4 Business Mistakes To Avoid for Quicker Growth

Welcome to the Crystal Clear Podcast where we strive to empower the everyday creative boss to elevate and grow a business that matches your creativity and passion for creating products.

 

Things mentioned in this podcast episode:

 

We all make mistakes, and (hopefully) learn from them. Sometimes these mistakes can be avoided if we take the opportunity to learn from the mistakes of others! This is the reason it was so important to mastermind inside the Creative Boss Society. It gives you a moment to be vulnerable about potential mistakes, get feedback and insight on how we all run our business AND hear from other experts so we can recover quickly!

Continued… 

Here are four common mistakes to avoid in your business: 

  1. You’re doing “all the things,” but none of them well. As the old adage goes,”A Jack of All Trades is a Master of None.” Instead of spreading yourself thin, find your focal point.
  2. You’re not marketing enough times to get your audience to buy in and pay attention. Unfortunately, in this day and age, people tend to have shorter attention spans – but by making your product, and business, more visible in your marketing, you increase the opportunity to obtain their attention.
  3. Chasing the “next best thing” – in other words, trying to provide an additional service or build a membership instead of honing in and perfecting your current service and offer(s). Instead, take in customer and professional feedback, elaborate on your current offer(s) and find a way to make a better package. Don’t split time trying to create something else; focus first on your initial product.
  4. Becoming paralyzed and lost in your sense of direction. Lack of goals or clarity around your offer(s) and product can cause this.Take the time to brainstorm and really solidify your intent with your product.

Welcome to the Crystal Clear Podcast where we strive to empower the everyday creative boss to elevate and grow a business that matches your creativity and passion for creating products.

Things mentioned in this podcast episode:

If you don’t know a lot about my background here is a brief synopsis of what I’ve done: I spent the better part of 10 years recruiting in HR. I was like a matchmaker between employees and the companies inviting people who are the right fit for different positions. I worked hard to ensure that each recruit and each company were going to be successful in their career path, both individually and as a whole. I’ve gained the advantage of learning both perspectives of working for the company and also meeting so many wonderful people throughout the years.

I try to stay as active as I can on LinkedIn because this is where I had built up such a wonderful network of so many people. LinkedIn is a great resource for building your network and business. Don’t forget to connect with me: Crystal Hollman!

4 Tips to Help You & Your Team:
1. Encourage communication and meetings
2. Provide constructive feedback but leave room for creativity
3. Embrace their strong points and take away things that they aren’t good at
4. Uplift them with support and guidance in what they’re doing

Give authority to your team to help make decisions, this level of empowerment gives them more skin in the game to show up like you need them to.

Expanding your team can feel overwhelming as it is and this is why I step in to help other businesses get control of their content and photography without the stress of pulling together all the details themselves.

If your 2021 goals are growing your creative business and are looking for reliable content for consistent growth, let’s talk! I’ve served over 27 new product businesses alone this year in addition to my retainer clientele. Their key takeaways were being able to increase their product sales/revenue, grow their business by focusing in on sales, having better Ad conversions and more!
