With so many demands on your time and with so many challenges coming up every day needing your attention, where is the best place to focus your energy? That’s where the 8 Growth Zones can really help
It’s a structure that helps you focus on what’s going to get you across the Tipping Point in your business.
And what we’ve found is there are 8 Growth Zones in any business.
And, as a business owner, you need to have a plan for each of the Growth Zones.
Sometimes you will need to focus on one Growth Zone more than the others, at certain stages in your business, but they are all important.
Here inside of Summer School we’ve creating a quick-start guide for you to tap into the best webinars and resources for each of the growth zones. For each zone we’ve suggested a few things that will really help get things started for you on that zone.
Which Growth Zone Should You Focus On First?
What we find is that it’s easy to pay attention to the Growth Zones we like or are good at handling, and it’s also easy to ignore those Growth Zones we don’t know much about or feel uncomfortable with – and this can create problems in your business and keep you from the Tipping Point.
So take a look through each of the 8 Growth Zones now, look out for those you may be possibly ignoring or have a blind spot around, or feel uncomfortable with, because that’s a sign you may need to spend some time working on that area.

What Stage of Business Are You At?
Depending on your stage of business you may need a different zone to move you forward. Getting to the next Tipping Point in your business takes knowing where you are starting.
Are you at the IDEA, STUCK, DECLINE or MOMENTUM stage?
If you’re in the IDEA stage of business you’re still formulating your offers, getting to know your clients and getting started on creating a viable business model. So, Planning, Sales and Marketing, and Products growth zones might be the place to start.
If you’re in the STUCK stage of business then you may feel like you’re in a “rut” where you’ve reached a level of sales that you just can’t seem to break through. You feel like you’re on a treadmill, making just enough to keep things going, working hard, but not really getting ahead.
At this stage, take a look at whether you need to up-skill yourself in Sales and Marketing, or need to go back to your Planning and work on fine-tuning your business model and creating a more viable, profitable model. Or, perhaps you need to visit the You Growth Zone and really get clear on your vision and to support yourself with great people and mentors.
If you’re in DECLINE stage of business you could be feeling overwhelmed and unclear, and in a little chaos. Planning is a great idea here, reviewing your Products and analysing your money – looking at costs and expenses and profit margins. A mentor can also be really great a this stage to support you as you restructure things for your next growth phase.
And, if you’re in great MOMENTUM then you’re in great shape. Now it’s time to ensure your Systems are water-tight, your People are able to support your growth trajectory, your technology allows you to operate with speed and efficiency and cost effectiveness and that you are really taking care of You.
