No business has ever become successful without action. Any successful business you see today is as a result of the actions taken by the owner of that business. If you want to be able to have a successful business then you need to be taking consistent action, this will lead to growth in your business and move it towards success.
There are a lot of people (including myself) who spend time, more than is needed, researching, reading, listening to podcasts, watching videos on YouTube and taking courses. Whilst learning and developing knowledge and skills is important, equally as important is to take action and put that learning into practice. Learning only becomes useful when it generates results. You can only generate results by taking action.
Taking action can be scary because you want everything you put out publicly or everything that represents you and your business to be ‘perfect’. One of the biggest strengths of a small business compared to a large organisation is you can take action and bring value to market more quickly. A small business is not shackled by the corporation process of several rounds of discussions, planning and the need for like a thousand people to approve!
Take advantage of this freedom and flexibility you have as a small business and take action to bring to market valuable content and services quicker. This will allow you to increase your revenue, reach your goals quicker and build a successful business.

How Does Taking Action Make Your Business Successful?
You Add More Value to Your Business By Taking Action
A successful business adds value and taking action in your business is the way you can bring value to your clients.
Value can be delivered to your clients by creating content in the form of blog posts, social media, YouTube videos, and creating courses and offering services.
The more action you take in your business the more you will improve what you are doing and this will lead to more value for your customers. More Value = More Income.
Make Your Business Successful By Analysing What is Worth Your Time & What You Should Not Waste Your Time on
The more action you take the faster your business is likely to grow.
Trying and testing many different strategies will allow you to analyse: what is working, what is performing well, what strategies are the most valuable for your business, what is not doing so well, what activities in your business are a waste of your time, what things do not add value.
This can save you weeks and months in your business, because the longer it takes you to take the action and implement those different strategies the longer it will take to identify what the critical things for your business are and what is a waste of your time.
The earlier you are able to identify the activities that bring in more revenue for your business, the quicker you can build a successful business.
Taking Action Can Help You Improve
As I said in the first tip, the more action you take the better your service will become. As you take action you can start identifying areas of improvement, so where you might need to improve and develop your skills so that you can deliver better value.
Learning and improving your work while your audience grows will benefit you in the long-term. When you have a larger audience you will be able to present to them a higher quality service, because of the improvements you made to your content and services when you were building your audience. This means that you will be able to convert more of that larger audience.
Market Research to Create a Successful Business
Taking action in your business is a great way to validate your business idea, without putting anything out into the world you will not know if there is a demand / interest in what you have to offer.
Through taking action and creating content and offering your services you will be able to understand what your customers want, what they are looking for and which services there is a need for.
So, publish and offer a range of content and services to analyse which ones end up attracting more clients - you can then move forward with where the demand is.
Get To Your Goals Faster
Without action you will not be able to move towards your goal. If you have goals to serve a certain number of clients then without taking action where you create content, send emails to clients, interact with your client then you will not be able to get to that goal.
Instead of waiting until you know ‘everything’ before you take action, take action as you learn. Treat learning as an ongoing thing rather than believing that you have to know completely everything before you do anything.
Overcome Limiting Beliefs to Have a Successful Business
There can be a lot of limiting beliefs that cripple you from taking action and growing your business. It can be doubting the value of what you have created, wanting it to be perfect, not being ready because you feel confused and lost as to what you are doing.
All of these are what I have previously experienced and it has led to failed attempts at creating a business. However, I have made a commitment that I will continue with taking action such as delivering blog post content even if it is not to the standard I would like it to be. This will help me overcome my limiting beliefs and make me comfortable with taking action instead of doubting myself.
Growing your business by taking action can be made possible by planning your time. Planning will help you define goals and steps that you need to take to reach those goals. So, use planning as a tool to help you stay consistent with taking action which is incredibly necessary to have a successful business.
