Is Your Business Getting Stale?

Is Your Business Getting Stale?

How to Turn Stale into Remarkable
 

If you look around your business right now, what do you see? Are you tired of looking at it? Does it excite you anymore? Do you feel stuck in neutral? If you are – then you are probably VERY frustrated because you KNOW that what you do is great…it just needs some new energy.

Well, if you aren’t passionate about what you do, then no one else will be either. So you need to fix it NOW – before stale becomes GONE! But how? Here’s  few things you can do RIGHT NOW to turn stale into Remarkable!

#1 – STOP, DROP and ROLL. 

No don’t set yourself on fire then put it out! You have to STOP the hectic daily grind, DROP what you are doing, ROLL out of the office – and LOOK around. Look, listen, smell & feel what is going on around you.

·         How is your customer base changing?

·         Are their needs the same now as they were a few years ago?

·         What will their needs be in the near future?

·         Are you positioned to be a player in “what’s next?”

·         Do you know exactly WHY people have used you in the past? Does that still apply?

·         What is your competition doing?

·         Is there another emerging market (that you don’t target now)?

·         Could you create something new to tackle new markets? (see below)

#2 – New Ideas = Goldmine.

NOTHING generates more excitement than fresh new ideas. Remember how excited you were when you first started your company? You can get that excitement back. The difference between a company that is sustaining to one that in ROCKIN can be one simple, fresh idea.

Hold a brainstorming session with your Team (or better yet, have it facilitated with an outside professional). The brain is amazing – get many of them focused on one task – new ideas for growth. You will be surprised how many employees bite their tongue – because they are never asked for their ideas. It can produce brilliant results.

 

Don’t have a staff? Get into a Mastermind Group or Innovation Group. Surround yourself with experienced CEO’s and entrepreneurs that will help you innovate (and re-ignite YOUR fire!) It can save your business!
