This month is a fantastic opportunity to propel your business plans, enjoy some holiday time or try something different to change your energy, and see what new results you can achieve.
Here are 3 proven ways to grow your business in August:
① Reconnect and Network in a Different Environment
Although many networking groups have paused events this month, connecting with your peers and network remains important.
⛱ Meet up in a different environment: Somewhere new brings new energy and sparks new conversations and interests. Go to the beach together, an art gallery, a new restaurant, or put on your trainers, and with your headphones in, go for a ‘walk and talk’. Take in the fresh air, and new sights, and you’ll feel great when you return to your desk.
👩🏽Online networking: Look at LinkedIn and use your networking time online.
Reach out to an old contact, join a new group or community to see what they’re discussing, or one of my favourites, schedule a casual catch-up call with someone and see how they are after all these months. Time flies!
② Get Creative
Is there something you’d love to do or a project you’ve been putting off? Now might be the perfect time to dive in and start as you may have more time for your business or hobbies this month.
✍🏼 Whether it’s writing a book, blog, journaling, or painting, let your creativity flow.
💻 Or maybe you’ve been thinking of launching a new product or service, and need to update your website.
💥 Starting new projects, learning a new skill, and stepping outside your comfort zone boosts confidence, and creativity and re-ignites your passion.
I love working with my clients to refresh their websites if you’d like any help?
From getting your ideas and structure ready to brief your designer (or my developer, Lisa) to helping with copywriting Blogs, Service pages, About Me pages, or Sign-Ups etc, we will focus on enhancing the customer journey to go from browser to customer quicker!
⓷ Invest in Self-Care
🌱New beginnings aren’t just for work. Investing in your well-being is crucial and becomes more important as the years go on!
❓What have you been saying you ‘should’ do or to make more impact, what you ‘want‘ to do this month?
Maybe trying new recipes, a different way of exercising, or having some social media downtime? Now’s the time to try it this month. Do it once. Then do it again next week. And repeat as needed each week and see how you feel by September.
Have a wonderful month ahead.
Enjoy doing things differently to see what happens!
