1. Don’t dabble in Business with Friends

Being a small business owner can at times be a stressful and lonely game, and surrounding yourself with people who genuinely want to see you succeed is key to maintaining motivation.

Trust, mutual respect, and commitment to growth are other key benefits of going into business with friends and family, in addition to a natural synergy. This dynamic can result in tremendous benefits for your small business Australia, but also requires a solid partnership agreement and relationship management. If you can find this balance in your relationship, going into business with friends can be a rewarding experience to share.

• From our personal experience we can’t agree more with Melissa’s thoughts, it may be a tricky decision but if you have the right partner, just enjoy the ride along and make the most out of it.

2. Have a Business Plan

A business plan is creating a plan that sets out what and how to achieve short and long-term goals is the golden rule of business. Becoming a market leader requires that you carve out a market by experimenting with old rules and disrupting established models.

One thing that she recommends is to trust your instinct, go for that opportunity and don’t be burdened by the time and resources required to writing up business plans. Start simply knowing your targets, and build outwards from here.

3. Specialise in What you know

In order to achieve long-term success as a small business, money should never be the number one reason for starting your own hustle.

As Melissa said it’s not mandatory to have a degree and masters on the field

“Leverage talented people and absorb insight from expert to grow your understanding of the market. Seek opportunities to network with high-performing business owners, tap into every contact you have available for advice.”

Always do it with passion, or not at all, as she said, this is a powerful foundation for growing a business and opportunities to learn along the way are abundant for the bold.

4. Say ‘YES’ to Everything

As a small business owner, you may feel tempted to accept every project that comes your way. But you need to be aware that for becoming a visionary leader is required to channel the fierce drive for results and independence as an entrepreneur into learning to say yes to opportunities at the right time.

Always in the need for more extra time or hours in your day?

Try focusing on prioritising, you will have more capacity to drive sizeable growth through the things that are most important to growing your business. Decisions should be streamlined by dividing and conquering approvals among key employees, allowing the company to embrace a healthier ‘yes’.
