Who Is Holding Your Business Back?
If you would like to see your business grow, improving your turnover and profits, you will first need to consider what is stopping you from growing, or who is standing in the way of your progress. This can be a tricky question to face, since the answers may be uncomfortable to hear, but being open and honest with yourself and your team is the only way to develop and move forwards.
Time Management: The Key To Productivity
Could your business perform better? Would increasing your productivity allow your output, and your profits, to increase? If you’ve answered yes to either of these questions, it may be a good idea to consider developing your time management skills.
Everything we do influences our productivity and our time management skills affect our entire lives.

positive business employees
Whatever you are hoping to achieve in life, whether on a personal or a business level, surrounding yourself with positive people is a vital step that can help and inspire you in your efforts. Creating a network of people that encourage you to perform at your best does not have to be a difficult task, but it can help to have a few ideas in mind to grow and make use of the network of positive people in your life.
Developing A Growth Mindset
If you want to grow your business, a business growth specialist can help you to identify areas for development and create strategic plans to bring these into your organisation. The concept of a growth mindset can be a very helpful idea to understand, offering a new way to frame attitudes and behaviours within the workplace.
Are You Holding Your Business Back?
If you look ahead, five years into the future, for example, the ideal scenario is that you have a positive image of how your business will look, and a clear and strategic plan for how to make this happen. If you do not feel confident that you can achieve your goals, or you are not sure how to formulate a watertight strategic plan, it’s time to ask yourself why not.
What Makes A Good Leader?
All businesses require strong leadership, but what makes a good leader? What qualities do you need in order to lead your organisation towards the next level of success? An effective enterprise, with a staff team who are engaged and committed to progress, will always have a good leader at the helm. Learning to identify a potential leader of this type, or to become one yourself, requires an understanding of the way in which leadership strategy works, and an appreciation of the skills and attributes that enable effective leadership.
Building Your Business Through Employee Engagement
Whatever the nature of your business, your employees are the cogs that allow the whole machine to function, and it is they who will make the difference between a business that functions satisfactorily, and one that is exceptional. Employee engagement is a concept that is crucial to business development, and it is easy to see that without engaged employees, your business will suffer.
New Generation Leadership: Transformation
Transformation is crucial if you want to take your business to the next level, and it’s all about seeing your situation from a different perspective, seeing past the issues that have kept you in practices that do not serve you or your business.
The simple truth is that you cannot expect to grow your business from a distance. Seeing yourself and your integrity as separate from your business means that you restrict your potential to develop yourself as a leader, and so restrict your own abilities to lead towards more successful outcomes.
Capacity for Change: Developing the Mindset
It is clear that real, sustainable growth cannot happen if we do not have the capacity to change, but what happens if we are not choosing to make the most of this capacity?
Many traditional leaders express frustration that micro-managing individuals is exhausting and stressful work. I believe that this sort of rigid attitude to controlling every aspect of how things ‘should’ be reduces the capacity of each individual to grow and change, and this can only result in an enterprise that is, itself, unable to grow.
