Hello Friend,
You may not give it much thought but as a business owner you are a leader. Even if you are the sole employee, you are still a leader for your business. Once you make that realization and step into that leader role, it will help your business move forward.
The theory is simple. Keep your focus on only what you need to do. Help keep your staff (and you) on that focus, and the business will grow. But as many business owners know, SOS (Shiny Object Syndrome) is the easiest way to get side tracked by something that might bring in more income.
As time goes on, it's easy to get lost along the way. Then things can get blurry and you can't decide what actually is best for your business. This indecision is not the impression you want to make to those within or to those looking in. Indecision may even come across as being afraid to make a move. Being afraid of progressive steps is also bad for business.
You are an entrepreneur, and as an entrepreneur you are a leader in your industry, just like StomperNet is a leader ours. You must step into being a leader. Fortunately, you can overcome the indecision. It's a lot like dancing, just two steps. Dr Lisa Lang has written a great article for you today about the two focus steps you need to make as a leader.

"My success, part of it certainly, is that I have focused in on a few things."
~ Bill Gates ~ Microsoft Founder
By Dr. Lisa Lang Presidents Day, next month, makes me think of our great leaders. So I did a little Internet surfing on leadership.
In a Google search, there were 154,000,000 results for the word "leadership". On the National Speakers Association's website, there are 650 speakers who are experts on Leadership.
I don't know about you, but as an engineer and NOT a very touchy feely kind of person, I have trouble relating to all the discussion on leadership.
I don't have anything against leadership or the people who speak on it or write about it (there are tons of those people and some of them are my friends), I just don't see what all the fuss is about.
There are only two things - guiding principles, if you will -- that an owner or manager needs to keep in mind. I call them the Theory of Constraints 2 Laws of Leadership:
1) Don't be a sissy.
2) Just do it.
Any leader, who is bold about what they want and goes after it without apology and with perseverance, has my attention. And if this direction is delivered in a respectful way, they have my respect. I will follow where they lead. (Am I alone here?)
