What does a business need to succeed?

Over a million people started businesses in 2023. Twenty percent of new businesses fail within the first twelve months. How can you build a solid foundation for your business to avoid being a statistic?

Forty percent of businesses fail within the first three years. With such alarming statistics, the question becomes, what does a business need to succeed? First and foremost, you must build a solid foundation.

What does building a solid foundation for success for your brand and business mean?

Building a solid foundation for your brand and business means taking the smart action steps in the correct order. Not piecemealing your business strategy and leaving success up to hope. When you build a solid foundation upfront, the sky becomes the limit. You won’t have to backpedal. There will be no one step forward, two steps backward. Likewise, you won’t have to fail your way forward.

I can tell you from experience that trying to grow and scale your business alone is no fun, and you will do a lot of backpedaling. Not only is it not fun, but it also delays progress and achieving goals.

So, what does a business need to succeed?

Of course, there are many facets to a successful business, but the core components you need include:

Clarity
Website
Personal brand strategy
Business plan
Offers/Pricing
Processes and Automation
Brand marketing strategy

What does a business need to succeed? Not social media.

Digital marketing is a crucial component of your business strategy. However, social media is not the be-all and end-all of digital marketing. You can grow your business without social media. More critically, it is worth noting that your business's foundation is not built on social media. All foundational components of your business are on platforms that you own. Your website, email list, and podcast if you have one.
