The True Profit Growth Pillars

Is all your focus on sales and marketing?

There’s no doubt you need to be thinking and taking action on your marketing plans and sales, but too many business owners only focus on where their next clients are coming from. All their time and attention is on marketing, product creation, launches and selling.

When you do this, you often find that you have designed and created an incredible penthouse business through big product launches and high ticket sale events. But when you’ve decided to grow and scale-up and tried to do your product launches again and again and again, you suffer from launch fatigue and often feel burnt out. When this happens, it’s because you’ve not paid enough attention to the 10 or 20 floors below to hold up your penthouse business; the infrastructure, systems, processes and people to support your growth.

Welcome to True Profit Business, the podcast that dives into what it really takes to create a purposeful, playful and profitable business. In this episode, Karen Skidmore takes you through the five True Profit Growth Pillars; Purpose, Planning, Power, Process and People.

In Karen’s book, True Profit Business, you can more detail of how each of these pillars in Chapter 3, as well as range of practical exercises that will help you review, reflect and plan what action to take to start building these pillars in your business.

But before you go off and do these exercises, listen in to this overview of how they all work together.

The doing and being of business [Podcast S1 Ep2]

The doing and being of business

Do you run on adrenalin or realise that you have taken on too many responsibilities to effectively keep up with all the stuff that needs doing in your business each week? Then perhaps you are a Dominate Do-er.

Or perhaps you find yourself procrastinating or find it hard to take risks and are even fearful of becoming visible and getting yourself ‘out there’? Then maybe you are a Dominate Be-er.

Welcome to True Profit Business, the podcast that dives into what it really takes to create a purposeful, playful and profitable business. In this episode, Karen Skidmore discusses these two polarities; the doing and being of business.

Our energy and the way we react, respond and move about our day-to-day lives come from two places; our doing energy and our being energy. These polarities show up in our left and right brains, the sun and moon, yin and yang, and in our heads and hearts.

The focus of most business teaching and training is very doing; marketing metrics, profit and loss accounts, digital dashboards and social algorithms. Success is often defined by numbers and taking action is always celebrated. Yes, there’s no doubt that we need to do and take action on our intentions, but too much doing energy often leads to burn out.

During this episode, Karen takes you through the profiles of Dominant Do-ers and Dominate Be-ers, she tells her story of how she allowed the Dominate Do-er in her took her to the extreme and explains how you need to find a way of using both powers to enable you to play your biggest game.

One is not better than the other. You need to access both to fulfil your potential and grow.

Welcome to the very first episode of True Profit Business, the podcast that dives into what it really takes to create a purposeful, playful and profitable business.

In this episode, Karen Skidmore kicks off this first series by diving into the topic of playing big and how big your big needs to be when it comes to your business growth.

It’s easy to get stuck on the marketing conveyor belt, focusing your time and energy on launching new products, building more marketing funnels and keeping up with your content sharing on social media. But what’s it all for? Where are you really headed?

Listen in as Karen highlights the dangers of following the Pied Piper marketing gurus and other people’s interpretations of success, helps you reflect on what you really want out of your business growth and then sets the scene for the upcoming episodes that will not only give you a practical road map to follow but also teach you how to connect and trust your intuition and gut when making decisions for your future business growth.
