Growth

You’re closing more. Why doesn’t it feel like growth?

Define what growth should give you before deciding how to pursue it.

Define what growth should give you before deciding how to pursue it.

Define the outcome

Growth can mean more production. It can also mean stronger margins, better support, more capable people or a business that makes fewer demands on one person.

Be specific about what you want your next chapter to change.

Examine the constraint

Once the outcome is clear, look at what is preventing it. More leads may not solve an unclear handoff. Another hire may not solve a responsibility nobody has defined.

Identify the constraint before choosing the tool, person or program.

Build toward the life and business you want—not just the next production number.

Choose one useful move

Turn the decision into an action you can own and review. What will you do, by when, and what will tell you whether it helped?

Progress becomes easier to assess when your actions connect to an outcome you have actually defined.

Put it to work

One useful step this week.

  1. Identify one challenge this perspective brings to mind.
  2. Write down the outcome you want and what is getting in the way.
  3. Choose one action, give it an owner and set a review point.
Make it useful in your business
