In this episode, Troy asked Chris Mirabile, the founder of NOVOS based in Melbourne, Australia, the final five questions:
-
What do you think Chris thinks is the most challenging part of growing a small business? According to Chris, the competition in small businesses is the hardest thing to deal with. He therefore places a strong emphasis on the necessity of being quick on your feet, incredibly strategic, and thinking about how you may outpace, outgrow, and finally take first place in the space.
-
Chris' favorite business book is "Blue Ocean Strategy" by Roger Wayne. However, he highlights the significance of discipline, and focusing on the big picture and the nitty gritty, small picture as well, such as being involved in the day-to-day as well.
-
Chris believes that listening to many podcasts that cover a subject or problem you're facing and then seeking highly rated podcasts that have addressed that subject has a significant impact on your professional development. It is frequently good to listen to those and other business owners and learn how they have dealt with problems in order to ignite your creativity for how you will deal with a similar problem.
-
Chris suggests that mastering customer relationship management (CRM) is a useful tool for small business success. Like if you could increase the size of your database of clients and prospects. And after that, you can give those folks extremely useful material, which will help your CRM grow and bring in more money.
-
Finally, if Chris could go back to day one of starting out, he would advise himself to just take it a day at a time, the best way to actually succeed is to not think ahead of all of the challenges and the stressors that might come to you.
