319: Stop Building a Business You Have to Keep Rescuing

Have you ever finished dealing with something in your business and thought, “Whew, good thing I caught that”? Maybe something almost got missed, you had to step in at the last minute, or you found yourself figuring out how to make something work once again. You handled it, everything worked out, and you kept moving because that’s what we do as business owners.

Being able to figure things out is a skill, especially when you’re building a business and working with what you have. Resourcefulness can take you pretty far. The challenge comes when you’ve gotten so good at figuring things out that you don’t notice how often your business needs you to do it.

A business can look like it’s working while requiring a whole lot from you behind the scenes to keep it that way. You may still be checking on things you thought you handed off, dealing with an issue that feels a little too familiar, or trying to make the numbers work for another month. You handle it each time, but eventually, it’s worth paying attention to what keeps bringing you back to the same place.

This episode of the Black to Business podcast gets into what happens when saving the day starts becoming a regular part of running your business. We’re talking about the patterns that can be easy to miss when you’re busy handling what’s in front of you, what those patterns can show you about your business, and how to start making changes that don’t always require more from you.

DURING THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

• How to recognize when your resourcefulness has turned into constantly rescuing the business
• What your financial patterns may be telling you beyond needing more sales
• How to know when a problem needs more than another quick fix
• How to make better decisions about what actually needs to change
• Where to start when several things in your business could use your attention
