The
“CLUES” to Building a Successful Business
|
|
By: Suzanne Mulvehill, MBA
Last month I
participated in a tele-seminar that had world-wide participation.
What was most exciting about presenting this seminar was that I
realized that whether we are in South Florida, Singapore, or
England, we speak a common language, the language of building a
successful business. While there is no exact science to building a
business, there are many clues. The challenge can be recognizing
the clues and what they mean. How many of you remember playing the
game of CLUETM when you were a kid? The clues are what
helped you become confident and believe that you knew who
committed the crime, in which room the crime was committed and
with which instrument. Clues are important to business as well.
While we each may have different clues to help us recognize that
we are going in the right direction, we share common clues. Here
are a few:
-
Referrals –
Referrals are an excellent clue that your business is meeting your
customers needs. Even if you are in the early stages of building
your business and are not yet experiencing referrals, you can ask
if your customers were satisfied and can refer you to colleagues
that might benefit from your services.
-
Support in
your Business Circles – Our business circles are the people
who support us in building our business. Here’s a recent example,
one of my colleagues, Judy Romanoff, host of the Coach Judy radio
show on WZBT, was sick for several weeks and unable to do sales
and marketing for her radio show. Jeff Zbar, a freelance reporter,
e-mailed me because he was doing a story on radio shows and was
looking to interview radio talk show hosts. I e-mailed him Judy’s
information. As it turned out, three other people e-mailed Jeff
the contact information for Judy as well. Judy was amazed at how
her business circle supported her even when she was unable to
work. Reach out to your Business Circles and ask for support when
you need it.
Pay attention
to your clues and know that they are guiding you in building your
business. |

Others Are Saying
About This Book: "No
matter how successful you were in corporate America, you know
nothing about becoming an entrepreneur. I know because I was the
President/CEO of four companies before I became an entrepreneur. I
could have used this book."
Sigmund Goodwin
Vice-President
The Radcliff Company
"How I wished that I had had this precious and practical tool to
help me in my escape from Corporate America! After 15 years in
“Fortune 50” Corporations I was convinced that the “crossing” was
not possible. Practical advice such as “what to do until the money
flows” would have greatly eased the transition for me. Negative
corporate management’s reinforcement about the “big bad world” and
not realizing that it didn’t have to be an all or nothing
transition delayed my ultimately successful escape by years. This
book will be an entrepreneurial bible."
