Scale Your Network as Business Grows
As the owner of a thriving UK computer repair service, I know all too well the challenges that come with scaling a business. It’s a constant balancing act – trying to keep up with growing demand while maintaining the high-quality service that your customers have come to expect.
One of the biggest hurdles I’ve faced is keeping my network infrastructure up to par. When I first started out, a few laptops and a basic router were enough to handle the workload. But as my customer base exploded, I quickly realized that my humble network setup just wasn’t going to cut it anymore.
That’s when I stumbled upon a game-changing methodology that I knew I had to implement. It all comes down to what Alex Hormozi, the author of the book “$100 Million Leads” [1], calls the “More, Better, New” approach. The concept is simple, but the results can be truly transformative.
More of What’s Working
The first step is to identify the areas of your business that are already performing well, and then double down on those. For me, that meant focusing on optimizing my Google Search presence. After all, inbound leads from Google were the bread and butter of my operation [2].
So, instead of wasting time on cold emails, LinkedIn outreach, or other unproven tactics, I decided to pour all my energy into SEO and content creation. I set a goal to double the volume of blog posts I was publishing each week, and I worked tirelessly to get every single page of my website as close to a perfect Ahrefs and GTMetrix score as possible [3].
The results were nothing short of astounding. My website traffic skyrocketed, and the quality of my leads improved dramatically. Suddenly, I had more work than I knew what to do with – a problem I was more than happy to have!
Doing It Better
With my primary lead generation engine firing on all cylinders, it was time to turn my attention to the network infrastructure that was powering my business. I knew that I needed to make some serious upgrades, but I also wanted to do it in a way that was efficient and cost-effective.
That’s where the “Better” part of Hormozi’s approach came into play. I started by auditing my current network setup, looking for areas where I could optimize performance and reduce bottlenecks. I invested in a more robust router, upgraded my internet bandwidth, and implemented a more sophisticated network monitoring system [4].
But it wasn’t just about the hardware – I also focused on streamlining my network management processes. I trained my staff on best practices for network troubleshooting and security, and I implemented new policies and procedures to ensure that everything was running smoothly.
The result? A network that could handle the ever-increasing demands of my growing business with ease. No more slow load times, no more frustrating downtime, and no more worrying about my infrastructure collapsing under the strain.
Introducing Something New
With the foundations of my network solidly in place, it was time to start looking towards the future. What new technologies or strategies could I implement to take my business to the next level?
One area that I was particularly excited about was the potential of cloud-based solutions. By migrating some of my core business functions to the cloud, I was able to dramatically improve scalability, flexibility, and security [5]. Instead of having to maintain and upgrade my own servers, I could simply tap into the virtually limitless resources of the cloud.
But it wasn’t just about the technical benefits – the cloud also opened up new opportunities for collaboration and remote work. With cloud-based tools like video conferencing, project management software, and cloud storage, my team could stay connected and productive no matter where they were located [6].
I also started exploring the potential of edge computing and IoT devices to further enhance my network capabilities. By strategically placing processing power and storage closer to the devices and sensors that were collecting data, I was able to improve response times, reduce latency, and better optimize network bandwidth [7].
The result? A network that was not only scalable and reliable, but also forward-looking and innovative. As my business continued to grow, I knew that my network was more than ready to support the increased demands.
Scaling for Success
The journey of scaling a business is never an easy one, but by embracing the “More, Better, New” approach, I’ve been able to transform my UK computer repair service into a true powerhouse.
By focusing on optimizing the areas of my business that were already working well, I was able to drive exponential growth. And by constantly striving to improve my network infrastructure, I ensured that my business could keep up with the increasing demands.
But the real key to my success has been the willingness to embrace new technologies and strategies. By staying ahead of the curve and always looking for ways to innovate, I’ve been able to maintain a competitive edge and stay ahead of the curve.
So, if you’re a UK computer repair service owner who’s looking to scale your business, remember the “More, Better, New” approach. Focus on doubling down on what’s already working, optimize your processes and infrastructure, and don’t be afraid to embrace the latest and greatest technologies.
With the right mindset and the right tools, you too can build a network that’s ready to handle whatever growth comes your way. Here’s to your continued success!
