Here are six ways to continually build your business

Step 1 – Set some GOALS

  • This may sound easy – however they must be written down and detailed. People with written goals are 10 times more likely to obtain them. Your GOALS should encompass both professional and personal things – some I see frequently – more money, less work, better relationships, losing weight, etc. To ensure these set you up for success they should be SMART – Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time Bound.

Step 2 – STUDY

  • To grow you need to study. Based on your goals from step one – find ways to STUDY what you want. If you want to sell more then STUDY sales, if you want to have better relationships then STUDY relationships. How can you have growth in any area if you do not STUDY what getting better at it means?

Step 3 – INVEST in Yourself

  • Look at step one again and find areas you can INVEST in yourself to grow. If you want to become a better manager – find a workshop, book, or seminar to INVEST in – do not wait for someone else (i.e. your employer) to make the INVESTMENT – do it yourself. True professionals in invest in themselves and their own growth – not just the money – but also the time.

Step 4 – PRACTICE

  • This one often sounds odd to people, however can frequently be the most important. The single biggest difference between an amateur and a professional is practice. If you want to grow in your communications ability – find ways to practice. Whatever it is you want to improve (professional or personal) you can practice it.

Step 5 – Learn and Follow a SYSTEM

  • Every respected professional follows proven a SYSTEM, or more than one of them. Look at your goals in step one and find ways to learn a SYSTEM that will help you grow in that area – whether it is sales, management, leadership, or being a parent – following a proven SYSTEM will help you grow.

Step 6 – ACCOUNTABILITY

  • Find someone to be your ACCOUNTABILITY partner. Tell them what your goals are, what you are doing in steps two-five and have them hold you ACCOUNTABLE to it. One of the best ways to accomplish new things is have someone hold you ACCOUNTABLE to what you are working towards.
  • Over 90% of you reading this can get more out of 2015 by learning, implementing, and following these 6 steps. They can ensure 2014 will be your best year ever – professionally and personally. You may be asking about the other 10% – they already work with firms like ours to help them with these 6 steps – they bring the desire and the commitment – we are able to help with the rest.
