Thou Shalt Build A Business Around Your Strengths
Business is a game of many hats.
Sales, marketing, winning work, delivery, leadership, people management, finance, strategy etc.
It can be all consuming at times.
And sometimes along the way of doing “all the things”.
You forget about you.
What you like, what you enjoy, what you’re really good at.
Today we’re exploring commandment #8 for consultancy business owners.
Thou shalt build a business around your strengths.
At a basic and simplistic level - when you do what you enjoy and what you’re good at.
Your energy, your output, the quality of your work and your enthusiasm - increases.
And being honest with you - people WANT to be around someone like this.
Both clients and team.
And when you’re not doing those things.
You get flat, tired, run down, demotivated and your energy decreases.
Not good.
Now your business needs you to lead, to inspire and to motivate.
Your business needs your energy and your motivation to be HIGH!
And the way we make that happen is to get you working as much as possible in your “high dollar productive zone”.
Aka - working to your strengths.
As you grow - you can’t do everything.
So you need to delegate and get help from the team.
But don’t just delegate anything and everything.
Let go of the tasks that don’t bring you joy, aren’t fun for you and that you’re no good at.
And build a role for yourself that allows you to focus on the things that you’re great at, that add immense value to the business and that bring you joy.
When you do this - business becomes A LOT more fun and enjoyable.
And you become a magnet for both clients and team who want to be around someone (you) who is passionate and energised.
So build a business around your strengths.
