10 Areas to Focus on Right Now To See Massive Growth in Your Business! By Shaun Buck, CEO of Newsletter Pro Over the last number of weeks, I’ve been looking at all areas of my business and reevaluating them. I’ve asked myself what I like about my business and what I don’t like, and I’ve been working hard to change and/or remove the areas of my business I don’t like. So many business- es are in a state of change right now. You may have already stumbled upon this, but if you’re being forced to change, then why not also re- evaluate the areas of your business you wish were different? Why only look at the areas of change that you’re being forced to look at?
Not all of these are created equally, and not all apply to every business. The question is this: Which of these makes sense for you and your industry? The an- swer will be different for everyone, but let me touch on just a few. 10: Be careful when thinking of new products and services, as this can be a kind of shiny object to us entrepreneurs. There is a reason I put this one last; I didn’t want anyone to get stuck on this one and not get through the whole list. 1–3: These are my favorites. When answered truthfully, they can have major impacts on prof- itability and your overall happi- ness in your business, which is important, especially since busi- ness valuations for most compa- nies are depressed right now. 6: This is an area I’ve spoken about a few times, but it could be difficult to make tons of improve- ment on it at this particular mo- ment. Recently, I’ve found myself having to do work in areas I hav- en’t had to think about in years. This would be a negative to most, and honestly, some of the work was less than pleasant. However, it has allowed me to see other opportunities in the business that I may have missed had I not gone
Here are 10 good questions to ask yourself to help find some of the opportunities in your business.
1. Why do we do things this way? 2. Which areas of my business have I always wished were different? 3. Can I simplify my products or services? 4. Where can I get leverage? 5. Are there opportunities to make investments in my business and get huge returns? 6. What stuff don’t I (the entrepreneur) want to do anymore? 7. Are there opportunities for partnerships or growth that weren’t available previously? 8. What major accounts I’ve always wanted to land are finally in play? 9. What talent may be in the market that I can get access to or hire? 10. Are there new products or services I should be considering?
