Your business: Stuck inside the box

This video I'm blogging about is one to laugh at. The topic I'm comparing it to.... not so funny.

It's sad to see businesses stuck inside the box. It's my job at Waking Girl Web Design in Reno, Nevada to "unstuck" businesses. It's not my job to figure out WHY they're stuck, but I usually run into it along the way.

The number one reason why your business (and website) is stuck:
YOU ARE A CONTROL FREAK
A good business owner does not get stuck on the details of her business. She hires strong people, surrounds herself with qualified partners and consultants, delegates as many jobs as possible, and trusts and supports the work of others. If you run your business more like a dictator than a leader, please do NOT get Waking Girl involved in your failing government.

Waking Girl Web Design hopes to make every client's website profitable. This becomes impossible when you micro-manage. Rates suddenly increase, every little piece of work is billed. And then, the web designer has to do the work over and over and over again. Expensive!!

And therefore, contrary to our mission statement: to bring companies closer to their goals in a PROFITABLE, cutting-edge, low-frills manner.

Just like the boy in the video, if you ever make it outside of the box, PLEASE don't hop right back inside. It's painful and counter-productive!
