MY BIGGEST MISTAKES IN BUSINESS
We all start businesses and figure stuff out along the way. These lessons cost us time and money. The biggest problem with this is your DNA is embedded into your foundation and if set up badly, often it costs you five times more to undo the mistakes.
If I look back at the stupid mistakes I made in:
- my strategies
- online marketing
- my partnerships
- my investments
- my set ups
- my systems..
I almost want to cry just thinking about it. 3 years ago I took a brave step and went abroad looking for new ideas, new concepts and to find out what makes a business highly successful.
What struck me was how different they are. They're highly successful but what they do will not work in SA. We are different!!!
I did however realise, I had to change. I had to make the decision to unwind my existing businesses and change them. I learned a concept called Intentional Congruence which has changed everything. Now I design my businesses totally differently.
I travelled to Australia, Europe, USA, England and realised something. I'm a South African business owner and we do things differently here.
So now when I teach what I've learned, I can immediately see the lights come on in the eyes of those learning from me. We speak the same language.
At my event in ONE WEEK'S time, I'm teaching what works for me right now. No fancy powerpoint, no overview content that means nothing but rather the facts of succeeding in SA. I will be teaching:
- how to find customers specific to your industry
- how to eliminate time wastage with clients
- how to segment your client base and open selling opportunities
- how to build the x 6 funnel system
- how to maximise online strategies
- how to build your brand
- how to set up your automation systems
