I want to grow my business

Growing a business is an exciting task, but it’s one of the most demanding challenges business owners face.

What can you do to grow your business?

1. Inefficiencies – Do you have systems in place to monitor efficiencies? It could highlight areas for improvement, unwanted costs or the under/overvaluing of a product or service.
2. Work on the business, not in the business – We see it regularly. Business owners spend so much time in the business that they don’t have time to work on it. Take a step back, delegate and work on how you can achieve your goals.
3. Management structure – Incorporating a management structure could allow you to take a step back and work on the business. It will also prepare you to exit the company if that is a plan of yours.
4. What do you want to achieve? – It’s vital that you know what you want so that you can set SMART goals. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely).
5. A new perspective – Sometimes, it’s helpful to take a fresh perspective. Have someone look at the business with you. They may develop ideas for growth and strategy, facilitate discussion and help you evaluate options.

Sometimes, it helps to engage someone who holds you accountable and allows you to set realistic goals and objectives. Think about a personal trainers role in helping someone achieve their health and fitness goals.
