Starting a new business is not about you
Starting a new business is not about you
As far as we can tell, Business is about everybody else. It makes things easy for people. All great businesses solve a problem.
Ask Yourself Question #1: What problem is my business solving?
Most entrepreneurs starting out in business try to solve their own problems first. They may say other things (because they want to look good etc.), but operationally, they are out to solve what they want first. This is not an issue in and of itself, because I believe we should solve our problems. Except, in business the first problem you need to solve is somebody else’s. Not yours! By the way, when you solve other people’s problems your “problem” disappears anyway.
2) Find out what is needed and wanted
Many new entrepreneurs are not in Business. They may think they are, but they are not. What they are doing is their “passion, self-expression, something they are very good at - simply said, their talent.” Most new entrepreneurs are out to give people what they want – not what the market is requesting. More often than not, new entrepreneurs do not start out with what the market needs and wants.
From RSC Business Group’s point of view this is not Business. That is an “art.”
Now, being an artist is a wonderful thing. We are not suggesting that people should not be artists. That would be pointless. What we are saying is that, being in business as an artist does not work.
Ask Yourself Question #2: How is my business going to find out what is needed and wanted?
Remember, all great businesses solve problems and if you want to be the type of business that actually makes a difference, builds trust, and provides value it will require a new skill-set and a new approach.
You will need to learn to listen and build relationships with people in a whole new way.
You too can reap the benefits of being in business as a business person (versus being in business as an artist).
They truly are tremendous.

Bernard ReberBack in late 1992, MS Access hit the streets. About that time the company I managed needed new software to handle their growing client base and I decided to try this new product. I had little difficulty writing and adapting a database to suit us and discovered a hidden talent for programming. A business was born. With business studies and 25 years of management experience in three different countries under my belt, I could offer a unique combination of skills and my customers agreed. From these humble beginnings my software 'invoiceit' emerged in 1999 and has since been taken to 49 states (hello Wyoming, won't you join us?), all across Canada and more than 70 other countries. From the very beginning the program included cashbook accounting, the simplest form of keeping financial business records. The Dictionary.com defines 'cashbook' as "A 'book' in which to record money received and paid out". For 'book' substitute 'simple software' and that's what I'm about. Now I have published Simple Accounting, an inexpensive spreadsheet solution which even you can master. For just $14.95 it costs less than a takeout meal!

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
