How To Automate Your Business And Take A Holiday

Sep 04 2018

Here is a good measure of how your business is doing – as a business – and as your life’s achievement: can you take four weeks off and have a real holiday where you are not checking in?

Ultimately, that is the business we all started – the business that is successful and profitable and provides you with a lifestyle. But most of us work in businesses that are quite the opposite! Most small business owners are tied to their businesses and even if successful and profitable, certainly does not provide that lifestyle we all dreamt about. Most small business owners will be worried about taking too long a holiday from their businesses in case something goes wrong.

This fear can take the form of an angry customer that nobody else knows how to handle or what to say to him. It can take the form of an error in the day to day processes that only you know how to fix, or a new employee requiring training that only you can give her, or a decision about some outcome that nobody else can make.

The question is really about how you take the business that depends entirely on your knowledge and your ability to make decisions, to a business that runs like an automatic ticking clock? Read More

Small Business Owners Need To Get Past Their Comfort Zones

Aug 28 2018

As a small business owner, at least one of your personal goals is to be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle that you can enjoy.

As human beings, we tend to move toward comfort. Sure, sometimes, we like a challenge. But ultimately even as we deal with challenges, we look to the comforts that successfully dealing with the challenge will bring.

However, in order for your business to succeed, you have to push past your comfort zone and push up against some uncomfortable challenges. No truly successful business was ever born out of taking the easy way unless your measure of success is “just getting by.”

So, what do we need to understand about comfort zones in order to meet these challenges head-on?

In this video, I take you through the three zones that you have to move past in order to push your business to success.

The beauty of this model is that it is not only about business success.

In life, most of us are happy sitting on the couch at home and watching your favourite program on the television. But if you want your life to be meaningful, you need to get up off the couch and do something that is within your range of possibility – like play a sport or enjoy an experience with friends. If you want your life to be fulfilling and really successful, you need to push past fear into the zone of challenges like try a new skill, change your job, start a business, meet new people!

How To Use Technology In Your Small Business

Aug 14 2018

If you think we have seen enough business disruption from technology already, wait for it.

There’s more to come.

What has been called “The Fourth Industrial Revolution” is still being played out, and there is little doubt that it is going to lead to a step-change in business, productivity, and customer experience. What is yet to come will not be a smooth upward slope but a significant step up in the use of technology ion business. Some of the technologies that are being introduced or developed are more integrated smartphone apps, Artifical Intelligence, augmented reality, sensor technologies, 3D printing, blockchain cryptocurrencies, GPS and robotics. These and their combinations as they develop will cause us to need to adapt our business processes or suffer the consequences of tougher competition.
