The 5 Simple Moves That Grew My Business 709% (And How You Can Use Them Too!)

My Business Didn’t Grow 709% by Accident—Here’s EXACTLY How I Did It

Most people think business growth comes from one big breakthrough.

They wait for that one viral post...
That one perfect strategy...
That one influencer shoutout...

But the truth?

📌 I didn’t grow my business by 709% last year because of one single move.
📌 I grew it by repeating a few key strategies over and over—until they WORKED.

And today? I’m handing them to you.👇🏻


1️⃣ I Ditched Motivation & Committed to CONSISTENCY

Most people overcomplicate growth. They think they need massive effort every single day.

But what actually moves the needle? The small, consistent things done over time.

For me, that meant setting bare minimums I could commit to NO MATTER WHAT:

1 post + 1 story daily to Facebook.

That’s it. Non-negotiable.

🎯 Why? Because if you’re showing up inconsistently, you’re training your audience to ignore you.

Sure, I did a TON more—emails, short-form videos, calls, engagement—but these two were my daily non-negotiables.

💡 Your Move: What’s your minimum? If life got crazy tomorrow, what’s the one thing you’d STILL commit to doing for your business?


2️⃣ I Got REPTITIVE AF With My Message

📌 Let me guess… you feel like you’re saying the same thing over and over?

GOOD. You should be.

🚨 Repetition = Recognition.

The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make? They post about too many things. One day it’s fitness, the next it’s mindset, then skincare, then their morning coffee… and their audience is CONFUSED.

📌 If people don’t immediately know what you do, they’re not going to buy from you.

So I got crystal clear on my Specialty Dish—aka the ONE thing I wanted to be known for. And I repeated it again and again.

💡 Your Move: Ask yourself:

  • What do people always ask you for advice on?

  • What’s the ONE topic you never get tired of talking about?

  • If someone needed help with this, would they immediately think of you?

🚀 Your goal? Be the FIRST person they think of when they need help.


3️⃣ I LISTENED to My Audience (Instead of Guessing)

For years, I thought I knew what my audience wanted. I spent hours creating content I thought would attract people.

Then I realized…

I wasn’t actually listening.

💡 When I stopped talking at my audience and started paying attention to what they were already asking, EVERYTHING changed.

I spent hundreds of hours in my DMs, reading comments, looking at emails—watching for the SAME struggles over and over.

📌 What questions did people ask repeatedly?
📌 What myths did they believe that were holding them back?
📌 What “aha moments” made them DM me freaking out like, “OMG, I NEVER thought of it that way!!”

🎯 I turned those exact questions into content.
🎯 I turned those pain points into offers.

And my business exploded.

💡 Your Move: STOP guessing. Start paying attention. The best content ideas are already in your audience’s words.


4️⃣ I Researched Like a CEO (Not a Copycat)

Here’s something nobody talks about:

🔥 The biggest brands on the planet study their competition.

McDonald's doesn’t ignore what Burger King is doing. They see the trends, watch the ads, tweak their messaging, and innovate.

Same thing with Coke vs. Pepsi. Nike vs. Adidas. Target vs. Walmart.

And that’s exactly what I did.

📌 I watched successful people in my niche—not to copy, but to learn.
📌 I studied what worked—so I could add my own unique spin.

👀 I spent time:
✔ Following 3-5 leaders in my space.
✔ Reading their comments (what are their audience’s biggest struggles?).
✔ Noticing trends in what was working & why.

💡 Your Move: Who are the top people in your industry? What’s working for them? How can you take that idea and put YOUR spin on it?


5️⃣ I Stopped Wasting Time & Built SYSTEMS

THIS was the game changer.

I was spending hours every day creating content, following up with leads, and answering the same questions over and over.

And then I realized… the top entrepreneurs?

🚀 They don’t do everything manually. They use automation.

Here’s how I streamlined my entire business:

Automated Lead Capture → Instead of just posting, I started collecting leads DAILY.
Content Planning System → I stopped scrambling for ideas & built a strategy that runs itself.
Email & SMS Follow-Ups → I set up nurture sequences so people didn’t just forget about me.
AI Content Assistance → I still write my own content, but I use AI to speed up the process.

🎯 The result?

  • More time for high-impact tasks.

  • No more chasing leads.

  • A business that GROWS while I sleep.

💡 Your Move: Where are you wasting time doing things manually? What can you automate TODAY to free up time for revenue-generating activities?


So, What’s the Takeaway?

📌 Growth doesn’t come from one lucky break—it comes from repeating the right things over and over.
📌 If you’re not building systems, you’re just playing business—not running one.
