Unlocking Business Growth in 2025: Deploy this One Proven Strategy to Scale Your Business
As a business owner in 2025, you can try many different ways to increase sales and expand your presence. In my workshops, I introduce audiences to more than 100 specific things they can do to attract sales opportunities.
One strategy stands above the rest, and if you choose to bypass it, you will need to spend a lot of time and effort with other business growth techniques to get the same results as you can easily achieve with this one thing.
If you want to springboard your business growth, you need to accelerate your connections. Would you agree? I don’t mean just connecting on Facebook or LinkedIn or dancing or prancing about on TikTok to lure fans. I mean meeting other high achiever business owners who are perfect fits for what you offer, know the importance of investing in themselves, have money to spend, are willing to spend it, AND have vast networks of people similar to them.
The objective for joining such a business growth organization is to get introduced to potential JV (Joint Venture) partners so that you can collaborate with them to promote each other on a wide scale.
The easiest, fastest, cheapest way to accomplish all of that is to join a business growth community that focuses on two very important aspects:
- Business owner to business owner relationship building.
- Formulating JV partnerships, not just friendships, buddies in battle, or action-less affiliates.
Taking immediate action with just this one strategy, like...today…could be a deciding factor between whether your business remains at 5 figures this coming year (or less) like last year with little to no growth versus rapid expansion to 6 and even 7 figures.
Let’s support each other in business growth this year when you join the Achieve Systems Business Growth Community >>
Yes, the surprise of 2024 for me was discovering the Achieve Systems Business Growth Community. I had been looking everywhere for a vehicle to expand my Speakers Speak LIVE event for professional speakers and business owners who want to use speaking to build their business. We’ve been growing steadily over the past four years, but now I have JV partners through the Achieve organization promoting my Speakers Speak Group on Facebook and Speakers Speak LIVE on Zoom with me!
I’m looking forward to a year of growth that would not have been possible on my own, and almost impossible to NOT happen after I overcame my initial skepticism and embraced the Achieve community and its programs. Recently, I was invited to serve a supportive role as one of the co-leaders of the speaking track of Achieve, called an “Alpha Leader.” All of this over just the past year!
There should be no secret that my hope is that you will join Achieve Systems if you own a business and want to nudge its growth. I truly believe they’ve created the next-gen model for businesses to start, incubate and sustain massive growth!
If you’re not already seeing the value and are not quite ready to make a move to join, then at least consider coming to their February 2025 conference. If you’re a first-timer, you can be my personal guest and get in with a complimentary guest pass to both days. Just add my name “Marty Dickinson” to the referred by field and register here to attend >>.
Important! One week before every conference, I have a live Zoom call to share with you what I’ve learned about making the most from your investment of time and travel to attend the Achieve Biz Conference. So be sure to add my name in the form so I know to invite you to the Zoom meeting.
But, let’s remove my bias for a moment and turn what I’ve been personally experiencing through Achieve as a formula for you to find and evaluate a business growth community on your own to join, as if Achieve didn’t exist.
So, let’s get specific.
Five Compelling Benefits You’ll Enjoy Once You Join the Right Business Growth Community
Use these as your guide when finding and vetting business growth communities:
- NetBUILDING Opportunities
I prefer the word netBuilding over networking. Networking, to me, sounds like you’re all in it for yourself and just want to pound your company down someone’s throat. It’s a terrible way to approach building strong business relationships today. NetBUILDING is much more collaborative by nature. Related to an article I was featured to build your own network, you and your JV partner work together to create mutually beneficial offers to each other’s followers and connections. These offers are often not available to the general public. The right business growth community can offer platforms to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs, potential partners, and industry leaders that simple netWORKING companies fall short of. - Staying Ahead of Market Trends
With consumer confidence on the rise and a business-friendly political climate, staying informed about market trends is crucial. Business growth organizations often provide market insights, industry reports, and expert analysis to help you make informed decisions and capitalize on emerging opportunities. - Broad Visibility through Public Speaking
A good business growth community serves as a powerful catalyst for enhancing your awareness to the members and the outside world by creating a supportive environment where you can showcase your expertise and share your insights with others from in person and/or virtual stages. The community organization itself should have a proven track record for drawing audiences of hundreds of other business owners by hosting. Members should be eager to invite other members on their podcasts and t.v. programs. Additionally, the community you select should frequently facilitate connections with experienced speakers and mentors who can provide guidance and tips, further empowering you to effectively communicate your ideas and establish yourself as a thought leader in your industry. - Support System for Innovation
One of my most repeated sayings is, “You become who you hang around.” If you want to boost your business to 6 figures or even expand your business to 7 figures, you need to hang around (and build deep relationships with) other people making six and seven figures in their businesses. I have more than “40” Achieve members in my phone’s contact list that I can send a text message to at any time when I need a word of advice or some support of confidence. They get me because they’ve been there themselves. Business growth organizations can provide the encouragement, resources, and feedback needed to refine your ideas and bring innovative products or services to market. - Advanced Mastermind Groups and Accountability
As technology and business practices evolve rapidly, continuous learning…and doing…is essential. Many business growth organizations offer workshops, seminars, and training programs to help you develop new skills and stay competitive in your industry. Look for the rare trait of the organization conducting ongoing mastermind sessions where are to announce your goals for the coming week and month and be held to the fire to accomplish those tasks.
[Note: Achieve has virtual mastermind groups you can attend any day of the business week at no additional charge to your monthly membership. I’ve paid as high as $500/month to attend just one mastermind meeting each month and there were no additional resources or tools beyond that! Achieve charges only $50/month for access to any and all of its resources, tools and programs. Apply to join here >>]
With all of those benefits, the obvious question is how to find the right business growth organization. This decision is crucial and should not be taken lightly, as the wrong choice can lead to wasted time, money, and missed opportunities.
5 Steps to Finding and Selecting the Right Business Growth Organization for You:
- Dream BIG About Your Desired Outcome
Clearly outline what you hope to achieve by joining a business growth organization and go crazy with your expectations! Whether it’s expanding your network, joining a mastermind group, finding accountability partners, adding a credential to your name, accessing funding, or gaining industry insights, having clear objectives will guide your search. - Research Available Options
Investigate various business growth organizations in your area or industry. Using your favorite AI tool like ChatGPT or Perplextity can help when you add specific components you’re looking for in your search prompt. But, you probably won’t have to go further than asking business leaders you admire what business growth organizations they are involved with. Be particularly mindful to ask them what business networking companies they have joined in the past…and why especially why they terminated their membership…probably because of lack of ROI. Look for those that align with your business size, industry type, and business growth stage. - Evaluate the Organization’s Track Record
Look into the organization’s history, success stories, and reputation. Seek testimonials from current members to gauge the real value they receive from the business growth community. - Assess the Resources and Tools Offered
Examine the specific resources, programs, tools, and benefits each organization provides. Ensure they align with your needs and goals. - Attend Events or Trial Periods
If possible, attend events or take advantage of trial periods to get a firsthand experience of the organization’s culture and value proposition. [Action Note: As an Alpha Leader for Achieve, I can authorize a complimentary first-timer guest pass for any of their upcoming conferences. Just let me know you’d like to attend and I’ll get you setup from there.]
By carefully considering these factors and following these steps, you can find a business growth organization that will provide significant value to your business in 2025 and beyond.
Are You Ready to Take Action?
Thoroughly research and evaluate potential business growth community organizations, considering factors such as their track record, member success stories, and alignment with your specific ROI expectations.
Remember, a good fit can accelerate your growth and provide invaluable resources, while a poor match might leave you frustrated and no closer to reaching your dream ROI.
Take the time to attend events (inquire if free first-timer passes are offered), speak with current members, and carefully assess the value proposition before making your commitment. Your future success may well depend on this choice, so approach it with the diligence it deserves.

I’ve paid up to $5,000 to attend multi-day events where I’m promised to learn detailed strategies for business growth only to be led into a final day of sales pitches! Only Achieve Systems is one of the few I’ve attended where they actually deliver on their promise!
This two-day in person event is held three times a year and is called Achieve University. It is 100% included as part of your $50/month membership!
A small group of new member business owners from around the U.S. Canada and a growing number of other countries, are invited to attend in person in Denver, CO. Everyone walks out of the room with a plan for the coming year and their own conceived at the sessions, “million-dollar idea.”
How many business growth communities can you join and spend two full days with the owner of the company like Robert Raymond, a high-7-figure earner himself and other 7-figure earner guest speakers he brings in to share their deepest strategies for business growth?
Joining Achieve Systems for the sole purpose of attending Achieve University would be well worth its modest membership fee. Then, you’d still get admittance to all the conferences, access to the masterminds, use of the tools, connections to dozens of industry experts, accountability to getting tasks done, international presence through speaking, a path to writing your first or next book That’ll have to be a different post), and deep relationship building with potentially hundreds of other business owners and JV partners!
