I work with a lot of entrepreneurs. By and large, most entrepreneurs have similar admirable qualities. They are internally driven, risk takers, and they are visionaries. They all want to grow – to be bigger, and they are willing to do what it takes to get there.
Wherever “there” is!
What do I mean?
You see, I find a lot of times that business owners are passionate about doubling their sales. But they don’t always even know what they are doubling from! They don’t have a baseline knowledge of the reality of their numbers to use as a guide – so they don’t know what to double!
Fortunately, this is an easy fix! Any business owner that wants to double their sales needs a goal and a strategy. And they also need to know a number that they want to double to!
So, let’s get down to business. The first step toward formulating a strategy for doubling your sales is taking an inventory of all of your numbers. What are your sales, your expenses, profits, etc?
I find that most business owners are surprised when they take a real raw look at the numbers in their business. They aren’t surprised in a bad way – they are simply enlightened about the inner workings that they previously didn’t have a firm grasp of.
Most of the time, it’s pretty empowering!
I talked about this as well as many other bits of wisdom and information with the incredible Sheryl Roush on my podcast interview. Sheryl is a dear friend as well as a sought after expert in business and entrepreneurship. She has truly infectious energy that I hope all my listeners can catch a little bit of! Her stories of success and “failure” – including bankruptcy and how she overcame it – will inspire you to take the next step in your business!
So, is this you? Do you want to double your sales but you aren’t sure yet what exactly what number to multiply? That’s great news! Because now you know the next step toward doubling your sales. Know your numbers, shift your limiting beliefs, and watch your sales double!
