One of the biggest reasons I see small business owners struggle to attract enough clients is...
They try to do everything themselves, which translates into they don't see the benefit of hiring outside help in the form of a coach or mentor.
They just want to "go it alone" without anyone else helping them along.
Sound familiar? If you have never taken the plunge to hire outside help in your small business, and you seem to struggle in marketing and getting clients, I would venture a very big bet that one of the reasons you're struggling is because, you don't have an outside expert in your corner to help you succeed.
Those of you who have read any of my articles for a while, know that I preach the "gospel" of NOT doing everything all by yourself.

The same holds true for me as well.
My business is like my own kid and there are times that I'm just too close to be able to take a step back and make an objective decision.
And another big reason to get outside help is...
To save you from "analysis-paralysis".
Meaning getting outside help gives you an outlet to bounce ideas off of and it helps you develop concrete steps to actually get things done.
Most small business owners are business owners of one...
if this is you, you already know, we can and do have a tendency to analyze and analyze and analyze...

Hiring outside help will actually help you get out of your head and into the work before you.
You will definitely get a lot more done with help that you would on your own.
Yet another big reason to get outside help is...
Hiring outside help will help thwart most of the hurdles you run into every day in the operations of our business.
I can tell you first hand that when I hire outside help, in the form of a coach or consultant, it pays for itself several times over.
