Business Coaching for Success

It is so easy to take your eye off the ball, especially at this time of year. You know how it is, things are going really well, business is coming in, and at times you can barely keep up with it. So this is the time to keep things going, certainly not the time to ease up.

I was recently speaking to one of my clients who is in a classic feast/famine cycle. Because he is still largely the man who “does it all”, he doesn’t have time to continue with his marketing and making sales visits when he has lots of business and orders to provide and service. Typically, of course, this will in time lead to a quiet period because once he has dealt with all his orders, he then finds there is nothing new coming in, and it takes a month or two to generate new clients.

So how do you avoid this, especially when you are a one man band? Well first, I would suggest you need to employ someone. It doesn’t have to cost much in wages, as even a few hours a week can take away all the admin and processing of orders, and can free up sufficient time for you to keep business coming in. Setting up systems and planning ahead are also essential to keeping on top of things, but above all don’t allow yourself excuses, and let yourself ease up, because this is bound to lead to problems in the long run.

However, if you have trouble keeping yourself accountable, find someone who will do it for you. You may find it a little uncomfortable, but surely the benefits you reap through the added business is going to be worth it. And if you don’t know who to ask, give me a call, I will be happy to help.
