The One Percent Solution Are you feeling lost and unsure about what tasks you should be doing to help improve your business. My answer is to not stress and instead change the way you think.
Everyday your aim should be to improve your business by just 1%. Whether its a few more sales, a better product, an improved website or a new lead. 1% sounds small, and it is. The fact that its so small also means its also very achievable.
Although 1% sounds insignificant, if you look at the bigger picture – that’s 365% in a year. I don’t know any entrepreneurs who think that a 365% improvement isn’t amazing.
The first step to following the 1% principle is to look at things that need to be improved. Things like a dead link on a website, doesn’t sound very major – but will changing it improve your business? Yes.  And so there you have a 1% change.
The 1 percent improvement doesn’t necessarily need to be one action. Instead, it may be a series of tasks.  For example you may spend an hour or so on a social networking site connection with potential customers and improving your companies brand by just one little percent.
If you wake up every morning with a goal to improve that 1% your business will be in good hands.
