Keep Peddling

It seems as we try to build our BP3 business and as we take on new web site projects we are not really making any progress. This feeling happens to most business owners, especially within the first year or so. However, if you ask someone who is looking in from the outside they would probably say, "wow, you guys are doing great and growing by leaps and bounds".

The title of this particular blog posting is "keep peddling" meaning, don't stop building and working on your business like we are doing with BP3. When you are in the thick of it all it does not seem like you are making any progress but if you were to step back and look from the outside you would actually realize you are making some progress and usually significant progress. You have to keep working the business. If you fall off the bike you have to get back on and keep peddling. If you think you are not getting anywhere you still have to keep peddling and realize that those who are looking from the outside can see you are making progress.

One of the most important things to remember about this process is to work smarter and not harder. Spend the majority of your time working on your business and not in your business. Think about the tasks you perform each day like for BP3 it's building web sites and then determine if those tasks are building your business or are they just tasks that get you some money for today.

In my opinion the most important tasks you can perform that will build your business and help it grow each day is sales/marketing and human resources. You have to find people to buy your product and service and you have to help convince them that they do need your service or product and then you have to find good workers to help you provide the service or sell the product. Finding good employees is key to your success and finding customers is key to your success. You still need to perform all the other daily tasks like buying paper clips etc but you should budget time to work on those critical tasks of sales/marketing and human resource management.

If you budget time for these critical task your business will grow and you will not fall into the trap of working in your business and not on your business. At BP3 we are always looking for talented programmers and we are always looking for potential clients. This is never ending and if you do it right it will lead you to extreme success.
