With long hours and a lot at stake, small business owners often look for inspiration and guidance as they travel along the entrepreneurial path.

South Florida is home to some of the greatest small businesses in the country. As small business owners ourselves, we take pride in supporting our local North Palm Beach County community. From visiting local vendors for purchasing items of all kinds to participating in local events throughout the area, we love being able to give back. Owning a small business is not an easy task. With long hours and a lot at stake, small business owners often look for inspiration and guidance as they travel along the entrepreneurial path.

At SERVPRO of North Palm Beach County, we have over 30 years of experience in owning a company. During that time, we have learned countless lessons about business, people, and life. With that said, the following are some important tips for small business owners to keep in mind:

1. Support other small businesses. Not only is this the right thing to do, but it usually comes back around.
2. Set goals, be specific, and hold yourself and your employees accountable.
3. Treat each and every employee with respect. Your staff is your lifeline, act accordingly.
4. Delegate tasks that can be successfully achieved by others. Your time is valuable, use it wisely.
5. Invest in marketing. Small businesses need exposure to get noticed amongst bigger companies.
6. Build a network. Use your local community to your advantage and watch as resources come from all over the place.
7. Create a company culture and work hard to keep it alive and well.

It is very easy for small business owners to get overwhelmed by endless to do lists and pressures from their day-to-day responsibilities. As such, it is important to take a step back every once in a while to go over your business goals, your company’s personality, and the overall sentiment in the office.
