Savvy Boomer - 7 Questions That Can Save Your Business
If you're not experiencing the results you desire in your business it' time to take stock of what is happening. Take charge of what you're doing right and what you can improve. Start by asking yourself the following 7 questions.
1. Do you know your niche?
Ensuring that you've laser focused your niche down to the nitty-gritty is imperative to make it in your business. Knowing your niche assists you with all aspects of your business from start to finish including:
o Identifying your target market
o Creating products and services that your market wants
o Developing content for your blog, your website, and articles
o Creating copy that encourages purchases
2. How are you spending your time?
Make sure that you are spending your time doing money making tasks instead of spending your time doing administrative tasks that aren't earning money. Make sure that you avoid time suckers and manage your time well.
3. Are you asking for help?
I know you want to, but you can't do everything. You need to be asking for help from family as well as from others who can support you in your business such as Virtual Assistants, Bookkeepers, Writers and those who can take time wasters and non money making tasks off your plate.
4. Are you creating a list?
By focusing on creating a large list of targeted individuals you will ensure a bright future financially. Technology has improved over the years and you can create very focused lists that segment your market appropriately so that your marketing efforts to your list can be very focused and accurate. There is gold in your list, build it.
5. Are you connecting with your list?
Once you have the first sign up to your list you need to ensure that you connect to your list on a regular basis. Do not just build the list and let them forget about you because people will forget that they signed up and think that you are sending them spam. Connect at the minimum of once a week. Setting up an autoresponder specific to when and where and how your clients and potential clients signed up to your list will do wonders for your bottom line.
6. Are you creating products and services that your clients and customers want?
Not sure? Ask them! Ask your clients what they want and they'll be happy to tell you. If you've studied your market and know your niche well you will know what they want. If you're not creating products that they want, try to focus your efforts on specific products that your market needs within your niche.
7. Are you living in gratitude?
Take time out every single day to give thanks for what you have and what you may have in the future. Living a life full of gratitude sometimes takes work, it takes focusing on the positive aspects of life instead of the negative. By teaching your mind and heart to focus on the positive you will truly have an abundant life.
