#2 Focus on Your Strongest Sides and Delegate the Weakest
All we have some strong sides, but there are also weaknesses that we must not forget. One of the biggest mistakes in self-improvement process I think is trying to improve yourself on the side of weakness.
But, think about that situation as something that weakness can be the enemy of strengths, wrong to be the enemy of the good, good to be the enemy of excellent, etc. You will never be excellent in everything. You will never be the person strong in everything that your business need.
But, you can always quickly improve your strengths and delegate everything that you are good or bad, or all of your weakness. If you can’t work on accounting, it is better not losing your time to learn, and focus on improvements where you are the best.
#3 Learn Continuously
We are born learners. We learn whole our life. There are too many things that we didn’t know, and we can learn from everything around us.
As an entrepreneur, you can work on self-improvement only if you start with continuous learning.
#4 Build Partner Relationship With Your Community
You as an entrepreneur need the community that will support you and your business. But, the community and your company didn’t have formal relationships. They need, and they have partnered relationships.
In your community, there are the persons that will help you when you need to decide something. They are the persons that will spread your ideas. You need them. Let them be your partners.
#5 Do Not Forget About Work-Life Balance
When we talk about the work-life balance we mean of balancing your work life with your personal life. You as an entrepreneur need to spend the part of your time with your family, you need to spend time for yourself.
If you want a better work-life balance, you will need to plan your daily activities, but separated into business and private activities.
What makes you the biggest pressure to spend too much time to work? Can you improve something that will replace you in your business?
You need to motivate yourself and everyone around you to take necessary actions at the right time in the right place. Everything that you can delegate, delegate.
You need systems on which your business will be dependent even without you. You are not, and can’t be a one-person show.
#6 Improve Your Listening Skills and Systems
You need to listen to your customers. Also, you need to listen to your employees. But, it’s not all! You need to listen to your community. What about your partners? You need to listen to them also. And, there are many more entities that you need to listen.
Improve your listening skills and build strong systems that will enable you better listening, and you will increase your knowledge, improve yourself and your business.
#7 Always Have a List Of Possible Self-Improvement Ideas
If you want always to be the best, you need to work on yourself continuously. So, having a list of possible self-improvement ideas can be a good starting point for you. Simply, add things you want to improve on yourself in your self-improvement ideas list and start working on them, one by one.
