Are You Missing Out On Business That Is
Right Under Your Nose?
By
Diane Conklin
Community is something we, as a society, seem to have
lost touch with over the years. Maybe it's because of
the way technology has allowed us to connect, over great
distances, or maybe we've just lost our sense of
connection as we go through our busy live. However,
everyone loses when you fail to connect with your
community. You lose not only the connection in your life,
but you lose in your business as well when you let
connections and relationships slip away.
So, why aren't you doing more to connect more with your
local community? Are you so focused on growing your
business online, or across your city, or state, or maybe
even across oceans, that you forget to look at what's
right in your own backyard?

This happens in life, just like it does
in business.
Try this as an exercise - put your finger on the tip of
your nose, or just under your nose. Do you see it? You
know it's there. You can feel it there, but you can't
see it.
It's the same in your local community. The community is
there, right under your nose, but you don't see it, or
if you do, you probably aren't focusing on it.
It's time to start tapping into your community and
building your business locally.
Maybe you don't realize how you can incorporate local
communities into your business. Maybe you think what you
do isn't ideal for getting clients in your local area.
Ask yourself this, "how can I do something that allows
me and my business to become more connected with my
community?"
What if you were to start a local mastermind ground, or
a business networking group? Maybe you're not the only
person in your area trying to run a small business.
There are probably others, in your community, who know
less than you, or probably even some who more than you.
Chances are, there are people in your community looking
for a business just like yours, and they're resorting to
the internet, or they're resorting to a bigger company,
because that's all they know to do.

If you're not reaching out to your
community, they can't reach back. They can't find you if
they don't know you're there.
If your business is struggling, then you have a real
opportunity with your local market. When you tie
yourself to your community, and your community knows
about you, and they know you're there, more often than
not, your community is willing to help. The community is
willing to come to you and offer their help to you. Show
people you're there for them and they will be there for
you and your business.
It doesn't matter what you do, just do something in your
local community that lets them see you, and lets them
build a relationship with you and your business.
Think about the ways you can work on expanding locally
and stop missing what's right under your nose.
