[[:encoded, "Business owners typically “live” their principles. They may not stand up and shout, “Here are the principles by which I run my business and live my life” but their principles are embedded in their thoughts, words, and actions. \n\nIf you’re not certain what your business principles are, if you want to add more principles to your arsenal, or if you simply want to understand business principles, let’s explore a list of 11 for you to ponder. \n\nOne of the challenges many people struggle with is trying to have personal satisfaction while running a business without sacrificing one for the other. Your principles will help drive your business and help you get back to a more satisfying personal life. \n\n1.\tWhat are your strengths? When you focus on what you’re strong in, you can find ways to address business weaknesses. One way to best address a business weakness is to delegate those tasks at which you struggle. When you do this, you remove that struggle from your plate, and you can fully focus on the strengths you bring to the table. I think it is better to work on strengths and delegate everything else, if possible. \n\n2.\tFocus on short-term goals on your way toward your large dreams. When you are striving toward an audacious goal, you may sacrifice personal or family time in its pursuit. When you set short-term goals, you can work toward them, chip away at the larger goal, and know that you’re making progress without sacrificing your dreams. \n\n3.\tWhat personal goals do you have? If you aren’t certain how your business will enhance your personal goals, how will you know if you’ve reached personal satisfaction nirvana? Personal goals should be the driving force behind business goals. Know what you want to, and need to, achieve personally, then work your business dreams around those principle-driven goals. \n\n4.\tDo you practice what you preach? If you “preach” about taking the weekends off of work to recharge your batteries, but you spend the weekends working and sacrificing personal time, you need to take a step back and rethink where your principles got off track and get back on track. \n\n5.\tCelebrate wins at work and at home. When your personal and your business principles mesh you can and should celebrate. Even if you’re a solopreneur, unless you’re single and have no immediate family and don’t even share your life with a goldfish – you are NOT going it alone. A supportive personal team will help you achieve your business goals. Thank those who
