If you are someone that has a big vision for your business, I want to share some tips to grow your business, as well as the 3 things that you must do differently in order to be successful.

Vanessa Shaw here, your Business Growth Mentor with the answers to your questions regarding growing your small business.

3 Tips to Grow Your Business

The first thing you must do differently - you've got to be more visible! I see so many small business owners hiding out. They get stuck in the weeds of their business. Nobody knows they exist. They just become the world's best-kept secret.

You've got to be more visible. There are so many different opportunities for that to happen. Whether that's attending events, conferences, where you can get in a conversation with people. Or online. Social media, videos - there are so many different platforms. You must be seen and more visible if you want to grow your business more rapidly.

The second thing you must do differently - you have to learn to implement quickly.
One of the biggest thing that is going to slow you down is procrastination.
Perfectionism - overly polishing things. Trying to get everything right and perfect before you launch or before you start to speak to people about your products and services.
It's all about quick implementation. That is the recipe for success and rapid growth in your business.

And why is that?
You are going to learn quickly and you can course-correct. We actually learn by our failures and mistakes more rapidly than our successes.

The third thing you must do is get out of your own way. Stop thinking that you can answer all of your questions.
Successful people in business surround themselves with other successful business owners. They ask questions, they admit that they don't have all the answers, and they are not afraid to be vulnerable. They share what’s working and what's not working.
