You’ve recently started your own business and it’s been growing steadily. You’re happy with the progress but perhaps it has started to plateau and you’ve hit a wall. If this sounds like you then we're here to tell you that you’re not alone. Many new businesses face changes and have their highs and lows, so here are some practical tips to help you get back on track and make sure you keep your business growing.
- Go back to the basics
When you first started to think about your business, you would have set some goals about what you would like to achieve and the dreams you had for your business. With anyone starting a new business, the first few months can be chaotic, but setting yourself some time each week to re-visit your goals can keep you reconnect with your WHY. Apply In Tune Roll On® Focus Blend on your temples and the back of your neck to help you stay focused and spark ideas of how you can achieve these goals.
- Understand your customers
Knowing your customers is key! If you know what they want and what they are looking for, you are more likely to relate to them. You can release a survey asking for feedback about what your customers think about your products, what their likes and dislikes are and what changes or improvements they would like to see. All this information is valuable and can give you a better understanding of how you can market your business therefore leading to business growth.
- Think outside the box
If you have continued to do the same thing day in day out and are not seeing any results it may be time for a change. You need to find what sets your business apart from your competitors. Think about what your customers want, what your competitors do and then do it better. Once you start implementing new strategies, you can sit back and watch your business grow. Apply doTERRA Touch Passion® Inspiring Blend to your pulse points and heart throughout the day to feel inspired and passionate about new ideas.
- Take a step back
Have you been working on your goals continuously, trying to achieve them and not getting anywhere? Then it might be a good idea to take a step back from what you are doing and look at it from a different perspective. Use your family, friends or colleagues as a sounding board to bounce ideas off about how to achieve these goals. When you remove yourself from the situation, you might be able to see things more clearly and be more productive in helping grow your business.
Growing a business takes time, especially if you’re new to it, but these practical tips can help you get back on track and help you keep your business growing.
