As we near the end of summer, here is a question I have for you, "Are you using the right form of energy to grow your business?" Are you having trouble growing your small business as fast as you want? Are you making all the right moves and still the business just inches forward? Read this article and see if you are using the right form of energy to grow your small business?
Head Energy
My consulting experiences have taught me there are two types of business energy. I call the first type "head energy". This is the energy that comes from wanting to do better or more with your small business.
- You want more profits.
- You want more customers.
- You want better marketing.
Head energy is very powerful. It can inspire. It can achieve dreams. It can drive you forward.
Head energy also has limitations. Head energy promises fulfillment in the future. Before the future arrives you must sustain yourself along the way. If you fail to sustain the head energy, your hopes and aspirations tumble down. They become "the good idea that was never achieved!"
Gut Energy
I call the second type of small business energy "gut energy". This energy involves your current business worries; your current business mistakes; the business issues that need fixing right now.
- What is decreasing your profits now?
- What is preventing you from having more customers now?
- What are your current marketing mistakes?
I call this gut energy because it sits right in your gut, churning away. This is extremely powerful energy because it is so immediate. It is right now! It calls for immediate attention. Fix the situation now!
Gut energy is not as glamorous as head energy. It is always more fun to dream about your future than to do the hard work of fixing your current mistakes. But when you want to see immediate improvements in your business, turn to your gut energy.
9 Common Small Business Mistakes
Here I list the 9 most common small business mistakes. Ask yourself if you are making mistakes in any of these areas. If so, you have the opportunity to find powerful energy to move your business forward.
- Lack of cash flow
- Poor planning
- Forgetting your customer
- Selling versus marketing
- Lacking needed expertise
- Misunderstanding credit
- Becoming an advertising victim
- Poor customer shopping experiences
- Making yourself the center of your business
