Improving your Business

Now that you have your One-Dad Business started, there are three major areas in your business that deserve your attention:

  1. Get more customers, aka. Marketing
  2. Keep clients for longer, aka. Improve your offer
  3. Grow the capacity, aka. Build better systems to scale

Breaking these down, those areas are:

  • Better Marketing
  • Better Business
  • Better Offer

There are three aspects that will help you scale:

  • Better Marketing is working FOR your business.
  • Better Business is working ON your business.
  • Better Offer is working IN your business.

To grow your One-Dad Business, you have only three core parts. You can still do them yourself, improve your systems, find tools to help, or hire freelancers or employees.

This is done to make better use of the resources or to get more resources.

In the end, there are only four parts to growing your business:

  • Code, Content, Capital, Collaboration.

You can use these four to get better.

I know that some of you might be interested in growing their business to have even more time for the family. Some of you still enjoy pushing the business more to its limits.

That’s why I’m talking about better.

Improving the business is always about the course, intent, and ambition.

This is what agency is about.

Your improvement can be to have more ease or faster growth.

One thing I do need to say:

There is never standstill.

A business that doesn’t grow is a dying business.

You got this, brother!

  • It All Comes Back to Communication

    Greetings Reader, Over the weekend I had a few chats with a friend on the effects of AI. We will be in for a ride. Sure the opportunities are endless. It will get stronger and better, but it also feels like we’re losing more and more the human touch. I’m trying to figure out how to talk about business without touching the subject of AI. The development is just so much faster than I anticipated. I’ve been in this space now since the launch of GPT 3,5. And it’s been a wild ride. I can promise…

  • The Three Models That Help You Move Fast

    Greetings Reader, Last night I spoke with a lot of Founders at a local event. There is one pattern that kept coming up. I’m planning this. I’m waiting on this. I haven’t gotten the feedback yet. All those statements are holding your business back. They will lock and keep you stuck, because you gave the power to act away. Over the past years I’ve tried to study the greed and there are three models that help you move fast. Urgency is the mover. Urgency means to just close the gap between…

  • The Fight Between Persuasion and Manipulation

    Greetings Reader, Recently I did a deep dive into the world of communication. There are generally two different skillsets to communication. One is the personal communication. Your journal to your dinner table conversation. When we enter the arena of public communications we have a lot of traditions. We have the historic school of the Orator – aka. Speaker. Over the centuries we have seen a specialization. The speaker was trained in propaganda. The Art of public persuasion. After the second…

  • The Hidden Truth Behind Consistency (not many know)

    The first advice people will hear is to be consistent. Post daily. Stick to your schedule. Be consistent. Most give this advice without giving you the understanding of why it matters. “When everybody is consistent, I’m not able to stand out.” That’s what I often hear as a response. “I need to focus on my quality, since everybody is focused on quantity.” This is also a false belief. Since you don’t even know what quantity is. So back to the advice to be consistent. Most people that try…

  • You Won’t Have Time “Someday”

    I’ve thought about this a lot. We often take our life and the time we have for granted. How often do I catch myself with a thought of:“Someday I’ll do this” or“When I have time, I’ll get to it.” Those are statements that make us feel good because we didn’t say no to it — and we still believe that we will get there. But the reality is: We don’t magically get more time. And we also don’t know how much time we have left in our life. My mom dreamed of retirement. Yet God has called her home by…
