Each of us will discover our own path to success but here are 10 tips
for business success
that I’ve learned along the way…1. Innovation is key to survival in all areas of life whether it’s technology, fuel or education. Updating or introducing new products and services, keeping things fresh and enticing, will help you grow a client attractive business. And as Richard Branson writes in a recent blog, ‘Finding time for aspirational thought is vital. When I am on Necker Island, I spend time every day in a hammock with my notebooks and iPad, thinking over new dreams and ideas’.
2. Step out of the comfort zone. In order to provide the best level of service for my clients I do aim to get out there and try different approaches. Of course it has meant making my share of mistakes but the best thing, about stepping out of the comfort zone, is that is where the MAGIC happens! And yet most of us just don’t go there!
3. Be productive rather than busy. I’ve shifted my attention every day to focus on longer term projects and revenue generating ideas. Although the results are not as immediate as the usual day to day ‘busy’ activities, the final outcomes are more satisfying.
4. Ask for help! Successful business owners always have great people to support them otherwise it can be a lonely and exhausting existence doing everything yourself. Having the right team around is essential for health, wealth, happiness and success.
5. Charge what you’re worth. Unless you value yourself it’s unlikely that others will, which can lead to under-earning and feelings of low self-worth and resentment. If this is an area that you struggle with then I recommend getting help to address your money mindset as it will have a HUGE impact on your financial success.
6. Have more impact. This means having the confidence to standout, add amazing value and reach out to more people in an authentic and unique way.
7. It’s all about relationships. At the end of the day business is about the quality of the relationships we develop and the people we meet along the way… that’s what we will remember and hopefully treasure. When we focus on our client relationships life becomes easier.
8. Enjoy the journey. Running a business can be like driving a train without really knowing when or if you’ll reach your destination. It’s easy to travel at a hundred miles an hour (or more) without slowing down to view the scenery. Take time to savour even small moments of achievement as these will give you the confidence and impetus to stay on track.
9. Master your marketing! It’s no secret that to attract more clients you have to have GREAT marketing which motivates and inspires your ideal audience. Find ways to market your products and services in ways that you enjoy and that will showcase your uniqueness.
10. Self-care. Staying healthy and having energy is my number one priority. Green juices, more plant based foods and yoga help me achieve mental clarity and physical stamina. As a result I’m in a much better place to serve my clients and develop creative solutions for my business.
