Because of the disastrous current financial climate lots of people have been laid off work through no flaw of their own...just a set of cruel circumstances...they are currently scratching their heads thinking where now? In the back of their head they have been cogitating - "should I set up my own post office business?" Nevertheless where do you go for assistance like that?
So how do you run a new venture? You have forever been the one who is told what to do. Now the shoe is truly on the other foot - you give the orders now. However what guidelines do you give to your staff? What signals do you transmit? How do you know if what you are saying or doing is the right thing for your new post office business? It was effortless before...the boss spoke...and you fulfilled what he/she said then you got paid 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 rewarded (or get paid less), your decisions could impact negatively upon your workers.
Be meticulous when operating your own business - for sure you plan to make wealth, but not at all costs. What are the costs of business compared with just being a worker? You have more duty to yourself, your relatives and staff if you have any - they are all dependent on you for their financial security. Gulp! Operating your own business regularly means running longer hours and you may well not make any cash from working those longer hours where before you may have got paid per hour/day. A guaranteed wage!
However knowing that you can easily pay your mortgage at the end of the day is great.
Were you one of those at school? Who's school report said..."This one will never amount to much!" What a sensation 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 schooling going these days?"
We live on a big planet; their are thousands of post office businesses - but they are not all the same; as a new businessman/woman it's your mission to run your business the best way you see fit using your experiences you have gained in life so far.
Hardly any people start their own business - most people do not have the nouse. The point is do you have it? Are you motivated to succeed in business as well as in life?
