So it's in your head and you're going for it - start-up your own heavy equipment hire business that is. Except it is a new venture for you - you have never done it in the past and you need assistance, stepping stones to arrive at your objective. Don't worry we have all the support you will need.
Accordingly how do you run a business? You've forever been the one who is told what to do. Immediately the shoe is truly on the other foot - you give the commands now. But what guidelines do you give to your workers? What tells do you send out? How do you recognize if what you are doing or saying is the most suitable thing for your new heavy equipment hire business? It was easy in the past...the boss spoke...and you carried out what he/she said then you got salaried at the end of the day. Having your own business is a little harder, if you get things wrong now, not only will you not get remunerated (or get paid less), your decisions could impact detrimentally upon your staff.
Be meticulous when operating your own business - for certain you would like to make wealth, but not at all costs. What are the costs of business compared with just being an employee? You have more responsibility to yourself, your relatives and employees if you have any - they are all reliant on you for their financial safety. Scary! Operating your own business regularly means running longer hours and you might not make any wealth from working those long hours where formerly you may have got paid per hour/day. A guaranteed wage!
However having no financial worries is a great comfort though.
Were you one of those in education? Who's school statement said..."Nothing good will come out of this person!" What a feeling that would be to go back into your old school and say to your old teacher - "look I'm operating my own business now - how's the teaching going these days?"
We live on a big planet; their are thousands of heavy equipment hire businesses - but they are not all identical; as a new industrialist it's your job to run your business the best way you see fit using your experiences you have acquired in life so far.
Not many people start their own business - most people don't have that "daring do". The point is do you have it? Are you motivated to do well in business as well as in life?
