Listen "How Growing a Business is Like Raising a Puppy [The 5 Stages of Online Biz] [Ep. 39]"
Episode Synopsis
Are you wondering if you're doing the right things in your business? Do you know what stage of business you're in? Knowing where you are helps you make good decisions, and waste less time and money. One of the biggest issues I see happening in the online world is business owners trying to do the right thing at the wrong time. For example, maybe you're trying to run FB ads before you test your offer to a warm audience. Or maybe you're trying to run a webinar before having an email list up and running. Perhaps you're diving into growing on 4 different social media platforms before you're generating revenue with your offers. What happens when we try to do something that doesn't line up with our stage of business? We don't see the results that we're hoping for. First let me say, this is totally normal. I have done it and most everyone I know has done it, too. But when you have a better understanding of the stages of online business and where your focus should be during each stage, you will be less likely to get distracted and waste time on things that are not for you right now. I'm going to give you an overview of the stages and in next week's episode, I'll talk about general guidelines for where to focus in each stage.
