What’s holding your business back from moving to the next level?

If you feel like you’re spinning in circles because you’re worried about declining sales, staff turnover or unhappy customers, and you’re trying to address everything at once—STOP.

You’re simply NOT going to be able to fix all these problems at the same time. Instead, you need to work out what issue to focus on first.

Many entrepreneurs believe that more sales are the answer, but this isn’t always true. In fact, increasing your sales could actually make your problems worse.

How do you work out which problem to start with?

Just like us, your business has a hierarchy of needs too. Applying the business hierarchy of needs to your business will give you a simple system to eradicate your frustrations and get your business back on track.

Fix This Next

In this interview with Mike Michalowicz, author of Profit First, Clockwork and The Pumpkin Plan, you’ll walk step by step through the five levels of your Business Hierarchy of Needs.

“The biggest challenge entrepreneurs have is knowing what their biggest challenge is.” – Mike Michalowicz

Learn how applying the levels in the hierarchy can help you identify the most imminent or vital issue that needs to be addressed first.

Recognize the 25 core needs for your business, including profitable leveraging, that will help you create stability and longevity for your business.

Discover how having every aspect of your business rely on you alone can impact your sustainability.

Do you ever feel like if you just had more marketing skills how it’d be so much easier to launch that new course?

Or, if you had better social media skills, how it’d be so much easier to make sales.

Or, if you had the right contacts, how doors would open up so much faster for you?

I get it.

The problem with this way of thinking is that it can get us stuck.

In this episode, Suzi Dafnis talks about not letting what ‘could be’ stopping us from doing the best we can what we can with what we already have.

Fear is NOT the boss of you

In this interview with Jennifer Allwood, you’ll discover how to acknowledge your feelings of fear and just do stuff anyway.

What’s one thing that people always pick your brain about?

Something that you love doing, that you’re really good at and that you just can’t stop helping others with?

This is your unique value.

It’s the gift, the talent and the knowledge that you can use to make a difference in the lives of others. And, you can turn it into a business that makes money without needing to be pushy or salesy.

For so many women, the thought of pursuing sales can be so overwhelming that they don’t make that leap. You don’t ask for the sale, or you bungle the opportunity sometimes undervaluing what you do, or not making a compelling offer.

But instead of pursuing sales, what if I told you that you could invite pursuit?

You can package up your expertise, the thing you’re really known for, and turn it into a profitable business that you love.

Listen to this episode to hear Lisa talk about:

  • Making your offer irresistible
  • The formula for getting past perfection
  • Two simple exercises for uncovering your “Million-Dollar Value”
  • How living an inspired life can accelerate your growth
  • Why organised knowledge is critical to scaling your business
  • Why making peace with sales and learning to invite pursuit is how you can get more out into the world in a much bigger way

Right now, many business owners are experiencing upheaval in their business.

And something interesting is happening to every single one of us.

And, that is that the chinks in our armour are showing.

These chinks don’t matter too much when times are good.

When the money is flowing.

When customers are plentiful.

When the sun is shining on our business.

But, when the economy gets turned around.

Or what used to work no longer works.

Perhaps we are forced to close the doors on our store.

Or we are forced to cancel that live event.

Or to stop treating clients face to face.

Or to look for new revenue streams.

The chinks become gaping holes that leave us feeling very vulnerable.

Our Achilles heel becomes exposed.

Many business owners who were working from home anyhow, now have the added pressure of not having access to their usual services, or they have kids at home that require homeschooling, partners at home that are also trying to work.
The chinks can feel really big - like craters.

In this episode, Suzi Dafnis looks at the chinks that are showing up most commonly and how to take actions towards repairing them and creating new possibilities for you and your business even if right now the future seems unclear.
