What is holding you back?

What is Holding you Back?

If I was to ask you today, if you have done everything possible to grow and promote your business, if you were 100% honest, you would answer no.  This can be a challenging concept, as alot of business owners out there, believe that they are doing everything they can, to promote the business.  I believe that there is always something more you can do.  For those of you that the answer 'no' came easily to - my 2nd question is why?

Why haven't you done, everything humanly possible to grow your business?

The excuses range from time to money, to nothing works or we are in a down turn.  These are just excuses.

The real answers, the challenging ones, can be quite in depth.

Maybe you think your business isn't good enough to promote.  Maybe you think you have a big enough share of the market.  

    Maybe you are (to get a bit psychological) afraid of success?     With success comes great responsibility.

Maybe you are afraid of failure?      What if you really do try everything, and nothing works?

Maybe you think your business is doing so much on the high end (TV advertising, radio etc) that you don't think it necessary to continue the promotion at the base level (word of mouth, networking, referral).

Once you have the answer - then you can correct the mindset, and continue the climb to success for you business.

Once you establish in your mind, that you do want success (and you need to have a clear definition of what success means to you), you will be more open to the opportunities that come your way, and more importantly creating the opportunities that will allow your business to grow.

What are you doing this week to grow and promote your business?  How many business cards have you handed out?
