​

​

Last week, we focused on creating a streamlined, one-page business plan that lays the foundation for your service business.

Now, it’s time to breathe life into that plan and start taking action!

Testing the Waters

Before diving in head-first, it’s essential to validate your business idea and gather feedback from potential clients.

Here are some strategies to help you test the viability of your service 💁🏾‍♀️
​

1. Reach Out to Your Network

Share your business idea with friends, family, and colleagues. Ask for their honest opinions and insights.

2. Conduct a Survey

Create a short online survey to gauge interest in your service and gather valuable data from your target audience.
​

3. Offer a Beta Service

Provide a scaled-down version of your service to a small group of clients at a discounted rate in exchange for their feedback.

4. Attend Industry Events

Network with potential clients and industry professionals to gain a deeper understanding of their needs and challenges.

Remember, the goal is to validate your idea and refine your approach based on real-world insights.

Making Connections

As you test your business idea, start building relationships with potential clients and collaborators.

1. Engage on Social Media

Join relevant online communities and engage in conversations related to your service.

2. Offer Value Upfront

Share your expertise through blog posts, social media content, or free resources to establish yourself as a trusted authority in your field.

3. Collaborate with Complementary Businesses

Identify businesses that serve a similar target audience and explore partnership opportunities.

Building genuine connections will lay the groundwork for a thriving service business!

Keep the Momentum Going

As you gather feedback and make connections, continue refining your business plan and taking action.

1. Set Achievable Goals:

Break down your long-term vision into smaller, actionable steps to maintain momentum and celebrate progress along the way.

2. Embrace Flexibility:

Be open to adapting your plan as you gain new insights and experiences.
