How to Stay in Business for a LONG Time

Do you want to know how to stay in business for a really long time?

I was asked to share answers to this very important question to a very creative group -SE MI Entrepreneurs Association.
There were several generations in workplace represented in the packed room.

SE MI Entrepreneurs Association is designed to help members grow their business.
They provide training, network opportunities, information and valuable resources.

ZaLonya Allen, PhD is the Executive Director and did an excellent job letting the community know about this important event.

Here are the main points that I covered:

• Learn from your mistakes and hopefully you wont repeat them.
• “Failure is never final and success does not last forever.”
• Be creative during slow times.  Take advantage of this time to write articles, contact former clients or re brand
• Ask yourself the important question…Who is my client?  Stay focused and service to that market.
• Don’t scatter yourself too thin by attempting to service to everyone.
• Make smart financial decisions when hiring consultants and make sure to check on references.  (It is amazing how many
  people in the audience shared horror stories on this one!)
• We are never there.  Continuous learning is constant and exciting.
• Take time to re brand every few years to stay current and fresh.
• Build relationships before asking for referrals or favors.
• Learn skills in leadership consulting to get and give respect.
• Constantly improve communication skills. Please let me know if you want me to share more ideas with you on this topic.

Remember to run away from energy vampires.
There are many possibilities.
We need to see them…believe me you will find them.
Make sure to run away from those telling you that there is no business anymore.
