Who is your Business Yoda?

Everyone starting out in business needs help, you don’t always know how to access the answers that believe it or not you probably “already know”. 

Allow me to explain:-

I hate business consultants with a passion, But Why?

The reason is not them but me,  I would get frustrated that all they seemed to do is take stuff that I “already knew” put it in a report and sell it back to me.

That’s the key, you do “already know” most of the answers, the trouble is that you don’t always believe what you tell yourself!

This is sometimes called a  “gut feeling” or “intuition”

What you don’t need to do is spend hundreds of pound that you don’t have paying a fee earning Business Consultant. There is another way; I call them Business Yoda’s (just because its sounds cool).

Where do you find your Yoda?

Well believe it or not they are everywhere, Networking groups, Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn or even in the local pub, you don’t need to crash your X-Wing fighter into a swamp to find yours.

You’re looking for people who understand who you are and what you’re trying to achieve, they don’t need to understand your business, they just need to know how to run one.

Take the softly softly approach with them, find out more about them, join there circles, follow them on social media.  Get them to like you and more importantly find out if you like them! if you don't, find another one. 

Over time speak about your business and the problems you are facing, if they start to respond and give you sound advice, then guess what , you are on your way to becoming a Jedi Knight as you may have just found your Yoda. There are also no rules on how many Yoda’s you can have.
