Why the hell would you want to upgrade your business? Isn’t surviving each day and making more money than you earn enough?

No, it’s not. A business is not meant to stay static. Instead, you should constantly and actively seek to upgrade your business and your level of accountability. After all, a rut may be comfortable, but if you stay in it, you’re going nowhere…

What Does Upgrading a Business Involve?

To move your business forwards, it’s all about finding a better way of doing something. A better way to make your customers happy and solve their problems. Or a better way of spreading your message to new customers. It is even about finding a better way to sell your products or services.

Business Accountably also plays a large role. Many new business owners move straight from employee to owner. While being able to manage tasks their own way is enjoyable, they often struggle with task completion. Using a business coach or accountability coach helps to keep them on track and achieve more success.

How Will You Upgrade Your Business This Year?

To move forward, you need to have some idea about where you are going. Chances are, you don’t know or only have a vague idea. The question is then, how will you find out what kinds of things you need to upgrade in your business? Simple – ask!

• Ask your customers or clients. What do they want more of from your business, or what do they want which you don’t currently provide?
• Ask yourself about what makes your business different. How does it differentiate from other businesses in the same industry? What can you do to make it unique and have a point of difference?
• What are you going to learn? Even as adults, we never stop learning. As business owners, we can choose to learn new skills to grow our business. What skills or knowledge are you going to learn to up the stakes in your business?
• Become accountable! Find an accountability coach who will keep you on task and follow through on your goals. If there is no one “on your case”, are you sure you will keep moving forward?
• Ask for recommendations from other business owners regarding business networks. Use a business support service which aligns with your goals. Build relationships with other business owners to tap their knowledge and share your own.
