or so I told myself…

Are you better off having a strong vision and not so strong implementation, or a weaker vision and phenomenal implementation?  For business owners this question can mean the difference between success and failure.  Here’s a small case study that demonstrates exactly what the risks are…

Are Creativity & Cashflow Connected?

I love the magic of nature! From the depths of muddy swamps come the most stunning lotus flowers, held by stalks that bend with ease but rarely break no matter how much pressure is applied! 
Have you ever been in a place where you knew there was something more to life, but you didn’t know what was missing?  Up until my late twenties I always felt something driving me, showing me the next part of the puzzle, but not really knowing what it all meant.  For someone who is pretty good at connecting dots, I thought I must have collected a few bits from other people’s puzzles by mistake!  There weren’t many visionary insights happening… and my purpose was as clear as mud.
Many people I coach want to focus on the tactics... the 'how' of what they are doing (eg those really big decisions, like 'will I useFacebook or Twitter?'). The truth is, tactics are easily copied by your competitors, but a really smart strategy is a lot more difficult to 'borrow'.
