6 Powerhouse Strategies to Elevate your Business Growth in 2024

2️⃣ Getting help to work on mindset

I am a huge believer that we are all capable of anything we put our minds to. Although, most of us are unaware of blockages that are preventing us from achieving everything we want. These could be money blocks, visibility blocks or fear of failure among many others. I personally am aware of of several blocks that prevent me from growing my business in my current mindset. With this in mind (excuse the pun), I have arranged to work with a coach this year to break through these blocks. If I can grow personally and change my mindset on these blocks, I will move to the next level of business growth. I recommend any business owner to find a coach to help you through your blocks to get to the next level and/or achieve those big goals.

3️⃣ Formulating strategy, including annual plan and from there quarterly plans

Winging it is not a strategy – and too many of us wing it in our business everyday. We hope to achieve vague goals with vague strategy. Consequently, we don’t get the results we want. But if we work on developing an intentional strategy and, from that, formulate an annual plan including goals and break that down to achievable quarterly plans, we grow our businesses by default.

That is why I have formulated my strategy for this year, created my annual plan and am currently working on my 90 day plan. Breaking down my goals like this make them feel more achievable and give better focus to how to my projects.

4️⃣ Acting consistently on the plan

This deserves it’s own point as creating strategy, goals and plans is all very well but acting consistently is key. Breaking down the plans into baby steps and committing to complete a baby step each day/week/month will eventually lead to achieving big goals.

Also being accountable to someone for achieving your goals is key. If you commit to something and tell somebody, you are more likely to complete action. I have joined an online membership to help keep me accountable for my actions in my business in 2024 but I also have a lovely friend in business and we try to keep each other accountable too.

5️⃣ Consistently measuring and reviewing metrics

We do all this work promoting ourselves and our products, spending hours on social media, sending emails, networking etc but how many of us actually review the success of these activities? Reviewing which metrics are valuable to us and measuring and reviewing these metrics regularly helps us to ensure our strategy and planning (see point 3) is working. If we don’t measure and review, we could waste a lot of valuable time on the wrong strategy.

6️⃣ Reviewing the client journey and improving this monthly

We are so busy with ‘things’ in our business, sometimes we forget the real reason we are in business – to help our clients/customers achieve what they want with what we offer. Or maybe we are so firmly focused on the service we offer, we forget that there are actually more elements to the client journey than just providing the service. Sometimes the remainder of the client journey can be ad hoc at best. I firmly believe that if you have a purposely created client journey that focuses on removing friction and improving the experience for your clients as they progress through your business, you will have a competitive advantage that will have clients singing your praises. And who doesn’t want great word of mouth promotion?

So why not jump on board with me as I implement these strategies throughout 2024?  I’ll update my progress on my social media so if you want to see how I am getting on, come and follow me on LinkedIn and Instagram below.
