What a fabulous week at the Periscope Summit. Because of this incredible technology, I was able to participate and feel part of the Summit, although I’m in the opposite corner of the world.
So if you
did not set your intentions on how you are going to achieve your goals in 2016
there is now a sense of urgency to put your strategies into operation. The year
is already running fast.
Are You Ready? Filled with
that dynamite excitement and energy that
you had at the Summit, Let’s Do It Now!
Here are a
few strategies that you may like to use to get your business fired up and on
track.
1. S.W.O.T. analysis.
This is not new but a very useful tool. It stands for STRENGTHS,
WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES and THREATS.
Take time out to stop and examine your business.
Ask yourself some questions. Where is your business NOW?
What are your personal strengths that you bring to your business?
What are your weaknesses and where do you need to improve?
Look at your team and examine the same issues.
What opportunities are waiting out there for you?
Be aware of any threats that could damage your business.
Examine any analytics that may be available to you. What are they telling
you?
2. Do a Reality Check on your team.
Where are they in their businesses?
Who needs help and what kind of help can you give them?
DIG DOWN into your team, not only your personal recruits.
Look for those members who may have special skills that could be utilised
and shared with the rest of the team.
3. How and where are you going to grow
your business?
Look for diversification. What opportunities are there in other countries?
What is not working properly and how can you improve the performance.
Events are an essential part of a culture, whether they are small local
meetings or larger corporate events. This brings people together and shows the
bigger picture. People meet other people and learn from them.
Make events and meetings part of your culture for the whole team. Think
as one family. Meetings get people fired up and inspired by the energy in those
events.
4. Attrition: 80%-20% Rule.
This used to be very high in the Network Marketing Industry but now with
training and leadership skills the balance is being redressed.
What strategies have you put in place to minimise wastage and loss of
people in your business?
Stop and identify which team members need your help and service.
Step Up! Be the Leader!
Encourage your team to feel part of a family. Get everyone involved in
the team and helping at meetings and events.
5. Go Getter's Check List.
If you are a go getter then organise your list of things to do. Put date
and time stamp on activities. Schedule your events and meetings. Get them in
the calendar.
If you plan your strategies then you will get the explosion you desire in
your business.
There will be times when life takes over and you have to re-adjust your
timing or activities but this is fine because you can go back and re-plan if
you have everything 'diarized`
6. Your PASSION is priceless. This does
not mean you have to be all singing and dancing with bells etc. but the passion
you have deep inside. Your team, customers and new distributors will be
attracted to your passion.
Remember you’re BIG WHY? Why you started your business and your journey. Perhaps
now is the time to re-visit it and see if your why is the same.
What are your members WHYS? Do they also need a reminder? Spend some time
talking with them.
Get motivated! Get active!
Go from SUBSTANCE to SIGNIFICANCE in 2016. You have the power within to
create the change you want to see and live the lifestyle of your dreams.
Here’s to your future.
