Proven upselling techniques YOU shouldn't miss!
What a finish to #SB46!
I understand your challenge as a business owner to BE the entrepreneur in your business. But, your challenges are not going to end, until you end it.
How many times in your business have you started taking steps to improve and position your business for the way you want it to look in the future that you pulled back because you told yourself lies like “Nobody does it better than me” or “If I want something done right, better do it myself or “You just can't hire good help”?
The truth is that if you are going to grow your business, you can’t just focus on your business during the off season, slow times, bad times, etc. And you can’t allow yourself to be swept up in a run of "good times" when the business isn't fundamentally any healthier or more stable or mature. If you don't take the time to work ON your business and BE the entrepreneur, then who exactly is going to do that?
What’s going to happen to all the momentum on the projects you set in motion? Putting systems in place for your people, getting your website improved, improving your sales team, developing your tactical marketing plan, improving your employee acquisition program, developing your leadership team, rewarding employee performance, etc.
When things slow down, you will be where you’ve always been. Quitting is not a good option. You need to figure out a way to work on fewer and more focused activities that will remove you from lower value activities ... or you will be forever stuck.
Pick one area as it relates to alleviating pressure on you operationally and focus on that. What do you do in the business that could be automated, outsourced, or delegated (not abdicated) to buy you some more time to BE the entrepreneur and not just the technician?
Perhaps you need to work on how to recruit and train people effectively if you are going to free yourself. Developing a system that you can put in place for training people might be the answer here.
Shutting down for a few months at a time to go to work "IN" the business may seem like a good idea when you're making money and too busy to step back to work "ON" the business ... but you know that all of the progress you started making towards getting your business set-up properly will be lost. You will not hold your ground ... you will fall right back into the habits that were holding you back.
You may use excuses like "I don't have time" or "I don't have the money" or "I my business isn't large enough" or "I don't have a staff to delegate to" ... So what's the difference between you and more successful companies? They build systems, invest in people, and focus on doing what they are supposed to do (BE the entrepreneur and leader), so that the organization can focus on what it is supposed to do (sell, service, and drive profits).
Robert Kiyosaki says, "Business and investing are a team sport" and "if you are the smartest guy on your team ... then your team is in trouble". Bottom line, don't try to cover every position on the field otherwise you'll get in trouble. Football requires a full team and so does business.
Don’t temporarily abandon your responsibilities as the entrepreneur/leader. No one else can fill those shoes for you. Find the time or a way to work on your business. A business coach can help you by pushing you to change from your stuck patterns of behavior and thinking to BE the entrepreneur. If you don't get some momentum going, and keep it going, then nothing will change.
For your business to change, you must change!
