Entrepreneurs and Business Owners

Are you working hard to grow your business and things aren’t happening as fast as you want?

Stop struggling and create a
MAJOR business BREAKTHROUGH.

You are about to learn 3 simple steps to eliminate your struggle and double your time off.


Do you feel overwhelmed, with all the information that you are exposed to on a daily basis: email, voice mail, the Internet, cable and social media?

Have you found yourself deleting emails without reading then?

Another reason we feel overwhelmed is due to the intense negative news that we all hear everyday. When dealing with that overwhelmed feeling regularly, you can either give up or figure out how to persevere.

Failure Is Not an Option

Remember Apollo 13? Failure is not an option. Failure is not an option for you either.

It is a little known fact that more millionaires were made during the great depression then any other period in history. And here we are again in a similar time. Is this your time?

One of the names you may recognize from this period is Harland Sanders aka, Colonel Sanders- the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

He learned how to persevere. At the age of 65, he started traveling by car to different restaurants and cooked his fried chicken on the spot for restaurant owners. If the owner liked the chicken, they would enter into an agreement to sell the Colonel's chicken.

Colonel Sanders would receive a nickel for each piece of chicken the restaurant sold. By 1964, Colonel Sanders had 600 franchisees selling his chicken. At this time, he sold his company for $2 million dollars.

According to a well-known legend, Colonel Sanders heard 1009 "no's" before he heard his first "yes".

How many no’s have you heard today, this week, or this month? Are you ready to quit? Remember he was turned down one thousand and nine times before he heard his first YES!

So how do you develop the perseverance you need in today’s economy?

Three Simple Steps to Success

There are three simple steps that will help you develop your perseverance and eliminate your struggle.


Step one –
Be intentional about what you expose to your mind to. I decided to go on news fast recently, so I turned off my cable. To get my necessary news, on Sunday or Monday- I log on to my favorite news website and look at the headlines and read the articles that are of interest to me. I chose not to listen to the same negative stories over and over again. I found myself being drawn into the 24/7-hour news World we live in. I find the important news stories I have heard about. So I stay informed. Trust me people will tell you about the big news story of the day.

Listen:

You must be intentional about exposing yourself to positive material. Make sure you are listening to mp3 or CDs that will encourage you. Some of my favorites are John C Maxwell- on Leadership, Brian Tracy, and Jim Rohn. Listen while you are doing something else- like working out, getting ready of your day or while you are driving. A technique that will increase your learning is called Spaced repetition. Listen to the same mp3 or CD for 7 days in a row. This will reinforce the learning process.

Reading
Read a book on leadership or self-development for 15 minutes a day. This will help keep your mind focused on material that will move you towards your goal. Plan when you are going to read- morning, during lunch, or evening time. Be intentional.

Affirmations- An affirmation is a positive statement written in the present tense. If you are not using this technique, write down a few affirmations to help you be intentional about your thinking. The national science foundation says we have 50 thousand thoughts a day. Those thoughts are either move towards your goal or away from your goal. A Key to you success is taking action. So, here are a few affirmations to get you started. I put my plan into action. I have the “do it now” habit.

When you are saying your affirmations the more emotion you have when you say them it will help reinforce the process.

Second Step:
Master your Time- I want you to determine the top 5 tasks to focus on daily that will give you the greatest result in your day. That is what I call your HPA’S (high payoff activities). Then I want you to spend 80% of your day on the top 20%. The LPA is your low payoff activities. A LPA for example is reading your email. Have you ever found yourself reading the same email twice in one day or maybe three times?

Here a few question that will assist you in determining your HPA’S.
1. You are completely responsible for the task, if you don’t do it the HPA it will not be completed.

2. The HPA is under your control.

3. What are the results you are expected to achieve in your position?

I believe when you focus on your HPA’S, you will become a High Performance Achiever!

Third Step:

Mastermind group- accountability is another key to your success. When you develop a mastermind group, make sure you have no more then 4 people. It keeps it simple. You want to make sure you have like-minded people on your mastermind. Are they all willing to work towards their goals and take action?

The fastest way to stop struggling and start growing your business is to hire a coach. You will be amazed how quickly you are able to achieve your goals and stop struggling.

The Bookends of Success
Dr. John C. Maxwell
NASCAR drivers know the importance of starting in the right place. Before a race even begins, they compete with one another in the hopes of earning the best starting position. At qualifying runs, held the week prior to the official race, each driver speeds around the racetrack in a timed performance. The driver with the fastest time earns pole position - or the right to begin the race in front of the other cars. A driver in pole position doesn't have to be concerned about passing anyone in order to win the race. All he or she must do is hold their position in order to win.
Conversely, a driver who does poorly in the trial run must begin the race in the worst possible position - at the very back of the pack. Stuck behind the other racecars, the disadvantaged driver has virtually no chance of winning. To finish first, he or she would have to pass every other car on the track during the course of the race.
In addition to starting strong, a NASCAR driver understands that his or her performance depends on finishing well. In a 500-mile race, leading for 499 miles is meaningless if a driver isn't in front at the checkered flag. Regardless of a driver's skill maneuvering the car early in the race, if he or she crashes or loses focus toward the end, the driver will forfeit the lead and lose the race. Nobody wins points for their position in the middle of the race; rather, each driver is assigned a place based on how he or she finishes.
THE BOOKENDS OF SUCCESS
Great leaders understand the two bookends of success: starting and finishing. We generally think about them in terms of doing a task or project. However, what's true in our approach to projects is also true in our approach to each day. How we spend our mornings and evenings has a tremendous bearing on the course of our leadership.
I use my morning to set up a game plan for the day. During this time, I allow no interruptions. I never schedule breakfast meetings, and I isolate myself from distractions. I do not permit myself to strategize years down the road or to project my thoughts months into the future. Rather, I narrow my focus to the upcoming 24 hours. I ask myself: "Just for today, how can I be a success?" Viewing life in 24-hour increments, I place a premium on each day. I try to make each one a masterpiece.
During the evening, I reflect on my day. By reflecting, I translate my day's experiences into learning opportunities. This process solidifies in my mind the lessons I've discovered or bits of knowledge I've uncovered. Reflecting also gives me the space to assess my progress on the goals I made during the morning.
Relaxation is another important part of my evening routine. I make a point to put my leisure time into activities that replenish me by refueling my energy. For me, such activities include spending quality time with my wife, reading a book, or studying Scriptures. Relaxation puts me in a good emotional state, lifts my spirits, and reminds me of the joys of life.
When I neglect to carve out time in the morning to plan my day, I notice adverse effects. First, I don't live my day on purpose. Instead of choosing where to invest my time, I cede control of my schedule to whatever circumstances happen to arise. Second, I squander my energy. Since I don't outline clear goals for my day, I float from one activity to another without getting anything done. Finally, when I skip my morning planning time, I feel overwhelmed. Since I'm ambitious, I have a propensity to bite off more than I can chew. If I don't focus my attention, the weight of my numerous involvements begins to drag me down.
When I am not intentional about setting aside evening time for relaxation, I encounter negative symptoms, too. First, I get uptight. My times of reflection and relaxation act like valves that release stress from my life. If I don't guard those times, I get tense, my thoughts are more negative, and my health suffers. Second, I lose passion. My leisure times fuel me. If I am not intentional about putting time into my favorite activities, then life loses its luster. Third, I miss chances to grow. When I don't reflect on the meaningful moments from each day, I rob myself of the benefits of experience.
SUMMARY
Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow is out of reach. That's why today matters. Leaders who value each day know the importance of starting well and finishing strong. In the mornings, they focus their energies on key tasks, and in the evenings, they replenish themselves. By mastering the bookends of success, leaders position themselves to make an impact every day.
