Do you have all the business you could possibly want or need? If you're like me,
you're still growing your business. Marketing is an ongoing item on my agenda, and
I'm always looking for new ways to market my services. Where do you begin the
process of attracting more business? How do you get the ball rolling in the
direction you want your business to be heading? Well, it's really simple. Start
planting seeds! If you can start your garden growing this spring, why not start
your business growing too?

You can start by telling everyone what you do, including those people in your life
you see every day. Talk to your hairdresser, dentist, financial advisor, or
babysitter. You just never know who they might know who may want or need your
products or services. Leave business cards with those people, so they can hand them
out to others who may be interested in contacting you. That old saying that
includes the line "the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker" may just ring
true after all.

Plant seeds everywhere you go. Typical ways to market your business are fine, but
the best way is by simply using word-of-mouth. "Who do you know..." can be a very
powerful statement when you are talking to others about what you do or what you
sell. Let your presence be known. Be creative! I have a Team 100 list of the top
professionals I know. When someone either in my professional circle or my personal
circle is looking for a particular service, I'm able to refer them to someone I
know and trust. All of the professionals on my list are able to refer me to those
they know as well. It's a win/win situation. My name is on their list, their name
is on mine, so the seed has been planted, and keeps growing.

These are just a couple of great ideas to help you get started in growing your
business (if you want more business that is!). Taking some small action every day
is better than doing nothing at all. Following a simple action plan consistently
will most likely lead to several great opportunities down the road. Who knows? If
you put in the effort, you just may find new business knocking on your door instead
of the other way around.

Spring into action...and watch your business grow by leaps and bounds!
