Business success in a blink
Today we are all as busy as we have ever been.
There seems to be so much call on our time… so much to do.
And not enough time to get it all done.
As business owners, we all want to grow our business, to increase our income.
This means that we must fit in important tasks, to work ON our business rather than IN it.
The discipline of working ON your business is not an easy one, but it has to be mastered if you are going to achieve the greater business success you want.
You may think that you need hours or even days to achieve anything significant.
This is simply not true when you follow the methods we use in the Profit Propeller Program.
We understand how busy business owners are.
It is hard it is to carve out quality time to work ON improving your business.
I have therefore developed the Profit Propeller blink process, where we start building business success in 10-minute sessions.
If you think that you will never achieve anything meaningful in 10 minutes, think again.
With focus you can achieve a lot in a 10-minute segment.
Yes, it will also take practice.
Here are some keys to making 10 minutes work
- You must be focused
- Turn off or remove all distractions.
- You must have a goal.
- You must do it on paper.
- You must do to a timer.
- You must schedule the time in.
- You must continue the same project in 10-minute chunks until it is all done.
So what projects could you begin to work on in 10 minutes?
Here are some project ideas to get you started…you only need to pick one to start.
Marketing.
You can construct a new webpage describing a specific service or product you offer.
You can write a blog post (this one took me 2 x 10-minute sessions).
You can record a quick video promoting a product.
You could brainstorm some ideas for new ads for Facebook or Google adwords.
Create new offers.
Remember, the more offers you make, the higher your income will be.
They do not have to be discount offers.
Offers create interest from prospects
It re-engages existing clients and customers.
Offers affect one of the critical seven numbers in every business, the lifetime value.
This is one of our critical focuses in the Profit Propeller Program, because it is so powerful.
Your product or service offerings.
Think of new products you could offer your existing market and existing customers.
Consider which of your new or existing products or services are underperforming,
Which should be adjusted or eliminated.
Brainstorm how you could package different elements into existing services or products to make them more valuable, and more sellable.
Systems.
Systems are a personal favourite,
They are one of the keys of the Profit Propeller Program also.
You could develop:
- A new system for acquiring referrals.
- A new system for getting more testimonials.
- A new or better system for delivering excellent service.
- A system which will reduce the friction in one area of your business.
Your social media activity.
- Review your engagement.
- Find new ways of increasing engagement on your social media platforms.
- Review new social media platforms which may work better with your market.
- Review new social media platforms which may work better with your product.
- Consider ways of keeping your social media content fresh.
- Make sure you are engaging with everyone who is responding to your social media posts.
Conclusion
The benefit of working ON your business in 10-minute chunks should become clear to see.
It removes the barrier of having “no time” to develop and improve your business and its profitability.
Process > Progress > Business Growth
You will become aware that it is a process that achieves progress, which ends up with business growth.
The ideas above will help you quickly get started whenever you can lock in a 10-minute session.
- It is important to build your focus muscle slowly.
- Do not work in sessions of over 50 minutes.
- Longer sessions are almost always counter-productive. Science has shown us that we can only fully concentrate in a maximum of 50-minute bursts, unless we are a complete rock star on the subject.
Building a business is hard.
There, I said it!
These 10-minute sessions make it a little easier.
