A successful business owner doesn’t punch a clock or work a typical eight-hour day. It takes a large commitment of time, especially when a business is new, to focus on growing and maintaining the company. Even when you aren't physically on the business premises, you often may be preoccupied with thoughts of labor issues, slow deliveries, executing a marketing plan, how to expand the showroom floor to feature new products or countless other details.
Owning a business takes hard work, sometimes called “sweat equity.” This includes doing what needs to be done, whether it is taking inventory, stocking shelves, remodeling, doing the payroll or meeting with vendors. Worrying about staffing, profits, stock and other issues takes energy, too. You also need to commit to staying healthy and focused in order to give the business the energy it requires.
Stick to your values and commit to quality, excellence, continuous improvement, trust -- in yourself and others -- and, above all, integrity. These are the things that make a good business great. Never lose faith in yourself, your team or your customers. Your business will reward you for it
