The Three Ps To Success As A Small Business Owner

When you first begin setting up in business and are looking for business startup advice, chances are you’ll feel more than a little overwhelmed with all of the processes, approaches, tips and tricks that you come across, all of which are being provided as ‘necessary to your success’.

Whilst we’re under no illusions that most of them can play a particularly vital role to getting your small business off the ground and help you continually grow and develop, we do feel a lot of them don’t apply to everyone.

Perhaps you’ve already got a good knowledge of a certain resource and therefore don’t need help with that aspect.  Or conversely, maybe you’re doing your accounts the traditional way and as such don’t need information on the best accounting software out there.

Receiving Criticism – It’s Hard To Accept, But It’s Vital To Small Business Success

No one likes to receive criticism. Right from our earliest memories at school when we’re always encouraged to do our best and we become aware that winning and succeeding brings with it a lot of praise, when we receive criticism, we can instantly feel like we’ve done something wrong – and not only done something wrong, but failed completely.

It’s therefore completely understandable why we can be anything other than naturally accepting of criticism.

But when you’re a small business owner, that’s exactly what you have to be. You have to welcome criticism with open arms – embrace what people are telling you about every aspect of your business – as when you do, you’ll receive the best business intelligence possible, which is an understanding of where it is you’re going wrong.

Every small business owner needs a helping hand at some point.

It’s not something to be ashamed of or something you should be concerned about – as many small business owners often come from backgrounds where they haven’t had to be business-minded, it’s not expected by anyone that you’re to instantly develop a full business knowledge.

Even if you do have some type of business background, you’re not going to know everything there is to know about setting up and succeeding with a small business.
