Growing your business requires more than just financial planning; it’s about building a growth strategy for both your business and yourself. As business owners, we are the drivers of growth—our vision, habits, and mindset determine how far we can go. In this post, I’ll walk you through two core components of growth planning: the tangible, strategic steps and the personal shifts needed to scale effectively.

Why Financial Planning for Growth Matters

When your business stagnates, it’s often because you have stopped evolving. True growth comes when you align strategic action with your personal development.

Key Insights:

• Evaluate your offerings: Are all your products or services aligned with your long-term vision?
• Streamline for focus: Letting go of offerings that no longer serve you creates space for real growth.
• Transform personally: Growth requires introspection and emotional clarity.

Step 1: Strategic Growth Planning for Your Business

Let’s get practical. The first step is assessing your current offerings and profitability.

1. Audit Your Offerings
   Review your financial data (use tools like Xero, QuickBooks, or Excel). Identify:

   • Where does the majority of your revenue come from?
   • Which offerings drain your time and energy without high returns?
   • What do you genuinely enjoy delivering?

   Once you’ve answered these questions, focus on scaling what works best and plan to phase out offerings that hold you back.

   Pro Tip: Create an exit plan for unaligned offerings. Can you refer clients elsewhere for a commission? Or simply remove it from your website?

2. Prioritise Your Time
   If you want to grow, your calendar must reflect your goals. Dedicate time to:

   • High-revenue tasks.
   • Streamlining operations.
   • Strategic thinking and planning.

3. Set Boundaries
   A focused business grows faster. Be clear on what you offer and whom you serve. Wishy-washy offerings attract wishy-washy clients.

Step 2: Personal Growth to Support Business Growth

Scaling a business requires you to evolve alongside it. Here’s how to unlock your personal growth:

1. Face Your Past “Mistakes”
   Mistakes often hold us back unconsciously. Take 5-15 minutes each day to reflect on:

   • What mistakes have I made in business?
   • What lessons did I learn?

   Bring these to the surface, forgive yourself, and let go. As you shift emotionally, you create space for growth.

   Quick Tip: Use the Ho’oponopono prayer: “I forgive you. I’m sorry. Thank you. I love you.”

2. Accept the Emotional Shifts
   Growth isn’t linear. Expect moments of resistance, discomfort, and even anger. Know that these are signs of an up-leveling phase—push through.

3. Revisit Your “Why”

   • Why do you want to scale?
   • What does this next level mean for you, your family, or your lifestyle?

   Anchor yourself in this purpose, and it will drive you through any challenges.

Step 3: Commit to Action and Focus

Focus is your most valuable asset when planning for growth. Here’s your action plan:

1. Streamline your offerings to focus on the most profitable and enjoyable services.
2. Free up time in your calendar for strategic thinking and growth activities.
3. Let go—of offerings, mistakes, and limiting beliefs that no longer serve you.
