Growing a small business

Honestly, growing a small business can feel like pushing a boulder uphill in roller skates. But the good news? It doesn’t have to be that hard. Sometimes, it’s the small, ridiculously simple tweaks that make the biggest difference. We’re talking about changes you can start today, without needing an unlimited budget or qualifications you will never use.

Here are 10 easy (but powerful) hacks to grow your business—fast.

1. Update Your Google Business Profile

Most people check you out on Google before they ever visit or call. Make sure your hours are correct, your photos look sharp, and your reviews are glowing. If you haven’t touched your profile in months, now’s the time.

2. Ask for Reviews (Yes, Really)

Social proof sells. Ask happy customers to leave reviews. Don’t overthink it—just shoot them a friendly follow-up email or text with a link. People trust other people more than they trust your marketing.

3. Start an Email List, and Use It

An email list is your direct line to your biggest fans. Don’t just collect addresses—send useful, interesting content regularly. Think tips, discounts, or behind-the-scenes updates.

4. Bundle Your Products or Services

Want to increase average transaction value? Create bundles or packages. People love the idea of “more for less”—and it’s a great way to introduce them to services they might not have tried otherwise.

5. Get Ruthless with Your Time

Time is your most valuable asset. Use time-blocking, eliminate distractions, and outsource tasks that don’t need your brain. More focus = faster growth.

6. Add a Clear CTA to Everything

Your website, your emails, your social posts—everything should have a clear, simple call to action. Want them to book a call? Say it. Want them to buy now? Make it easy.

7. Network Like a Human

Don’t just pitch—connect. Join local business groups, attend events, or even start your own. Building real relationships will open doors you never saw coming.

8. Repackage Existing Content

Turn a blog into a video. A video into a carousel. A podcast into a quote graphic. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel—just spin it differently.

9. Track What’s Working (And What’s Not)

If you’re not measuring it, you’re guessing. Use simple analytics tools to track what’s getting clicks, sales, and engagement. Double down on what works. Drop what doesn’t.

10. Ask for Help

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Getting expert guidance can help you skip the trial-and-error phase and go straight to what actually works. When engaging with one of our Business Coaches at Business Coaches Sydney, you are gaining access to a wealth of national and international expertise.
