Your weakest link if you own your own business is always you.
Too tired
Too soft to fire the worker who is not performing
Too disorganized
Too much work
Too many other commitments
I am my weakest link. You have to have the ability to look yourself in the eye and be honest about who you are and what you are.
That is the main difference between being a success and a failure.
Recognize that no one is perfect, but try and "shore-up" your short comings.
Iv'e seen people with the money and desire to run a company fail because their ego will not let them grasp that they know nothing about managing people or money or sales, etc...
Nobody is perfect you will have issues in one of these areas.
Iv'e seen people succeed who had very little and were so stupid they could not pour pi$$ out of a boot, but they knew how to overcome their own abilities.
You want to fail? Go ahead. Con yourself into believing that that employee should have known better. You taught them not to do it or how to do it and they failed. So you are free and clear nothing you could have done. Right? Wrong. You are the place the buck stops try to figure out what you could have done to prevent the problem and take responsibility. You should have known it would happen and acted accordingly.
Nobody is perfect.
