You already know that there are other businesses that do what you do. If you have already figured out what makes your business special and who your ideal client is then this one simple strategy will help you get more business from your ’competition’

Stop Competing.
Start Collaborating.

I’m sure you heard the saying, jack of all trades master of none. Well, that saying is one that gets ignored in business every day by so many that are trying to keep their business afloat. They fear if they offer less services or products they will get less customers. With that fear, they add more services or market to an even wider audience. That is a mistake. How many times have you heard someone say that they specialize in... and then follow that by listing off a bunch of items. That’s not specializing! Can you imagine if you were searching for a neurosurgeon and they said “I specialize in neurosurgery dermatology and pediatrics? You would know right away that person is not a specialist.

Once you find the right referral partner you both will receive more business that you enjoy doing or clients you enjoy working with. If you want to take it even further you can share processes and strategies to help improve each other's business.

I love this quote by Jim Rohn. It wonderfully expresses what most of us are afraid to admit to ourselves. If we really think something is important we will find the time to do it.

Another way of putting it, we make it a priority, block out time in our schedule, and put plans into action to things happen. You can apply thins to any aspect of your life.

Here is a flashback to a fun branding project we worked on. The founder of Largesse, David Mitchell is an Edmonton string educator, composer, and church musician. He created Largesse School of Musical Arts as one that isdedicated to the growth and development of young people through excellence in music.

It was fun coming up with a solution that combined many of these elements along with musical instruments in an elegant fashion.

Do you have a list of things you are ‘planning’ to do but just can’t find the time for:

• New ideas or processes for your business that you want to put into action?
• Making it to that weekly networking meeting or to the gym?
• Listening to that podcast your friend suggested?
• Social media, dealing with that shoebox full of receipts, hiring an assistant, etc.?

Don't worry. You are not alone if you feel this way. This is a problem that both business owners and entrepreneurs face every day. However, if you really believe the issue is a lack of time, you are deceiving yourself. It's never been about time or time management, to be honest. The reason you have been putting these things off for so long is that it’s always been about priorities.

If you live in the greater Edmonton area, you may have seen some unique teal colour bins or the Heartland logo on some waste disposal and recycling units. We had a great time working on creating a brand with Heartland Disposal & Recycling that represents the region, innovation and environmental resposibility. ⁠⁠
