Doing the Things that Need to be Done!

There are some tasks in my work that I do not like doing. I naturally like ideas and generating new products and services. I love learning. I read voraciously, and I am always thinking about the ideas that I am reading about or hearing in my conversations with others and how they can be applied.

That’s all well and good, but what about the things I am not so good at or that I find a struggle to get excited about or that are even drudgery for me personally?

In business, you have to manage these areas well and get your head around them. They are often the critically important areas that we need to pay special attention to. I will never be the world’s best accountant, but it is critical that I know the financial state of my business.

I will never be the world’s greatest IT technician, but it is critical for me to know what the best IT solution is for my business. Obviously, we have people around us who are experts in these areas of our work, but it is incumbent on me to not allow myself to become complacent and shift the burden of responsibility to someone else. It’s my name on the door.

As a business owner, I need to make sure that I pay attention to the things that need to be done and that I do not take my eye off the ball.
