4 Tactics For Facing Setbacks

Sep 26 2017

Sooner or later we all face setbacks.

Some are not serious. Perhaps it’s a potential lead that you’ve been courting, and they finally make up their mind not to go with you. Sure, you’ve wasted some time, and sure you could do with the extra sales, but you move on to the next lead.

But what happens if it’s more serious? What happens if it’s a group of clients that represent half your business who decide to go elsewhere? What if it’s a fire, or a serious accident, or the death of a key person in the business? How do you face a serious, potentially business-breaking setback head on and come back from it?

Create Workplace Wellbeing Programs

Sep 19 2017

There are some well-established studies that show that “wellbeing” in the workplace makes a lasting difference to the bottom line.

Apart from these studies, by university psych departments as well as business schools, it’s logical if you think about it. Employees who are uncomfortable at work, who carry problems into work and don’t find a release at work, logically are not as productive as happy, engaged employees.

Employees who are engaged at work – who identify with their teams and the company, who feel pride in theirs and the group’s achievements, work more productively. Unlike their disengaged, unhappy counterparts, they jump at the chance to contribute to something they believe in.

All workplaces try to create “wellbeing” in one form or other. Think of the Friday drinks. But workplace wellbeing, leading to solid employee engagement is more than just the regular social event.

How do you create a working wellbeing program?

5 Personal Changes To Become a Highly Successful Entrepreneur – Part 1

Jul 18 2017

Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a highly successful entrepreneur?

I’m lucky because over the last 30 plus years, I have worked with people who have failed in business – as well as people who have created the most successful, sustainable and long-lived businesses, so I have been able to observe and learn.

While having a great business idea is essential, while being able to access capital is important, having watched the most successful entrepreneurs in action, I firmly believe that it is their mind-set that creates their success. I have studied my successful clients and I believe there are 5 fundamental personal changes that are required.

What are these 5 personal changes you need to make to become a highly successful entrepreneur?

Begin With The End In Mind

May 16 2017

Do you wonder how some people seemingly rack up win after win, complete project after project, apparently unswayed by detail and interruption?

Have you watched these people achieve goal after goal exactly as they set out to do and wondered what their secret was?

It’s because they set out with a very clear objective, and vision of what the end looks like. Stephen Covey (The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People) called it his second habit “Begin with the end in mind.”

If you have a very clear picture of what the end should look like, it resolves so many problems along the way. If you know exactly what you want at the end, the answers to questions about detail like “who should be involved,” or “who do we hire out of these choices,” or “which option is the best” all become clear because you know exactly who you need in your team to put it together because of the skills you need; what type of person to hire to best suit the way it is to be managed at the end; and which option – despite the cost – best meets your objectives most efficiently.

A vision of the end not only sets the goals, but because you are so clear on what it looks like, also establishes the correct process of getting there, because anything that doesn’t or isn’t likely to get you to exactly the right place is out. Read More
