Description

I have had an online business for about 10 years now and have been in many virtual mentoring groups. I recently wanted some more in-person connections and decided to join a local group. I thought that joining a more local group would be worlds different from my online business, but what I found was that the conversations were exactly the same, and the really interesting part was that I was getting to see the same problem(s) from new perspectives. 

Talking to other business owners confirmed how I have been feeling about business. No matter what industry, model, or location you have, there are universal truths in our businesses. So, no matter what type of business you run, there are some universal business truths that every business owner should understand, know, and embrace. 

TAKEAWAYS:

• The problem you’re experiencing right now is not unique. Someone before you has had this exact same pain point. Because your problem isn’t unique, there is a solution. You have to be willing to do the work to find and implement the solution. 
• There is a difference between facts and feelings. If you only operate off feelings, you’ll never get anywhere. Look at things from a numbers perspective and make a plan. What do you need to do to create change? Look at the data and then you will develop a plan when you have facts. 
• Sometimes your business is literally nothing more than a numbers game. This is a simple, logical way to look at your business.  More sales come through with bigger numbers. The more leads you have, the bigger your email lists, the more you will sell your thing. The more you have, the bigger ROI you will see.
