As an entrepreneur, you’re no doubt extremely talented and driven when it comes to your core product or service. Whether you develop smartphone apps, provide healthcare services, or brew craft beer, without a high level of confidence and passion for your particular trade, you probably never would’ve gone into business in the first place.

On the other hand, when it comes to the dry, nitty-gritty parts of running a business—crunching numbers, negotiating contracts, dealing with insurance, and managing taxes—you likely don’t have nearly the same enthusiasm or surety. You might project an outer facade of confidence and certainty about the state of your company, but you may secretly live in fear and worry that it’s going to fail.

This hidden insecurity can make you feel like an imposter. Sure, you’re a whiz when it comes to the creative side of your job, but truth is, you’re likely winging it when it comes to the nuts and bolts of business management—the legal, financial, insurance, and tax components.

What’s more, this simmering sense of doubt and uncertainty can drain a significant level of your creativity and energy. If this leak isn’t plugged, it can seriously stunt your ability to grow your company into the sustainable and impactful operation you’ve always dreamed of—and in the process, negatively impact every other part of your life.

Further complicating things, since few people are willing to admit they’re struggling like this, it’s become taboo to even talk about such fears. Even though countless other business owners out there are feeling exactly like you do, nobody wants to admit their outer confidence is just a mask, so everyone continues suffering in silence.

Or maybe you’re one of those people who’s still in denial about your situation. For many, business is mainly about making as much money and attracting as many clients as possible. Since dealing with things like legal agreements, insurance, and taxes don’t seem to fulfill these primary goals, you ignore them, put them off, or fail to give them much attention. After all, you’ve got more important things to focus on.

Besides, once you generate enough revenue, all of that stuff will work itself out, right? And even if it doesn’t, you’ll at least be in the position to hire a crack team of specialists to handle them for you.

But you can’t afford to ignore or put these tasks off another day. And if you’re not worried, you certainly should be. Whether you believe it or not, if you don’t have the cornerstone legal, insurance, financial, and tax (LIFT) systems in place, the business you’ve worked so hard to build is just one accident, audit, or lawsuit away from ruin.

Though dealing with LIFT systems may not seem particularly fun or glamorous, they form the very foundation upon which your entire business rests. If this foundation is weak or not ample enough to support your operation, it doesn’t matter how hard you work or how much money you make, at some point the house of cards  you’ve built your business on is going to crumble.

But how do you even begin to address this issue?

Outside of being afraid to talk about it, another big reason entrepreneurs fail to deal with their shaky LIFT foundations is because they have no idea where to start. In fact, not knowing what you need, what to fix, and where to focus your attention is a major contributor to your fear and anxiety.

This lack of clarity also prevents you from getting effective assistance. If you can’t even identify what you’re lacking, hiring financial advisors, lawyers, and insurance agents is likely to be of little use. Moreover, if you hire someone less than scrupulous, they’re apt to take advantage of your uncertainty and sell you a bunch of expensive products and services you don’t need.
