The 4 Business Things
- Dream Big and Plan Big to 100x Your Future Work/Life Goals.
This is about getting good at stretching your perception of what's possible. Setting a vision and plan around what you want out of work and life, and then calculating the cost of getting there in terms of time, energy, focus, and money.
You see, everything is possible for those who believe AND accompany their faith with true vision and diligence. This is the action that follows faith. No written plan, no vision.
You have to develop the ability to set work/life vision and goals around what you want out of life, without knowing for sure how you will get there. The knowing part always follows the learning-how part.
Most people struggling with this concept. They limit what's possible to their past limited experiences. In fact, they dream about one inch from their circumstances. - Bulletproof Your Business Model and Brand.
To develop a powerful business model and brand, you'll need a vetting system to bulletproof both. Only build what will achieve your work/life dreams and goals. Get good at vetting your model and brand, and everything you touch will profit.
Incidentally, about 50 percent of business failure has to do with not having the right business model, brand, and product/market fit. - Develop a Digital Footprint and Ecosystem.
Your future customers will most likely discover you online. So you'll have to get really good at building awareness, influence, and education, all online. 80 percent of the buyer journey occurs online.
So, getting really good at developing a digital ecosystem that will create and nurture prospects organically, around their preferred buyer journey, do this and you'll win big every time. - Create a Marketing and Sales Strategy
And finally, you'll have to get really good at connecting the pieces of the puzzle to develop a robust customer acquisition system, a formula capable of producing scalable and predictable revenue to accomplish your growth goals.
This is the execution of the business model. It's what produces new customers and revenue ... the money!
Get good at these 4 business things, and you've now built the business foundation for success.
