Great businesses do these three things…

• We all want to run successful, thriving companies.
• Weʼre passionate about who we are & what we do.
• We believe that our products or services provide real value to our community.

In this post, I will be sharing three things that most great businesses do in hopes that you’re inspired to implement them and apply them to the work you’re doing in the world.

1. Great businesses don’t tolerate good.

    Have you heard the quote, “Be willing to eliminate the good in order to achieve the great?” In order to stand out and be ahead of the competition in your industry, you need to be the better player on the field. This requires that you make tough calls. Like not using a certain design on social media because it didn’t deliver the “man, that’s great!” factor. Not publishing a video on YouTube if the moral of the story didn’t come across in a great way. Not keeping an employee on staff who doesn’t value where they work. You want to create a great business & that means making short term sacrifices for the long-term gain of your company.

2. Great businesses know that company culture matters.

    The environment that you create around the work you do, will make or break the future outcome of your company. If your business is still a one man or woman show, your culture still matters. How do you feel when you walk into your office for the day? What do you do when you have a lack of creativity? How do you feel when you get something wrong? What do you do when its almost 5 o’clock? A company culture matters if itʼs just you working for the business or you have ten employees. You need to create an environment that sets you, your company & itʼs people up for success. You are creating a culture that enables them to thrive & that starts with you being the leader & establishing core values for how your business will run on the day to day basis.

3.) Great businesses care about their customers.

      You have a business because of the customers or clients who buy a product or

service from you. Your community needs to be one of your biggest priorities if you have intentions of finding long term success in your industry. You need to over deliver, over care, over create, over impress and over show up for the audience that you have. Whether that’s 20 people, 2,000 or 20,000. If you love with your community, they are going to love & support you right back.
