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.

Engagement is the Way to Win in Business

Small and medium-sized businesses are the life-blood of our economy, but they face specific, ever-increasing challenges. The world is in the midst of an employee engagement crisis, with serious and potentially lasting repercussions for the global economy. Without a doubt, one of the greatest challenges SME’s currently face is the attraction and retention of talent. Intelligent, honest, hardworking staff are critical to an organization’s ongoing success, but now more than ever, good people are hard to find – and they are even harder to hold on to! To ensure employee job fulfillment, loyalty and maximum ROI, the key ingredient that is so often missing is Engagement. In a recent Gallup poll, it was revealed that only 13% of the world’s employees are engaged at work, and most disengaged employees would change employers right now for as little as a 5% pay increase.

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.

Fire Yourself From Your Business

  If you want to grow your business, there's one person you need to fire right now. This person is holding you back from scaling up your business to the next level. So who am I talking about? You probably guessed it. Yup, I'm talking about you - the Business Owner. Just think about it for a minute. You probably have so much on your plate that you can't do everything well. In this business tip, I'm going to share a strategy to help you fire yourself from the things that you don't want to do or really shouldn't be doing. What I'm saying is, fire yourself from the non-strategic elements of your business. What I've seen is that the business owners and particularly, maybe founders of the company, they're still hanging on to some of the tasks that they used to do when they started their business. Well, whether it’s sales or some level of service delivery. This is something that they've always done. They’re probably good at it or they really enjoy doing
