Scaling your busines

3 Ways to Scale Your Business

If any of the following tasks are on your to-do list for 2019, then please read ahead.

• Start a YouTube channel
• Create multiple e-courses
• Get active on social media
• Create a free opt-in email sequence

Chances are, you’ve got your eyes set on increasing visibility this year. Your customers come to you from the web, so it only makes sense to increase your online marketing and grow a following... right?

Not so sure about that either. Here are some ways you can scale your business this year.

Reach out for support

First and foremost, invest in your business, just rip off the bandaid. This might mean hire that virtual assistant, copywriter, graphic designer, or social media expert. Taking something off your plate will help you to focus on growing.

Automate, automate, automate

Did you know, you can grow your business without working ALL DAY. 

Utilize automation and polished processes as much as you can. I use 17hats to send quotes based on existing templates, Calendly to schedule meetings (less back and forth with scheduling), and Basecamp templates for each of my projects. A few of these platforms require monthly fees, but $20 a month to save me several hours of work each week is worth it to me.

Priorities

With the limited time I have for my business these days, I’ve been forced to prioritize my tasks. What are the tasks that will help my business grow the most? Focus on those first, and either drop the other tasks that fill up our to-do list or hand them off to someone you trust. This may mean you don’t pursue a new avenue for social media (like YouTube), and instead grow aspects of your business that have proven their worth. Through prioritizing your tasks, you will avoid distraction and the “shiny object syndrome” of starting something new and trendy.

Whatever you’ve got in the works for your business this year, just know you got this. Just remember to prioritize.
