A growth mindset will accelerate growth in profitable revenues, create more cash and an increase in the enterprise value of your business.
Common growth problems in business
Business growth is about increasing market share, onboarding and retaining more clients than before and implementing strategies that set your business apart. Your competitor landscape is always evolving and changing, so it’s essential over the long term that you stay relevant and valued by your customers.
Low Value Leads
Burning cash attracting the wrong client base, wasting time with low value enquiries
Squeezed Margins
Competitors are cutting prices, labour and materials are on the up, we struggle to get our customers to pay more
Flat or Shrinking Sales
Revenues are under threat, profits and surplus cash are disappearing, we are unsure of what to do next to turn this around
Confusing Numbers
Lacking systems and processes, it takes ages to get reports and essential numbers to run the business. And you are not sure if your strategies are effective.
Scarce Labour Resources
Demand for your products and services are rising rapidly, but we can’t find enough labour to meet the demand
Losing Customers
Losing customers undoes all the hard work of finding them, and to achieve sales growth, we are always having to add more and more customers
Do you know which numbers guarantee growth in business?
As business people, we all love growing sales, it’s exciting. But sales are not always profitable – when revenue growth rates exceed 30%, our business model (gross profit margins) may not match our cash needs to fund growth and lifestyles.
If cash is always tight, perhaps your business lacks the visibility on critical numbers and knowing which number drives which cash outcome.
We can run out of cash because of the increased investment in the working capital cycle (stock and debtors). Or perhaps we need to find people who are is short supply or they become more expensive to hire – our payroll costs go up before we convert these added costs into cash in our bank account.
Critical information, to make the right strategic decisions, can’t be stuck in your head or indeed, if the data has not even been captured at all.

My Business Brain™ is the framework I have created using my years in business. The framework is central to every successful business story.
- Uncover the 'Secret Sauce'My Business Brain TM helps businesses uncover their “secret sauce” and how you can generate value where others don’t, how positioning your business within the competitive landscape is such a powerful tool, and why systems and processes are the only way to leverage a business that wants to grow.
- Develop a Growth MindsetGrowth mindset businesses first need to truly understand everything about their preferred or ideal customers, how the think, why they buy, what the differences are in wants and aspirations, and the emotions and facts that stop them choosing you as the seller.
- Beat Your CompetitionCompetition is also a constant, and markets evolve over time, so change is never far away. So, attracting customers itself is a competition and learning to differentiate your business is a learned skill that I show business owners how to stand out.
- Don’t Burn CashBusiness can spend a lot of cash attracting customers but it is easy to burn cash doing so if we don’t have a customer retention strategy. Let me help you celebrate you happy customers and how to leverage their experiences for sales growth.
