Bigger Brighter Bolder

The Christmas break is the perfect time to start planning your 2025 goals.     When done right, goal setting takes time.     It’s not sitting down on the 1st January to make some New Year resolutions but thinking through what you want to achieve, how you want your business to grow and the lifestyle you want it to support.     When you take the time to set proper goals, you have more chance of achieving them.     All of our BBB members go through a goal setting programme each year to support their goals.     While we can’t give you this, we have distilled it down into 10 core steps that you can get for free, here:  https://lnkd.in/es9NaiNU   Perfect to do between the mince pies and Christmas specials.      #BBBSuccess #GoalSetting #Mindset 

Is 2025 the year you will achieve great things in your business?     We’re here to help.     We have lots of free tools to support ambitious business owners build the business they want but our weekly newsletter is the place where we share the best tips and tricks to get you there.     It’s also where you’ll be the first to hear about our events and much-loved workshops.     It’s called Built for Success because that’s what it does – builds you up for the success you deserve.     Join the free newsletter community here: https://lnkd.in/e_W75emj #Inspiration #BBBSuccess 

Take a moment this week to reflect on what you’ve achieved in the past 12 months.      Has it gone better or worse than expected?     When you reflect on the year, you can make better judgements about what you want to aim for in 2025.     Whether that’s doubling your turnover, hitting 100k or making more time for the things that truly matter in your life.     It all comes down to setting the right goals.     Goal setting is an art. There is a process to it where you make sure the goals you commit to are the right ones for you and your business.     Set the best goals for 2025 with our 10-Steps to Goal Setting Guide.     It sums up over 16 years of working with small service-based businesses just like yours and is a proven approach to setting the right goals.     Download it here:  https://lnkd.in/eP-43ARz   #Mindset #GoalSetting #BBBSuccess 

Kate Cooper is a great example of someone who is brilliant at what they do but finds that growing a business needs a different set of skills.     Absolute Architecture is a highly respected home architecture practice and when Kate joined BBB, she needed to know what the best direction was to take her business.     “The coaching and expert advice is phenomenal. George and Tracey have helped me get clarity on what I'm doing and why I'm doing it which gives me the focus to keep going and achieve my goals.”     Read Kate’s full story below:  https://lnkd.in/eP5QaEDk #Motivation #BBBSuccess #ServiceBasedBusiness 

Don’t stop now.     While it’s tempting to slow down in the run up to Christmas, keep going with your sales activities.     Our members have been getting some phenomenal results and many of those “let’s pick it up in January” will put them in a far better position for 2025.     Dig deep for the final few weeks of the year and keep going.     #Sales #EntreprenuerialMindset #OnlineCoaching 

Thank you for the feedback! 😍 Just a few comments from the 6-figure mastermind taster session we ran on Wednesday. We had such a lovely group of business owners, all service-based, all navigating a challenge that they were willing to bring to the table and share. We vet everyone who attends to make sure they're all a good fit. It's an intimate, safe environment that is packed with years of real world knowledge meeting the attendees with the issues and challenges they're facing right now. It was such a joy getting under the bonnet of the challenges and seeing paths forward unfold. 😀 Scaling a successful service business is really just about getting better at consistently solving problems. There's a general order to the problems faced from launching to building to you first £100k to scaling, the problems get more complex as the business grows, but nevertheless, it's as simple as that. It's impossible for one person to have all the answers. We need to leverage the experience, skills and resources of others to avoid making unnecessary and expensive mistakes. This is why we favour groups. Find a group to support you on your business growth journey. The right one is a total game changer. 👏 #businessowner #businessgrowth #mastermind

Are you ready for AI?     Whether you love it or hate it, AI is going to change how we all do business.     This is why we brought in AI expert Tom Stanhope this week to show our members how they can include AI within their business.    Thank you, Tom, for such a brilliant session.     You can see what our members thought below.     #OnlineCoaching #Motivation #BBBSuccess 

Sam Rathling never fails to deliver, and always gives a great session for our members.     Sam was on hand to answer everyone’s questions on how to get the most out of LinkedIn.     Her tips were incredible, and we know this will be a popular part of our content library for future members.     Thank you, Sam, for your time last week.     #BBBSuccess #Mastermind #ServiceBasedBusiness 

What’s it like being a BBB Member?     It’s having a trusted network of people who understand your goals and what you want to achieve.     This is a snippet from our last in-person event. Several times a year, we bring all our members together.     These are such special events and people make the journey from across the UK because they know how much they’ll get from being there, meeting other business owners, and talking to people they don’t usually see.     Whilst there are strong friendships and collaborations, no one is left on their own at these events.     Everyone makes the effort to talk to members outside of their groups.     Plus, the content we share at these events sets everyone up for the coming months.     Our next one is the Big Kick-Off in January, and we can’t wait.     #BBBSuccess #Mastermind #BusinessCoaching 

Hands up if you’ve already heard: “We’ll get back to you in the New Year” 🙋♀️ It’s really tempting to down tools when it comes to sales as soon as you start hearing this and while it’s true – some people will delay decisions until January – many people will not.  📣 Don’t stop selling because you think things are slowing down 📣 It really couldn’t be further from the truth.  Many people will be keen to get loose ends tied up before they stop for Christmas.  We’ve got an excellent cross-section of businesses in BBB Success Groups and I can promise you that a lot of business is being done.  If you wait until January to pick up those sales conversations, you could risk missing out.  ✅ Make those sales calls  ✅ Attend the networking events  ✅ Follow up with people  ✅ Be consistent with your lead generations  ✅ And keep up your sales activity right to the wire.  You’re still in the game until the bell goes!  Don’t stop early.     Keep on selling. #Sales #Motivation #BBBSuccess
