TOP 10 ORGANISATION CHALLENGES

1) Paperwork: You hate doing it. You hate organizing it. You'd love to throw it out,

but you can't decide what you can get rid of and what to keep

2) Delegation: You can't trust anyone to do it as well as you. You haven't practiced

your delegation skills, it's no surprise when it doesn't go well, justifying yourreluctance

3) Perfectionism: Your standards are so high no one can live up to them. Not even

you. But perfectionism is motivated by fear. You can't be judged if you never finish

4) Forgetfulness: Poor working memory makes you forget what you're supposed to

do. You can remember facts, but appointments? Commitments?

5) Impulsive Behaviour: A person of action, you'd rather move than take time to

think. But shooting first and asking questions later just leaves a lot of hole you

have to fix


21/30

ORGANISATION CHALLENGES(continued)(continued)

6) Projects: The trouble with projects, planning them, managing them and finishing them

starts early. The business plan stops many would-be entrepreneurs before they start

7) Procrastination: With so many exciting things to do, boring but necessary tasks are the

bane of every owner. Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?

8) Getting Organized: You're often inconsistent. Organized in some areas and disorganized

in others, you can't seem to transfer the same skills from one area to another

9) Lack ofFocus: You have so many brilliant ideas, each one "shinier" than the next, that

your biggest challenge it to pick one and see it through from brainstorm to business

10) Time Management: You are chronically late, overcommitted and still overpromising.You

underestimate how long things will take and often scramble

to catch up late into the night


22/30

ORGANISATION PITFALLS & THEIR

SOLUTIONS

The following 5 common organization pitfalls are presented along

with their solutions

1.Marketing

Problem: Marketing is often confused with advertising. Your market is

who you are trying to target with your advertising; direct mail,

commercials, signs, etc. Many do not realize that if you dont find your

niche and your target market is too broad, you will waste your

advertising budget

Solution: Focus and narrow your target market to a niche you will

be comfortable with and then advertise directly to them


23/30

2. TIME MANAGEMENT

Problem: Many people who become self-employed do not

realize that until they hire staff, they will have to wear many

hatsAssistant, Messenger, Executive, etc. Along with family

responsibilities, these additional roles can be verydemanding

Solution: Outsource time-consuming tasks to other

individuals-that way you can focus on

growing your business while someone else works on thetime- consuming tasks. This will also provide an opportunity

for you to still have enough time to balance family life and

work


24/30

3. PRICING

Problem: Quoting fees too low for fear of losing a potential

client or not calling for payment when a clients invoice is

overdue

Solution: Talk to other people in your field and also find

out what competitors in your area are charging. If you feel

uncomfortable contacting a competitor, ask someone else

do it. The same goes for collections. No small businessowner can go without collecting their fees, so if you fear

making the calls have someone make them for you or send

letters gently requesting payment


25/30

4. NETWORKING

Problem: Not Networking, Not working Efficiently

Solution: Every business owner needs to network broadly.

Each person you meet is a possible referral or potential client.

Join the business organization for your field . Stay focused

while you are at the networking event and be determined to

achieve pre-determined goals, which were your reason for

attending the event. For example: As a florist, not only do youhave to network at floral design trade shows but make it a

point to attend a wedding or event planning expo as well as

your local chamber of commerce and people in business

organization


26/30

5. CLIENTS

Problem: The inability to turn down potential clients who

require services that you do not offer because you are afraid to

say no since you need the money

Solution: As an individual, you have the ability to choose your

work assignments but taking any assignment that comes

around does not give you the opportunity to focus on what youlike to do. Stick to projects that incorporate the services you

offer. Let the other assignments go. This will allow you the time

to work on fulfilling projects
