Have you ever been stuck for ideas… or felt stagnant… or not known what to do to increase your business?

I sure have.

And one of the best ways I have found to get unstuck is to either pick up a book or learning program and get ideas from it…

Or ask those around me for ideas and tips on what to do to overcome those challenges.

And that’s something we can all do, isn’t it?

Here’s a little idea you might want to implement into your business.

Get everyone from your business together and ask everyone in the room to provide three examples of how they would improve some part of your company.

They don’t have to give those answers immediately.

Give them a few minutes to think about it.

Then write those ideas down and prioritise them into action steps.

Do it yourself as well.

You’ll be amazed at what you come up with.

Of course, you could rephrase the question each week and have a weekly meeting on different aspects of your business.

You could even ask the question:

What could we do to get more customers. If I was in your company my 3 answers would be…

1. Learn and implement more than one dozen strategies in http://www.morecustomersmadeeasy.com

2. Turn your sleeper ads into blockbusters by getting your hands on http://www.copywritingthatsells.com.au/cashflow

3. Stop making internet mistakes and start making online profits by getting your hands on http://www.scottbywater.com/internetsecrets

Of course, I am biased. But with results like these – http://www.scottbywater.com/proof – I kind of think I have a right to be ;-)

Seriously, though. Think about what would happen if in week 1 you asked everyone the question:

Week 1: What can we do to improve some aspect of our company?

Week 2: What can we do to get more customers?

Week 3: What can we do to be more productive?

Week 4: What can we do to offer better customer service?

Week 5: What can we do to follow up on leads and convert more of them into customers?

… I think you get my point. It’s really a powerful process.

And the good news is: all the ideas don’t have to come from you. You can spread the load across your entire business and everyone will appreciate being involved at a higher level.

And if you are just a one-person business, ask this question to your husband, wife or partner (as well as yourself) once a week. You may be amazed at some of the feedback you receive.
