Over 100 ideas to help you grow a great business!

By Jim Connolly | December 9, 2011

I have some really useful marketing and business development ideas to share with you today.

Developing a highly profitable business

You work hard and deserve to see the rewards.  I want you to be able to develop a highly profitable business, working with great people for the best fees, so, I wrote a 3 part blog post series for you, see below.  If you have not already taken time to read them, I know from the emails they generated, that people have found them extremely useful:

How to attract the best clients and the highest fees Part 1

How to attract the best clients and the highest fees Part 2

How to attract the best clients and the highest fees Part 3

Over 140 ideas

As a business owner, it’s essential to be aware that no matter how things are for you right now, you are never more than one great idea away from transforming your results.  If you only started reading my blog this year, you may have missed this post.  It’s one of the most popular I have ever written and gives you immediate, free access to over 140 marketing and business development ideas.

Finally: How to ruin your blog just like I did

Most small business owners who blog, tend to copy what they see others doing.  This posts shares the approach I have used to build one of the most read blogs in marketing and why copying the flock is a really bad idea: Blogging: Seth Godin and I are doing it wrong!

I hope you find these resources useful.  If you do, please share them with your friends.
