By\u00a0Maura Vella, guest blogger and business advisor at\u00a0<\/span><\/i>Cultivate Advisors<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0and co-owner of\u00a0<\/span><\/i>105F Hot Yoga & Pilates<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Running a small business\u00a0for 15 years, I\u2019ve seen it all.\u00a0Ups, downs, and even a pandemic thrown into the mix.\u00a0Despite being knocked down, I always get up again.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the course of one year, I was able to earn a 1,000% profit increase to create a seven-figure business. It\u2019s experiences like this one that empower me to help others succeed. Here are 10 things I learned over the course of my most successful year of massive growth in my business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Don\u2019t be afraid to take a step back<\/h2>\n

In the past, I felt way too busy, like I was just trying to keep my head above water. I was living in the sink-or-swim mentality.\u00a0I needed to find work-life balance. When I did, not only did I find joy in my life, but\u00a0my business\u00a0grew as well. At the end of the day,\u00a0finding the courage to take a step back was\u00a0what I truly needed for my business to take that next step.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Learn how to understand your finances<\/h2>\n

Amazing things happen when you make your finances a priority. I always review and reflect on\u00a0the\u00a0financials and key metrics\u00a0in my business. This allows me to identify growth opportunities and trends\u00a0to help plan and forecast for the future.\u00a0Yes, sales are important, but I needed to consider other factors like class attendance and lifetime client value if I wanted to see the entire picture of my business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Lead generation is only the first step<\/h2>\n

Attracting leads and\u00a0generating\u00a0interest in your business is an important part of your marketing strategy, but it shouldn\u2019t\u00a0be your only avenue of awareness.\u00a0Nurturing your leads through\u00a0social media and other communication methods\u00a0will help you convert\u00a0them into paying clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Sales isn\u2019t sleazy, it\u2019s education<\/h2>\n

Why does sales get a bad\u00a0rep?\u00a0The sales process is our opportunity as small business owners to educate leads and potential clients\u00a0about our business and answer their questions. When\u00a0I shifted from\u00a0a\u00a0salesy mentality to an educational mindset, my clientele really benefited and truly understood how we could help them reach their health goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Create an authentic client journey<\/h2>\n

I learned that it\u2019s not just about the sale, it\u2019s what comes after. It\u2019s about relationship-building, becoming part of a community, and achieving a goal together.\u00a0But\u00a0this doesn\u2019t happen overnight. To get there,\u00a0you need to develop authentic messaging that\u2019s on brand and weaves into the fabric of your business\u2019s culture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Developing systems is the easiest way to scale up<\/h2>\n

Creating systems has allowed me to determine what actions work, what needs work, and what can be replicated and executed each day. As a result, I can train my staff members to perform\u00a0<\/span>tasks within the system that have already proven to be successful. This way, everything gets done a lot quicker than if I attempted the task myself. As a result, I see the growth in my business I’m looking for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Empowering my team was needed to support the company\u2019s vision<\/h2>\n

You can\u2019t grow your business alone. That\u2019s why I empower my team by communicating their value to my business. As a result, they become open to expressing their concerns and sharing insights <\/span>that have\u00a0a greater impact on the company and our clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Aligning myself with an experienced business advisor was one of my most important investments<\/h2>\n

Having a business advisor by my side was by far the most important investment I\u2019ve made for the growth of my business. It allows me to learn a different perspective, while establishing my goals, growing my skills,\u00a0and\u00a0achieving my\u00a0vision\u00a0quicker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Delegate tasks to my team<\/h2>\n

I used to believe that doing everything myself was somehow powerful and admirable. In truth, when I gave myself permission to delegate tasks to others, everything changed for the better. Not only had I reduced stress and burnout, but I expanded my potential and achieved more as a result. I also found greater satisfaction when everything didn\u2019t depend on me, and it still got done!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Cultivating profits can lead to more freedom and time for myself<\/h2>\n

When I did all the work and built a strong foundation, not only did I make more money, but I had more freedom and time for myself. With so much time, I decided to share my extra time with other business owners who also crave growth and change. That\u2019s why I became a small business advisor at Cultivate Advisors. Now through data, not guesswork, I\u2019m able to create financial freedom for others. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BONUS\u00a0TIP: Grow your business with the right business management software<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Like I said earlier, you can\u2019t do it alone. You need a team to help, which should include an all-in-one business management software. After all, there\u2019s a lot to manage, and that\u2019s where WellnessLiving comes in with an affordable, user-friendly, and customer-focused solution. <\/span>From automated marketing<\/a> and class booking software<\/a> to scheduling features, a customer reviews tool<\/a>, and mobile apps, the WellnessLiving platform has everything you need to grow your business.\u00a0Interested in learning more?
