Franchise Money Maker

It’s so cool to be an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs have
boundless energy, the need to create, the capacity to work
for long hours without sleep, and the ability to make
things out of nothing. These qualities can all be powerful
drivers of success, but this enthusiasm can also keep you
from moving forward and cause you to strangle your business
– you can only do so much yourself before you hit the
wall. Recognizing when you need help, and being able to let
go and empower others to help you, can be difficult for
business owners.

Check yourself against the following symptoms to find out
if you’re a victim of the Entrepreneurial Curse:

Symptoms of the Entrepreneurial Curse

1. You’re always jotting down notes about your great ideas
but you can’t ever get to them.

2. You find yourself saying, “I can do it better myself.”

3. You find yourself saying, “It will take me longer to
tell someone else how to do it than it will for me to do it
myself — so I’ll just do it myself.”

4. You find yourself saying, “No one can do it without my
help anyway, so I might as well do it myself.”

5. You find yourself saying, “Nothing gets done right
around here unless I do it.”

6. You find yourself saying, “My clients expect me to be
doing all of the work — they won’t accept a phone
call from an assistant. So I might as well do it myself.”

If you see yourself in any of the statements above, welcome
to the club. You, like many other entrepreneurs, are so
capable and creative, and there are so many things you do
well — so well, in fact, that you find it difficult to
accept the way other people do things, especially the way
they do things for you. In order to have the control you
need, you find it necessary and easier to do most things
yourself. And besides, why would you pay someone to do
something that you can do better yourself?

I guarantee you that none of those statements above are
true — you just think they are (it’s okay, we all do
at one time or another). I also guarantee you that if you
want your business to grow, you’re going to have to give it
up. There are only so many hours in the day.

It’s a blessing to be an entrepreneur. But it can turn into
a real drag if your business is at a standstill because
you’re holding on too tight. Think about using that
boundless energy and need to create more expansively by
getting out of the “busy-ness” of your business and using
your genius more effectively.

Now that you know you’ve got “the Curse,” you’ve got no
excuse. Ha.
