Many mental and personal blockages can hinder your achievement of full business potential.  The common ones to be eliminated are:

1. Lack of Skill

There is much to learn.  You need to be aware of issues like tax changes, HR Law, marketing and sales techniques, negotiating styles, the economy, and development in your own industry.

2. Attitude

It's easy to acquire a skill, but attitude can make a business.  Whether you think you can or you can't - you'll be right!

3. Focus

Doing one thing is an A+ result.  Do several at once and the result is B or lower.  Focus on must-do's so you excel at them and delegate those that others could do.

4. Procrastination

Set deadlines even if it feels stressful, because it can lead to new thoughts and ideas.

5. Monotony

Try something new or different to get relief from the routine and repetition.

6. Control Issues

These are the micromanagers.  Have faith in your team, hire capable people, delegate, leave control to your systems.

7. Overwork

Decision-making abilities are compromised when you are overworked or tired.  Schedule time off for yourself.

8. Approval Seeking

You have ability and experience, so make decisions based on what is best for the business and in keeping with your objectives (you do have these, don't you?), not what may be popular.

9. Being Creative

This is not just in your tax return.  Jot down ideas and inspirations so you can come back later and see how these could benefit the business when properly considered.

10. Think Big

If you aim low, you strike low.  Access ideas and case studies - the internet (try the business schools), books (Richard Branson, Chet Holmes, Covey), blogs, and motivational speakers (quality ones not just the spruikers).

It doesn't matter how many apply to you, pick the one that is impacting you the most and start.  Work on it for 30 days, then work on the next one.  You'll soon be tearing down the barriers you thought you had.
