Business

If you are looking for ways to make your business feel a little more unified, there are actually a lot of approaches that you can take towards making that happen. There are many strong benefits that you can get from doing so, and one of the main ones is that you will be able to expect much greater results from your business in general.

Any business whether it’s small or large must constantly be looking for ways to increase efficiency and boost their sales; especially in the modern-day when many industries are overcrowded. 

As a modern business owner, there are so many things you need to account for and keep in mind. It is important to make sure you work on doing as much as possible to focus on making your business better and bringing it out of lockdown, and boosting efficiency is one of the best ways of doing this. Now, the good news for you is that there are so many wonderful ways of being able to make your business more efficient this year.  

Now that a lot of the restrictions are beginning to lift you may be wondering what it is you can do with your business and how you can start to move it forward. The last few months may have been difficult for you when it comes to making money and you may have had to diversify in order to survive. But now you can start to reprogram your business and move forward. But how can you do this in the right way? Here are some of the things to think about.

Lately my concentration has been off. I find that I am forgetting to do things and that really bothers me. I received an email from a person asking about my networking events. We spoke by phone and agreed that the events were not a match for them. Two days later I emailed them asking if they were still interested. Luckily, they just laughed and reminded me that we had already spoken, but I still looked bad for forgetting. I know this happens to the best of us from time to time, especially when we are overextended, and that it will get better. However, I do know of people who use their forgetfulness as an excuse.

Last week I was scrolling social media and I saw a resume for a person that I happen to know very casually. When I looked at it, I said to myself ‘you should share their resume’. However, I must admit there was a part of me that was hesitant because I have reached out to this person many times about my networking group and very rarely have they ever responded to me. There was a part of me that said ‘you do not owe them any favors’.

This week three of my connections have posted about how mad they get when people connect with them on social media and then try to sell them something right away. I understand the importance of getting to know, like and trust someone, but I am ok with you pitching your services to me, because I have the right to say no.

As I take on more responsibility, I must stop and ask myself what did I forget to do today? I can no longer keep everything in my head, so I have started using programs to keep track of the things I need to do and the people I need to reach out to.

One of my challenges is that I loved to be challenged. I am always willing to take on new opportunities. I have learned that I must be careful in this area because I have to stay focused on my primary business if I expect it to grow.

One of the common frustrations I hear from my friends is that they meet people at events who say they are interested in learning more about them, and then never return their calls or emails. Please stop doing this. Please stop ghosting people.
