Focus on innovation:
No matter which field you are in, competition is a given. Hence, while you may have defined your USP today, your services need to keep pace with changing times and evolve. Thus, the need to constantly innovate, explore new ideas and initiatives and if you are into products, invest in R&D. Find ways to do things better, faster, or more cost-effectively.
Know your employees, be vary of your competitors:
“You are only as good as your Team” – is a famous adage but not without its merit. Your employees run your business, which increases as the business grows.
In a nutshell, the performance of your Team determines business Growth. Hence, every entrepreneur should work at creating high performing teams.
Employees who are engaged and take ownership to drive the business to new heights are the ones you want onboard.
Motivated employees with a shared sense of purpose result from focused team-building and nurturing initiatives. Invest in your employees. Create opportunities to learn and grow. Listen to them. Praise in public and share feedback privately. Build-in award and recognition across the organization and save it only for the sales function. Define KRAs and associated measurables. Make performance evaluations bias-free and transparent. Empower your employees to take decisions but ensure a well-defined SoP that outlines the area of power. Managers need to be trained to be leaders. They need to show the path by walking the talk, to learn to transition from mentor to coach as per the situation’s demand.
Know your competition, keep a close watch on developments at their end. Build progressive relationships that open doors for knowledge sharing and learning.
Business success is a mindset, not a skill set. Businesses that have been successful over time are run by people who have learned to think about business success, growth, and prosperity. If you want to be successful at business, you need to know how to create the right mindset for your business.
What is the mindset of the future? It’s the projection of the future based on past experience or the belief that our services will stay as relevant tomorrow as they are today. It’s a perspective that allows you to see beyond your current situation and plan for what could be. To have this type of mindset, you need to believe in yourself and your ability to create success. You also need to think long-term and have a vision for where you want your business to go.
Evaluate What Drives You
Research by Joe Dispenza in the book “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself” shows that values and beliefs drive 95% of one’s actions, and interestingly we do it by reflex post the age of 35. It’s like being on autopilot.
To create a mindset for business success, one needs to first and foremost evaluate what drives you? Are the driving triggers the same as when you ventured out, or have they changed? The answer to this is critical to your business’s path in the future. Put the right motivation triggers in place to keep you sprinting to success.
SMART Goal Setting and Plans
For any journey, milestones are a must to keep on course. Before starting a journey, one needs to know the destination, which is what goal setting does. We may not know all the elements required or what it would take to reach the goal; milestones come in place. Plans to reach those milestones need to be articulated and the same. As things start falling in place, the milestones and plans like a living document evolve. Regular check-in, progress evaluations and adjustments where necessary keep all on track.
Best results are seen when personal values align with the company’s values and goals. It makes for a more enjoyable & successful journey.
