Small Business Owners Wear Many Hats
Starting a small business takes a lot of hard work and many extra hours to start the ball rolling.
Business owners are often called upon to wear many hats and do a number of different jobs during the first few months to few years of beginning a new business venture.
As many small business owners are aware nothing can train you for every situation that will arise and frequently the small business owner will be caught in a learning curve as they attempt to solve problem after problem that they had no idea they would encounter.
Starting a business can an exciting and rewarding new venture and most entrepreneurs find themselves selecting a business that interests and inspires their work.
These greenhorns to business may not realize that their chosen profession, while rewarding and inspirational, has a dark underbelly that pulls them in many different directions at once.
The growing pains of the small business require the owner to be an administrator, marketing expert, salesperson and accountant in addition to whatever the businesses focus may be.
Even when things are going well the owner may be required to find business collection helps so that invoices and billed goods or services will be paid by the customer.
In some circumstances the owner may find him, or her self, acting as a small business collection agency when credit has been given to customers that fall behind in their payments.
This is frequently caused when an owner becomes overly zealous to close a sale that they do not think about the buyers ability to pay or they have not put in place any policy that clearly defines payment due terms.
Becoming a collection agent for your self can be a disheartening learning opportunity for the small business owner, but with the right attitude and little outsourcing the business owner can return to doing what they do best and loving being self employed.
