When we are starting a business or we already have a business and we want to boost it, there are certain areas in which we should focus our talent, our development, and our knowledge, in this way we will achieve that our business grows and remains stable over time. We have to bear in mind that it is not only a question of taking a course and obtaining a certificate for our business to grow; the important thing is to keep in mind these 5 areas in which we must work to see the results we want.
Planning
The goals we set must be achievable and must be supported by incentives; it is necessary that the entire organization remains focused on the goals. To achieve this we must ask ourselves if we have a realistic and strategic plan, are all areas of the organization aware of this plan? because communication must be adequate as we explained in our previous article entitled 5 factors that prevent your team and business from growing.
Execution
In this area is where we go to make things happen, here we put our knowledge into practice to materialize our ideas, we must take the knowledge and ideas to the world of action and here we will see if they really work or not, we must bear in mind that when it comes to business, our actions must be quick and imperfect.
Influence
In this area of influence we must evaluate ourselves and be honest with ourselves, we have to know that if we really have the skills to establish the negotiation relationships, if we can sell or not our own services, our products or personal brand; it is important to have this skill, and if we do not have it, we can develop it, another option can be to associate with another person who has this skill since it is very important for our business to grow.
Relationship building
Nowadays in the world of Internet, of social networks, it is important to have the ability to create connections with other people, in addition, it is important to generate confidence, and not only it is about creating these connections but also it is about maintaining these relationships, in this way, we will achieve that our business becomes sustainable in time. Likewise, if you do not have these abilities, we recommend having a partnership with a person who does have this talent.
Strategy area
This area is extremely important to achieve a profitable business; it is about having a strategic thought, here, we must develop a strategy that not only makes our business grow but also keeps it in time, in the short, medium and long term, so we will be able to position our business in the market, position ourselves as an independent professional, consultant or any person who is a specialist in a specific area and wants to bring his knowledge to the world of the Internet to live from his talent.
