Circle of Success

 


I'd like to share with you the Circle of Success for Entrepreneurs and Business Owners because you see, at the top of the circle in the diagram is YOU - the business owner, the business leader.

You know, when we got into the business we were so excited. We started building up our business and we were selling and we were talking to more people and we were just doing and we were doing and we were doing and doing it… And we just got exhausted, we ran out of time.

So what do we have to do? We have to go back and restart hiring employees to pick up the slack and to cover all the things that we just couldn't get to. We were just spending all of our time now in the business. We were dealing with our customers. We are trying to work with our team. We were trying to get them to do things right the first time, trying to get them to be problem solvers without having to come and ask us about every little thing.

What was really happening in our business is one really simple word to describe it. It's called chaos because we're spinning our wheels and not following this circle of success.

When we follow the circle of success, we start to begin to gain traction in our business.

See, it's our job as the owner or the business leader to support our team. We do that by providing them with a clear vision of where we want to take the company, what their roles and responsibilities are, and their function in the company, by providing them with proper training, by supporting the team through competitive pay and by providing them with benefits.

Now it is the team who supports our customers by providing them with our products and service the way our customers want to be problem solvers for our customers so we can help our customers achieve their goals.

It's the customers turn to support our business by buying, by paying their bills, by buying more products and services, by referring their friends, families, and business associates to us.
Now finally the business can support you… the business owner and business leader, so you can enjoy more life. That's why we got into business in the first place.

Our 6th President of the United States, John Quincy Adams once said, “If your actions inspire others to do more, to learn more, to become more, then you are a leader.”

These are very powerful words and notice that he said “dream”. He didn't say “dream or learn” or “do”. He used the word “and”. So another sign of really a good leader is one who can create leaders on their team.

For any business, this is the first step in creating a more valuable and saleable business.

Working in this circle of success, you will soon have a business that is working harder, so you don't have to and now you can enjoy more life.

If you would want to learn more about how you can implement this Circle of Success in your business, reach out to us. We'd like to have a conversation with you about how we can help you and help your business work harder so you don't have to.

6 Keys To Improve Your Marketing Success

What is the true test of marketing success? I call it testing and measuring. Most people hate it that’s because there’s a chance, however remote, that every marketing strategy that you're going to try will not work the first time you try it. In other words, it's possible that you could be spending money without seeing any returns, and that sucks. No one wants that. But consider this: you’ve probably been testing and measuring all your business life. Remember that old newspaper ad that you tried and it didn't work or radio spots, maybe, that did okay, and you weren't even sure if they worked or not. Well, that's what testing is. Testing what works and what doesn't. The next step is really to do it properly; to do it with the proper intention. In this business tip, you will learn 6 steps on how to successfully determine what works and what doesn't. Start by asking people where they heard about you. Start right now. Do it immediately! If there's one thing t...

5 Keys to Get Your Business Working without You

Business ownership is one of the American Dreams; being able to be in control of your own destiny and have the freedom to choose what you want to do and when. But for many entrepreneurs, that dream has escaped them. They have fallen into the business trap. The dream of freedom has fallen into the daily challenges and frustrations that struggling entrepreneurs face every day. No Cash – You may be selling, but there’s never enough cash to pay the bills at the end of the month. There no cash left over to invest in new technologies or to upgrade equipment or put into your pocket. No Time – You’re not running your business, it is running you. You are spending most of your day solving problems and putting out fires. Instead, you should be planning your company’s next big venture, or just have time to do things you want and spend it with the people you love. No Team – Instead of having a team of professionals that are working together toward a common goal, you have ...

Attract the Best People to Your Business

  I’m going to let you in on a secret, if you want to build a business that works without you, well you can’t.  You probably weren’t expecting me to say that.  This will take a shift in mindset.  You don’t build your business your team does. Now you’re probably thinking, "yea right, I can’t get them to show up on time.  Do you really expect them to grow my business?"  The answer is, well, yes and no. To have a great business you’ll need to hire great people.  I know you’re thinking, "Hey, I can’t find people to even show up to the interview."  This is going to take another mind shift because most businesses do recruitment all wrong. Recruitment is not about hiring great people; it’s about attracting great people.  Now if you looked at your business from an outside perspective, would the best in your industry want to work for you?  Interesting question, isn’t it? Recruitment is not about hiring it’s about marketing.  You need to crea...
