Build your Business - Common Themes
For 12 days in December ICA brought you Business Basecamp - a series of teleseminars designed to build your business. For this series we scoured the web, our networks and lists of well known entrepreneurs to select the 12 most essential steps to getting any business off the ground and soaring. You can see the list of speakers here:
Its a very intense experience to sit through 1 - 3 hours of fast paced quality content each day for 12 days. I found it both exhilarating and exhausting. And an interesting thing occurred…after about day 3 I started to notice some repitition from the speakers. As the days went on this happened again and again. So although each speaker was presenting on substantially different topics, elements of their message was the same.
Here then is a list of the Top 5 Tips for Successful Entreprenuers in 2007, incorporating the most common themes and threads from http://www.businessbeacamp.com
1. Getting Clients
Don’t be desperate or needy, clients can sense this. The very best way to get a new client is to be fully confident in the value of what you offer and be very clear of the perfect client for you. Come from a perspective of generosity and worth rather than need or greed.
2. Partnerships. Partnerships. Partnerships.
The fastest, most economical way to promote yourself to a wide audience is through partnerships. Look for them everywhere, all the time.
3. Employ Experts
The sooner you can outsource your non-core business the better. Even if you have to borrow to do it, focussing on what you are good at and letting experts handle the rest will have you get where you want to be much, much quicker than slogging through each task yourself.
4. Automate Everything
Invest in systems and software to automate as much as humanly possible. If you do the same task more than 3 times a week, its time to look at how you can automate it. Free up your time to do the creating and delivering
5. Stay Positive.
The success or failure of your business depends on the state of your mind. Find ways to stay positive, enforce your vision and remain focussed.
