I am writing a book in which I am trying to convey how a seasoned business owner thinks to new business owners. Your number 2, building incrementally, and number 5, think in terms of numbers right from the start, are high on my list. Another one high on my list is learning to think in terms of client needs, not in terms of what you do, as is developing an instinct for creating relationships for mutual business benefit. I had a business for 13 years, then went to work in an SBA funded program counseling small businesses in the DC area. "Learning to think like a business owner" is a passion of mine...I've watched too many people trip over their incomplete understanding of their businesses and suffer financial and personal hardships as a result. If we are going to be a nation of self-employed people and small business owners, we need more reliable ways to achieve the full spectrum of skills it takes to be successful.

It is actually more of a relief to KNOW even if the picture isn't pretty, than it is to NOT know and worry all night :) I use Xero (xero.com) for my accounting and know another small business who is more obsessed than I am about ensuring their accounts are done daily.

Starting up a business in not easy. When you watch your baby (so to speak) grows beyond a critical mass, you need help from others, need to hire brains and hands. The emotional stake is high. You may not want to be a control freak, but you may just be to emotional involved to let others do the job. Point #1 really rings a bell. I hope more small business owners learn this and really relief themselves. Point #3 is good but a bit tricky. I tend to do this: keep a list of issues to be tackled and sort through them into categories first before using the unconscious. There are items of "high immediate priority", some with "need to work on", some "nice to be solved". And, also beware of too engaged in the problem and ignore your better half. Don't let the business worsen your relationship :) Well, thank you for the nice article. I love the 5 tips. Starting up a business in not easy.

I have never heard #3 codified but I've been doing it accidentally for years. Looking forward to trying it on purpose now. And #2 is the hardest to convince people of - piling on one grain of sand at a time may take a while, but it will also build a sandcastle. Great stuff, Anita.

I am visiting your blog for the first time and it is simply awesome. I know you from Yaro Starak. I heard the conversation between you and Yaro, at that time you were telling that you had 60k RSS readers and now its 196k, that's fantastic. May be you would have reached 500k readers by now if you did not waste 2 years in blogger, anyway lets forget the past. Anita, you deserve it, you will reach 1 million RSS readers soon! And I guess you can work a little on improving the design of the blog. You can make the font size little bigger. Many people are still stuck in low resolution monitors and not every one can read like I and you do, on big screens :-) Deepak Great words.
