</div></h2></div><div><style> .zpelem-text { } </style><div><div><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lora, serif;">A lot of people want to be their own boss, but they don't necessarily know how to go about it. In this blog post, we'll explore why it's important to learn from successful business owners.<br><br></span></p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lora, serif;">We'll discuss the benefits of learning from those who have already achieved success, and how it can help you achieve success in your own business endeavors.<br><br></span></p><p></p><div style="color:inherit;text-align:left;"><span style="color:inherit;font-family:lora, serif;">One of the biggest benefits of learning from successful business owners is that you can learn from their mistakes. These people have already made the mistakes that you're likely to make, so you can avoid making them yourself. In addition, successful business owners have a wealth of knowledge to share, and they can help you avoid pitfalls that you may not be aware of.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lora, serif;"><br></span></div>
<span style="color:inherit;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:inherit;font-family:lora, serif;">Another benefit of learning from successful business owners is that you can learn from their successes. These people have already figured out what works, so you can model your own business after their success. This can help you achieve success much faster than if you were trying to figure it all out on your own.</span></div></span><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lora, serif;"><br></span></div>
<span style="color:inherit;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:inherit;font-family:lora, serif;">If you're thinking about starting your own business, or if you're already in the early stages of starting one, learning from successful business owners is a wise move. By doing so, you can avoid making common mistakes, and you can speed up your path to success.<br><br></span></div></span><p></p><p style="text-align:left;color:inherit;"><span style="font-family:lora, serif;">The most effective methods of becoming successful in whatever it is you want to achieve, is to copy those who are already successful in your eyes.<br><br></span></p><p style="text-align:left;color:inherit;"><span style="font-family:lora, serif;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Here is a step-by-step strategy to become successful<br></span><br></span></p><p></p><div style="color:inherit;text-align:left;"><span style="color:inherit;font-family:lora, serif;">1. Find a role model: This is someone who is already achieving the level of success that you aspire to. It could be a colleague, friend, family member, or even a public figure.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lora, serif;"><br></span></div>
<span style="color:inherit;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:inherit;font-family:lora, serif;">2. Analyse what they do: Once you have identified your role model, take a close look at what they do that has contributed to their success. This could include their work ethic, attitude, approach to problem-solving, or any other behaviour or trait that you admire.</span></div></span><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lora, serif;"><br></span></div>
<span style="color:inherit;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:inherit;font-family:lora, serif;">3. Model their behaviour: The next step is to start imitating the successful behaviours of your role model. This means making a conscious effort to copy their actions and adopt their mindset.</span></div></span><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lora, serif;"><br></span></div>
<span style="color:inherit;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:inherit;font-family:lora, serif;">4. Measure your progress: As you start to model the behaviour of your role model, it’s important to keep track of your progress. This will help you to see how far you’ve come and how close you are to achieving your goals.</span></div></span><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lora, serif;"><br></span></div>
<span style="color:inherit;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:inherit;font-family:lora, serif;">5. Stay motivated: Finally, it’s important to maintain your motivation levels throughout the process. This means remaining focused on your goals and keeping your eye on the prize.</span></div></span><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lora, serif;"><br></span></div>
<span style="color:inherit;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:inherit;font-family:lora, serif;">While it is important to find a role model and copy their behaviours, it’s also important to remember that&nbsp;you are your own person. This means that you shouldn’t try to copy your role model verbatim. Instead, use them as a guide and let your own personality shine through.<br><br></span></div></span><p></p><p style="text-align:left;color:inherit;"><span style="font-family:lora, serif;">&quot;Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure.&quot; quote by Jim Rohn</span></p><p style="text-align:left;color:inherit;"><span style="font-family:lora, serif;"><br></span></p><p style="color:inherit;"><span style="color:inherit;font-weight:bold;">For your business to thrive, it needs effective financing.

This often results in un-aligned partnerships with profit splits as well as control over your business - with someone who doesn't know or care about your industry or business as much as you do. Whilst this may solve an apparent immediate cash pressing problem, long term, this mis-alignment ultimately causes problems. Whilst cash is important, it is better to value more the entrepreneurial expertise that can be brought in by potential investors or partners which,&nbsp; if put into action, will grow the business geometrically and sustainably.&nbsp; </div>

<div><span style="color:inherit;"><div> It isn't &quot;the lack of resources in most businesses that is to blame but rather, lack of resourcefulness&quot; that's the key and ongoing problem. Fully leveraging the skills and assets already in possession to generate capital, and in the process strengthen the business as well as entrepreneurial skill set of the business owner, is ultimately the true source of sustainable business geometric profitable growth.&nbsp; </div><br><div> Change your attitude as well as focus and everything in your business changes.

<div><br></div><div><span style="color:inherit;">Below are a few examples, briefly elaborated, on the key ingredients of guerrilla marketing:</span><br></div></span></div>

Time, Energy, Imagination = Know How = Team&nbsp;</span></h4><div><div><span style="color:inherit;">Business is a Team Sport and will need your guerrilla marketing TEAM, starting with the one or two employees already in the business as well as your existing network of contacts.</span><br></div>
<div><br></div><div> Regularly brainstorm publicity stunts, value-add content to share with your target potential customer base, join and contribute to online social media groups and hold online webinars are a few examples&nbsp; </div>

It Costs More to Acquire New Clients than Leveraging your existing client base.&nbsp;</span></h4><div><p><span style="color:inherit;">Its much easier to upsell an existing client than finding and acquiring a new client.

All the responsibility sits with you but that also means when things go wrong the buck stops with you too.</span><br></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:inherit;"><br></span></p><div style="text-align:left;"> As the business owner you are personally liable for your actions, including any mistakes you might make along the way. Those mistakes could lead to someone making a claim against you, which could in turn lead to fines, penalties, compensation or even imprisonment. Therefore, ensuring that you have the right protection to cover yourself and your business is vital. </div>
</div></div><div><style> .zpelem-imagetext { } </style><div><figure><a style="cursor:pointer;"><img src="https://www.giccapital.co.uk/files/blog_images/businessman-3042272_640.jpg" alt="" style="height:313px;width:470.5px;"></a></figure><div><p><span><span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:700;">How does D&amp;O insurance differ from Professional Indemnity insurance?</span></span><br></p><p><span><span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:700;"><br></span></span></p><p><span>If you have Professional Indemnity insurance already you might question whether it’s necessary to have Directors &amp; Officers (D&amp;O) insurance too. At first glance it may seem that the two types of insurance are the same and that having both types of insurance in place is a waste of money. However, that is not the case. There are some fundamental and important differences between the two.</span></p><div> The main difference between Professional Indemnity insurance and D&amp;O insurance: </div>
<p><span style="color:inherit;"></span></p><ul><li>D&amp;O insurance provides financial support in the event that a claim is made against a senior member or director of your business and covers you for the costs associated with legal representation.&nbsp;</li><li>Professional indemnity insurance provides protection for errors the business has made that have negatively affected their clients or customers. PI insurance is particularly relevant if your business provides professional services, consultations or advice.</li></ul></div>
</div></div><div><style type="text/css"> .zprow { } </style><div><style type="text/css"> .zpelem-col { } </style><div><style> .zpelem-text { } </style><div><p><span style="color:inherit;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:700;">What</span><span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;">&nbsp;</span></span><span style="color:inherit;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;">type of claims are covered by D&amp;O insurance?</span><br></p><p><span style="color:inherit;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;"><br></span></p><div> One of the key benefits of D&amp;O insurance is that it protects company directors from litigious employees. It also covers claims from competitors, investors, vendors and customers. Some small business owners think their general liability or packaged business insurance policy will cover claims involving directors and officers. In the main this is not the case. </div>
<p><span style="color:inherit;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;"><span style="color:inherit;"><br></span></span></p><div> Claims may come about from an alleged or actual “wrongful” act. They include anything from harassment, unfair dismissal and discrimination to decisions or actions that have had a negative impact. Other common types of claims include actions by creditors, by business competitors and customers, and actions brought by regulatory bodies such as the Inland Revenue. </div>

You need to raise capital, and you need to hire your team. You need to find your first employee, and quickly. But a too-quick hire can have costly implications. Culture and performance need to work together to elevate you and your team. You can’t have an employee who is a great fit for your culture if there is not the appropriate level of performance. But beware of the high performer who is a poison to your culture — this situation can rip the seams of your team apart. More time will be spent on political jockeying, and less time will be spent working at a high level if employees don’t enjoy their co-worker experience. And if the office is an environment your people dread, it can deal a big blow to your aspirations.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="color:inherit;"><br></span></p><p><span style="color:inherit;">Pro tip: When hiring, go beyond the interview, and conduct an audition where you actually have the person perform the tasks required of the position.&nbsp;</span><br></p></div>

You aren't day trading in front of a computer; deals can take months to procure and years to exit. There needs to be a long-term mentality and approach to all aspects of the business. It may be easy to take a quick deal at a cost to a counter party or vendor, but the reality is the short-term view could have long-term impacts. When segmented by asset class and geography, real estate is a surprisingly small world, and long-term reputation and relationships can be key to a successful career. The people and skill sets required for any one deal are vast: legal, accounting, architectural, engineering, political, suppliers, construction. The list goes on, and the web of different disciplines and people is what make real estate so endlessly fascinating. Are you sensing a trend? Relationships are incredibly important.&nbsp;</span><br></p></div>
</div></div><div><style type="text/css"> .zpelem-iconheadingtext { } </style><div><span><svg></svg></span><h4><span style="color:inherit;">&quot;If you pay peanuts, you might just get monkeys&quot; - Taking The Low-Cost Provider&nbsp;</span></h4><div><p><span style="color:inherit;">This is an easy trap: You receive three bids from three contractors, and they all appear to be the same on the surface, so there is a tendency to accept the lowest-cost option. Often, there is a reason for the variation in pricing, and you get what you pay for. When building your real estate investment business, take the time to dig a layer deeper, go below the surface and uncover the nuances so you understand why each provider is priced the way it is. There is often a good reason, and paying a little more upfront tends to save capital later in the investment.&nbsp;</span><br></p></div>
</div></div><div><style type="text/css"> .zpelem-iconheadingtext { } </style><div><span><svg></svg></span><h4><span style="color:inherit;">Short-Circuiting The Diligence Process</span></h4><div><p><span style="color:inherit;">Some investors do this due to time constraints. Others do it because of capital constraints. And others do it because the seller doesn’t like an army of consultants going through their asset. A fatal blow could be dealt to an aspiring sponsor if their deal haemorrhages capital due to lack of thorough upfront diligence. Think of due diligence as a bank where time and resources are invested today to save time and money tomorrow. Bonus: it’s often in due diligence where you learn of an opportunity that at first look didn’t reveal itself — and it can pay off handsomely at a later date.&nbsp;</span><br></p></div>
</div></div><div><style type="text/css"> .zpelem-iconheadingtext { } </style><div><span><svg></svg></span><h4><span style="color:inherit;">Lacking Systems And Processes That Help Mitigate Risk</span></h4><div><div> These processes might not be fully developed early in an investment career, but a focus of the early stage real estate entrepreneur should be to get them in place as quickly as possible. An example is a good due diligence checklist or a thorough punch list after work is completed by a contractor. These systems and processes can be obtained through experience, education and reaching out to peers or mentors in the industry who have systems and checklists in place. Constructing appropriate guardrails is not only vital to mitigating risk, but it also frees an organization up and allows it to gain speed, efficiency and scale.&nbsp; </div>

The question is how do we increase or maximize the things that we find limiting?&nbsp; </div>
<p><br></p><p>As we walk through our hectic and often over packed ten, twelve, or fourteen hour work days, one of the questions that we should be asking is “What can I do to get more, to do more?” Instead, we just put our heads down and plough through the ever growing mountain of work. We are limited by capacity.&nbsp;<br></p><p><br></p><div> Webster’s dictionary defines capacity as “the maximum amount that something can contain.” As an entrepreneur, we have to be a little more creative than the average person and find ways to increase our capacity through leverage, teamwork &amp; collaboration.&nbsp; </div>
<div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">Below, we’ll identify the four areas where we need more capacity and ways to get more with less:&nbsp;</span></div>
</div></div></div><div><style type="text/css"> .zpelem-col { } </style><div><style> .zpelem-heading { } </style><h4><span style="color:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span style="font-weight:700;">We aim to deliver much needed capital for SME’s and Property Developers.</span></span><br></h4></div>

</div></div></div></div></div><div><style type="text/css"> .zpsection { } </style><div><div><style type="text/css"> .zprow { } </style><div><style type="text/css"> .zpelem-col { } </style><div><style> .zpelem-imageheadingtext { } </style><div><figure><a style="cursor:pointer;"><img src="https://www.giccapital.co.uk/files/blog_images/time.png" alt="" style="height:228px;width:301.48px;"></a></figure><div><h3>Time</h3><div><div> Every human on this planet is granted twenty-four hours a day. That is it. Your capacity is a total of twenty-four hours. Within that amount of time you must manage several different demands. Our goal is to buy back our time, when we can, and operate at peak performance when we are accomplishing our daily task list.&nbsp; </div>
<p><br></p><p>First, without staying in <span style="font-weight:700;">performance shape</span>, you will lose the ability to stay at optimal performance levels. Our bodies are truly a machine with an amazing capacity, but when it is abused by lack of sleep, improper nutrition, and lack of exercise, you are reducing the capacity at which you are able to work and function. The closer you are to peak performance, the more you are able to accomplish in a shorter amount of time.&nbsp;<br></p><p><span style="color:inherit;"><br></span></p><div><div> Second is our <span style="font-weight:700;">mental condition</span>. If you are mentally rested, you can think and make decisions faster because you can reason more quickly in addition to understanding the circumstances and information at a faster pace. &nbsp; <br></div>
</div><p><br></p><div> When your brain is healthy, it becomes easier to absorb and process information at a lightning fast rate. Taking the time to allow your brain to rest will give it the ability to function at peak performance.&nbsp; </div>
<p><br></p><div><div> Third is our <span style="font-weight:700;">ability to train and delegate</span>. So often, entrepreneurs are control freaks. No one can do it as good, as fast, or with the same passion as they can. While that may be true in most cases, you are only one person with twenty-four hours in a day. &nbsp; </div>
</div><p><br></p><div> You’ve got to delegate and accept people’s help. If you add one person that’s willing to give you eight hours of work a day, you have now bought back hours in your day to focus on activities that will generate more income and grow your business. Why wouldn’t you want to add more hours to your day by delegating out the appropriate task to qualified individuals?&nbsp; </div>
<p><span style="color:inherit;"><br></span></p><div><div><span style="font-weight:700;">“Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.” – Zig Ziglar&nbsp;</span>&nbsp; </div>
</div></div></div></div></div><div><style> .zpelem-imageheadingtext { } </style><div><figure><a style="cursor:pointer;"><img src="https://www.giccapital.co.uk/files/blog_images/money.png" alt="" style="height:211px;width:317.5px;"></a></figure><div><h3>Money, Your Cash.</h3><div><div><div> Money tends to be a sensitive topic. We all have beliefs that were formed through our childhood on the concept of money. With many different views and beliefs on this topic, let’s just focus on the fact that <span style="font-weight:700;">money is a tool that will either help grow the company or a tool that limits a company’s growth.&nbsp;</span></div>
<p><br></p><div> It is always amazing that the faster a company grows, the greater the challenge of money becomes, and this could potentially cause the company to implode on its own success. How do we then increase the capacity and have more money available to keep the company healthy?&nbsp; </div>
<p><span style="color:inherit;"><br></span></p><div> Here are a couple of things to watch out for: &nbsp; <br></div>
<ul><li>Keep an eye on your budget and get accurate figures. &nbsp;<br></li><li>Look at your Accounts Receivables. If they get too long, they could cause significant cash flow issues. &nbsp;<br></li><li>Find investment opportunities. There are many private investors that are often willing to invest in companies that have true growth with solid foundations. &nbsp;<br></li><li>Look at additional profit generators, products, or services that fit within your current business model. &nbsp;</li></ul><p>Each of these are ways to increase the capacity that money contributes to the growth of your business.&nbsp;<br></p></div>
</div></div></div></div><div><style> .zpelem-imageheadingtext { } </style><div><figure><a style="cursor:pointer;"><img src="https://www.giccapital.co.uk/files/blog_images/space.png" alt="" style="height:179px;width:325.64px;"></a></figure><div><h3>Space and Supply, Your Facilities &amp; Inventory.</h3><div><div> Space and Supply are tied closely together. Space is often associated with the production. Do you have a space large enough to meet the demands of the supply? If production can only create 1,000 products a day and buyers need 5,000 a day, there is a huge gap and challenge to meet demand. &nbsp; <br></div>
<p>A business needs to understand that challenge, and there are only 3 solutions to this problem: The business figures out how to increase production within the current workable hours, adds more workable hours with the equipment and space, or adds more equipment and space to increase production.&nbsp;<br></p><p><br></p><div> Space and supplies are assets that can be used towards the businesses advantage. Here are a few questions to ask when making decisions based on space and supply. &nbsp; </div>
<div><ul><li>Evaluate your supply channel. Are they able to maintain a solid supply of your raw product materials to match your growth as a company? &nbsp;</li><li>Are there back up supply manufactures that can create a safety net for your raw products? &nbsp;</li><li>Evaluate the amount of space you have available along with the time the space is usable. Can you run a second or third shift with the current space and equipment?&nbsp;</li></ul></div>
<div><div><span style="font-weight:700;">“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson&nbsp;</span></div>
</div></div></div></div></div><div><style> .zpelem-imageheadingtext { } </style><div><figure><a style="cursor:pointer;"><img src="https://www.giccapital.co.uk/files/blog_images/people_meeting.png" alt="" style="height:214px;width:320.5px;"></a></figure><div><h3>People, Your Human Capital</h3><div><div> Your employees are likely going to be the most important way to create more capacity. We talked briefly about delegating to qualified individuals to increase capacity around your own personal time. The next phase is to create more capacity by adding additional, trained people. &nbsp; </div>
<p><br></p><div> You need to create leaders of leaders instead of you being the leader of followers. Don’t miss this because the greatest of all companies focuses on increasing their capacity by training leaders of leaders and not just a loyal following.&nbsp; </div>
<p><br></p><div> Entrepreneurs tend to be a lonely bunch of souls. Too often, we are misunderstood and looked at with slight amount of annoyance. Others just don’t always know how to take someone that is passionately thinking outside the box. &nbsp; </div>
<p><br></p><div> People skills are a must in order to have more than just yourself work to achieve that dream. As an entrepreneur, develop the social skills to work with individuals that are different than yourself.  &nbsp; </div>
<p><br></p><div> Here is a 3 step plan to have great capacity with people as your allies:&nbsp; </div>
<ol><li>Start by learning how to delegate your own tasks to buy back your time. Identify the tasks that are easiest to delegate and document how you do them (create manuals &amp; operational procedures as well leverage technology such as CRM, Project Management Tools, ERP etc). This will give you a specific job description, set achievable goals, and create a daily action plan that is now something that is teachable. &nbsp;<br></li><li>Use this system and apply it to the other things you are currently doing. I would suggest building out an organization chart and dividing the different tasks you do within the company. Then create a plan that will allow you to hire the right person and move you onto the next area in the organization that you will systematize. &nbsp;<br></li><li>Finally, create the culture. Culture is like a child, it will grow whether or not you pay attention to it. So be intentional. Learn what it takes to build a culture that attracts the employees that want to be there and grow with the company. &nbsp;<br></li></ol><p>Each of these four areas has an incredible amount of potential to increase your capacity, and allow your business to grow. Don’t attempt to tackle everything at once. Identify just one area that you will commit to grow within the next three to six months. Take action and implement. &nbsp;</p></div>
