^BUSINESS      

Many people are interested in starting their own business, working from home and ditching the J.O.B. Did you know that over the first five years of a new business many will either go broke or close down. The statistics are no less than staggering.

DON"T KNOW WHERE TO START?

Where can you get some help for that fantastic business idea you have in your head? What things do you need to do first BEFORE you open the doors for the first time?

WHAT BUSINESS ARE YOUR REALLY IN?

Are you really clear on what it is you are trying to achieve? Are you able to articulate that and put those ideas into practice? Most people assume they are going into business to do this or that, but what business are you really in? If you read the plethora of information on business start up you will probably find that the most important thing for your business is the customer and providing that customer with the service you want to provide is the REAL business you are entering into. That leads me to the next question….

DID YOU KNOW THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR BUSINESS IS YOUR

MARKETING AND SALES STRATEGIES?. If you can’t market your products and then sell them what then?,

ARE YOU SPENDING TIME IN YOUR BUSINESS ON THINGS THAT DON’T GIVE YOU CASHFLOW? What is the point that is at which your customer enters your business? And what sort of experience of your business do they receive?, How can you generate repeat business from your customers? Many people in business don’t realise the importance or actual cost of obtaining new clients / customers and how that affects their business. Do you know the difference between the cost of obtaining new clients as opposed to providing your existing ones with some repeat service or product and encouraging them to come back time and time again?.

DOES YOUR BUSINESS PROVIDE YOU WITH THE LIFESTYLE YOU ARE SEEKING?

WHAT IS YOUR "NEXUS POINT" ie how many tasks in your business do not bring Customers in and encourage them to stay?

IS YOUR BUSINESS SUFFERING FROM PAPER OVERLOAD? Most businesses struggle from day to day with enormous paper overload and no way to fix it. By systemising your business from day one you have a greater chance of succeeding in the long term. This is how franchises and network marketing businesses make a success of the things they do.

DO YOU HAVE SYSTEMS IN YOUR BUSINESS THAT REALLY ARE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE? Ok so you do have some systems but can you be really sure they are efficient and effective? Is not working on this part of your business costing you time and money?

ARE YOU SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME WORKING IN YOUR BUSINESS, RATHER THAN ON YOUR BUSINESS? Are you a strategic planner and thinker? Did you know that most of your effort as a business owner should be working on your business and not just doing the day to day operational stuff?
