The shortest way to create growth in any business is to harness the power of leverage. Imagine a see-saw – on one side is your business and it’s potential growth value and on the other side is you. In the middle is the fulcrum which is the centre point of balance.

In simple terms how much weight do you need on your side to lift your business off the ground and to move it up to a point higher than the central balance point? The longer  and heavier your leverage plank the easier it will be to move the business plank up beyond the balance point – the tipping point.

Trying to achieve that movement on your own is going to be difficult and will take time. Imagine the difference if  instead of just you on your side of a small leverage plank  you harness the power of many. The many being all your networks – business and personal, your mastermind team, your mentors who are all working with you to grow your business because they believe in you and what you offer.

Imagine how much quicker your progress is going to be when you have company on your side of the plank. This is pure leverage. Don’t underestimate its power. Everyone you meet is a potential member of your business growth team.

It is also important that once you have established contact that you regularly maintain that contact. Relationships require constant nurturing and business relationships are no different. Keep in touch with newsletters and special offers and promotions. Keep offering value at every opportunity and the rewards will flow.
