Hello and Welcome to my Website! LIBRA SMALL BUSINESS BUILDERS
Business ConsultingAnalysis Paralysis
Some business owners and agripreneurs dive in head first without looking and make things up as they go along. Yet, there are business owners who stay stuck in “analysis paralysis” and never start. Perhaps you’re in a mixture of the two – and maybe that’s right where you need to be. Still, the best way to accomplish any business or personal goal is to write out every step it takes to achieve your goal.

Consultants versus Contractors
At some point in the life of your business – start up or existing – you will hire a “consultant” . Start with understanding the difference between a “consultant” and a “contractor”. A contractor is hired to get something done that you do not have time for or not enough work for a full – time employee. A consultant is someone you hire to share his or her knowledge and expertise with you. In a sense consultants teach you what they have taken years to learn. If a consultant has 25 years of experience and writes a book sharing that knowledge and expertise, you buy the book and read it. You will leverage that person’s knowledge and compress it into the time it takes you to read and apply what you’ve learned.
Yet, the same should be true of the “business coaches” you hire. They should be consultants, not contractors. They should be able to transfer their knowledge and skills to you. It is dangerous to fall in love with the idea of starting your own business without understanding the realities. Libra Small Business Builders can help you with this and much more.
How to get maximum value when you hire a consultant or business coach:
Consider the following guidelines when you decide to hire a consultant or coach:
- Be realistic in your expectations – The main reason for hiring a consultant is to gain a new perspective, plus access knowledge and expertise not readily available. so, it is important that the consultant have the ability and willingness to transfer skills and expertise.
- Remember that you own the business – Because you are the only one who can decide, you are the one who will be left holding the bag at the end of the day. The consultant is not there to make decisions for you, but to provide perspective, information, and observation. Furthermore, the consultant is also there to train you.
- Listen to the consultant – Hear out what the consultant has to say – ask questions. So, do not be afraid to say you do not understand what is being told to you. Take in the information, ask for guidance on how to apply the information, and make your own decision.
- Provide the consultant with feedback – Let him or her know what you like and what could be improved on.
- Give the consultant permission to speak his or her mind and tell you the truth – You do not need someone to “tickle” your ears. So, you do not need someone who agrees with everything you say. The consultant should have the confidence and communication skills to challenge you.
When you do all these things and hire someone you trust and respect, you will have a great experience and your business will be better off.
