This is an excellent read for small business owners and entrepreneurs. Really gets you thinking.. This is an excerpt of the article originally published on Sitepoint.com by Andrew Neitlich
Here’s a 10-second quiz to tell if you think small when it comes to your business:
- You’ve set puny, easy-to-achieve goals for your Web design business and finances. Or, worse, you haven’t set any goals at all and are taking a passive, “wait and see” approach.
- You say you want to take your business to the next level, but never develop a plan to do it. You live in “someday.”
- You keep doing the same things, hoping to get different results. You aren’t willing to learn about and try new approaches
- You complain about outsourcing, or the economy, or whatever, instead of taking 100% responsibility for the results you’re getting.
- You don’t think you can find 30-60 minutes more per day for additional marketing.
- You won’t invest money to learn more about marketing and sales, or test a new marketing tactic. You think and act as if marketing were an expense that follows sales, and not an investment that generates sales.
- You are building a business that is dependent on you, instead of a business that you can build and sell.
