It’s always finding new clients. I’ve been at this 20+ years now, and it’s much harder now to find clients because the market is so saturated.
That said, the difference between overall success and failure is as simple as KEEP GOING. I got real close once to packing it in and getting a normal 9-5 again.
Finding amazing people. But when we do, wow.
For me. Cashflow. I run an e-commerce brand across eBay, Amazon, OnBuy and my own website. All the different platforms pay out at different times. I often have to pause the business when I could be making sales because I literally cannot afford to pay my supplier for stock as I’ll be waiting on payouts from my selling platforms.
Staying focused on the right tasks can indeed be a significant challenge. As an entrepreneur, it’s tempting to gravitate towards projects or tasks we enjoy, but they might not always align with what’s most profitable or critical for the business.
It’s all about prioritization and sometimes making tough choices to ensure sustainability and growth. I’ve found that having a clear vision and setting measurable goals can help steer efforts towards what truly moves the needle. And if you’re looking for a tool to help with that, BeeDone, an app I developed, could be a nifty aid in keeping those priorities in check. Keep grinding! 💪🚀
