Will the next 12 months be better than the last 12 months

If you are like a lot of people I have talked with, last year was still a very slow year for business.  Ask yourself this question: “What am I doing to ensure that the next 12 months will be better than the last 12 months?” If business hasn’t been good over the past year, you need to change your direction.  It’s way too easy to mistake movement for progress and end up working hard, doing the wrong things.  If hard work alone were the secret to success, our grandparents would have been millionaires. If you are not getting enough leads, […]

How to define your niche

To define your niche means clearly identifying a group of people who need a product or service that you are able to provide. The best niches are those that no one else can fill or don’t fill adequately. If you have a product or service that is in high demand and you may not need a niche. But the more competitive the field you are in, the more important it is for you to find what you are uniquely qualified to do. Your niche needs to be small enough that you don’t have a lot of competition and can reach […]

You aren't truly in business until you have business!

A couple of years ago, a friend of mine started a new business in February. And his new business was started with a bang! He invested all of his personal savings and retirement in a luxurious office that was furnished. He bought the most advanced office equipment and computers. He also invested in equipment he felt he needed to run his business, including a laptop, etc. He joined the Chamber of Commerce and had a ribbon cutting and a huge lavish party. Although it seemed he had everything a business could need, he was closed by Easter. The one thing […]

Is your life or business what you want?

Are you where you want to be in your life or your business? Every year, many of us make New Year’s  Resolutions.  Have they helped you so far?  I know lots of people that make the resolutions and before the end of January have forgotten the resolutions or given up! We tend to stay in our comfort zones.  We read the same kind of books, gravitate to people who dress like we do and listen to those with similar political or religious views to our own. It’s comfortable, but seldom leads to real growth.  It’s easy to stay in those […]

How to build a more profitable business!

What does your client list look like?  Do you have a great client list or a so-so one?  To build a great client list, you need leads from your ideal profile of client. If you want to see how well your marketing is doing as far as reaching your ideal target market, look at the leads you are getting from your marketing.  First, what kind of volume of leads does your marketing generate?  Do you get too few leads?

Are you making the progress you want with your business?

Let me ask you a question.  If your car dies on the highway, and it won’t start, do you push your car everyplace you want to go, day in and day out?  No!  that is not the solution.  You need to fix your car’s engine and then drive where you want to go! Well, the same is true with your business.  If your business is not generating the leads and inquiries you need, the solution is not to keep “pushing” ineffective marketing on people.  You need to fix your marketing engine! Many business owners I meet seem to feel that […]
