“HOPE - Help One Person Everyday”

Acronyms are great for rememberings things and keeping a particular value front and center on a daily basis. Today, we share an acronym that Allison created about succeeding in business. These 7 elements are common in all successful business owners’ strategies. 

 

This acronym is VA VA VOOM. “Va va voom” is a phrase that has been used in cartoons and has many positive meanings like exciting, enticing, appealing, attractive, vivacious, energetic, and passionate.

 

• V
  Visibility. People can't do business with people who they don't know. You can’t be successful if you’re not visible to your ideal clients so show up on social media and be an active networker.

 

• A
  Authenticity. There is a desire to put only our best foot forward, especially in online spaces. However, when we show up as our authentic selves, it attracts people and opportunities that are meant for us and repels those that are not. 

 

• VA
  Value-add. Adding value is something we should be thinking about all the time when we’re interacting with people. Going the extra mile for someone distinguishes us as someone who creates value and cares about the individual we’re connecting with. 

 

• V
  Vision. You need to have a crystal clear vision to be successful in business. Create a clear vision and think about it when you’re making business decisions. 

 

• O
  Offers. This is how you engage with the world and bring your value-add to the market. Think about the value that you're creating and providing, and make sure that you have crafted a compelling offer for your ideal clients. 

 

• O
  Optimization. Think of optimization as the delivery of your offer. Think about how you’re going to engage with your ideal client. Make sure that you spend some time focusing on optimizing your offer.

 

• M
  Monetization. Monetization means turning something into a revenue-generating activity. Monetization is often an afterthought for many people in business. However, the more time and effort we put into monetization and coming up with multiple revenue streams, the more financially successful we can be.
