Attention Business Owners - Vitamins and Minerals are Available for Your Business Health. Just like supplementing your body for maximum health, your business also needs supplements for its optimum health. There are a set of vitamins and minerals that if taken on a regular schedule will get your business internally healthy and keep it that way.nn‘Now you're being silly', you say. ‘Taking vitamins and minerals - what a bunch of malarky. This is a gimmick, right?'nn‘Sorta kinda not really', is my reply. The analogy is very apt. Taking the time to address the various components of your business as a daily or weekly requirement, on a set schedule of dosages, will ensure that you have your fingers on the health pulse of your business. So many times, we as small business owners are so caught up in the emergency of the day, implementing a new strategy, filling rush orders, etc. that we leave the other parts of business to run on their own, hoping for the best. What happens? We end up moving from one crisis or deadline to the next. The business ends up controlling us and the joy we had in having our business is gone. How to fix that, to become pro-active rather than reactive? Here is a list of the vitamins and minerals that if done correctly and consistently, will ensure your business stays on a stronger footing and you will be in more control, running the business instead of the business running you.nnVitamins Whether once per day or once per week, getting into the habit of doing these tasks on a regular basis will help strengthen your business and keep it strong against attacks of chaos. Each one addresses a specific area of business management and even if you can plan to do one thing within that area, you're already on your way to better business control.nnSuggested once per day Vitamins:nM - marketing (promote your business every day);nC - contacting clients (a set callback schedule to follow up on orders shipped, services needed or just to say hi);nH - human resources (even a one person business has a person to look after)nnSuggested twice per week Vitamins:nG - goals & planning (no plan means no structure means you wander aimlessly); nP - production/development & operations (make, build and manage your products); nA - administration & organization (yes I know - yuck, but like cleaning bathrooms it has to be done)nnSuggested once per week Vitamins:nF - numbers (this includes financials, web stats, ad tracking reviews, etc.); nN - networking (get out & meet people)nnMinerals Minerals, just like health supplements, are not needed in great quantity, but they do need to be regularly taken and play an important role in the basic functioning of health. These business minerals are very similar in that role. Less defined in terms of dosage, but if practised as part of your business attitude and ethics, will increase strength, immunity and promote growth. The base business minerals include: Gratitude, Charity, Volunteering, Generosity. Is it work to remember all this, to find the time to squeeze all this in? You bet. But like building any new habit, a few weeks of doing a new schedule and then it becomes an effortless habit. Will there still be crises and rush deadlines? Yes, of course, but because your business is better managed, the stress and duration will be vastly reduced. Your pro-active approach will keep you ahead of the rush to deadline, on top of the crisis before it storms and you'll enjoy your business again.
