7 tips to grow your business starting today that all work . . .

When it comes to growing your business, there are so many dials you can twist and levers you can pull that there isn’t one way that works for everyone.

Which is why I thought it might be fun to give you 7 tips to grow your business starting today that all work.

Now my advice is not to focus on all 7 right now.

Instead, choose just 1 or 2 and implement them THIS WEEK.

Don’t write them down in your to-do list and let it get lost.

Get some inspiration—and do it ideally today.

All right, lets begin, here goes:

1. Get to know your prospects – I think one thing that holds people back is they don’t really understand who they’re trying to land as clients. What are their fears, their desires, their secret dreams? What keeps them up at night? What do they expect to happen in the next 5 years? The more you know about your prospects, the easier it is to give them what they want and get paid for it.

2. It always pays to network – If it wasn’t for meeting other business owners, who knows where we’d be today. For a lot of us, networking is uncomfortable and boring. But it really pays and it’s something you can put into place starting today.

3. Upsell past and existing clients – If there is one thing you choose to do on this list today, make it this one. Send an email to all your past and existing clients and check in on them, then if it makes sense, make them an offer. Don’t just “sell” them. First check in with some value and then connect that to something that you can help them with.

4. Don’t neglect your current network – This is another low-hanging fruit thing. Simply reach out to everyone you know who has a business or may know a business owner and let them know you hung out your shingle and are looking for clients. It’s not a guaranteed way to get a client. But you may be surprised who comes knocking when you do this.

5. SEO isn’t just for your clients – One of the most valuable long-term things you can do is rank your website for valuable terms. This has brought me in so many good clients over the years. I’d have to sit down and calculate the revenue.

6. Build your business around your life – Not the other way around. That’s the trouble with so many gurus and methods out there. They expect you to fit your life into the business model. We take the opposite approach and think you should choose what sort of life you want then build your business to fit that.

7. Don’t be afraid of asking for help – Last but certainly not least, is asking for help. This is by far one of the fastest ways to grow and overcome roadblocks. Because if you’re struggling with something right now, it’s almost a guarantee someone else has struggled from the same thing and figured out how to overcome it. And they can help you do the same.

There you go – 7 tips to grow your business!
