Is Your Business Merely a Job That You Own?

Between now and the end of the year, I want to share the thoughts that are inspiring me in 2007.

Last week we talked about the REAL purpose of business. If you missed it, you can read the full article by clicking here.

This week we’ll examine whether or not your business is merely a job you own or a platform to provide you with the wealth, freedom and lifestyle advantages you seek.

Here’s how to know if you have a business or just a job.

First, can you build wealth with your business? If you are solely dependent on providing a service to one person at a time you are stuck. You can only earn in direct proportion to the number of hours you have available to sell.

If you’re selling a product, are your earnings based on the number of items you can sell to individual clients in a year? If so, your market is limited; resulting in limited income.

This can be seen as “producing” a value that benefits others.

Consider a different paradigm.

What if you created a value instead of producing one?

A very notable example is Bill Gates and Microsoft. Mr. Gates had a vision of changing the world with personal computers.

He found a way to do that through software development and created a value for the world at large.

What about your industry or chosen profession? Can you find a way to “create” value instead of producing one?

One way I’ve found is through strategic partnerships.

I’ve been able to assemble a tightly knit team that will solve any marketing or sales problem companies earning less than $10 Million in annual revenue can ever have.

To create this value I first took a look at my niche. My clients are small businesses in service based industries with annual earnings ranging from $50,000 to $5 Million dollars.

Then I identified a major problem. 90% of this group goes out of business within 2 to 3 years due low to poor sales performance.

As you know, marketing drives the attraction factor in sales, so low sales also means poor marketing.

The value I’ve created (in 2007) is taking all of the worry, stress and inefficiencies out of the sales and marketing mix.

In this paradigm, action replaces stress and worry and research and efficiency replace conjecture and inaction. Small businesses of all sizes now have a clear path to follow to grow and prosper.

The part that business owners like best is all the hard work is done for them. They are free to concentrate on growing their business.

That is a significant value to anyone who is serious about achieving all they can from their business.

Now it’s your turn.
