Your unique value proposition (UVP) is what separates you from every other similar business or practice. It is why people will want to give YOU their hard-earned money.

Our clients’ businesses have grown over 42% this year and we couldn’t be more proud of each and every one of them! This article will distill down the steps that you can take right now so you can experience tremendous growth in your business or practice too. Here is the great news…the action steps are not difficult! These are the actual step and topics that we have taught some our most successful clients.

1. Identify your purpose. If you are in business or in a professional practice to just to “make money” then good luck. Look at any successful business on the planet. Walmart, Target, Ford, etc. It became successful because it fixed a problem, enhanced lives, or did something better or cheaper than a competitor. Making money is the by-product of a good business not the reason to enter the business. Your purpose, mission and vision will help you identify your reason for getting up everyday and staying with your business even when things get rough. Your action step is to create your vision, mission, and purpose statements.
2. A goal by definition is a wish or a dream with a timeline around it and appropriate action steps. I want to earn $5 million dollars this year is a wish not a goal. So many clients when they first begin coaching with me make this mistake which costs them tremendous opportunity. Every September through December we go through a formal goal setting process. The process leaves our clients with a literal 365 day marketing calendar that, if the action steps are actually done; it is virtually impossible not to grow your business or practice. Goals can be created anytime of the year, however make September-December your new ritual going forward. Your action step is to create meaningful goals complete with timelines and action steps.
3. Your unique value proposition (UVP) is what separates you from every other similar business or practice. It is why people will want to give YOU their hard-earned money. Our clients learn early on how to create a UVP and use it effectively in all of their marketing campaigns. Your action step is to create your UVP.
4. Throwing crap up aganst the wall and hoping something will stick is tactical-based marketing. The problem is tactical-based marketing hasn’t been effective since the late 1990’s. A strategist will slaughter a tactition every single time. Our clients learn the art and science of strategic-based marketing and their growth proves it. Your action step is to create a minimum of five stategic-based campaigns.
5. Knowing what marketing techniques work in which part of the economic cycle is imperative to your spending your marketing dollars wisely; and getting a great return on investment. The buying funnel has been around since the late 1800’s. The buying funnel is based on economic cycles not guesswork. When you understand how to use the buying funnel you will waste fewer marketing dollars and boost your returns. Your action step is learn more about the buying funnel and how it can be applied to your marketing strategies.

Uncertainty is not the friend of small businesses. As a matter of fact business hates uncertainty; just look at what the stock market or bond market does in uncertain times; they usually tank. This article is being written on October 25, 2016. In thirty years from now when somebody is reading this ancient blog, the same principles that I am going to discuss will be relevent.

Economic principles do not change; only the days and years change. Let’s get to it. At present there is major uncertainty in the United States and the world at large. We have a presidential election that will be decided in two weeks. No matter who wins, Trump or Clinton there will be great uncertainty in the air.

• Who will be appointed to the supreme court?
• What will happen with Isis?
• What about race relations in our country?
• How much will taxes go up or down?
• Will they raise the capital gains Tax?
• Will they tax imports?
• Will legalized marijuana lead to more traffic fatalities?
• What about health insurance? As of this writing premiums are anticipated to rise double digits?
• Inflation anyone?
• Are you now certain that there is much uncertainty in the world?

What do have people always done and what will people continue to do in times of uncertainty? They hunker down and don’t spend money unless it is absolutely necessary.

So how do you grow a business in uncertain times?

1. Get more exposure-market “harder and smarter” don’t cut advertising
2. Get organized-you cannot afford not to get a full sixty minutes out of every hour
3. Create written goals complete with meaningful action steps
4. Look for opportunity. Is this a good time to acquire your competition? Remember when the stock market crashes it is usually a great time to buy not sell
5. Don’t fire your advisers. Their advice is needed most when things are bad. It keeps you from making emotional decisions
6. Think outside the box. Utilize strategic-based marketing that will allow you to harness the power of scientific marketing
7. Hire a business coach to guide you and hold you accountable. Your coach will help you create or maintain a steady course that will help you achieve your goals faster than you could on your own. Just look at the show Shark Tank. These entrepreneurs get backing and coaching that enable them to break-through to heights they only dreamed of achieving
8. Accountability is crucial in tough times. Can you imagine how your business would be if you only implemented half of the great ideas that you had this year?
9. Work on your head space. If your head space is stressed, confused, afraid and uncertain it will be difficult to grow your business
10. Train your staff. You cannot afford to lose any prospects because of poor training of staff.

If you still feel that you are struggling, you will be thrilled to know that Dr. Paul S. Inselman, CEO of Creativecoachingllc.net  has formulated a specific step by step process that will help you to become a more powerful business leader.
