Are you in business or do you just have a hobby?
I had the great pleasure to go along and hear Tim Campbell of apprentice fame, speak at an event in Harrogate last Thursday evening.
He is an excellent speaker and and went through his experiences and challenges and also some of the lessons learnt through the Mentors - such as Alan Sugar have shared with him and that he has experienced.
Out of this excellent session one of the messages Tim spoke about rang out loud and clear.
Are you in a business or do you just have a hobby? A business makes money and a hobby just gives you money to live on.
How many of us run our businesses as a hobby? Its not wrong or right but it is important we know what we are doing and act accordingly. If we are in it to make money and run a business then we must have a plan and clear deliverables on the way.
Which is it that you have? When you are thinking about starting up in business or working for yourself are you clear where you want to go?
If you are not sure or you cannot answer this then how do you expect to get there!
Look closely at yourself and your proposition and ask yourself these questions and be honest!
