Business Growth Blunders To Avoid

I’ve been writing business features for a while now, and in that time, I’ve come across a lot of small and large businesses that fail to hit their targets in terms of growth, or wind up growing at an extremely slow rate. Then there are those that go through a period of massive exponential growth, but have owners who don’t know how to handle it! If you want to hit your targets in terms of growth, you need to understand the factors that affect it, and avoid the major blunders that a lot of entrepreneurs seem to make. Here are a few big mistakes you need to avoid when it comes to stimulating growth…

Having a Poor Mindset

If a business owner doesn’t have the right mindset for stimulating their operation, and generally going the extra mile with the work they’re putting in, it can be a serious strain on the company’s potential for success. Many uphold that success in business is 90% in the owner’s mindset, and 10% practical work. I wouldn’t say this is entirely true, but hey, it drives my point home! You need to have the courage to take risks, and the logical shrewdness to know which ones are worth taking, and which could blow up in your face. Even when things knock you down, you need to have the resilience to bounce back and carry on striving towards your next big milestone.

Bad Hiring

As your business grows and develops, you’re going to need to hire people in to take care of various tasks. When running your recruitment drives, it’s essential that you try to avoid any missteps, and thoroughly scour your pool of talent for the very best people for the role. A single bad hire can cost your business tens of thousands in a short space of time, and poison an otherwise positive workplace culture. The really bad ones can be the root of HR and employment law disputes, which may send you high-tailing it for companies like Ellis Whittam. If there’s one common mistake made by small business owners, it’s having a recruitment process which isn’t demanding enough. If you’re running on a simple application and an interview, it may be time to add a few more layers to the recruitment process. Have questionnaires and several interviews, possibly even group exercises with rival candidates. If they’re a creative, then have them do a trial piece of work. I know, this sounds gruelling, and that’s the idea! If a candidate makes it to the end of this process, you’ll know one thing for sure: they’re willing to jump through hoops when they’re asked, and they have a genuine interest in working for your company. This means that they’ll be much more receptive to training and ongoing guidance in the job.

Neglecting the Website and SEO

It’s 2017, and that means that as a business owner, your company website needs to be one more money-making part of the overall operation. Despite this, countless business owners maintain websites which have never made a penny, and exist purely for marketing purposes. While a good website can certainly be a great marketing tool, you need to make sure that you’re getting the most out of yours. Different company sites require different approaches, but there are certain universal principles you can follow to ensure it garners a better conversion rate. First of all, make sure it’s educational. Before they decide whether or not to buy from your company, your target market is just going to want information and education from the site. Next, be sure to include an opt-in box with a decent level of white space. This is a great tool for getting new customers’ names and email addresses. Finally, you need to pay some attention to your organic SEO ranking. A lot of small businesses will invest in PPC, and assume that this is all the marketing you need in a modern, digital age. However, if you’re not doing anything that will reap in organic (through normal search results) traffic, you’re inevitably going to fall behind your competitors. Whether you hire a full-time in-house team, or outsource the work to a company like SEO Professor, you can’t afford to neglect this facet of online marketing.

While growth is necessary if you want your business to be as successful as possible, there’s a right way and a wrong way to stimulate it. As you start to expand and develop, keep these mistakes in mind, and do everything in your power to avoid them!

4 Businesses That Your Own Business Isn’t Making Use Of

by

Businesses need other businesses to survive, that’s a no-brainer. However, there are many business owners that refuse to use another business’s services due to bad blood or arguments in the past, and there are some business owners that are so blinded by their own success that they won’t be willing to invest money into their company to grow it if it means supporting another business.

 

This is a very stubborn way to go about running your company, but it’s something that admittedly everyone suffers from at the beginning. However, here are four different businesses that you probably aren’t utilising enough that could have a huge impact on your business’s success.

Software Developers

 

Computers can do a lot for your business, but most software packages come off the shelf and they’re made for very general uses. What many large companies actually do is hire software developers to create bespoke software for very specific purposes. This eliminates the need to pay a monthly or annual license subscription for a software package, and it means that you get the features you need and nothing extra. This makes teaching your employees how to use the software much easier, and since they can operate it more efficiently it helps to make your business run smoothly.

 

Specialised Delivery Services

 

No, this doesn’t mean fast food deliveries like pizza and burgers. What this refers to is specialised delivery services such as fuel or large appliances. Many business owners get their equipment and supplies from large corporations that specialise in office equipment, but did you know that you could get better equipment and more reliable customer service if you decided to speak with a dedicated business? For instance, you could always go to a petrol station to fill up your transportation vehicles, but how about getting it delivered straight to your doorstep by a company like New Era Fuels? It saves time, money in the long run, and a lot of hassle. If you need computers, why order from an office supplies store? Why not contact a computer expert and get your computers built and delivered by a professional?

 

Web Development

 

An online presence is incredibly important, and sadly not many businesses are utilising the internet well enough to make an online impact. Make sure that your website is fresh, clean and accessible on mobile devices as well as computers. You can do this by using online tools, or you could outsource web development to professionals. Either way, ensure that you have a great looking website with all the information your customers need.

 

Social Media Management
This is another thing that can be outsourced. If you’re serious about making an impact on the internet, then you need someone who is dedicated to following online trends and promoting your business through social channels like Facebook and Instagram. With the correct amount of online marketing, your business can spread through social media like a virus and your company will be the first name people think of when they think about your industry.

Go Green With These 3 Business Ideas

by

Being eco-friendly is more than just a trend, it’s something everyone should aspire to be. By everyone, I mean individuals and businesses alike. Keeping that in mind, here are some green business ideas you might find interesting:

Organic Food Food Fresh Healthy Nutritious Organic

Organic Catering Business

When people think about green business ideas, they tend to focus on things revolving around recycling or renewable energy. However, what you forget is that a lot of damage is done to the environment in the food industry. Companies are making processed foods in huge factories that are pumping out gallons of toxic fumes every day. What you could do is start an organic catering business that brings eco-friendly food to whoever wants it. The focus will be on using ingredients and processes that harm the environment as little as possible. You source your ingredients from local farms and pick locally grown vegetables, etc. All the meat you sell is organic and free-range, making it far better for the environment. Nothing is packaged in plastic tubs that are bad for the environment either. Everything is contained in recyclable containers that are biodegradable and good for planet earth. You can make money by catering to many different people, mainly, you should work the events scene. I can guarantee you’ll find plenty of corporate events looking for organic caterers to enhance the reputation of said event. People will be eager to pay for your catering service because they know it makes them look a lot better if they’re going organic and getting their food from an eco-friendly business. This is great as it puts non-eco-friendly caterers out of business while filling your pockets full of cash.

Metal Recycling Business

A metal recycling business can be very profitable. This is down to a list of various factors. For one, there is a huge demand for the recycled metal. Manufacturing companies are looking for it all over the world. It’s cheaper for them, which means they’ll be keen to spend their money. Secondly, it’s an idea where you can pretty much take something that’s worth nothing, and turn it into a valuable resource. Scrap metal is pretty much free, you can find it for free, head to various scrap yards and pick it up for free, there’s never really any cost to getting your hands on these materials. What this means is that you save loads of money on procurement costs. The only things you’ll have to purchase are items that will help you like scales for a scrap yard and the machines needed to recycle the metal. With limited ongoing costs, it means the potential for profits is so much higher. Plus, there is an abundance of scrap metal everywhere. 90% of the things people throw away will contain scrap metal of some kind. It won’t be hard to get your hands on, and you can recycle loads of it for big bucks. Such a great green business idea.

Bicycle Business

In truth, this business idea revolves around two key concepts; a business where people can hire bikes, while also being a place where you repair bikes. But, it’s a lot easier to just call it a bicycle business for the time being. It’s a great idea, as bikes are a way for people to directly contribute to helping the environment. If more people can cycle, then fewer people will be in vehicles that give off carbon emissions. It’s simple, and there are many big cities around the world with cycling initiatives and locations within the city where people can rent bikes supplied by the government. However, this doesn’t happen everywhere, and even when it is available a lot of the bikes are hard to ride, or there are none left. With your business, you can provide people with bikes that they can cycle around the city for a day instead of driving their car or getting public transport. Alternatively, you could operate a service that’s the same as a car rental business, only with bikes. People can rent a bike for a few days and return it once they’re finished. Plus, with your repairs service, you can help people get back on broken bikes. Too many people don’t cycle because they don’t have a working bike. Their old one is just sitting in their garage collect dust and rusting over. With your repair shop, you can breathe new life into an old bike and help the environment.

 

Fancy going green and making lots of money at the same time? Then try out any of these three business ideas.

It’s An Adventure Not To Be Underestimated

by

pexels-photo-192518

Camping is an adventure. It’s one of the few chances we can truly leave our comfort zones and experience what it is really like to be absorbed by nature – whether that is wild camping, laying on the back of a pick-up truck and staring at the stars or going to a small little music festival yet to be ruined by the mainstream. All of it constitutes an adventure, and for anyone who has ever done it, they’ll know that it is rarely a matter of just tossing a tent in a car and leaving. Most of the time it requires a lot of planning.

pexels-photo-128956

Image source

 

Don’t Believe What They Say About The Tent

All tent manufacturers are liars, that is a fact. So don’t become a name on the long list of names of people who have fallen victim. All too often, novice campers will go into a camping shop, or pop online, and buy a snazzy three-man tent to fit them and the three mates they are taking with them into the wilderness, only to get their and realise that a three-man tent barely fits one man and two squirrels. Okay, that is an exaggeration. What we mean is, you’ll all fit, but there will be absolutely zero room to maneuver. So if there are three of you going, then buy a five man tent. If there are two of you, buy a three-man at least.

 

Research Everything You Can

Seriously, the more you know, the more enjoyable the experience, and that is because you’ll be better prepared for the changing scenarios. So before you leave on your next camping trip, research the weather, make sure you know what temperature it will be in the day and what it will drop down to at night. Make sure you have read up on different wilderness survival tips, have a map that shows where the different freshwater sources are and if there are any known threats in that area, whether wasps or bears or whatever. The more you know the better protected you are.

 

Knowing Where To Pitch Is Critical

You may think you have found the perfect pitch because the vistas from the front flap are unrivalled, but that is really the case. Sure, you’ll have brilliant views, but you’ll have far from brilliant comfort. As such, there are two things you should prioritize when looking where to pitch your tent. Firstly, make sure you are on a level bit of ground. You don’t want your tent to start rolling and you don’t want to find that you are slipping anywhere in your sleep, so find somewhere flat. The second piece of advice is about lumps and bumps. Basically, don’t pitch your tent on any lumps and bumps. You will not get comfortable, you will not sleep and you will end up resenting the vistas you thought would make the experience.

 

Camping Is Cold. Accept It.

It doesn’t matter if you pick midsummer’s day, or you decide to go on a road trip and start camping in a desert, camping will always get cold at night. You’ll start shivering. You’ll start moaning. You’ll start cursing. So always make sure you have packed enough in the way of sleeping equipment. This means a three season sleeping bag, thick socks, and any equipment you may need to light a fire.

You Won’t Beer-lieve It! How To Take Your Mind Off Alcohol

by

Alcohol dependency affects around one in ten people at some point in their lives, making it one of the most common addictions out there. During the early stages, you’re hardly aware that there’s a problem. But it’s the sort of thing that sneaks up on you slowly, slowly gnawing away at your social life and your health. Often you realize you might have a problem just in the nick of time.

The problem with drinking too much is that it is often covering up for a deeper, underlying issue, like so many other addictive habits. It’s the desire to feel good in the moment to get away from negative feelings.

The good news is that there are plenty of other ways to do that which are actually good for you. Here’s how.

Meditate

It turns out that meditation isn’t just something for Buddhists or ancient mystics: it’s something that is beneficial for everybody. The real positive impact of meditation shows up time and time again in the research literature. Physical effects, like lowering blood pressure and reducing stress hormone levels have actually been observed, proving that there is a genuine mind-body connection.

Meditation attempts to get to the core of the problem by focusing on ridding the mind of its negative energy – the thing that is driving addictive tendencies. This is fundamentally the reason why so many people visit an alcohol rehab center. They want to find a way to resolve the underlying issues that lead them to want to drink in the first place and deal with it.

Go Hiking

Many of the people who get addicted to stuff feel “boxed in” whether that is literally because they are confined to their home or their neighborhood, or whether it is mental because they are trapped in dysfunctional relationships. An excellent way to escape this feeling is to go on hikes to see the wider world and take in all its beauty. Hikes are a stark reminder that the world is a lot bigger than we are.

There may be some science to suggest that hiking is a good way to wean yourself of alcohol. The evidence comes from animal studies involving rats. Rats who were confined to a small space and not allowed freedom to move around long distance were more likely to get addicted to cocaine than rats that were. This led researchers to theorize that being caged and imprisoned by something is more likely to lead to addiction, perhaps because it is a way of coping with confinement.

Write

  1. R. R. Tolkien, the man who wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, is believed to have started writing as a form of therapy. He was involved in the futility of the First World War and saw just how easily human life could be thrown away. He, as well as other famous authors like C. S. Lewis, picked up their pens and tried to process their trauma by writing books. To some extent they succeeded, and through their works they inspired a generation. Freelance Typesetters can help you to turn your writing into a published book, which can be an added plus for using writing as a form of therapy.

The Ingredients To A Brand That Really Sticks To The Customer

by

The one thing that any business owner could hope for is that people are thinking about their brand even when they’re not directly in contact with it. The more memorable the business, the better a chance it gets to finally, eventually convert those people thinking about it. So, even when you’re not directly winning over customers, you should be thinking about ways to make sure that their memory of the brand stays ever fresh. Here, we’ll look at three ingredients that make a really memorable brand.

pexels-photo-168575

Image Source

Consistency

Times change and the different strategies and focal points of a business change. What shouldn’t change, however, is your branding. If you don’t have a core value to stick to, you’ll find it hard to keep any customer. Similarly, if that value isn’t part of a brand that stays consistent, then how do you expect people to be able to remember what your business is about? The best way to ensure branding stays consistent is to identify the brand story. This is distilling the business down to the core of what it offers customers. It’s about identifying those values at the heart of it and making them the center of any message. Your brand and messaging can evolve, but as long as you have a brand story to stick to, it carries that consistency and those central themes all the way through.

Exposure

A business becomes a lot more memorable if it takes every opportunity it can to make itself more visible, too. Besides reaching out through outbound marketing like social media and email campaigns, make sure you have a strong inbound presence through your website, content marketing and the like. Make it easier for customers to find you. At live events, get more info on how to stick out and make yourself all the more visible with the right swag and branded wear for your team. If you have any business property, even if it’s an office and not a storefront, make sure that you’re considering the curb appeal and the visual impact of it. Never miss an opportunity to put your brand front and center wherever your business is operating.

Communication

You shouldn’t be the only one making noise about your business, of course. Instead, you should be outsourcing that job to those customers already supporting the business. To do that, you need to build a real connection with them. Make sure you’re replying to them when they comment or ask for support on social media. Get them involved with community-based marketing campaigns and giveaways. You can even incentivize them to spread the word by offering deals based on sharing posts online. But the best way to make sure that you’re getting them to communicate well is by paying attention to what they say and taking the time to really address them like people.

A great brand always sticks to the core of its message. It always puts it on display. It always keeps the customer in the loop. Master those three aspects of your branding and you’ll find your business is the one thing that the market just can’t forget.

Compute This: What Computers Can Do For Your Business

by

Computers are doing it all for our businesses right now in this day and age, and they have improved how everything operates in business. Technology is never going to stop advancing, so we’ve only got more of the same to look forward to. However, if you’re not using computers in your business – you’re going to be at a huge disadvantage against major competitors in your area who are using them.

 

As we said – computers are doing it all for our businesses right now. Let’s take a closer look.

 

Computers can run software, and the ways that different types of software can help businesses is a list that frankly, will never end. Software can help business manage files, data, and documents on a basic level and on a more advanced level it can allow communication and creation. Computers also stored data in an effective way, and you’ll find it easier to search than a creaking old filing cabinet. Computers can help your business run on its own two feet. With computers and their software you can create promotional material, you can also prepare tax statements and manage your finances. Computers give us so much that previously would have been outsourced to a third party. Isn’t that quite the money saver?

Speaking of saving money, technology and computers are constantly making services more affordable. Computing power allows for your work to be done faster and of course, more efficiently. This may mean that your business might hire fewer staff saving you money on your staff payroll. Networked systems can also allow you to share files, meaning that you won’t need file storage and copiers to share documents. Of course, computing technology can speed up your business as well – ordering business items, communication, customer service, and other areas can be fully digitized, meaning you’ll be completing these tasks faster and to a higher standard thanks to computers.

 

Thankfully, learning about computers isn’t rocket science – there’s plenty of advice on offer for you if you’re unsure. If you’re far too busy to handle this, then consider a hiring managed IT services. The benefits of bringing your business into the 21st century far outweighs the cost of upgrading. There’s enough nonsense in business today, so cut it out with computing.

 

The internet also offers amazing tools for business. A company website can help generate sales and boost your profits. Operating online allows your stores to be accessed from customers dotted all over the globe at any time you wish – so store hours no longer need to factor. Of course, you can promote your business to people with the help of social media where you can speak to your customers and create content that will lure new patrons in. There are even cloud storage solutions, so you can store your files online and access them from anywhere in the world.

 

Computing gives us so many options, so it’s easy to see why businesses that refuse to upgrade get left behind. There’s plenty of help available so get moving!

Pain In The What?! Personal Surgery Doesn’t Have To Be Invasive

by

When it comes to embarrassing conditions, people usually worry that the treatment for it will be very invasive. These sorts of conditions are usually located in the private regions of our bodies. So, it’s a horrible idea to have someone poking around with it; even if it’s going to help you. So, it’s important for a lot of people to have an option that minimises this as much as possible. And, to help you out, this post will be going through some of the things you need to consider. This will take a little bit of work. But, it will be worth it in the end.

A lot of different types of surgery are considered invasive. When a surgeon has to work on a very private part of your body, it’s hard for them to avoid seeing things that you’d rather they didn’t. So, it’s important to a lot of people that their surgery is as noninvasive as possible. With this in mind, researches have gone to great lengths with a host of issues to make their treatments better for patients. It’s hard for this to be achieved; but, in a lot of cases, it’s been done to a surprising level. In some cases, this involves using tools that keep human contact to a minimum. And, in others, it’s done by limiting the amount of time a surgery lasts. All of the effort that has been made has opened the doors for people who are worried about people seeing their body.

 

It’s important that you do your own research for something like this. Your local hospital may not offer the best option for you. Instead, it could be worth traveling for it. For example, if you have something wrong when you go to the toilet, it could be hard to have a surgeon poke around. So, it’s best to find out from Comprehensive Urology or another company, what your best options are. You may have to travel out of your country to get the very best treatment. But, this will depend on each case. In some places, doctors will use older methods. This can vary from hospital to hospital; even in the same city.

 

Once you know how your surgery will be performed, you need to choose a good doctor. First and foremost, your doctor should be someone that you trust. Without trust, it will be hard for you to feel comfortable with them. And, you also want them to be experienced. Along with experience, though, they also need a good track record. Make sure that they know the type of surgery they’re going to be performing on you very well. And, that they’ve had a lot of success with it, in the past. This decision is something you have to make for yourself. Sometimes, it’s worth getting a more intrusive procedure, to have it done by a better doctor.
Hopefully, this will help you to get over the fear of surgery. There are loads of reasons that people don’t want to go under the knife. Embarrassment is just one of the more common issues people face. Remember; your doctor sees loads of people everyday. You’re not going to be showing them something they’ve not seen before.

The Good Boss Bible: How To Make Employees Feel Valued

by

14387367072_85312c31b3_n

Credit

 

All bosses need to work hard to ensure their employees always feel valued. Failure to do that would mean you have to deal with high staff turnover. Also, your workers will never reach optimum productivity if they don’t care about your company. With that in mind, I wanted to offer three basic tips today that could make all the difference. If you use this advice, your workers should begin to build new levels of respect for you as their manager. Like it or not, the people who work for your brand are more than numbers. They have lives and ambitions just like you. So, it makes sense to help them achieve their goals if they work hard and show dedication.

 

Make sure everyone has a retirement plan

 

The first thing you need to do is ensure that everyone has a retirement plan in place. Some of your workers might use private schemes. However, you should still offer them a workplace 401k. That process might seem complicated, but there is lots of help available. Small business 401k plan providers will work with you to come to an arrangement. In most instances, your employees will contribute a portion of their salary every month into the fund. They do that before you make tax deductions. When they reach retirement age, they just cash in their policy and live the good life. Of course, they do have to pay tax when the time comes to withdraw their funds.

 

Offer opportunities for progression within your company

 

Nobody wants to feel like they’re in a dead-end job with no prospects. That is why you must provide a career advancement path within your operation. Some people are happy to stay in the same roles their entire life. That’s fine, but plenty of others have bigger ambitions. So, you should help to facilitate that. Provide lots of training to the right people, and promote them whenever possible. If you do that, you should end up with an experienced team who understand all the ins and outs of your business. That should help you to make higher profits and deal with any issues fast.

 

Provide financial rewards for people who go above and beyond

 

Rewarding people when they do something impressive is always a wise move. While opinions are split on this matter, I believe monetary rewards are the best option. If someone can see the difference in their wages, they are likely to repeat the action. Before you know it, every worker will go above and beyond the call of duty to impress you. Just make sure you get the level of reward right. Bonuses should never account for more than around 10% of an employee’s monthly pay packet.
Now you know how to make your workers feel valued, you should start making changes today. When all’s said and done, you want to see smiles on their faces when you arrive each morning. That is never going to happen if they hate coming to work and think you’re less than approachable. So, get to know all your employees as much as possible and show them you value their contribution.

Cut Out The Nonsense In Your Business

by

pexels-photo-66363

Credit Link

 

You’ll probably find there is a lot of nonsense and wastage in your business model. Nothing is one hundred percent efficient, no matter how hard you might have tried. There’s always going to be mistakes, human error and general tech failure. But, with a little elbow grease, some quick thinking and a touch of determination you can cut out most of the nonsense. You can make your business more efficient than it was an ensure that it matches your own high standards. Here are some of the areas where a lot of the nonsense and rubbish can be avoided.

 

Mail Management

 

When you open your business you’re going to have a lot of mail flooding in as well as emails and social media updates. While some of this info flooding into your company will either be relevant or useful a lot of it will be junk. The best way to deal with this is by using a mail forwarding service. The mail goes to an address that isn’t where your company is actually situated. There it is sorted, the junk is removed and everything else is passed on. In most cases it can be sent directly to your email folder. It’s not just letters that you can do this with though. You can also sort your email in the same way. Hire a company to receive the email for you and make sure you only see what’s relevant. You’ll waste a lot less time by doing this.

 

Energy Saver

 

How much energy are you wasting in your business model? The answer is probably thousands in electricity and gas. To cut down, you just need to get in touch with your energy provider. Compare their rates to other suppliers on the market, and you might find that you are being massively overcharged. It might be time to switch to a company that can offer power from a completely renewable source for a fraction of the cost. It’s easy to switch, and all it takes is a short phone call.

 

Too Many Cooks

 

Ever heard the phrase too many cooks in the kitchen? Well we think it’s time to start thinking about whether there are too many employees in the office. When you get right down to it an employee is nothing more than a business expense. If you can live without them, then you probably should. In most cases you can because their job can be outsourced. There are outsourcing companies for every aspect of a business these days. That’s why it’s possible to run your company as a solopreneur. All the jobs that you don’t want to handle can be moved out of your business.

 

DIY

 

Are you spending too much money and resources on marketing and promotion? Probably, because these days there’s no need for a full marketing service. Instead you can try the DIY business model. This has become very popular lately because you cut costs and you stay in complete control of your own promotion. That way, you know exactly what message is being received by potential customers.

 

You see, there are ways to get rid of the nonsense in your business model and run a business that really delivers.
