Entrepreneurs Suffer From Lack of Knowledge

Ignorance isn’t Bliss; it’s a nightmare

Entrepreneurs do not have to be taught ambition; they have it by the metric ton. These go-getters in the commercial market usually have the drive it takes to get started. However, there is more to running a business then simple desire and dedication. It tragically happens that what a person doesn’t know often destroys the best intentions.

Skill ignorance is dangerous

But really, what is there to know about running a cleaning service? It is all about meeting appointments and seeing to it that the client is satisfied, right? There’s more to this though and it’s not necessarily technical knowledge. A major skill for success is time management. No matter how energetic a person may be, if he or she cannot control the daily schedule it can be a major disaster. Time management involves being able to prioritize and that is a skill that sometimes needs to be learned. Problem-solving is something everybody thinks they have but not many are able to effectively use. Often the day gets so hectic that a cleaning service owner will try to solve a problem without thinking it through, and that leads to even bigger problems down the road.

It becomes pretty obvious that what an entrepreneur needs is not more instruction in chemical cleaning fluids, but in the basic knowledge necessary to be an effective and successful business executive. The options can be learning on the job (full of risky errors), going to night school for classes (expensive and time-consuming), or being part of a franchise and taking full advantage of the training offered. A strong benefit of the last option is that the training is industry centered. The entrepreneur learns what is necessary to be successful in the commercial area where he or she does business.
