Working Smarter, Not Harder, is the Secret to Success for Your Startup or Small Business

Working Smarter, Not Harder, is the Secret to Success for Your Startup or Small Business

We’re all familiar with the age-old phrase about “working smarter not harder” – and you know what? It is absolutely true! In any startup or small business you don’t have to be the best to succeed, but you do have to be smart!

There are over 28 million businesses in America. Therefore, the chances are good that your big idea is not completely unique. As a matter of fact, your business has probably been duplicated a number of times already. If it has not yet, then someone is on the verge of recreating it as we speak. Let’s face it, there are very, very few truly unique ideas anymore. With that said, you need to be able to differentiate yourself in a sea of similarity in order to succeed. The best way to differentiate yourself is not necessarily by being the best, but being “smart.” You only have so many hours in the day and while there is much to be said about working hard, you can only do so much.

What does it mean to “work smart?”

Here are my 3 tips to help you focus on working smarter not harder if your startup or small business is going to succeed:

Three signs that your small business needs help.

Three signs that your small business needs help.

One of the things I’ve learned over a 20 year career of small business startups and being a serial entrepreneur is that there will be stress and times when you will feel like the captain of a ship without a rudder.

God knows that my latest startup has been a rollercoaster ride! I’ve also been fortunate to have been a mentor to many friends with small businesses and I very regularly develop professional relationships with entrepreneurs that find themselves stuck, at a plateau – or worse. What I’ve learned along the way is that there are essentially three very common problems all small business owners will face at some point but need to overcome quickly; they’re the fear of failure, uncertainty about their ideal market and beginning not to care about public perception.
