If you’re a business owner, you’ve been there (or may even be there now) – to that secret, debilitating space where you feel as though you’ve hit a wall. You are far from alone if you have felt, or are currently feeling overwhelmed by:
– The number of things that are hindering your ability to make a profit
– The amount of critical skills you still need to master to achieve business success
– The challenge of finding someone with the necessary skills your business needs, that you can afford
– The lack of necessary capital that would permit you to take your business to the next level
– Ineffective marketing strategies
– The inability to create new leads.
It can actually seem impossible to know where to begin when it comes to solving these challenges. It’s not uncommon for business owners to feel burnt out and almost clear out of the necessary motivation to continue effectively with their business venture. It can seem even less probable that you’ll have the necessary resources and expertise to avoid exhaustion, burn out, and imminent business failure.

3 Top Hacks For Overcoming Your Biggest Business Challenge
1. Identify your greatest challenges with each of the following areas in your business strategy model:
– Marketing: enhancing your influence
– Generating greater profit with less effort
– Identifying the top areas of expertise in which you are lacking that are hurting you the most
2. Select one area in each of these categories that you will spend the next 30-45 days taking proactive steps to conquer. Here’s how to do this:
– Establish a timeline and benchmarks to tackle the challenges you have with each
– Create a course of study by compiling links and folders to articles, YouTube videos, E-Books, and additional online resources that will provide you with this essential knowledge. The vast amount of free resources available to you these days, although overwhelming, can be effectively leveraged with a clear plan
– Ensure that each of these benchmarks are measurable and realistic: allocate 10-15 minutes per day to master these new areas of study
3. As you gain greater clarity about best practices that you need to implement in each of these areas, consider hiring a freelancer or consultant to work with you.
