What comes after start
up – GROWTH.

When you start out you have
no place to go but up. But
when you’ve already made the
climb of start-up you may be
tired or burnt out.

The problem is, this is the
part where you need the
most energy and SMARTS!
It’s time to work smart!

In the beginning you have
to work long hours, if you
did the math probably for
less money than when you
had a REAL job.

You even be
wondering, “What was I
thinking?”

You may feel like you’re
treading water and going
nowhere.

Perhaps you think it’s
just not worth it?

No, I’m not a mind
reader. I’ve been there.

Truth be known just
about every
entrepreneur has, its just
part of the climb.

To really grow in your
business and go forward
you have to work smart
and not hard.

You’ll need to design
systems in your business
that helps you to get the
work done faster.

If we don’t have a system to
the madness we work long
hours aimlessly and have
nothing to show for it.

If you aren’t careful you’ll
be sucked into a place
where nothing ever
changes – everything will
stay in the same place.

You only have so many hours in
the day. Time is the one thing
you’ll NEVER get enough of so
you have to learn how to
leverage what you have.

So many entrepreneurs just
end up throwing in the
towel because they can’t
get past the growth part.

Let’s talk about what to do.

To Grow Your Business
Make Investments, Stop
Thinking Small

If you automate, delegate and
systematize in your business
you’ll gain leverage. The key
is scaling your business for
growth.

The first step is a shift in
mindset. You’ll have to make
decisions that may be a little
scary but necessary for
growth.

Thinking small in your
business creates small
profits.

You’ll need to develop a
mindset that understands that
to grow your business you’ll
need to actually make
investments in it.

You’ll need to make
investments in great tools that
make you more efficient and
perhaps even invest in people.

The right people can
duplicate your efforts and
get you to your goals
faster.

Here are five great
systems to get you
started.

System 1 - Business
Development

What’s your business
development process? If
you’re not focused on this and
spend most of your time on
busy work your revenue will
never grow.

Develop a system of creating
business. The amount of time
you spend developing
business should equal the
amount of business you need.

Or are you putting all your
eggs in just a few baskets?
What happens if one of those
baskets goes away?

System 2 - Growing and
Leveraging Your List

How are you leveraging the
customers you already have?
How are you growing your
list? How often do you reach
out to that list?

System 3 – Deliverables

Once you get that client what
happens? How’s your process
of managing the client? Does
it work well? Is it clunky?

If you don’t manage your
clients well – you won’t be
able to have many and the
ones you do have will end up
leaving you.

Design a flawless system
when it comes to servicing a
client. Make sure you touch all
bases. Include cross selling in
your process!

You’re existing clients need to
know EVERYTHING you do or
offer! Not adding cross selling
to your process leaves
revenue on the table.

System 4 – Accounting
Systems

You should be tracking every
dime that comes into your
business and every dime that
goes out. Every month know
exactly how much you profited.

System 5 – Invest in
People

Yes it’s scary but how long will
this take if you’re going it alone?
Invest in people that can show
you the way faster than you can
do it on your own!

It’s time to create some
systems! It can be a painful
process but delaying it –
delays growth.
