Fear or Flight? What's Stopping Your Business Success?

Are your fears keeping you from succeeding?

Whether you want to grow your business or start a business, knowing how to handle your fear and self-doubt will allow you to crush those excuses, be decisive, take action and forge ahead on your business journey.

Fear is easy to understand and feel.  It impacts our health and ability to cope and causes us to make uninformed rash decisions. But on the flip side, fear can be a positive motivation tool and propel us to do something about it, get ourselves out of the situation or stop it from happening.

Every successful business person experiences fear.  What is yours?

Triggers often look like:

• How will I pay this week’s wages?
• I'm worried I'm behind on rent
• Sales are not what I thought they would be
• I'm not sleeping
• How am I going to pay next month’s mortgage?
• I'm working to pay the landlord
• My suppliers are chasing me for payments I don’t have
• How can I get my credit restored
• I may need to file for bankruptcy
• It won’t happen to me!
• Is what I've borrowed really enough?
• Should I / we say no to this opportunity?
• How do i know if this investment is right for me?
• If interest rates rise, how will I be impacted?

Don’t let your ego and fear of failure stop you from making a sound decision.

Take time to research and assess your anxieties and seek help in areas that are not your strengths.

Budget One can provide you with the peace of mind you need to make sound business decisions about the direction you are going.

We provide you with a road map, refuelling points where we check your progress and recharge you, as well as help you plan for unexpected detours, ensuring you reach your final destination.

Successful businesses have financial road maps created by highly skilled employees, but small businesses just like yours can’t afford such a luxury and that's why Budget One created our "Start Up Success" and "Business Success" programmes.

Each is designed to complement the other, at the start up phase we help plan your journey and create the tools you need to navigate the early stage start up period and the stresses that this places on your cash flow.

As you start to gain momentum you transition smoothly onto Budget One’s Business Success program to not only maintain the results you are achieving, but provide you with the confidence to charge harder and accelerate growth.

Don’t let your business spiral out of control.  Sit down with Budget One and let us help you create a road map and GPS system that puts you back in the driver’s seat and navigate your business back on track and forge your way to success.
