A Few Ways to Grow Your Business (Part 2)

Ask yourself why you started this business and not another business. What purpose are

you serving? What gets you lit? If you know your “why,” it will resonate with your clients.

This year (2024) is nearly over, you may have to reset your revenue goal if you’re off

track. If you’re ahead of your projections, stay the course, the trend is your friend.

On the other hand, if your business is on life support, take action and adjust where necessary. To get the heart of your business beating again (meaning you can survive without perpetual panic), recalculate how much revenue do you need to generate? Don’t put yourself last on the list. Start by figuring out what you personally need to be comfortable, to know that you’re back on your feet. Then figure out how much revenue your company needs to make to actually support that. Remember, we just want to hear that beep, beep, beep on the heart monitor again. Later, you can adjust your revenue goal to include all your aspirations (send kids to college, see the world…and buy Twinkies whenever you darn well, please).
