The Ultimate Small Business Breakthrough Strategy

   

Author: Mike Kramer

Have you ever wondered why its so hard to breakthrough from one level of success to the next? Your business grows to a point and then stops dead in its tracks. Every move forward is met by a setback. Its beyond frustrating.

Your first thought is to beef-up your companys marketing efforts. You hire outside consultants. You build a new website. You invest in expensive brochures. You spend a fortune of money and still you cant breakthrough.

Your expensive consultants shrug their shoulders and move on to their next victim. Meanwhile, you pay their bills and wonder what went wrong.

Its as if an invisible force-field is holding your company back.

What can that force-field be?

The answer is simple, and effects every business regardless of industry, size or stage of development:

Business growth is self limiting and, the limiting factor is your time.

You cant breakthrough because you have run out of time.

Think about your companys last significant growth spurt. To take advantage of that growth, you needed to coordinate all the moving parts of your business. You needed to sell your prospective customers, take orders, answer their questions and correct problems.

As you work with new customers, what happens to your older relationships? Well, youre only human, and you only have so much time. Odds are, you banked on the loyalty of established relationships, and freed up time at your older customers expense -- to nurture your new relationships.

For the most part, your strategy works because your customers love you. However, you upset just enough older relationships to offset your new business growth. On top of that, you may experience normal attrition a customer might move, go out of business or merge with a different organization. In the end, you may experience a net sales loss.

Your circumstances may be a little different but the results are the same. Youre stuck in neutral. No matter how hard you gun your marketing engine no matter how hard you work you are going nowhere.

Now, at least you can understand why because business growth is self limiting. Youre working so hard in your business that you dont have the time you need to work on your business.

Whats the solution? How can you free up your time so you can breakthrough to unlimited success?

The answer is simple: You need to build a solid business foundation that allows you to responsibly delegate your work to an empowered team.

The key phrase is responsibly delegate. Sure you can hire employees and fob your work off on them, but this will only provide a temporary fix. In the long run, this strategy makes you too dependent on employees who can quit with a moments notice.

Think about the key employees you rely on, right now, in your business. What kind of stress would you experience if just one key member of your company suddenly quit or had an unexpected leave of absence? Now multiply your aggravation and imagine if two key employees quit at the same time.

Can you see how dangerous it is to become too dependent on employees?

A permanent solution is to build a solid business foundation that standardizes your companys day-to-day operations including an effective leadership routine. Your objective is to make yourself irrelevant to day-to-day operations and to make your employees plug-and-play.

Imagine the benefits of transforming your company into a business that runs itself:

* Your stress levels will melt away.

* Your business can grow quickly withoutlosing older customers.

* The value of your business skyrockets because prospective buyers are attracted to growing companys that are easy to manage.

* You can take a long vacation without worry.

* You improve customer service, innovation, productivity, employee morale, etc.

Creating a solid business foundation is a prerequisite to achieving your companys breakthrough to unlimited growth and success.
