I love diving into mindset. This is where scaling your business begins. Your mindset sets the tone of your day and your business. Your teams pick up on your mindset. It is contagious. It’s important to be aware of what’s happening between the ears!
Below are five mindset tips that will keep you on track to scaling your business easily and effortlessly.
- Keep
it simple. Sometimes we tend to over complicate things. This applies
to product and services launches, to creating a workflow. What I’ve learned is
that I can simplify a process when I know it inside and out. It makes it easier
for my virtual assistant to help me and I am able to easily communicate my
services to my customers. As businesses
grow and scale, the major factor that slows progress is the creeping effect of
complexity.
- Focus
on delighting your existing customers. When you delight your customers and they share that
delight, your business will grow. This means anticipating their needs. They can become an extension of your sales
team.
- Stay connected
to the business. You cannot do it all and be successful. Hire
people smarter than you is key. However,
that doesn’t mean you step back and tune out. You have to continue to be
engaged in the business. Be aware of
your environment. When you do, you’ll be able to anticipate and quickly adjust
your business to meet your customer’s needs.
- Be
patient. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Many of us are in a hurry to
scale the business and we tend to cut corners. Don’t do it. Allow the business
to unfold on its own terms. When you take shortcuts, you make compromises. You compromise your ethics, your
values, and the integrity of your business — often at the expense of the
customer and your employees. In his book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, entrepreneur and career analyst Dan Pink puts
shortcuts into perspective, explaining how focusing too heavily on your end
goal of scaling your business can impact your business.
- Effectively manage your time and priorities. Being able to scale your business and meet growth goals requires it. Look at the picture daily. Accomplish the three most important tasks that will move your business forward.
