If you were planning a cross country road trip from Florida to California, you wouldn’t try to drive that entire trip all alone in one day, would you? No! It’s not physically possible to do that, right? When you are driving cross country, you have to break the trip down into smaller increments and plan stopping points and rest along the way.

Your biz growth strategy is the same as a cross country road trip. You need to have a destination in mind and then break it down into smaller steps to get you there. And you need to be realistic about it.  Just like you wouldn’t get from Florida to California in one day, you can’t get from $50k to $250k in a couple months. Let’s talk about how you can approach your growth strategy and goals the same way you would map out a cross country trip.

Have you ever found yourself talking with a prospective client and the whole conversation seems to be around why they need to work with someone in your industry? If you answered “yes” to this, it’s time to flip your script. As you go into the new year, there is a phrase that I would encourage you to take with you. That phrase is “You are not in the business of convincing.”
