One of the biggest challenges that small business owners face is also the one biggest thing that will ensure their success: leadership. Regardless of industry, the majority of small business owners I work with have similar backstories: They are good at what they do, they hated their job/boss, and they feel that they can do better on their own. Often, they're right. Yet, when that same small business owner wants to scale and reach new levels of success because we all know that there is a limit to reaching those levels as a one-man, or one-woman show), they need to onboard more people to do more work. That means they need to lead those people to get the results they want. Unfortunately, this is where many business owners fail. So, if you're a small business owner who is looking to improve your leadership skills in order to reach new heights, then here are three simple ways to accomplish just that!

This can be annoying, but if you can do this, you'll see your relationships with staff members improve dramatically. You'll see that your employees will interact with you and with one another on a higher level. And most importantly, you'll see your bottom line grow over time, because YOU are having a direct and positive impact on your team members with your improved leadership skills.
