Are you feeling “stuck” in your business? Have your results levelled out and no matter what you do you can’t seem to get the growth you’d like? Are you feeling uncertain about “where to next”? These could all be signs of what I call the “Know-How Gap.” Working with small business owners for more than 20 years now and speaking to people all over the country on an almost daily basis, I’ve come to see how this Know-How Gap shows up time after time… It’s the gap between what you know now and what you need to now to take the next step in your business. And feeling this Know-How Gap is normal. We’ve all got our own Know-How Gaps showing up all the time. I actually think it’s essential… …if we don’t regularly experience this gap, I believe we’re not growing. But sometimes this Know-How Gap shows up and we don’t realise it or we don’t have the resources or support to help us close it so we can move on to the next step. And that can be a tough place to be. It can cost us sales, create difficult working relationships, cause us to miss out on opportunities and have us end up working too hard just to maintain the status quo, without really growing or getting to where we want to be. And that’s something I’m passionate about helping small business owners avoid. So today I want to share with you…
3 Ways You Can Close the Know-How Gap
1. Invest in You As the business owner, I know you can sometimes feel like it’s “all on your shoulders” and perhaps you’re already working longer hours than you’d like. So the idea of taking time out to invest in you can be challenging. But I believe it’s absolutely essential for your success. Investing in you can be as simple as taking some time out each week to listen to a great podcast or it can be as big as attending a conference or taking a week off to re-charge. When I take time out of working “in” my business and instead invest in something that is growing my skills or giving me a recharge or helping me see things from a new perspective, I know my business sees growth as a result. Look at how you can regularly schedule time out of your business to refresh and re-charge and invest in you. And with Summer coming up, it’s an ideal time to create more space for you in your business. 2. Look for the “stuck” place A sure sign you are experiencing a “Know-How Gap” is when you feel “stuck” about something. Maybe it’s an obstacle with your marketing, or a problem you just can’t seem to solve with your cashflow or finding the right team member. If you’ve got an issue that keeps showing up in your business, it’s likely there’s a Know-How Gap in place. And by identifying the Know-How Gap you are one huge step closer to closing it (often we have “unconscious” Know-How Gaps that keep plaguing our businesses over and over until we can clearly see what they are). 3. Find experts and mentors you can mode Whenever I find a Know-How Gap, I seek out mentors and trainers who are experts in that area and learn everything I can from them. Thankfully I’ve been fortunate to have had some great mentors and advisors and experts along the way who’ve helped me enormously when it comes to bridging the know-how gaps in my own life. And that’s also why I’ve been so devoted to seeking out the best business minds and interviewing them and engaging them to produce trainings for the Australian Businesswomen’s Network.
