\"\"<\/a>As a business owner, sometimes you have to make tough decisions and sometimes you don\u2019t want to make those tough decisions, but are forced to.<\/p>\n

The thing you have to remember is, it\u2019s just business.<\/p>\n

I know you\u2019ve heard people say that and maybe it sounds a little cold or doesn\u2019t feel right from a business perspective, or from a personal perspective, but the bottom line is sometimes in your business you have to make tough choices.<\/p>\n

You might have to enforce an agreement with a client or a team member. Sometimes you disagree or things don\u2019t go the way you want them to with a client or a team member – your fault, their fault \u2013 it doesn\u2019t matter whose fault it is because the bottom line is sometimes things just don\u2019t work out and you have to make difficult decisions.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just as important to enforce the agreements you have in place with yourself as well. And for some people, that can be a little challenging.<\/p>\n

If you decided you were going to sit down and write a new business book or a sales letter for the new program you\u2019re going to launch, then you have to hold yourself accountable for that agreement with yourself the same way you hold your team or your clients accountable for their agreements with you.<\/p>\n

The thing to remember is you\u2019re running a business and even though everyone is in business for different reasons \u2013 time, money, freedom, lifestyle, to make a difference in the world \u2013 whatever it is \u2013 the bottom line is everyone is in business because they want to make money, because it provides them with a lifestyle, and it provides you the ability to go out and make a difference in the world.<\/p>\n

Whatever those things are that are important to you, whatever the reasons you started your business in the first place, if it\u2019s really important to you then you want to do business in a way that brings that money in and so it brings people to you as well. But, to do that, you have to make everyone in your business, including yourself, accountable for the agreements they make.<\/p>\n

At some point in your business you\u2019re going to have to enforce those agreements. When the time comes for you to do that, don\u2019t feel bad and don\u2019t feel guilty. You have to remember, it\u2019s not personal, it\u2019s just business \u2013 and it\u2019s something that has to be done to maintain the integrity and the authenticity of you and your business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
