What Does a 240-Year-Old Invention Have to Do with Your Business? Loads - getting this right is critical Here’s the story When James Watt invented the steam engine, he had a game-changer. But when he tried to sell it, the miner owners (is target market) didn’t get it. 🤷♂️ So, what did Watt do? He ditched the tech talk and explained it in their language—horsepower. 🐎 Suddenly, the miners could see it: 10 horses worth of work, without the stables and feeding costs. 💡 The lesson: Customers don’t care about what you do—they care about what’s in it for them. 🎯 Speak their language.

✨ People love a deal, right? Especially in my industry. But have you ever stopped to wonder… are we just expected to discount all the time? Is squeezing our margins so thin really the norm? 🤔 If you’re always getting pushed down on price, it’s worth asking yourself: Are you giving your all to your business? Because it should be giving something back to you too. 🙌 The real question is… have you slipped into the *commodity trap*? Think about it: ✨ Is your offer blending in with everyone else? ✨ Are you growing your revenue without growing your costs? ✨ Can you deliver better results than your competitors, without slashing prices? If you’re not sure, you might be on the edge of becoming a commodity. 😬 But there’s a better way: 💡 Focus on a tightly defined niche 💡 Solve the big problems no one else is tackling 💡 Develop processes that run so smoothly, it’s like clockwork ⏰ Not sure how, can’t see the wood for the trees - I get it, I’ve been there. DM me and I’ll show you how to do it in the simple steps.

Flip. Anyone who’s ever founded a business is gonna feel this... 🔥 You start out fueled by pure excitement ✨, maybe a sprinkle of fairy dust 🧚♀️, and that special skill set you’ve got 💪. You dive in, all in. 🌊 Then boom, you're in the deep end. 💥 Things don’t go as planned (spoiler alert: they rarely do) 😬. You make mistakes, adjust, and keep going. 🔄 You get better. 🔝 What once felt like scaling Everest? Yeah, now you're cruising. 🏔️🚀 Then comes the next challenge. ⚡ The real truth? Progress doesn’t come from perfect execution. It comes from diving in, doing the messy work, and picking up lessons as you go. 🛠️ Can you speed it up? Absolutely. Get the right supporters and advisors, and you’ll get there faster. 🚀✨ But here’s the bottom line: there’s no skipping the imperfect, messy middle. 💯 Credit to Liz Fosslien for her amazing illustration 𝗜'𝗺 𝗕𝗲𝗻. 🔨 Building your business so it thrives without your constant involvement 🎯 Getting you clarity to sharpen your aim and amplify your results ⏱ Giving you back 7 hours a week to focus on your passions. 🔔🔔 𝗛𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀!

Ever felt like you're spinning too many plates in your business? I've been there, and so have many of my clients. But what if I told you that dropping a few plates could actually skyrocket your success? 🚀 Let me share a story of one of my long term clients... Planning consultants, Lighthouse Development Consulting Picture this: two guys, Peter and Nick, decide to take the plunge and start their own consulting firm in 2021. They were doing well, but felt like they were spreading themselves thin across different sectors. Sound familiar? Through our Growth Kickstarter Programme at The Value Engine, we uncovered their hidden superpower in the green tech sector. What happened next blew me away: 🎯 Challenge: Spread too thin across multiple sectors 💡 Solution: We helped them laser-focus on green tech 🏆 Results: ✅ A mind-blowing 50% year-on-year sales growth ✅ Industry awards pouring in ✅ A team that's absolutely thriving How did we pull off this transformation? With three game-changing moves: 1️⃣ Crafted a one-page strategy that became their success compass 2️⃣ Built a leadership structure to handle the growth 3️⃣ Bottled their secret sauce into repeatable processes In Peter's words: "Thanks to Ben and The Value Engine, we're not just growing – we're thriving without losing our essence." I'm sharing this because I see so many businesses struggling with the same challenges. If you're nodding along, thinking "That's me!", then I've got good news... 👉 I've put together a detailed case study that breaks down exactly how we did it. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/ed7qPbrB Who knows? This could be the inspiration for your next big business breakthrough! What's the one thing you'd love to focus on in your business?

🌟 How do you welcome new clients on board? You know, something meaningful that fits with what you’re all about. 🤔 I knew I had to get this sorted. But..
