12 Top Tips for Business Owners
On 7th November, Bloom Creative turned one year old 🥳 🎈 and to celebrate 12 months of Bloom, founder Amy Walters has put together 12 top tips (you could consider them lessons she’s learnt) for business owners.
Lean into community
Find your business pals and hang out with them online or in person. Share advice, ask for help, and be ‘colleagues’.
Seek out opportunities
Something you really wanna do? Find a way (or a person) to make it happen. And help others to do this too!
Embrace imperfection
“Good enough and done is better than perfect and pending” - wise words from Karen Thatcher.
Dream bigger
Dream big and then dream bigger. What would you set out to achieve if you didn’t limit yourself?
Rest. Really rest.
When you work for yourself, it’s easy to keep working and working. Challenge yourself to slow down and rest.
Improve your processes
Look out for opportunities to streamline and improve your processes. If you don’t know where to start, ask an expert.
Keep swimming
Sometimes the tough gets really rough. It’s okay to cry about it! Then, with support, you can keep swimming.
You’re not an imposter
When the doubt creeps in, remind yourself that it’s imposter syndrome speaking lies. You are not an imposter.
Pause the overthinking
New opportunity? New business idea? Want to pitch a client? Pause the overthinking and get it done.
Outsource stuff
We all have ‘stuff’ we’d rather not be doing. If you can, outsource that stuff so you can focus on the other stuff!
Reward yourself
Achieved a goal? Completed a tricky task? Made it through Monday? Be your own best boss and reward yourself!
Set exciting goals
What do you really get excited about in your business? Set goals that excite you and motivate you.
