Are you an entrepreneur in overwhelm?
This is a typical scenario for most entrepreneurs. Luckily, I had some great coaches to whom I will be forever grateful. Let me share a few tips I learned along the way that helped me to get clear on where I’m headed, to communicate that well and be seen as a leader in my field.
Business Development Tips:
1. In a quiet place, contemplate what you truly want, enjoy, and has the potential for making money.
2. If in business for a while, of All the things you do – which utilizes your talents best, do you enjoy the most, and/or have potential for making money?
3. Focus on the top 3 revenue streams until they are steady and established
4. If you only have 1 revenue streams, add 2 more that are complementary
5. Set time aside each day to build at least one of the streams; sometimes by working on one it will positively affect the other
6. Take an evening to plan your biggest vision for your major money-making activity
7. Create medium sized projects to get to the big vision
8. Create small sized projects to get to the medium sized projects
9. Write weekly must-do’s to achieve the smaller projects quickly and pay attention to whether your are accomplishing
10. Every day you must devote one-two hours to your bigger vision – I call this your “Daily Business Vitamins”
11. Prioritize by Appointments, Bigger vision projects, smaller tasks
12. This minute – write down the first big vision that comes to your mind and begin planning!
When you operate in the manner described above, you become highly efficient finding more hours in the day. People will stop to ask how is it possible that you are achieving so much. You will feel much better about your business and begin to smile. I know because I went through this process myself.
The smile on your face says it all. Prospects, clients and everyone else will see you finally look happy and ask what’s new and take interest. A smile is actually (in my mind) another form of a marketing message and helps communicate that you have become a leader if not an expert in your field. You are well on your way!
Now add great customer service policies to your repertoire and build relationships with everyone you meet. You will attract larger audiences to your business and close more sales. You will be enjoying a very Smooth Sale!
