It’s important to state from the outset that there is no magic bullet that can transform you into a rich and successful entrepreneur or business person overnight. However, for those prepared to work hard to succeed, there is an almost formulaic blend of entrepreneurial skills that can help set successful businessmen and women apart from the rest.

Becoming successful does not just happen overnight and often it can take a life time to be truly successful. But that said also, everyone’s idea of success is different to others and personal to them. But there are I believe 5 things or tough truths if you want to become successful in this podcast.

At times we all often wonder just what we are doing wrong with our social media post. That carefully crafted piece of content that we have poured our heart and sole, spent many late nights writing and perfecting. Just to fund its reach flounders in the low single digits.

Ad new ourselves then begin to question whats wrong with the content, we are even told by platforms that the content needs to be better. But the truth is in fact that it’s the social media platform that has the power to increase or decrease the reach of your content. Its the algorithms, that determine who see’s it.

I have seen some of the worst content every go viral overnight, purely because the person has worked out how to gain the favours of the social media platforms algorithms. So grab a brew and have a quick listen to humble entrepreneurs thoughts on it.

Right we have all been guilty about worrying about putting our prices up, worried about losing customer, are we offering enough value, can people afford your product or service! But in this day and age especial with the cost of living crisis it important to make sure we are charging enough.

One of my biggest mistake was under charging for 1-2-1 buisness mentoring, but these day I understand what I bring to the table and offer and now charge a price for what I bring to the table, not what other peoples budget is!

Have a listen as we discuss the three main reason why you might be undercharging for your product or service, and once you understand this you will start to increase your cost based on your value, experience etc.

Ok so you want to sell more in your business, but have you been through the Know, Like and Trust process with your customer or contacts.

Let me put it like this to you, ask yourself would you buy from someone you don’t know, don’t like or don’t trust? I am guessing the answer is no, so why would you customers be any different? If you can increase or speed this process up it is more than likely you are going to speed up the process to your customer buying from you.

So grab a coffee and tune in for a listen as we run through 7 key factors or things you and your business can do to speed the process up and therefore reduce the time taken for your customers to make the purchase from you!

The amount of time I here this old cherry is totally unbelievable! Especially in networking circles. Or online on social which is really the same thing but just online.

Yes there will always be one story about someone that got a multimillion £££ contract, through someone that had a second cousin twice removed that worked for a high street brand. But and I say but it’s the exception not the run, and if you are basing networking one this fact you won’t get far.

“Turnover is vanity profit is sanity and cash is king!” ~ We have all heard that old chestnut, but does not mean it is not true!

When it comes to running a successful business, the most important aspect of financial management is cash flow. Whilst it may look impressive to have vast levels of revenue from sales, your primary focus should be on ensuring a regular inflow of cash. Don’t forget – even a multi million pound enterprise can still fail due to poor cash flow management.

So here we discuss just because you are increasing turnover do not always mean profit is increasing. And sometimes the increase in turn over does not always mean its worth having for a smaller increase in profits!

Consistency in your business is far more important than you can think. Being consistent allows your business to establish awareness, build trust and deliver your services efficiently and profitably. Without it, your business is more likely to fail.

Your business is a machine that runs on systems and processes.  How well your business runs depends on how consistent you are in all departments of your business. Consistency can impact on many areas of business. Maintaining a consistent level of service is essential, ensuring that clients always receive and expect high standards from us. Consistently delivering on what we say we will means that clients know what they can get from us, so we tick their boxes and keep them happy – important for building relationships.

Consistency = Results #fact.

“comparison is the thief of joy” ~ Theodore Roosevelt

You might not admit this but we are all guilty of doing it at times, for all of the many great things I have achieved in business, I still at times find myself doing the self same thing! We see one thing in a person that shows us how we would like to be, in success or in worth and make an instant assessment of comparison.

To be honest it very natural to do, but that does no mean it is helpful to do. So grab a brew and tune in for a listen, as we discuss some of the things we can do to learn to cope with comparing ourselves to others.
