Did you ever hear of company blindness? It means that you do
not see what goes wrong or what could be done better. This
happens due to several reasons. Many times people get blind
because they work somewhere for a long time and do most of their
tasks the same way as they already did for many years. It can
also happen that you just dont have that certain expertise.
And you know what they say, what you dont know you cannot
influence, however incorrect it is what you are or arent
doing.
Especially when you have your own business, and this can be a
Home Business, it is important to be surrounded by other people.
These people should have preferably other talents than you have.
However, you started your Home Business on your own and you
might not want to have other people involved. Or maybe you just
dont know anybody who would be able to help you or would be
interested in it. But we are not talking about a full time
employee or partner. You just need someone you can talk to, who
knows your business and listens to you and gives you an opinion.
A much used phrase is, it is lonely at the top. This is not
only valid for the top executives of large corporations, but
also for the Home Business owner who works alone. Successful
people usually have their own coach and are surrounded by
experts. How else do you think a top executive was able in the
first place to get that demanding position?
So the message of this article is clear. Get your team of
experts and/or coach. Where to find them? If you do not have
anybody among your circle of friends who would fit go to a forum
with like-minded people. Stick long enough at a forum and you
will find so many people who can answer all your questions. In
the end you will get to know some people better than others and
some are just as you interested to talk about their business. As
mentioned, what you dont know you cannot influence. You will
need to find somebody who you can level with on a more personal
base. For sure there are people out there that would love to
talk about your and their business. Form a group and make an
agenda to meet each other on the internet or in person. It will
definitely be a learning experience for all and you might even
find that a deeper contact with other people can be very
refreshing.
