Get the right tools !
Yes, having problems with work is perfectly normal. Some will prefer the word challenges. Whatever your vocabulary preference, they are everywhere, and sooner or later they might appear. Is this a sign of weakness? It depends on how you choose to deal with them!
Brush them under the carpet thinking no one saw and hope that they don’t come back to haunt you? Probably not the best idea!
All businesses have their problems (challenges) – just different ones. It’s the trademark of a successful entrepreneur or business owner to recognize and handle challenges early on.
Do you have to know the solution for every challenge? That would be too easy.
But you should know at least someone who can handle it. Strange coincidence, yet here we are.
In American business culture, business owners have no trouble asking for external support when faced with challenges. Everyone already has or turns to a coach or a consultant. For entrepreneurs, just like company leaders, finding a solution takes priority over everything else. They do not care what others might think about “asking for external help”.
In Europe, it continues to look a bit different. Asking for external support is too often perceived as a weakness.
Think of it another way: Have you ever tried to tighten a screw with your hand? It’s not easy, and actually often impossible, right? What you probably did was to use a tool, a screwdriver. Was using a tool a weakness in this case? So regardless of what others might think or judge, what counts is a positive outcome.
