Starting a small business as well as my own business is
going to be challenging. What I learned is while serving as a manager in the
retail sector for the pas 25 plus year is that I have developed a awful of a
lot skills necessary to run a small business. Although I don’t plan to hire any
employees, I have developed the skills to me a leader. To train and motivate others
to get the job done. I know that there are areas that I need to work on. For
instance, I have never been to a seminar or running a small business. I have
never ran a small business and had to depend on my business to pay the bills
and support my family.
However the similarities between being a manager of a retail
business are quite the same. Customer contact, making phone calls, planning
your day as well as driving the business are skills I feel as though I have to
be successful.
Where I lack is in the self-discipline category. I know that I’m it’s going to take some
planning and sacrifices with my spending habits. I need to also be more
organized when it comes to record keeping.
Also setting prices and sticking to a schedule and routine
are going to be one of my biggest challenges that I have to face. As much as I
like competition, I hate that there is competition. I’ve really got to get over
that!
