- Missing growth target?
Steven here.
Trying to row a boat upstream is hard and frustrating.
No matter how hard you paddle, the current keeps pushing you back.
Business owners trying to hit their growth target through sheer force of will and discipline is also hard and frustrating.
Putting in long, exhausting hours, paddling furiously.
But the progress is slow, and success seems always just beyond the next bend.
The secret to hitting your growth target is NOT to paddle harder.
The secret is to make it as easy as possible, for you to paddle as fast as you can.
Think of it like setting your boat on a river that flows naturally towards your destination.
This doesn't mean working less.
It means working smarter by structuring your environment and business processes to naturally lead you toward hitting your growth target.
Creating a system that aligns with your goals and leverages your strengths, rather than fighting uphill battles every day.
Start by evaluating your current processes and identifying areas that feel like a constant struggle.
Is it client acquisition? Content creation? Client retention?
Then, ruthlessly and systematically redesign every area to remove friction.
For instance, if acquiring new clients feels like pulling teeth, invest in a CRM system to streamline lead management.
If content creation is the bane of your existence, batch produce content or collaborate with creators who align with your brand.
Client retention?
Maybe it’s time to stop taking money from the wrong people.
The goal is to make every step towards hitting your growth target feel as natural and effortless as possible.
By rearranging your business landscape to support your efforts naturally, you'll find that your daily tasks become more manageable
Hitting your growth target turns from “possible to hit” to “impossible to miss”.
You'll attract more clients, produce better content, and achieve your business goals faster and more efficiently than ever before.
Rooting for you,
Steven
