  • The “What You Don’t Know” Conundrum

    *

    • Ever started a company just because you’re awesome at something? Sure, that’s a solid launch pad. But if you let the buzz kill your venture, you’re in trouble.
     

  • It’s like this: you nail the skill you love but you ignore the rest of the business pizza.

  • Essentials Besides Your Core Skill

    • Running a company is a full‑time circus. Here’s what the side acts usually scream for:

  • Finding Clients – Who will pay you for what you do?
  • Marketing – Let the world know you’re awesome.
  • Recruiting & Motivating – Build a squad that sticks around.
  • Cash Flow Management – Keep the money coming, or you’re doomed.
  • Systems & Procedures – Turn tricks into repeatable wins.
  • Internal Politics – Deal with drama that pops up as your team grows.

  • Don’t Try to Do It All

    • Your secret weapon is learning where you’re rusty and plugging those holes.

    • Upgrade Yourself: pick up a skill that’s a goldmine for the business (think basic bookkeeping).
    • Outsource: hire a pro for what you can’t juggle—don’t fall into the “do‑everything” trap.


  • What If You’ve Been a Solo Hero All This Time?

    • You might be rocking as a sole trader, but stepping into a bigger organization can feel like jumping into a playground with grown‑up kids. You’ll suddenly need to understand:

  • Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) – How do you get things done the same way every time?
  • Understanding Corporate Culture – Grasp the unspoken rules & etiquette.
  • Handling Office Politics – Learn to navigate the inevitable power dynamics.

  • The Bottom Line

    *

    • If you’re uncertain about any aspect of your business, admit it, learn, or bring in a specialist. A small gap can turn into a business‑ending gap if left unattended.

  • So, keep your business alive, your cash flowing, and your team smiling—just don’t let bad habits shoot your venture down!
