Growth

March 17, 2019 Written by Frances

I’m talking about growth of you as a person and as a business owner.

There is a difference between 10,000 hours spent working on your craft and 1 hour spent 10,000 times.

Your craft is your trade, what you do in your business – marketing for your clients, baking pies, massage therapy. It takes time, attention and a will to improve. Does passion and love grow from mastery or does mastery grow from passion and love? Or do they grow together?

Your craft is also about business. How many stories have you heard about people who were passionate and very good at what they did, but they ignored the business side of things? These are usually very short stories.

If you only want to focus on what you do, then work for someone else.

Starting a business means you are signing up for working on your business, too. Your business can only grow to your level of business expertise. It will stall where you stall and it will grow as you grow.

It’s your business. That makes it your responsibility and it makes it your opportunity. Design your business so that you continue to grow in both craft: your trade and your skills as a business owner.
