Business Growth Plan

Is your business growth plan on solid ground?
Have you done a 6 month check up yet?

June is usually the time we get out in our yard to cultivate, plant, water trim, repair and build (if you are in the northern hemisphere perhaps). This is also a great time to do that with your business.

To get your business growth production in full bloom requires persistence, dedication and of course passion for what service(s) and or products you have. Spring time offers great analogies to get your business in tune!

• Cultivate – This is the base layer of your business. It all starts here at the foundation. Digging around your business (marketing systems), can provide great clues as to what is and what is not working for you at the current time. Your goal is to improve, enrich, enhance and develop great ‘soil’ so your business will bloom into your short and long term business goals. Don’t analyze to much, just enough to see the growth effects you are getting and change the type of ‘fertilizer’ you are using.
• Plant - Now that you have your business refined at the base, you need to plant some seeds. Heirloom seeding is great (your established business) but you can add a new business market for a fresh new look. Go on a fun-filled new business research trip. Look at different Internet or offline businesses. Should you add other income options, make sure they fit your foundation base. In other words – match the fertilizer (marketing systems) with the seed!
• Water – Give your business daily watering’s (traffic). Use exchanges, safe lists, blogs, classifieds, SEO, offline marketing and the like to show off your growing business. Simple concept here – no water, no business growth production!
• Trim – or pruning. This is what can starve your business growth development. You have to know when to let go or stop certain sucker shoots. It could be a money sucking marketing venture or a high-cost business. If your ROI is not as it should be, prune it. At least put it on hold until the time is right to resume it again. Go back to the cultivation and perhaps look at a new business market. You want your business(s) to get big and bushy, not thin and weak. Trim off the dead weight.
• Repair – Sometimes your business growth plan needs a little repair. TLC. You have great soil, fabulous seeds, you water daily and prune when necessary, but then some critter comes along during the night and tramples on your marvelous garden. Computer crash, Internet failure, people quitting and a whole host of obstacles get in your garden. That is when you may have to repair your business or even your mindset. Stay the course and like Winston Churchill said ‘never give up’! You know you have a great business growth plan so stay with it!
• Build – Building a new or solidifying a new business takes endurance, practice, learning and patience. Everyone wants their business growth production to climb like the beanstalk…in a hurry! Dangerous way to go. When you hurry to much, you miss a beam, nail or even plucking a weed, which will take over your business garden. Build a solid and sure foundation with time proven marketing tools and honest businesses. Investigate which ‘builder’ to use.

To achieve a great business garden, you have to also cultivate your mind garden. You are truly worthy of a great income. We all are. Be true to yourself and your desires.
