The Single Most Important Ingredient for Business Success

The first and most important thing you need to acquire in order to succeed in a small business is... knowledge.

Sounds exaggerated? Listen to this...

According to research conducted by Dun & Bradstreet, 90% of all small business failures can be traced to poor management resulting from lack of knowledge.

This is backed up by my own personal observations. In my 31 years as a business coach and consultant to small businesses, I've seen practically dozens of small business owners go under and lose their businesses -- not because they weren't talented or smart enough -- but because they were trying to re-invent the wheel rather than rely on proven, tested methods that work.

Conclusion: if you are really serious about succeeding in a business... If you want to avoid the common traps and mistakes... it is absolutely imperative that you acquire the right knowledge.

"Why Invent Mediocrity, When You Can Copy Genius?"

That's an excellent quote I picked up from a fellow business owner a few years back. What this means is that you should see what is working and try to duplicate it. Why go through all the trouble of inventing something new, that you don't even know will ever work, when you can easily learn from and duplicate something that has been a proven success?

[ Note: One of the BIGGEST mistakes almost all new businesses make is that they WASTE tons of valuable time, energy and money on trying to create something "new", that has never been tested or proven... only to find out later that it was a total loss. Don't make the same mistake! ]

Success Tip: Setting Goals

Good management is the key to success and good management starts with setting goals. Set goals for yourself for the accomplishment of the many tasks necessary in starting and managing your business successfully. Be specific. Write down the goals in measurable terms of performance. Break major goals down into sub-goals, showing what you expect to achieve in the next two to three months, the next six months, the next year, and the next five years. Beside each goal and sub-goal place a specific date showing when it is to be achieved.

Plan the action you must take to attain the goals. While the effort required to reach each sub-goal should be great enough to challenge you, it should not be so great or unreasonable as to discourage you. Do not plan to reach too many goals all at one time.

Establish priorities. Plan in advance how to measure results so you can know exactly how well you are doing. This is what is meant by "measurable" goals. If you can’t keep score as you go along you are likely to lose motivation. Re-work your plan of action to allow for obstacles which may stand in your way. Try to foresee obstacles and plan ways to avert or minimize them.

How to Keep Your Key Employees

1. Give them an economic stake, notably equity or options -- everyone's an entrepreneur/investor these days, especially key employees!

2. Offer each key employee a way to get around ANYTHING or ANYONE that gets in the way of their creativity, effectiveness or production.

3. Develop a company vision/cause/purpose that is even more compelling than any one individual is -- this bonds key employees.

4. Create an entrepreneurial environment which stimulates without becoming adversarial/territorial.

5. Give each key employee the BEST of every tool, software or equipment -- they need/respond well to these more than the average employee.

6. Challenge each key employee to produce FAR more than they currently are producing -- key employees NEED to be challenged to keep them focused and out of mischief or job searching.

7. Eliminate the power structure and replace it with a strength-based power structure; this in order to reduce politics and simplify structure/management levels.

8. Put the key employees in continuous training, both in their skill set but also in communication/relating/management skills training programs as well.

9. Build up the reputations of each key employee vs being afraid to grant them this visibility/credibility/power.

10. Put the key employees in their own 'club' so they KNOW they are one of the annointed one -- they'll keep paying the 'dues' which is motivating.
