Three Tips to Boost Your Business

Most entrepreneurs feel overwhelmed by what they have to do and the little amount of time they have
to do it in. 

There are three strategies you can use – simple things you can do each week, in less than an hour, that will help you become a better, stronger business leader.

Call a Client

E-mail is a great vehicle for communication, however, there is real value in picking up the phone.  In less than 15 minutes, every week, you can call a client.

Read Trade Publications

Every business market has trade publications or a website that covers your market; most big markets have more than one.  Devote 20 minutes a week to read through it and find out what the key players in your trade are up to.

Close your door

One of the few things every entrepreneur agrees on is that the demands of leading a business can be stressful.  While there is value in having a literal open door policy at work, try closing it for 15 minutes a week. 

A successful entrepreneur must be a finisher.  To get things done requires focus.  Unplug for a while – turn off the phone and stay away from e-mail and you’ll regain focus and clarity.
