BUSINESS SUCCESS
is as simple as baking a cake!
In 8 years as a business coach, it has surprised me how many brilliant business owners who have taken the risk to set up a business, deliver amazing products and services to their customers and provide jobs for the community, yet are still struggling to make a significant profit or have the time to really enjoy life.
Guess what! The secret to running a successful business is not a secret
Just like there is no secret to the perfect Beef Stroganoff, Rogan Josh or Victoria Sponge cake. There are hundreds of recipe books showing you how to do it.
Each may have a slightly different angle, a tweak to the ingredients, preparation or cooking method, but they all say basically the same thing.
You can guess and learn through trial & error, but if you want to succeed, then following the recipe is a simple way to get a great result.
It is the same with building a successful business. This has been done many times before and the recipe has been written down in countless books for us to follow. What was the last book you read that helped you improve your business? What is the next one…?
