Every year, we celebrate President’s Day. Our country first started celebrating in 1887. It was a way to honor the life and work of George Washington, the founder of The United States of America.
The word “President” means to “preside” or “govern”. What do you think being the president of your business means?
In Charge
The president of any business is typically in charge of everything. Even if you have a team, you are the hub of all the decisions that get made. You’re in charge of making sure that the stuff that needs to get done does get done. From sales to customer service, it’s all up to you.
The Goals
A great President keeps the company’s goals in focus and takes daily steps towards meeting or possibly exceeding those goals. When you keep those goals top of mind you can make decisions based on reaching the goals. This helps you avoid making sacrifices in quality or service that may be a “shortcut” today, but could end up costing the business in the future.
Passion
Another trait a great President possesses is passion. If you love what you’re doing, it makes the little potholes along the road to success a whole lot easier to handle. There’s no such thing as an easy and stress-free road to success, so truly enjoying your life’s work and having a passion for the quality and service you provide is key.
Of course, everyone wants to make sure we’re getting paid for our hard work, right? Handling the money can be a very scary and annoying part of the equation that makes up your business, but it doesn’t have to be. Knowing when to ask for help and delegating the details is a key skill for a president to have.
