How To Spice Up Your Business

How To Spice Up Your Business

My neighbor recently returned from a two-month trip to Alaska with a freezer full of fresh caught Salmon and Halibut. I was fortunate enough to receive a shrink-wrapped sampling of each which I enjoyed last evening. I used fresh thyme in the mushroom with red wine reduction sauce to top off the salmon steak. Yum. When cooking I have often found that the smallest little bit of spice can make all the difference. It's the same in business. One small step forward often turns out to be the very thing that takes your business to the next level.
There are other things you can do to quickly spice up your business. Below I have listed several ingredients that you can add to your current business recipe that are sure to add some heat.
1. Chilies - There are many different varieties of chilies. The small red and green fresh chilies are known as Thai or bird's eye chilies and are extremely hot. One of the hottest varieties is the fat and fiery Scotch Bonnet or habanero. It has a spicy smell and flavor and can be red, green, yellow or brown. The most commonly used fresh green chilies are serrano, jalapeno and poblano, which are all very hot.
When you find yourself dragging through the days and weeks, you need to connect with others that can energize you. Make an investment of time each month to meet new people, hear their stories, struggles and successes. I know it is difficult to meet strangers, but I guarantee that you will make new friends and business colleagues.
Check your local newspaper or magazines for networking events, or use Twitter to follow key business people in your city. Do these few things and it won't take long to find a few fun opportunities to connect in person.
2. Ginger - A root of Chinese and Indian origin with a silvery brown skin, ginger is best used fresh, and should be peeled and chopped or crushed before cooking. It is available in supermarkets - looks for shiny smooth fat roots. Store in the salad drawer of the fridge, wrapped in kitchen paper.
If you can't get out of the office, another alternative is to invest some time connecting with like-minded people in an online social network setting. It's not a substitute for meeting people in person but when it's all you can do, at least it's better than sitting around in a funk.
I'd start with LinkedIn, a popular and easy to use business social networking platform that connects millions of people around shared topics of interest. Once you have signed up and created a profile, you can access the "Groups" tab to preview hundreds of options. I suggest you enter keywords that describe your areas of interest. The largest groups will be displayed first and you can preview the group and its members. Once you find one of interest, just join for free and select to way you would like to communicate with the group. A group administrator will review your request to join and approve. Well-maintained social groups always have members online so you are bound to get a response fairly quickly.
3. Peppercorns - White, green and black peppercorns are berries from the same plant, picked at different stages of maturity, and are used whole and ground. Pepper has a pungent flavor and can be used in either savory or sweet dishes. Peppercorns can be used whole, crushed or ground. Szechuan pepper is also known as anise pepper. The berries are red-brown in color and are prickly. They are spicy with a rather numbing taste.
Seeking professional help for your business can come in a variety of forms. There are consultants, coaches, mentors, experts and educators to name a few. If you are stuck in rut with your business, using someone to affirm your ideas or give you objective feedback can be the answer to ignite the fire within you. The truth is that no one is going to do it for you, but using the wisdom and inspiration of others can get you back on the path to success.
As a blogger and marketing consultant, I connect with people all the time, either with my clients, business colleagues or on social networks. But when I need a kick-start, I go someplace new, someplace where no one knows me and I don't know anyone else. Almost without fail, when I reach out, others reach back and meet me where I am at that moment in time. It's a remarkable stimulus, and sometimes, just the spicy ingredient I need to heat up my passion for my business.
