The Business Bloke

Inviting your customers into your story, rather than talking about your product, will result in more sales and less stress.

We do this by using the principals of Hollywood movie writers to create a movie like story that your leads want to be a part of.

What is your favourite move, and how does this resonate?

· A character - your customer

· Has a problem

· And meets a guide

· Who gives them a plan

· And calls them to action.

· That ends in success.

· That helps them avoid failure

· That transforms them from where they are, to where they want to be

Growing a business can be hard and overwhelming.

One strategy I have used to beat the overwhelm is to break business into 6 strategic parts.

1. Leadership

2. Marketing

3. Sales

4. Products

5. Overheads

6. Cashflow

Niching into one or two of these areas at one time, rather than trying to take them all on at once, will help you simplify your business, and relieve the stress.

In the next six episodes, I will do a shallow dive into each of the six strategies to give you some ideas as to how this can help you with your business.
