I recently attended an insightful webinar by Nehemiah Davis, where he emphasized the significance of building a strong personal brand. Davis attributed his success as a millionaire to this crucial aspect. In your industry, what do you aspire to be known for? When your name is mentioned, what should people associate you with? Is it credit repair, the premier trucking company, or perhaps your unique personal story? Ensuring a seamless connection with your audience is key. Establishing a personal connection with consumers is paramount in building your enterprise. Customers seek a sense of belonging, akin to being part of a family. Once this bond is forged, they will trust and support your brand, even if you were selling tumbleweeds. When aiming to gain trust from buyers, it's essential to carefully analyze the message you convey. Every interaction should reflect your values and reinforce your brand identity. Just some valuable food for thought to ponder on as you navigate the path to building a successful enterprise. #consulting #business #marketing #consultant #coaching #entrepreneur #management #leadership #smallbusiness #training #success #motivation #technology #startup #branding #finance #strategy #managementconsulting #businessconsulting #design #digitalmarketing #accounting #work #innovation #hr #entrepreneurship #projectmanagement #covid #socialmedia

Your profit and loss statement reflects the outcomes of your decisions over a period. But, it doesn't reveal the missed opportunities. 👉 Take this example: Years ago, my mom wanted to invest in major renovations for her home. She reached out to three contractors… but only one responded. The other two didn't bother to return her call. (This was astounding – they missed a significant opportunity! And this was in 2009, at the height of the recession!!) This scenario highlights a crucial point. When those other two contractors reviewed their annual profit and loss statements, they wouldn't see this lost opportunity recorded. It's a silent gap. Remember, a profit and loss statement captures what has transpired, not what could have been. It's essential to stay vigilant about opportunities that slip away. Consider these strategies: ✅ How can you enhance your presence and visibility in your market? ✅ What proactive steps can you implement to secure more business deals? ✅ How can you build strategies for customer retention and repeat business? As a CPA, I always advise my clients to look beyond just the numbers in their profit and loss statements. You want to understand the full scope of your business's potential. How do you keep tabs on missed opportunities in your business? Share your strategies! #entrepreneurship #success #future #smallbusiness #leadership

❌ Are you focusing on the wrong USP? So many small businesses get this SO wrong... Even with a focus on the wrong Unique Selling Proposition (USP), you can be relatively successful over many years. But as times have changed, what may have set your business apart at the start may actually be holding you back now. And putting a limit on your future success. 💡 So... you really need to think about how to redefine your USP. Instead of focusing on your product's USP, give some thought to your business's USP... ☑ How well do YOU represent your business? ✅ How does your staff and business come across on social media? ☑ Does your customer service set you apart? ✅ What do you do better than your competitors? ☑ How does your direct experience as an owner reflect on what you do? Remember - on a small business level - people buy from people! 😉 So - your product isn't necessarily what will make you stand out to prospective customers - it's YOU and your team! #smallbusiness #ceo #founder #leadership #entrepreneurship --- ➡ If you've been running your business for over 10 years - get your free guide - "Overcoming The 9 Biggest Challenges Of Running A 10+ Year Business" - when you join the ONLY Linkedin group just for you... https://lnkd.in/eEU4RN4A
