Start paying attention to the goals you set for yourself. Instead of setting a goal to increase your sales by 10%, what about if you set a goal to 10x your business?
Here’s the problem with trying to hit a modest 10% gain in your business. You’ll likely attain only a 5-8% gain if you’re lucky, or maybe your sales will even stay flat.
They say it takes 30 to 45 days to form a habit; 30 days of disciplined action dedicated towards an activity or in changing a behavior so you can achieve the new result you want.
In most cases, it’s not that you have a time management problem or a prioritization problem; it’s that you have a self-discipline problem. You might not be disciplined enough to stick to the thing that you need to do every single day to get the result you want.
The four employees just stood there in horror while my husband looked at what had just happened to our car.
It was as if they were frozen and didn’t know what to do.
There are three conditions that are critical for the growth of a small business. These three conditions are fairly straight forward in theory, but an entrepreneur’s ability to execute on all three might not be so easy.
It starts with Google. They type in your name, (or the name of your business) and they click on your website. If the homepage of your website is compelling, the next link they click will be about you. After that, they’ll likely click onto your blog to read your content, perspective, opinions and IP.
From there, they’re going to click on one of the social media icons that link them into your (very public and private) life so they can learn a bit more about you. Expect that they will look at the last 5-10 things you’ve posted on each social channel, and they’ll check who you’re connected to that they know.
The annual Million Dollar Consulting Hall of Fame meeting in New York is one of my favourite events of the year with Alan Weiss. On the Monday before the event, I had requested an Uber to bring me to the airport so I could fly to New York City.
The drive to the airport was fairly uneventful. We arrived at a very busy departures area and I instructed the driver to stop anywhere that was convenient for him and explained that I was happy to walk to my airline for check-in.
Have you ever wondered why some people seem to effortlessly build their business through a non-stop source of referrals while you’re left wondering why no one is referring their clients, friends and colleagues to you?
In the last few years, it seems that almost everyone has decided that they have what it takes to be a business coach. Marketers have made business owners feel flawed if they aren’t part of a coaching program or a mastermind, as though investing in these things is trendy and hip rather than an initiative that should be geared towards results.
I’d like to rant about all of the things that buyers should beware of, but instead, I’m going to offer you some suggestions on how to pick the best business coach for you.
