How To Grow Your Business In Six Bold Steps
Hi all. Found an excellent article that I am sure many will relate to. Hope you get something useful out of this...
Lets face it: growing a thriving business is not easy. If it were easy, then we would all work 10 hours a week and be millionaires. Growing your business is difficult. It takes time, discipline, and hard work there are no shortcuts. You need a structured, disciplined approach that you must consistently do each and every day. However, most business owners are not naturally disciplined, consistent and focused. We tend to jump from one crisis to another and from one good idea to another only to end up growing in spits and spurts.
If you want to achieve sustainable, consistent growth then you need to follow a sustainable, consistent process. It’s a science, not an art. It’s not easy, but if you follow these six bold steps, then you will be well on your way to steady growth in your business.
Step 1: Pursue passion, not money
If you don’t enjoy what you do, then you will never truly get sustainable, long-term growth. If there’s no buzz or excitement as you jump out of bed in the morning to get ready to go to work, then growth will elude you. The fastest growing businesses are driven by owners who absolutely love and feel passionate about what their business stands for and what good it can bring to their customers.
Step 2: Use micro-plans
Now that you have decided you’re really passionate about your business and have found your calling, Step 2 is all about harnessing that passion into a structured plan. The main reason is that business plans are too long and are focused too far into the future. If you want to create an immediate growth plan, then you need to focus on what you need to do today — or this this week or next month rather than for the next 12 months. Daily and weekly focus, tied to a loose plan is far more effective. You can’t control what happens next month or next quarter in your business. Plan for growth by focusing on what you need to do today and this week.
