Don't be afraid to check that you're still heading in the right direction...for you!
Because in business, 'less' is almost always more...
Hint - It has nothing to do with size, and everything to do with mindset, culture and execution.
If you're always 'wearing the cape' in your business, you might want to hand it back for awhile - because trying to do it all will be your kryptonite.
A compelling vision; a talented team; an environment that fosters success. None of these can happen without a strong and visionary leader at the helm.
Opportunities. Are they things to be hunted down and meticulously planned for? Or do they unfold before you when the time is right?
It's hard to grow a successful business if the foundations aren't strong - and one of the most critical foundations is process.
Time. How precious it is. How it flies. So are you spending yours in the right way?
Are you spending your energy trying to force your opportunities? Or creating an environment where opportunities can flourish?
If you are serious about becoming a leader, then you need to make more time.
Do you see a blank page as an endless possibility? Or a reason to panic?
Unlearning old habits and norms that no longer serve you is incredibly liberating. But are you ready? And do you know how?
When it comes to learning, there definitely can be too much of a good thing. But do you know how to avoid the law of diminishing returns?
In business, as in life, having the courage to back yourself and act boldy is a big part of being successful. But what if courage alone is not enough?
If you feel as though time is always slipping through your fingers, it's time to reassess what you're doing with the time you have.
Do you find it difficult to identify what your priorities should be, and when? Then it's highly likely you're looking at your business all wrong.
If you want to smash your business goals, then you need a fool-proof business plan to get you there - and we've got just the thing.
Starting out. Gearing up. Established. As your business changes, so should your priorities - but are you getting this right?
Deciding to scale your business is a big commitment, and can be either incredibly exciting or totally terrifying. So which will it be for you?
Strategic partnerships. They can add value to your clients, revenue to your business and open up opportunities to grow. So how big is your network?
Do you want to maximise results, optimise resources, have clients that love you and less downtime and waste? Then you need to do things differently.
Don't immediately presume that you need to look elsewhere for talent. Sometimes a linchpin is right in front of you, waiting to be discovered.
Attracting a linchpin to be part of your team is only half the battle. Once you've found them, will you know how to keep them?
A linchpin is a pro-active self-starter who can have a massive impact on the success of your business. But do you know how to get one on your team?
The environment you work in has a massive impact on what you do and how you do it. So ask yourself - is your environment setting you up for success?
Forget your out-dated notion of sales. We all need to develop and hone the skill of articulating our value proposition and compelling others to act.
Do you have what it takes to build, develop and retain the best talent in your team?
Whether you are an entrepreneur or a leader in a business, not investing to maximise your most valuable asset is a big mistake? That asset is you.
Knowing how to identify, apply and articulate your unique strengths can make all the difference to your success and your performance.
Are you letting the crazy fear that you need to know it all and do it all control you? This is the surefire path to failure and burnout, not success.
The way you react to change as a leader is what can set your team up for success or failure.
The discipline of measuring results is a hallmark of successful people. If you don't measure, you don't know. Until it's too late.
A common assumption is that only new, inexperienced or failing businesses get stuck. Not so. Many successful businesses get stuck too. Here's why.
Are you so busy that you have forgotten to focus on the very things that create value and results?
Not all goals are created equal! Do your goals inspire you and create momentum, or crush you under the weight of unrealistic expectations?
I have recently identified a 'syndrome' that is afflicting business owners everywhere. It's called 'cottage industry thinking’. Could you be at risk?
