Business owners need to be:

• Leaders.
• Sales people.
• Decision makers.
• Action oriented.
• Driven.
• Disciplined.
• Energetic.

There is one thing that will allow someone who’s not all of these things to run a great business and it is unceasing energy.

Energy…… it lets you make the wrong decisions. It lets you choose the wrong people. It lets you make poor financial decisions and you will recover. The biggest problem is that without support, development, robust discussion and energised people around you that energy will flag and disappear and you’ll wonder why you ever did this.

Remember the energy, choose the people well, reward them well, and share and then you can use some of their energy to help you get through the tough times.
