The Growth Code® with Sian

This topic is very specific and it’s come up in conversation with a few clients so I thought I’d break it down and hopefully, by the end, you’ll be excited to write your brand bio and make it even better.

I’m broadly speaking about a “brand bio,” it’s something you’d use as an introduction, on your social media or your Linkedin headline to captivate your audience and get them to want to know you better. 

When someone lands on your LinkedIn page, your social media page and you have really leveraged your brand bio in the headline, the description and about sections I want people to feel like they have met you. They’ve gotten to know you a little bit and after they’ve experienced that “handshake” they want to go for coffee, get to know you better. 

Your bio, your introduction, should only be intended to turn your perfectly aligned clients’ heads. So let's break it down so you can make your brand bio sell yourself even better.

I was thinking the other day about the times I really messed up hiring salespeople because I wasn't ready and what expensive lessons they were!  

Does any of this sound familiar? 

You've grown your service-based business to a certain level... 

🙋‍♀️ you've reached six figures plus,

You're at the stage where you might be thinking, "if only I could hire a salesperson to bring in new clients, it would be a game-changer?" 

I've been there. The thing is, that salesperson isn't the silver bullet you think it is ⚠️

How do you know if you are *really* ready to hire a salesperson? 

If any of this sounds like déjà vu, take the next 9 minutes and avoid the same costly mistakes I've made.

I’m not going to tell you to get up at 5 am, or what morning routines will make you a billionaire, what rituals you need to fire you up. It’s far more simple than that. It’s about showing up for your business every day and making tiny incremental improvements towards your goals. Someone once told me that winning happens an inch at a time. I think building a business happens one-half hour at a time. 

I am excited about this episode because we’re talking about how to grow your business in 90 minutes or how to achieve your goals in Three Halves. And many business owners have been asking me lately, “so Sian, what do you do in those 90 minutes?” 

Great question! Let’s get stuck in.

At first a flywheel takes some energy to get spinning but then you can use leverage and figure out where the levers are so it becomes easier and easier. As your business grows it requires more and more energy but with a handle on the levers, you’ll be able to keep up the momentum effortlessly. 

The levers I’m talking about in the flywheel that is your business are the numbers. 

Every business is different and depending on your goals which are unique to you, deciding on which numbers to track is important. If I told you that in 15 minutes you could make £100,000 in your business you’d do it so what are you waiting for? Let’s dig in.
