Five habits even the best entrepreneurs are guilty & tips on how to fix them.

1. You micromanage. We know, no one knows how to run your business as well as you do. But if you want your company to grow, you have to stop standing over your employees telling them how to do stuff. Give them the tools they need to reach the goals you’ve set, then let them figure out how to get there. Bonus: You’ll have more time for the important stuff, like strategizing future growth.


2. You change course every 10 minutes. Entrepreneurs generate new ideas as naturally as breathing but coming up with ideas and acting on them are two different things. If employees know you’ll tell them to drop everything for Plan A in the morning, then do a 180 to Plan X in the afternoon, they’ll stop taking you seriously (and likely get frustrated at going nowhere). Take time to think through your ideas, select the best ones and develop a plan for implementing them before setting your employees off on a wild goose chase.

3. You email them at 4 a.m. on Sunday morning -- and expect an answer. Your business is the most important thing in your life. Reality is, though, it’s not the most important thing to your employees -- no matter how dedicated they are. And that’s okay. Giving them downtime to rest and recharge will keep them dedicated -- expecting them to work 24/7 will leave them burned-out husks.


4. You don’t listen. Think about the last time you had a good idea and no one listened. Remember how that felt? Next time an employee ventures to offer a suggestion, listen -- really listen -- to what he or she has to say. Better yet, actively seek your team’s input. The next great idea just might come from them.

5. You’re cheap. Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is the hallmark of an entrepreneur, and getting your business off the ground without a ton of capital requires pinching pennies. But once your business is beyond the fledgling stage and ready to really grow, it’s time to put your money where your goals are. Don’t waste money but wisely invest in whatever you need to get to the next level -- whether that’s your technology, marketing or your employees.
