Business
A lot of people think being an entrepreneur is great because we can work with any client we want and we can work any hours we like. Well, this is partly true. I am sure you understand what I mean. For me, I actually work longer hours than I ever did when I worked for someone else and the money take home is often not much better when I first started. I think you might be the same. After all, you’re looking for freedom, money and independence but now you just feel stuck. I’ve been there. In some days, I just wanted to give up. I don’t want this for you, so today I’m going to show you how business systems can help you in your business.Remember, you have to work ON your business, not IN your business. You can do this by automating, delegating, and systemising to gain leverage that is the key to creating and scaling your business. Especially when you’re just starting out, you want to start off on the right foot.The biggest tip I can give you is to have your end goal in mind. What do you want to achieve at the end? Then you’d need a marketing system.Why some service providers get a constant flow of leads and prospects coming in, but some don’t? Being CONSISTENT is key. I can’t stress this enough. They bring in new leads, follow up, nurtures their leads and turn them into raving fans. Many service providers, on the other hand, are doing things randomly. They switch from one social platform to another, throw up an ad here and there. For example, if you are a blogger and used to blog, stick with it. Don’t try to jump on the podcast all of a sudden. Remember, it takes time to build your brand and grow your audience. If you ask me what is the first ‘system’ you need in your business? I would say build your email list first. I am talking about quality, not quantity. Building an engaging email list is way more important than building a huge list but the subscribers aren’t active at all. So have you got an engaging email list? Do you have a decent size of email list? Have you been thinking to grow your email list this year? Probably this is one of the items on your to-do list. Don’t wait any longer. Come up with an irresistible lead magnet to attract your target audience, so they will jump on and join your email list. Start building your email list today.
