What’s the Recipe for Success?

I recently read an article where 40 successful businesses owners were asked, “what’s your best piece of advice for success”?  Below are some of their responses:

• Clearly define your goals.  If you don’t, you ‘ll never be able to tick them off and measure how you’ve performed.
• Use KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) as a way to measure your success and keep your business moving in the right direction.
• Put  yourself in your customer’s /client’s position and think about what they are looking for, and what will appeal to them during their research.
• Work with influencers, bloggers, editors, reviewers, etc. to get a steady stream of referral traffic to your site. Word of mouth spreads best and fastest this way, and each influencer gives a different perspective on what makes your product unique and different.
• Setting yourself apart from the crowd.  Avoid “me too”.  Know your silver bullets /differentiators.
• Understand Google Analytics.  Do you view your dashboard frequently?  Do you really know how effective your web site is?
• Know your value, know your price.  Outpricing the competitor does not always work.
• Automate your small business where ever possible.
