Avoid Thinking "I'll Do It Right When I Have The Money"
People who say, "I'll do it right when I have the money," are really saying-
"I want to create a huge mess for myself by basing my business on a
system that doesn't work as well as it could."
The fallacy of this idea is that doing it right requires money. They feel that the only way
to do a job properly is to invest (often unnecessary) money into the problem,
program, or idea. They don't understand that it doesn't necessarily take a lot, or any, money
to build a good idea, a good system, and a good foundation.
If you start your business, your culture, and your brand as one that-
Cuts Corners
That's okay with “GOOD ENOUGH”
And that is just stumbling forward,
Not only is the likelihood of your
success diminished but it will be nearly
Impossible to instill this new
mindset of "doing it right" into your
business culture.
If you're content with not doing it right initially,
there's really no reason to believe you're going to do it right later.
Money isn't what's keeping you from doing it right;
It's a lack of commitment or perspective or initiative.
And why would you do some things right but not others?
Are you going to not do it right when you submit your business license or pay taxes?
Are you going to not pay close attention to your revenues, expenditures, and profits?
Are you going to provide sub-par products or services until you can afford to improve their quality?
Of course not; You're going to do it right
the first time.
And this mindset and commitment isn't one that you
can pick and choose which aspects of your business it
applies to(unless, of course, you don't care about being successful).
You need to treat all aspects of your business
as important.
So how do you do it right?
You take the time to properly research your options, compare prices, vendors, merchants, partners, and more. You evaluate the various details of your business and see how to make
them the best they can be.
And while money is going to be a factor in your decisions, there are certain investments which will be worth the money while others won't be.
That's part of running a business.
You will be taking risks and you may make investments that don't pan out.
However,
The drive shouldn't be to just get by but to instead do the best with
what you've got.
