3 Secrets To Setting Reasonable Expectations For Business Growth

Rome wasn't built in a day" How many times have you heard that saying

. The same goes for building a business. It takes time to nurture a business and build a buzz that will get you to your goals. Setting unrealistic expectations can be very damaging to your culture and momentum because you will believe you are failing. Worse, your staff will believe they are failing and morale will decline resulting in poor performance, resulting in bad customer service and eventually resulting declining profits. Be realistic in your expectations and work to create a positive energy that will permeate through your business and attract customers like a magnet.

Secret # 1 Be Flexible in Your Strategy

Knowing exactly what you want should be firm but your strategy should be flexible. Unsuccessful businesses do not have a flexible strategy, they often move along on autopilot doing the same things over and over again and again the same way expecting different results. What's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Some managers run staff meetings the same way over and over again, expecting different results, some associates talk to their customers the same way, expecting different results, some people communicate the same way to their boss, or peers the same way over and over again, expecting different results. A flexible strategy allows you to move along your plan making adjustments to what is not working, but always keeping your target firm.

Secret # 2 Be Consistent and Clear in Your Communications

Through this consistent application of good, solid but strategic hard work coupled with positive energy and commitment towards reaching your goals, your business will flourish. The goal is not only to be realistic in your expectations but to be flexible and accept that things happen and require change. Being a flexible leader who can think out of the box will make you and your business more resilient to business challenges, industry trends and economic changes. Be a strong communicator who is consistent an clear will ensure your expectations for deliverables are met.

Secret # 3 Create a Winning Culture with Smaller Attainable Goals

Make it a habit to set clear and realistic expectations with reasonable goals and your culture will soar. A great tip is to break your goals and expectations into little tiny goals creating easy wins for your team and your customers. This constant state of winning will be a guaranteed formula for success. Setting realist expectations will create a winning culture and create a positive force field around your business resulting in higher employee performance, creative solutions development, increased sales activities, higher profits and prospect curiosity. Everyone wants to be with the winning Team. Success breeds success and it is infectious.
