How to grow your business:

You get a new customer - now what?
You offer them value and invite them back.....

💰You have spent the money on marketing and aquisition - now the most cost effective thing for your business is to keep that customer- or thier friends.

I recently purchased a part for my old car - I had never shopped at Automotive Superstore before.

And in the box is - just a thanks and $10 off the next purchase

And a voucher for Naked Wines Australia
With codes so they can track the effectiveness of the campaign.
Its simple and smart.

❓️What is something simple you can do to invite people back to your business?

❓️Who could you partner with to grow your business together?

🎉You dont have to be a superstore or national business to do the same.

What does w**e have to do with cars? Nothing.

Think outside the box - how could you do this for yourself?.

Celebrate the wins!

When it feels like you are fighting a loosing battle - you can still find a reason to Celebrate.

💯In fact it is more important than ever to go looking for the wins.

Small business has taken a hammering this year:
🧐Policy change upon change
🧐Energy prices
🧐Cost of living pressure

Now you get what you focus on - so playing the long game is the strategy for this environment

💯Celebrate the wins
💯Concentrate on what you can control
💯Never waste a good crisis

About 45% of small business owners have considered or are considering leaving their business in the next year.....

Thats a big number.

⚠️And the squeeze continues......
⚠️More minimum costs for Uber Drivers
⚠️Interest rate hike quite probable at the next review...
⚠️Energy prices looking to carry on the upward trend

Mindset and numbers are the two areas that get us through times like this.

🤯The problem is not Permanent
🤯The problem is not Pervasive eg everywhere....
🤯The problem is not Personal....

Knowing where your profit comes from is more important now than ever.
Are you flying blind with your numbers?

I had a great discussion with Lee Dixon on 7BU - Burnie's Best Mix 7AD - Devonport’s Best Mix about not making Permanent decisions based on temperary problems.....


14/09/2026

🧨Over 1/3 of small business owners have considered pulling the pin in the next 12 months.

Thats a crazy statistic

💣The war in Iran and energy prices
💣a wave of taxes and red tape
💣Pay day super, merchant fee changes effecting cashflow...

☑️The list goes on and hasnt finished yet with interest rate hikes on the horizon....

📻 Tommorow on 7BU - Burnie's Best Mix
and 7AD - Devonport’s Best Mix Ill be talking to Lee Dixon about all these pressures, but importantly how to over come them, the mindset and practical tools that will see you through

🧐And - not to make permanent decisions based on temporary problems.

Tune in around 11:45 tuesday

🤯Here are 5 things to beat overwhelm.....

1. If you are in your head you are dead -  Write it all down, make a plan, make a map – get everything out of your head and onto the planet. Share the load. 

2. Pick what actually matters - urgent doesn’t always mean important.

3. Choose ONE thing – We constantly rank priorities in our head - what one problem, that if you fix, the others will dissapear?

4. Make it smaller - problems are big because we think in pictures. "This is a big problem= I am manifesting a big problem" how can you make it smaller? 

5. Can you Do it, Delegate it, Defer it or Delete it.... 

💯Strategy eats overwhelm for breakfast.

What a power station burning down can teach us about systems....

Tommorow on 7AD - Devonport’s Best Mix and 7BU - Burnie's Best Mix I am going to catch up with Lee Dixon about systems, and why it is important to understand how your business actually operates

❓️Do you have a fail safe?
❓️What hapoens if you lose a key person, or peice of equipment
❓️Who does systems the best

Tune in tommorow and have a listen

5️⃣Five beliefs that I hear business owners and employees say that keep businesses smaller than they could be:

1. “If I want it done properly, I have to do it myself.”
❓️Could you build a business that can do it without you?

2. “More sales and customers will fix the problem.”
📈Scaling without knowing your margins can make the problem bigger.

3. “My customers won't pay more.”
🤯Have you asked them? or did you decide for them?

4. “Good staff should just know what to do.”
🔍Often what's missing isn't a better person. It's clarity.

5. “I just need to work harder to get ahead”
🥵Hard work gets you to one level, but does not scale.

The biggest prpblem with our beliefs is - we believe them

"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." Leo Tolstoy

People will forget what you say
But theyll never forget how you made them feel....

🥚One thing I noticed on a trip back to New Zealand early in the year - the checkout operator checked my eggs to make sure there were no broken ones

6 months on - I still remember that.

It showed me the value of me as a customer was greater than the transaction.

Its a great learning for business.
Business strategy is about value, and how much value you can create

If you were to know - what small action could you add to your interactions, that could create lasting value, and repeat customers?

Taking the complex and making it simple...

🤯The unconscious mind can only process so much at a time.

You built a business - scaled, and the systems in your head scaled with it.

It is a sense of relief I we witness when someone gets all that out of their head and can see it on paper....

And then the real growth can begin.

☎️If you would like to take the next step to growth without scaling chaos - get in touch

😬One in Three business owners do not know if they made a profit or not last month.....

Gross profit per invoice leads to gross profit by day, week, month and year.

And why is Gross Profit important?

Because whats left from GP is what pays your bills.
🧐Do you experience lumpy cashflow
🧐Dipping in and out of overdraft
🧐Snatching cash from the tax account to pay the wages

🔍You may have a visibility problem
In that you have no visibility over where your profit actually comes from.

The fix is pretty simple. Analyse the last product you sold - like sit down and really think about ALL the costs associated with it. And start there.

🤥You may be surprised

I had a good time chatting on 7BU - Burnie's Best Mix
7AD - Devonport’s Best Mix about exactly that. Ill drop the full episode soon 😁
