176. What Should You Actually Focus on Right Now in Your Business?

from Small Business Savvy | Web Design, Systems, and Marketing · host Kristen Doyle, web design and business strategy

In this episode, I break down how to figure out exactly what you should focus on right now in your business and how it supports smarter decisions and sustainable small business growth.Let’s face it: business advice comes at us from every direction. Build an email list! Post more on social! Create a course! Redesign your website! I know just how overwhelming that can be. In this episode, we walk through a simple, practical framework to cut through the noise so you can confidently identify the next right step for your small business, instead of trying to do everything at once.We’ll talk about the four phases of small business growth, starting with building solid business systems, to honing your communication and website strategy, and then moving into simplified marketing, and finally expansion. I’ll share real-world examples (like the overworked coach who needs boundaries, not just more clients) and get honest about the mistakes so many of us make when we jump ahead before our foundation is ready. You’ll also get practical action steps to help you check in with yourself and focus on what will actually move your business forward right now. When you take time to identify what phase your business is in right now, rather than where you think it should be, you’re able to bring about the growth you want to see.01:33 – The four phases you must follow for business growth01:51 – Your core systems and communication05:39 – Marketing and expansion08:40 – Why most business owners focus on marketing before their foundation is readyLinks & Resources:Watch this episode on YouTube.Follow me on Instagram @kristendoyle.co Let's talk about your website and systems: Book a Website Gameplan Call Explore your options for working together: Web Design Services Rate & review Small Business Savvy on Apple PodcastsShow Notes: https://kristendoyle.co/episode176 Send us a text!
