Leadership for entrepreneurs & small business

Leadership for entrepreneurs & small business
(5 minute read)

As a former U.S. Army Staff Sergeant and currently serving Active Duty Hustler, I would like to offer a few points of interest that might help a business person. These are things that I’ve learned from mentors, past experiences from life, military service and business situations.



1.     Only delegate tasks to trustworthy and responsible people. Don’t trust a dumbass with an important task.


2.     You MUST delegate a certain amount of responsibility; then, let it go.


3.     Have a PLAN. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.


4.     What are you doing to help others along your journey? Write it out.  How do you add value to the lives of others?


5.     To build a team, you MUST become a better leader. Self-Growth. Define leadership.


6.     People are looking for someone to follow. Be a LEADER. Are you doing something worthy enough to gain the interest of others?  Who will help you BUILD your vision? What positions do you need filled; put names of people who you know on a "wish-list" team.


7.     Are you fulfilled by your work? Do you offer fulfilling work to others? When you ask someone to “help” you, is it bullsh*t? …Or, do you involve that person in something worthwhile?


8.     Accountability. When you ask someone to do something, do you follow up? Call, email, text, social media inbox, by any means necessary. "I need my sh*t."


9.     Heart & Desire. I can’t teach you to “WANT” it… Is “this” what you really want? What do you want from the efforts that you are putting in?


10. What is your definition of success? ..Ask yourself and your team this very serious question. Know what’s important to you, and the people who are closest to you. You want to ensure that you’re all moving in the same direction.


Try to answer these questions with yourself, and your current or future team in mind. Entrepreneurship is a team sport. Always be assessing your situation, while being prepared to take ACTION. At any moment you may need to pivot your business strategy. If something is not working, you must change it to survive.


If you need a Coach or Mentor please contact me for my consultation services. A couple of hours together might save you a lot of time. Are you heading in the direction that you imagined for yourself?
