Selling In A Skirt

What is the most important job you have as a leader? Results, goals or people? Door #3 would be the best choice. Being able to bring out the best in people is something that needs to be practiced, reinforced and used every single day. Whether you are results oriented or people oriented, it is a balancing act and less than 1% of leaders are rated high in both. Time to take a look and see how we can change this. Be generous, clear, persistent, open-minded at present to start.

No one said it was going to be easy to start and run a business. It requires dedication, focus, hard work, some tears and a great team to support you. Many times you look for new ways to market your offers and other times you look for new ways to stay motivated. It comes down to inspiration. Do you need to be inspired or do you inspired others? Inspiration whether given or received cannot be forced. Sometimes it comes to you when you least expect it and the flood gates open.

So many of us are prepared to fail, learn the lessons and start again. How many of us are prepared for success? What is your definition of success? Where are you now, where do you want to be and how do you plan on getting there? Why are we more accustomed to failing? What does it take to make sure we are being prepared for success in business? Almost every successful person begins with two beliefs: the future can be better than the present and I have the power to make it so. Be prepared!

Almost 500 businesses start daily and only 5-7% are serious because the rest are not setting goals. In a survey of 3000+ individuals, 88% failed because they had no goals. Setting goals and crashing through them takes a system. They have to be SMART, you need to work backwards, you need to get everything on your calendar and you have to follow-through. If you want to reach a goal, you must "see the reaching" in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal...and then CRASH through them.

Are you writing, using pictures, recording or speaking, the bottom line is you have to do something that people will ask for more and that begins with creating great content. While great content is kind, or queen in this case, the way we get it out and the way it is shared changes on a daily basis. The one underlying theme that has not changed is bringing your reader, attendee and listener great content that is valuable to them. If there isn't value, there isn't a reason to share it.

45% of our behaviors are habitual. Some are great habits and some have opportunities for change. Is being loyal a habit? Customer loyalty is something we strive towards. Are people using your services or products out of loyalty or out of habit? Are they connected? It costs 5x more to cultivate a new customer than it does to go back to an existing one. Loyalty can do wonders for your bottom line. Don't forget employee or team loyalty either. That is the heart and soul of your business.

Collaboration is the act of working with others to produce or create something. Alignment can be seen as having everyone on the same page. Is there a way to find the correct alignment between collaboration and performance? The essence of teamwork is collaboration. Having a workforce and strategies that are similar can keep you in alignment with your team and your clients. The ultimate measure of success is performance. Getting everyone rowing in the same direction can lead to success.

Leadership-when was the first time you noticed it? Was it on the school playground or perhaps playing "Simon Says"? A leader is not created alone. A leader needs the guts to stand alone and look ridiculous, until someone can follow them. As a leader you need to make what you do simple to follow. The first follower transformed that one person into a leader. When you find someone doing something great, have the guts to be the first person to stand up and join.

What is that underlying thought or feeling that surfaces more often than not? You can see it clearly and it takes over everything else. Creating a vision and moving towards it is what's next for you. Think of your vision like a kaleidoscope. You get to keep turning it and turning it and even thought some of the designs are quite beautiful, you haven't seen the vision you are creating in your mind. It doesn't have to be perfect. It needs to be perfect for you. Creating a vision...your vision.

When you ask most entrepreneurs what they want from their business, many say clients that need them, content that makes people think, adding value and a way to change the world. How do you leave your mark on the world? Is being famous a criteria for leaving your mark? Hardly. Being famous may give you the platform but with social media, your stage is there. Have you thought about why you want to leave your mark? Is it something that will last a lifetime? What do you want to be known for?

Has business changed over the years? What we didn't have then, we have now. Social media has changed the way we do business and cell phones bring us closer to those that are far away and further from those that are close. So is it easier or harder to do business? Is being able to share your message more successful? What do you wish you had when you started and what do you wish would disappear today? Either way, it all takes time and effort and being persistent...for better or worse.

Attitudes are contagious-Is yours worth catching? If you want to have a successful business, your attitude has a tremendous impact on everything and everyone around you. Life is 10% of what is happening and 90% of how you react...yes your attitude. While it is hard to be positive all the time, you can incorporate different steps to having the right attitude as much as possible. No one wants to be a Pollyanna so try starting with listening to what you say out loud and to yourself.

Many of us started our entrepreneurial journey with a lemonade stand or selling girl-scout cookies. Others may not even thought of having a business and yet so many have done just that. The unexpected entrepreneur has brought so many new ideas to the table and once they knew the value they had, they continued to grow. The unexpected entrepreneur plays well with others and has solutions to problems, creates amazing ideas and works smart. Are you an unexpected entrepreneur?

We've all heard that if you have passion & heart you can start your own successful business. Unfortunately that doesn't always work. What you want to determine is if you have a business or just an expensive hobby. The sad reality is the 9 out of 10 start-ups will fail so do your research, build your audience, never stop learning, love technology and think about revenue from the beginning.

So many people are starting businesses because someone admired what they did or wore or baked or told them everyone will love what they do. We always hear "Do what you love and the money will follow" but...is your passion enough? Can you really make money doing that? While passion is a big component for success it isn't enough. We all need to know what we are good at, what we need help with, who we want to do business with and...can you really make money doing that?
