Business Success: What To Do When Your Plan Is Working

As you grow more and more, you will find that success is actually attainable. What you desire to achieve is achievable.  You actually had some success. Your idea worked. Your efforts paid off.

The problem is that you are tempted to judge your results. You are looking at the numbers too early.

Don't make that mistake of judging too prematurely. Results are results. You are doing the right thing. Just not enough of it.

Or you are not ready to handle the details and responsibilities of success. When you are successful, you usually have to do more work, help more people, be more available than before.

Every move you make, you are judged by someone in your business. So make sure that you are ready for success.

You might feel like you are ready for a lot of volume. But do you have the systems and people in place to handle it?

So here three quick tips to help in business success:

1. Have Systems In Place.

A lot of people see the outward manifestation of success. They know how much the guru is making, However, they have know idea how many hours they have to put in to get the work done. They don't know how much money they spent on training or paying employees or outsourcing work to independent contractors.

You see, before your plan starts really working well you will have to fix all the kinks. That means there are going to be issues that you will need to work out.

Every time you find yourself doing a task, just number your paper and write down all of the things that you are doing. Write each step out in order. Then put all of these papers in a folder titled "TO BE TYPED."

2. Have People In Place. 

People shorten the time that it takes to get a result. After you train them, they can be very efficient. When you have a system already prepared, it is much easier to explain it all once and then give them the checklist as a reference. The checklist can also serve as a way to keep them on track and organized.

Money trade of workers--I couldn't understand this until recently. But when you know how much your time is worth, it is much easier to see the value in having someone else doing the work for you. For example, if you make $100,000 a year (or want to) then you are worth $50 an hour. If you give someone a job that directly contribute to you getting the same customer but for less but paid them $10-15 per hour then you would saving $35-40 in your time letting them do all of the work. For best results, give them tasks related to getting more business.


3. Focus on The Numbers

Once you find a formula, focus on the numbers. The numbers calls, appointments, leads, conversion rates, etc.

Never let go of the lifeblood of your business, which is leads. He who generates the most leads wins, right? No. He who generates the most leads and have the people and systems in place to convert them into cash wins.

Congratulations on your success. Sustain your momentum and keep up the good work. The hard part is done. Just package it and go.
