 The Business Growth Principle

No business have grown overnight, it is a process!
If you have made the decision to do any business, Congratulations! 
You have surpassed the greatest obstacle. But wait, after this what?
You might be asking that question, but you are in a far better position now compared to those who have not made any decision yet. You are standing on a starting point of an Entrepreneur. That is your Day 1 as shown in our image below. 


The ladder of Success 

Your direction is going upward. This is what you are going through starting from Day 1. As shown in our image below, the top part is the SUCCESS, this is your DESTINATION. There will always by a STARTING POINT and your FINAL DESTINATION. Depending on how you measure your success, the timeline may become long or short. This is where you are going to start. You need to set up a realistic goal on your SUCCESS. 

Doing Business is your journey. The more you move forward, the more you get closer to your SUCCESS. Most of the time, people are overwhelmed by their final destiny, but the real essence is in the way you travel along that journey. There is a big GAP between your starting point and your destination. As high as your DREAMS and VISIONS, you can create a segment of that  roadmap to your success by doing a consistent task everyday. This will be your daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals.  




 Imagine you are in front of a mountain. Looking at it in front view, you will see a very high top (SUCCESS). This point of view an impossible DREAM.  Although this may seem very impossible to achieve if you are looking at it this way. There will always be a good way to view things. Seeing it at a different view, we can add a timeline towards that destination.

For Example, you are traveling a 200 km distance, you can now plan for the ways and means you can get there. There are so many different options and each option can give you different solutions and a specific time frame to reach your destination. An option to take a bus, may take you 2 hours, by private car, can be less while riding a bike or walking will take you more time to reach the end.

What is important is that you know what is the level of success you are looking for. Some can be higher than what you want to achieve, and some may be lower. This is where you can check the level of what you want to achieve.

As you go along, that DREAM can change over time and as you learn to develop your process. This will then create a system where you can duplicate so that you can avoid the mistakes in the past. If you are doing it alone, you can learn to transfer the knowledge to people where you build your Team and leverage your accomplishments through the time of other people.
In Item no. 6 of the Tips mentioned above, BUILDING A STRONG TEM is your key element in achieving higher Goals. This is what our training program is aiming for you as our reader and follower. 

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT starts from you getting all the information you need and learn the process. Then develop a system that can be duplicated and delegated with people you can trust.

This will lead you to our TRAINING PROGRAM. 

Our training Program

Learn and Build is a training program that holds the principle of helping you bridge the gap between now (Day1) and your success. If you look at your time frame, your success will become more realistic because you can make a program to achieve one step at a time with your daily activities with the corresponding trainings you need. 


This image will give you clearly the path you are going to pass. There are ups and downs which is part of the PROCESS. Just keep moving forward as you learn. 

Here’s the graph of what you need to do. We have made a program to reach your SUCCESS.


The Ladder of success

Some may call it roadmap to success. In our figure above, i think it is more suitable to see our progress as a ladder or a stair. Each step of the way brings you closer to your dream. The process between now and your success are in the areas of Learning, Teaching, Delegating, Multiplying before reaching out the level of success you are aiming for. 
In terms of money, you might be wanting to achieve a $50,000 income per month, to smoe maybe $100,000 or $1M. It is all up to the person doing the business. Off course the level of commitment will be different too. If you want the biggest one you have to act fast. Meaning learn fast, work fast and work hard. As compared to the one wanting a lower value. 
Remember that DREAMS are GOALS  achieved with a specific time frame. 

Learning

Each stages you will pass needs learning. Thats why at the beginning, you need to develop a habit of learning. Most people failing in this business are those that are not in the mood of learning. Their attitude is the biggest problem. The first thing to deal with is to stay humble and teachable so you can keep learning. 
GLLA (Good Listening and Learning Attitude). 

To whom will you Learn?

To successful people. Those people that have already achieved that level of success. They are very much qualified to teach because they practiced what they preached. It is important to learn from them and follow their footsteps. 
The learning process goes up to another level which will bring one level up to your success. 

1. Learn 

Learn the skills you need to grow. Learning can be easy or difficult depending on the attitude.? If you develop an attitude of Good Listening and Learning Attitude, you can get the skills you need easily. 
 

What you need to Learn

The very first lesson you need to know is the principle of growth and the means to produce income. What will be your method to earn? There are 3 ways in 3 R principles;
  • Reseller - with products on hand, you can do the traditional method which is selling. Selling by sharing the good benefit the product you have
  • Recruiter - out of those regular buyer, you can invite those people who are interested to earn extra ny becoming a retailer. He gains commission from the product he sells
  • Retention - is the principle of keeping them and teaching them new skills. Just like you did, they are your business partner that you should retain. Teaching them is the best way to grow together. 

2. Teach

This is the second level of learning. To equip you to be able for you to teach effectively. The faster you can teach, the better but don’t be in a hurry. Some people are hard learners, some are fast learners. Keep doing the 3R principle. Establish a good number of people using your product to sustain your daily expenses. Keep looking for potential resellers and keep teaching those you that expressed interest to do the same business you are doing. This is a principle of multiplying your income in 3 ways. Master these 3 and you can reach to the next level.

3. Delegate

The delegation of work is the assurance that you get the right knowledge and pass on to the next with the same system you do. That means that you can rely on the person you are teaching so that he can teach as well. The most single proprietor business are not growing because they failed to do this stage. It will help you ease your activity but not your productivity. You will now be in a supervision stage. You get more advantage to oversee bigger things because have delegated a big task. 

4. Duplicate

This is a business of copy n paste. The reason why big businesses are getting bigger and bigger is because the are duplicated. Don’t reinvent the wheel, just follow the system, the proven system of successful people.

5. Multiply

The more you multiply your organization, the more you get bigger income. This is the stage where your earnings become unstoppable. Because your people are working just like you did.

To summarized the business Growth principle by multiplication, here’s the process;

1. I do it - You watch stage - Learning
2. I do it - You Help  stage - Teaching
3. I watch - You do it stage Delegate
4. You watch - He do it stage - Duplicate
5. He watch - He do it stage - Multiply

This is a cycle that has proven time and time again. It may seem simple but it can be complicated. With a Good listening and Learning Attitude, you ca be successful. Don’t learn the hard way, learn the smart way!

Roadmap to Success


You must define your success. 

What is your target income to measure your success? 

To some it may be earning income of $10,000 per month is already a success, or some may consider $100,000 or $1,000,000.  After defining your success level, you need to set a specific deadline to be able to challenge yourself to keep working on a target date. It may be within a year or two or 5. Again, it’s all up to you. Then we can determine;
  • What kind of work you need to do  
  • How much effort you need and 
  • What are the activities you will be doing each day to reach that goal
So in this stage, you need to write down your Goals, the level of success and prepare for Learning and Building your business. Our title Learn and Build is designed that way that you will learn the right knowledge to motivate you and the right skill to keep you moving forward. It would not be an easy job but you just need to be consistent. You may fail many times but that it's ok, it's part of the learning process to master that skills needed. 

Here are few questions you need to ask and I would suggests that you should write this in your own notepad to remind you;

Level of Success

1. What is the level of success I am looking at to consider my business successful? 
  • How much income do I need to be making? Height - means the income level you want to achieve to determine you have attained it. 
  • How many years do I need to reach that income level?  Distance - this means the length of time you will be working on it

The measurement of your success is in the achievement of your dreams into REALITY. 

Goals

1. What is your ultimate goal?
  • Personal goal - what is it that you wanted to accomplish and why are you doing this business?
  • Financial goal - How much money you need to consider quitting your job?
You can write as much as you can, these are just guide, you can improve as long as you keep SMART. 

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant/Realistic
Time Bound

You can leave this part for a while and take time to write everything you can. When you are done, you can go back here and continue learning the Skills you need to run your business successfully.

As a business owner, you need to follow a system that has already worked. There is no secret to success but there is a system. And that is what we will be talking about. 

The system or the program

There is a system that will help you run the business and grow. Each of the stages will give you a corresponding learning. 

Let’s start from your Day 1, the figure below will give you a better understanding on the 5 Skills you need to run your business successfully. Each stage is already a big success but that is just a level like going up the stairs so that at the end of the 5th skills, you are already getting more results and celebrate your success. 
Off course, depending on how big your goals are, you should match that with big effort as well. What we need to do is to make the most of your free time so that you will not interrupt your day job. Our aim is to transition you from being employed to be running a business successfully. 

The 5 Key stages for business growth

The main foundation and the backbone of the business is in the training program. Each step of the way signifies progress and its all with the solid background in LEARNING while continuously BUILDING your business. 

The five key stages are;

1. Learning
2. Teaching
3. Delegating
4. Multiplying
5. Earning and Earning Big, Bigger, Much more Bigger Income

The Law of Leverage 

The system used in this method is the same system used by successful people. It is called the “Law of Leverage” if you own a business, and want to earn bigger income you need to branch out. The more branches you have the bigger income you will have. But as a start, you need to feed your own business to grow. It will start basically with you. Alone doing multi-tasking  job. It will be hard work initially and as you grow you work smartly. There are times you need to put extra hour just to get what you are aiming for. You can earn income but it will still be small. 

The Learning process

This is where your first Skill is going to appear. Learn first before you earn. From your Day 1, you learn the skill of how to start the business therefore you made that one big success, your decision to start. The next stage of learning is the skill of how to run the business. How will you earn money as you go along with the process.

2. Leadership Skill

The attitude of a leader will vary so much with how you can become effective leader. You will progress very fast if you have that attitude of learning. This quality of learning is very true and effective when you have the GLLA qualities. Good, Listening, and Learning Attitude. 
The reason why teaching is second to the ladder of success is that, people usually get stuck with the skill 1. 
Because they have never conquered their pride. The attitude of learning is a humble gesture but as soon as you master your emotions, learning will come faster and you will have the enthusiasm to teach other people as well. The best teacher is our ability to learn. And when you learn more, you can teach more with the right attitude. 

Delegation process

Delegating the job is transferring your teaching skill to your business partner. The more you are able to transfer your skills in teaching the more you get away with multi-tasking. You are now expanding your business and were able to leverage your business. The third skill level is in the Skill of;

3. People Management Skill (HR Skill)

You will learn how to put the right people into the level of their skills and how to leverage them as well. As your business grows, the human resources grows as well so you will learn how to manage people properly. Imagine at this stage,  compared to what you are doing the first time, the same effort but in different method. Before you work hard and achieve small, at this time, the same hardship but different level of activities but your earning at this stage is bigger than it was. By this stage in time, you will be achieving something. Getting closer to your success.
