This is costing you: Gaps in your business
“You don’t know what you don’t right? And it’s what we don’t know that can cause us to feel stuck, confused, and maybe frustrated because we don’t know how to fix an unknown problem.
And that my friend is a gap in your business.
Sometimes we’re working our business getting the same results not realizing there’s a gap that’s stopping us from more growth. And to be clear not all growth is financial.
Gaps can look like self-sabotage, unclear messaging all the way to being unclear on your offer you’re providing to others.
Let’s talk about those gaps that might be holding you back from experiencing the growth you deserve. I get it; it’s tough out there, but identifying these gaps is the first step to overcoming them.
- “Belief” in Yourself. Oh, the dreaded self-doubt. We all face it at some point, especially in the early stages of our business. But here’s the thing, you’ve already achieved so much in just two years! Fact: Research shows that imposter syndrome affects many entrepreneurs, particularly women. It’s that nagging feeling of not being good enough, even when you’ve achieved so much. Look back at your accomplishments, know your greatness, and remember that you have what it takes to succeed.
- Numbers Don’t Lie (But They Can Help)
I know, data and analytics might sound scary, but they’re actually sexy (lol). Dive into your numbers, girl! Take a look at your sales, customer feedback, and any other metrics you can get your hands on. Businesses that regularly analyze their data are 1.7 times more likely to experience significant growth. It’s like a treasure map that leads you to hidden opportunities for growth.
- Connect with Your Customers
Your customers are the heart and soul of your business. Talk to them, engage with them, and listen to what they have to say. They’ll give you insights you never thought of and help you tailor your offerings to meet their needs better. Customer feedback is pure gold, so don’t be shy to ask for it. Ignoring customer feedback might lead to a disconnect between your offerings and their desires, leaving them unsatisfied and seeking alternatives elsewhere.
- Network Like a Pro (Even if You’re Not One)
Networking might sound intimidating, but it’s not about wearing fancy suits and schmoozing at posh events. Get out there and meet like-minded people. Attend workshops, seminars, and even virtual meetups. You’ll find incredible support and inspiration from fellow entrepreneurs who’ve been through what you’re going through. Fact: 85% of professionals believe that face-to-face networking builds stronger, more meaningful business relationships. When you don’t put yourself out there and network, you’re limiting your access to potential collaborators, mentors, and valuable insights. Those connections can be game-changers, propelling your business forward.
Being aware is the first step! Now that you are aware you have a responsibility to do something about it. Attending the annual Bossy Picnic on September 16th in New Castle DE at the Private Gardens will be your best step.
