Are you running your small business with an open mind? It’s no secret that running a small business can be tough. There are a million things to think about and keep track of, and it can be easy to get bogged down in the details. But if you want your business to thrive, it’s important to keep an open mind.
Therefore, an open mind allows you to see the big picture and makes it easier to spot opportunities. It also allows you to be open to new ideas and ways of doing things. When you’re open-minded, you’re more flexible and adaptable, which is healthy and essential for any small business owner.
However, if you’re feeling stuck or like your business is in a rut, take a step back and try to look at things with fresh eyes. You might be surprised at what you find. And if you keep an open mind, you’ll be better positioned to take advantage of those opportunities when they come along.

Are You Open-Minded With Your Employees?
If you want your small business to grow, you need to be open-minded with your employees. You may hear some great ideas that can help take your business to the next level. Open communication is key in any workplace, so encourage your employees to share their thoughts and ideas with you.

Being Openly Minded With Clients
If you want to be successful in helping your clients, it is important to be open-minded. This means listening to their needs and wants, and understanding where they are coming from.
It can be easy to get caught up in our own agendas, but if we take the time to truly understand our clients, we can provide them with the best possible service.
Furthermore, this open-mindedness will also help build trust and rapport, which are essential ingredients for a successful relationship.
Running Your Small Business With An Open Mind For Yourself
My business friend, Ryan Biddulph had a great quote today:
“Put in the time and work on the front end to stand out on the back end. Think right side up in a world of upside-down thinkers who put in no time and work on the front end to be ignored on the back end.”
That’s what being open-minded to you is about in your small business today. Do you put the time and work at the front end of your business?
Moving Your Business Out of Home
You may need to consider opening a location outside of your home for your small business. Especially if you are just getting ready to start a small business.
You could start by renting space to see how it works out for your small biz. With an open space outside of the home, you may attract new clients to your business.
Not only that but you may not get distracted while you work. Getting out and going to an office can improve productivity for some people. (That is especially true if you have small children at home.)
Maybe starting a she shed or a man cave can help you get away as you begin running your small business.

Thanks Lisa 🙂 Being open-minded literally opens us up to a field of infinite possibilities, business-wise and life-wise. Genuinely, this is a no brainer but most need to train their minds to open because we tend to be closed-minded in fear, due to the world’s conditioning.

Hi Ryan, you are welcome. I loved that quote you had! It’s sad to think so many are not open-minded and how much it can affect them and others around them. I’m glad to have seen your quote earlier today. Thanks for coming by Ryan and have a great rest of the weekend.
