Robin was inspired to start a group where Mothers that wanted to stay at home with their babies, could come together and do Joint Ventures.
Sacha and Joseph at Granville Island
Sacha joined our PPL team and since having her second baby she's been too busy to devote much time to business. But her PPL business is growing because of the great people under her. Michele Bacani Lim was very devoted and ran Mom Comes Home very successfully, but after her second baby was born, she wanted to devote more time to her family and she left the team. We had another look at Mom Comes Home and realised that there were many other women that wanted to be included. Not all the Moms are at home, and many of the women are older and their children have already left home. I took over from Michelle and we changed it to the Dollarmakers Women's Club. Since then I'm happy to say we've grown a lot and we've had some wonderful women come on board.
How can this help you?
The key to our growth was that we could stand back and look at the business and ask ourselves where we wanted this business to go.
When you take a good, hard, objective look at your business, you will find you see a lot more. A reality check is always a good thing. It is important to take stock of your present situation. Before you continue, it's good to revaluate your situation. It will help you to clarify your thinking and help you strategise where you want to go and how to get there. If you have no map, how would you know where you're going? When working with women in the workshops they are often stunned by this question. How can you answer the question "how can we help you?" if you have no idea what it is that you're looking for.
I encourage you to look at your business and ask yourself some of the following questions. Not all the questions will be applicable.
* Why did you start your business?
* Is it making money?
* What makes the most money?
* Do you have a database?
* What takes the most time?
* Who takes the most time?
* How regularly do you communicate with your customers?
* How often does the average customer buy from you?
* What is your net profit? Gross profit?
* Have you ever surveyed your customers for their opinions?
* What differentiates you from your competition?
* How do you add value and go the extra mile for your clients?
* How do you build customer loyalty?
* How do you get your clients to refer new business to you?
* What do you love about your business? What do you hate about it?
* What are your goals?
* How are your business problems affecting you?
* What is the impact on your family?
* If things continue the way they’re going now, what will your business look like in two years?
* If you had a magic wand, what four things would you change about your business?
* How do you see the potential of your business?
