What do you think you need to take your business to the next level?

I was just browsing a new social network (the Black Wepreneur Network) ... yes I join networks other than my own (lol). Anyway, there was a great question there that I couldn't resist starting on BBWO: 'What do you think you need to take your business to the next level?'...

I'm curious to hear what other sistapreneurs have to say on this topic. In all honesty, when I started out I thought I REALLY NEEDED someone to do it with me. I was afraid to do anything on my own, but lack of support eventually pushed me to do it on my own AND THOUGH I hated that I learned to be a Jackie of all trades along the way.

Alright, I'll stop here and let you chime in... -lh

p.s. Here are a few other sistas with questions:
Patricia would like to interview a Job analyst or a compensation analyst for a school project. [click here] and Melissa has a question about operating a catering food truck [click here].

p.s.s. Do you need to work on your internet marketing or increasing your sales?

Hello LaShanda,

Thanks for posing this question. It one that I have had to come to terms with big time! Here's a blog post that I'm getting ready to upload. You're getting it in advance. So you go girl!

“Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.” Proverbs 11:14

Never before have I seen so many homeless women and depressed children. Research tells us that we have matched men in stress related heart disease. Finding so much contradiction in a woman's right to choose, frankly we’re starting to look like the orient. One of the most alarming finding for me in coaching parents is how willing men are to talk about the needs of their family compared to women. The woman's gut reaction is often “This is a really a great idea that would help so and so. They know just who can use the kind of help I provide, rather than relating it to their own families.” To show you that I’m not alone in my findings watch as Amy also gets core with how our isolation as women in business leads to meltdowns. Thank God there are still a few of us who have not been lulled to sleep by our surroundings but empowered to be the heros our children need to see at home. http://www.allbusiness.com/interview/11702314-1.html

Believe well!

One key ingredient to growing your business is to network, it's important for me to keep my company name out in front. This means to me that I must provide good customer service, outstanding service and be available when and if my customers need me.

With these three ingredients, it should lead to WORD OF MOUTH advertisement and if I incorporate this with marketing campaigns I feel that I can take my business to the next level.
