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.

Manage Your Time or Others will Do It for you

Manage Your Time or Others Will Do It for You

Harvey Mackay


I'll never forget an important time management lesson I learned in a seminar many years ago . . . especially how the instructor illustrated the point.
"Okay, time for a quiz," he said, as he pulled out a one-gallon wide-mouthed mason jar and set it on the desk in front of him. Then he produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.
When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is the jar full?"
Everyone in the seminar said, "Yes."
Then he said, "Really?" He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. Then he dumped some gravel in and shook the jar. This caused pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. Then he asked the group again, "Is the jar full?"
By this time the class was onto him. "Probably not," we answered.
"Good!" he replied as he reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full?"
"No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good!" Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked up at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?"
One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you really try hard, you can always fit some things into it."
"No," the instructor replied. "The point is if you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all."
So, today, tonight, or in the morning when you are reflecting on this story, ask yourself: What are the 'big rocks' in my life or business? Then, be sure to put those in your jar first.
And by the way, you get the same size jar as everyone else. No exceptions.
What changes from person to person is the size of each rock. I've got a couple boulders in my jar: family first, always. Things like friends, my company, my speaking/writing "hobby," maintaining my network, my volunteer commitments, my health, and my religion all take up a lot of space. The gravel is all the stuff that takes up more than a few minutes but doesn't necessarily happen every day, like a committee assignment, a vacation, learning new software... you get the idea.
And now, the sand. You can decide whether to be that 98-pound weakling who gets sand kicked at him, or the creator of a spectacular sand castle. The sand is the yes/no stuff that absolutely has to fit around everything else after it's in the jar. A little piece of sand in your eye is a big pain, and those are the ones that get the no-thank-you right off the bat. A little sand on an icy street is one of life's little pleasures when you live in snow country as I do. You choose the sand. It's your jar.
In other words, it's your time. Change the rocks, gravel and sand into hours, minutes and seconds. Then decide what your priorities are and how much time you'll spend on them. If you don't, someone else will decide for you and you'll end up with a jar full of heavy, jagged, nasty shards that nobody could touch without getting stabbed by another rock. Do you really want to spend your time working on other people's priorities?
As Benjamin Franklin said, "If we take care of the minutes, the years will take care of themselves." Good time management is taking care of the things that matter most to us first and keeping that jar of rocks in sight all the time.
My friend Lou Holtz has a great formula: W.I.N. -- What's Important Now? Use some of your precious time to figure out what's important in your life and you will win.
