A painting business plan is important. However, many business owners don’t have one. So eventually these owners develop the “I-can-do-it-all” mentality. And this is not a good thing. Why? It prevents business owners from being successful. Also, it creates stress, confusion, & even self-doubt. However, there’s a few things you can do to change that. Let’s discuss…
Painting Business Plan: 4 Tips to Free Yourself From the I-Can-Do-It-All Mentality
1. Identify what’s holding you back
List all the things in your business that you’re not good at, hate to do, or take up too much of your time. Additionally, you’ll probably see some overlap… work on those first. Just remember to be brutally honest with yourself.
2. Pick the best
Find the most qualified person in your company to handle each job, trust that they’ll do it and make yourself available if they need help in the beginning. If you’re a one man show, consider outsourcing each task.
3. Be clear
Make sure they understand what you expect from them in terms of how long each task should take, as well as the level of quality. Clear communication is key.
4. Don’t just delegate
Give them the responsibility, as well as the authority that goes with it. If you want them to “own the job” then you cannot micro-manage. Sometimes they’ll need to figure things out on their own.
Painting Business Plan: Recap
It’s important to focus on your business. However, understand that trying to “do-it-all” is not an effective way to run your business. Therefore, trust in your team. Additionally, this will allow you to focus on the things you enjoy doing in your business. Also, it will make you happier.
