Rev Up Your Networking Mojo

August 30, 2018 by Lisa Mininni Leave a Comment

Do you remember your last face-to-face networking event? Are you still in contact with anyone you met there or did you forget to follow up?

Consider the value of your time and effort in getting to the event. You can spend anywhere from 3 hours at a local networking event or 3 days at a conference, right? Now, add up your rate for those hours. That’s quite an investment!

If you didn’t follow up on your last networking event, you might have let leads slip through your fingers. It’s time to rev up your networking mojo. If you want to become a masterful strategic networker, you have to be the one that makes it happen and that means taking a proactive approach.

The next time you attend a network event, get your networking mojo back by using these tips:

1. Be Strategic

Where do you need to be networking and who do you need to be cultivating relationships to move your business to the next level? The next networking conference may not be convenient but necessary to make the next-level relationships. It may involve doing some research on upcoming conferences and placing reminders in your calendar to attend.

2. Seize the Moment to Shine

When you’re asked by your network that common phrase, “If I can ever help you, please let me know” seize the moment! Have an idea on what you need, like:

• An introduction with a decision maker at a company where it would be mutually beneficial to collaborate
• A supplier to help you bring a product to market
• A panel speaker for an upcoming nonprofit event you’re planning

When they see that you have a specific answer, it shows that you are prepared to conduct business. It also instills confidence that you are a savvy business owner.

A strategic approach to networking creates long-lasting relationships. Over time, you’ll develop collaborations by design all because you were strategic in your approach and seized the moment. These partnerships will help you create a referral system that does the work for you helping you grow a profitable business.

P.S. Ready to scale and systematize your business? Join us for the Wake Up Profitable Boot Camp for Business Owners on October 4-5, 2018 at the Business Innovation Lab in Livonia, Michigan. Early registration ends on Friday, August 31, 2018.

Wake Up Profitable Boot Camp for Business Owners on October 4-5, 2018

August 23, 2018 by Lisa Mininni Leave a Comment

Our Fall Wake Up Profitable Boot Camp for Business Owners is happening on October 4-5, 2018  at the Business Innovation Lab in Livonia, Michigan and early registration ends next week!

At the Wake Up Profitable Boot Camp, you will develop new skills around scaling your business. You will create an awareness of how each component of your business interconnects. From that awareness comes a fundamental shift in the way you market and operate your business.This shift is not a one-time event, but an ongoing access to operational awareness, team performance, sales effectiveness, and marketing systems.

Here’s what business owners have shared about their experience at the Boot Camp:

-I discovered how I’m hardwired and how to set up all of my businesses in favor of how I naturally work and what I do best. Brian Surowiec, CEO, Essential IT & Strawesome

-I developed an additional revenue stream that has added value to my existing clients and keeps referrals that I would have previously turned down. Lynn Drake, Compass Commercial

-It took me 26 hours and 3 flights to get to the Wake Up Profitable from Europe, and I feel very happy I did it! The first workday after the workshop, I managed to work through a mountain of things which I would postpone before, just because I didn’t know how to tackle them or they scared me because they seemed too complicated. I’ve been working all the day long, rejoicing that I know what to do and how to do it, impatient to move on even faster. Once you know what to do, you can’t wait to get it done. Monica Laschkolnig, Franchise Owner

Early registration tuition for the Wake Up Profitable Boot Camp ends on August 31!

How to Outsource to Successfully Scale Your Business

February 2, 2017 by Lisa Mininni Leave a Comment


Every business needs certain tasks to be completed related to marketing, accounting, and customer service. However, as a business owner, these tasks can bogg you down. Outsourcing saves you time to focus on the strategies to scale your business and boost your profits.

Think of how much revenue you’re losing by doing some of the work yourself. Your busy work keeps you from executing strategies.

The good news is that you might be five easy steps away from boosting up your profits this year. Every business owner should do this exercise every year to explore opportunities to further leverage themselves and their business.

1. Make a list of all of your non-revenue generating activities. Assign an estimated time it takes to complete each task. Then, identify how much time it takes to perform these tasks. Remember, identify tasks that are not generating income or clients and consolidate into just one hour of work each week. You’ll be amazed how this one exercise saves you four hours a month!

2. Be clear on what you need. Before you hire someone, identify their responsibilities, timelines, and expectations. Your vendor or person you hire will want to know what is expected of them and you’ll need to be clear on the outcomes. You might also be able to automate those tasks by using an app or free open source software.

3. Identify your resources. Help is closer than you think! Let your circle of friends know the kind of assistance you need. Tap into your local community, retirement centers, volunteers, college intern, place of worship, referral, or at-home parent looking for additional work while the children are at school.

4. Always check references. Contact at least two past supervisors. Better yet, get referrals from someone who personally has worked with someone you intend to hire. You may need to provide passwords to them to complete the tasks so you will want to make sure it is someone you checked out thoroughly before outsourcing to them.

5. Manage it. If you hire someone and need work completed in four hours, then be sure to communicate the timeframes to your new assistant. You don’t want to get billed for unexpected extra hours.

When you outsource your work (even if it is one hour a week), you can stick to the task of successfully scaling your business.

Ready to get out of the day-to-day and successfully scale your business this year? Register now for the Wake Up Profitable Boot Camp for Business Owners on April 27-28, 2017 at Davenport University in Livonia, Michigan at http://www.wakeupprofitable.com

Scaling Your Business? The Science Behind Team Engagement

January 5, 2017 by Lisa Mininni Leave a Comment



scaleyourbusinesswithhighperformingteamexcellerateassociatesScaling any business takes planning.
To scale your business successfully, you need a consistently productive and engaged team. No business can scale without a high-performing team.

Without any tools, keeping yourself and your team engaged is tricky. Additionally, as you hire and train your staff, your role as the leader also changes. To be successful in scaling your business, you will need to let go of the daily duties and focus on the strategic ones. This means that you shift from doing tasks yourself to accomplishing your goals with and through others.

It’s also your responsibility to build a workplace where your team can thrive. For many leaders, it can be a guessing game in how to keep employees engaged.

To take the guesswork out and add science into team engagement, I use AcuMax Index® to show my clients ways to open the door to a real-world understanding of their associates. For more information on AcuMax Index, visit http://www.excellerateassociates.com/hardwiring.

This tool allows leaders and their teams to quickly relate to one another in ways that might otherwise take years to accomplish. In one case, one of my new clients discovered an employee was de-energized.

It didn’t mean the employee disliked his job. His Index showed that he was just bored. Instead of the business owner guessing, he now can have an insightful discussion with his employee on career planning.

As he strategically scales his business, he can keep in mind opportunities to keep this employee consistently engaged. Understanding how people are wired helps you as the leader align people and positions, enhances idea flow, improves communication, increases productivity and enriches decision making.

For an expanded view on scaling your business, join us for my upcoming free teleseminar,

Simple Steps to Successfully Scale Your Business on January 19, 2017 at 12 pm ET.
