Consistent action is the key to success. Its not very sexy or exciting, but its true. Its like anything, if you are determined to succeed then you need to be consistent and not give up. Take action every day, even when it doesn’t feel like its working. Keep showing up, keep doing what you’re doing and don’t stop.
Every day you should be taking action that will grow your business. Here are 20 different actions that you COULD take every day that will help your business to be super successful online. If you did one a day every working day for 4 weeks I know that you would see a big change in your business.
Most people reading this will not bother. They’ll maybe do one or two of them and then stop. Because they are too busy, or its too hard to do. Or because they took a day off or forgot. That’s why most people will never be as successful as they could be online.
How many of these are you going to commit to doing in the next 4 weeks? My advice is to print out a 4 week calendar or use your scheduler or diary and plan what you are going to do on each day.
For bonus points do more than one a day
- Email your list
- Promote your sales page on facebook or twitter
- Put an offer out to get people on a call with you
- Phone past customers, just to touch base with them
- Cold call 20 people
- Build a new funnel - put out a new free opt in and get people to sign up for your list
- Hold a webinar
- Record a video and share it on social media
- Write a blog post and submit it to other sites as a guest post
- Ask existing customers for testimonials
- Organise a teleseminar for questions and answers
- Interview someone in your industry
- Be interviewed by someone in your industry
- Comment on big blogs that are read by your ideal customer
- Write a blog post
- Send out a survey
- Announce a challenge
- Follow up with people who you have spoken to in the last 3 months who didn’t become a customer
- Talk to your best customers, ask them for a referral
- Go to a face to face networking event
If you can do all of these in the next 4 weeks then you’ll start to see your business grow. By doing them repeatedly you will soon begin to see which ones are most effective for you. Repeat these ones every day, without missing a day or giving up.
The secret to success is consistency. Like I said, its not very glamorous but it works.
