In order to run a successful business, you need to plan a careful strategy. Every entrepreneur, business idea, and small shop is different and requires a lot of trial and error in order to see what works, what doesn’t, and what will make you stronger for future growth. 

Take a second to think about your strengths and pain points of your business. What are your goals? 

When you’re working towards meeting your business goals, it can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone - check out our top 5 ways to build a better business based on advice from tried and true small business entrepreneurs. 

1. Efficiency is key:

Take a long hard look at your business operations- even if you think 

something is working, it’s time for an honest audit. What processes can be streamlined? What services should be outsourced for maximum efficiency? Is there a different way you can manage your operations? 

2. Learn on-the-go:

While there are lots of great options for small business classes, the 

best way to learn to build your business is by jumping in there and just doing. While there is merit in research and listening to what others say, trust your instincts as a business owner. Don’t be afraid of failure - it will ultimately teach you about your business. 

3. Think on-demand:

In order for your business to grow, you must keep up with the quick pace of our increasingly on-demand world. Some ways to meet these demands include:

• Be attentive to your clients and respond timely to their preferred form of communication 
  
• Have a social media strategy 

4. Listen to your employees:

Your employees know your business in a way you may never 

know or experience it - use this to your advantage. You can’t make your customers 

happy if your employees aren’t happy, so start being more employee-centric. Some ways you can do this include: 

• Have an open line of communication for employees to ask their questions and safely  raise concern 
• Encourage feedback - and then respond thoughtfully to it 
• Make one-on-one appointments to make employees feel heard, important, and empowered 

In turn these will help you build a better business. 

5. Transparency and honesty are key:

As business owners, we’re going to make mistakes; we’re going to fail. It’s how you turn around and handle these situations that will define you and allow you to grow. Be completely honest with yourself, to your employees, and all stakeholders; you’re all on the same team and will work together for the betterment of your business if you’re on the same page and can work together for improvement.
