5 Ways to Increase Your Business Efficiency with Time Blocks
[[:encoded, "As a business owner, the only real challenge you have is time. Time is a factor that stands against you due to its limited availability. There are only twenty-four hours in a day (8 to 10 hours for sleep, transportation, eating, and other chores to do). Due to this limited time, learning to manage your time effectively is the best way to reach your goals.\n\nTime has a powerful impact on your overall results. At the end of every day, it is important to take stock of what you were able to achieve. Also, pay attention to how you split your time during the day.\n\nAs a business owner, many activities impact the way you manage your time. There are prospects to contact and follow-up with, the financials to pay attention to, existing clients to service, and inventories to monitor. In addition, there are also other important aspects of your business such as bills to be paid, staff to manage, and all kinds of decisions to be made. In short, there aren’t enough waking hours to deal with all there is to be done.\n\nThis is why effective time management is a vital skill for all business professionals and seasoned entrepreneurs. \n\nHow can you manage your time effectively?\n\nEffective time management is where time blocks come to the rescue.\n\nThe challenge you, as an entrepreneur, face is your inability to streamline your focus into a few tasks without getting distracted by other tasks to be completed.\n\nLack of focus becomes a problem because when you split your attention into all the tasks you have to complete. You won’t be able to complete any of them while doing this. As a business owner, new tasks can spring up daily, and you’ll need excellent time management skills to carry out your business.\n\nTime blocks serve as a way to carefully break your day into very specific blocks of time. Activities are scheduled for certain hours (blocks) of the day.\n\nWhen managing your time, you can streamline your focus into a few tasks that should be completed daily.\n\nTime blocks help you keep your focus on a particular task at a particular time, and for a period of time. By doing this, you can avoid procrastination and complete each task more quickly. You can also make important decisions and become up to 80% more productive.\n\nFive ways to improve your time management using time blocks\n\nThere is a shift in work ethics requirements from how much work is done to what results are produced at the end of each day. Because of this, multi-tasking has been exposed to prUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

5 Ways to Set Realistic “Stretch” Goals
[[:encoded, "All entrepreneurs have big dreams. The ability to dream of better lives and achievements is what drives many to start their own business. \n\nAs a business owner, your single goal is to ensure the success of your business. This is done by making in-depth plans and decisions targeted towards the survival and growth of your business.\n\nWhat this means for your personal life is long hours dedicated to gaining essential skills, building your business, making leadership connections, and possibly working twice as hard as other business professionals.\n\nYour business should have its unique goals broken into milestones that’ll help you track your progress and gauge your performance compared to your competitors. \n\nThe ability to set realistic “stretch” goals and following them to completion has always counted as a skill successful business owners have.\n\nGoal setting helps measure your level of success in ways that hold you accountable for every milestone. This is because setting realistic “stretch” goals challenges you, motivates you, and keeps you focused while providing a tangible measure of growth and success.\n\nWhen it comes to goal setting, you can dream big. The important thing to keep in mind is to dream in moderation. The end goal may be to grow and expand and become the powerhouse in your niche. Recognize that while setting your goals, you should make them a realistic “stretch” in ways that make every milestone achievable.\n\nConsequences of Setting Unrealistic Goals \n\nUnrealistic goal-setting practices are the bane of many entrepreneurs. The pressure of climbing a mountain so high and steep without any experience with its challenges cause many businesses to fail after a short period of time.\n\nIt is essential to focus on what the consequences of setting unrealistic goals have on an entrepreneur and their business.\n\nNegative Emotions\nWhen you set unrealistic goals, negative emotions begin to set in. For every failed contract comes disappointment and for every sluggish sale comes sadness and anxiety. This can slowly deteriorate to lower self-esteem and a slew of medical problems. \n\nSetting unrealistic goals creates an insurmountable obstacle that prevents you from seeing your little wins. \n\nUnrealistic goals also put a strain on your relationship with your friends and family. When it seems like you are surrounded by others who keep winning, feelings of envy and jealousy begin to creep in. This, in turn, makes you avoid and neglect the sUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

7 Tips to Enhance Your Performance in Life
[[:encoded, "The need for a balanced life is more important than ever. Too often, our work life and personal life overlaps, so enhancing your overall performance can only benefit both aspects of your life. Having a growth mindset can help you to overcome any challenges you may face, both professionally and personally.\n\nBy following these seven tips to enhance your performance in life, you’ll be more likely to maximize your potential and reach your goals in the timeframe you desire. Are you ready to start implementing changes into your life that will increase your performance and help you grow as an individual? If yes, then keep listening!\n\n1. Set Crystal Clear Goals\nAs a business owner, you may be constantly thinking about setting your team up for success, but don’t forget about yourself! Set yourself up for success by setting clear goals. You set your annual goals and review your progress every month to help you know where you are against your annual goals, so you can course correct, if you are off track at all. \n\nIf you’re not sure where to start, you can start by setting longer term, larger goals and breaking them down into smaller and more manageable goals.\n\nFor example, you can set a goal of running a half marathon in the next year. Break that goal down weekly by starting small and running 3 miles a week, then build up slowly until you’re running more and more each week. By the time the half marathon comes along, it’ll be a breeze for you to do!\n\nAnother example is, instead of setting a goal to “increase revenue for the year,” set a specific goal with an actual number, such as “increase revenue to $120,000 by year end.” Then break that down into smaller goals by month, such as “hit $10k in revenue per month.” Once you have a more concrete goal, you can plan out the actual steps it takes to achieve that goal!\n\n2. Practice Effective Communication\nEffective communication is so important in both our personal lives as well as in business. Practicing empathy goes hand-in-hand with communicating effectively. Whether you’re speaking with a loved one or a co-worker, approach the conversation with empathy and an open ear. Start by trying to see where they’re coming from, and use phrases to describe how you feel, not what you don’t like about the other person’s actions.\n\nListening well is a very important skill that needs to consistently be practiced to be refined. It can be easy to hear something and react immediately. It’s much harder to listen, take tiUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

5 Tips to Trick Your Mind into Overcoming Procrastination
[[:encoded, "Mind over matter, right? Sometimes, that’s easier said than done. When we’re faced with a laundry list of to-dos and with not enough time in the day, it can be easier to distract ourselves and push things off to the next day. And when more items get added to our list, it becomes overwhelming, and we continue to procrastinate even more. A vicious cycle, but one that can be overcome.\n\nIn order to overcome procrastination, we have to first understand it. Start with perspective—procrastination may not be something you can ever fully get rid of. And that’s okay. When you accept that it may be a part of your process, that’s the first step to figuring out how to work through it. The reason why many of us procrastinate is because we choose to do something that’s more immediately gratifying than something we know we need to do, but it is probably not as fun. Procrastination is an emotional reaction, and we put off necessary tasks in order to stay happy in the moment.\n\nSo, how do you overcome procrastination and move on to a mode of productivity? Here are 5 tips to trick your mind into overcoming procrastination.\n\n1. Make It Super Easy to Get Started on Your Task\n\nThe hardest part of completing some tasks is getting started. Sometimes thinking about a task can snowball into feeling overwhelmed because of what the task entails. If you’re going into the task with a dreaded mindset, that will make it harder to get started. It’s much easier to get started if you don’t think about it as much.\n\nFor example, if the task at hand is getting out of bed to go work out, you might find yourself thinking about how you have to find your workout clothes, then you need to make sure you have clean socks, and by the time you work out, half your day will be over—before you know it, you’ve convinced yourself to stay in bed.\n\nSet things up ahead of time so it’s super easy to get started. If your goal is to work out in the morning, make sure your clothes are laid out the night before. Then, when you wake up, just get out of bed. Don’t spend time thinking about whether or not you want to work out, or you’ll fall into the same pattern as before. Just get up, get dressed, and get out.\n\nIf the task at hand is making prospecting calls to potential clients, start with making a list of people to call and the script you will use for what to say. Once you have that list and script, set it next to your laptop (or open it in a notes document on your laptop) the day before you even Unlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

5 Types of Cybersecurity Threats
[[:encoded, "There is an entire industry dedicated to fighting cyberattacks and making sure other companies have solid cybersecurity systems in place. Cyberattacks have become increasingly common, and typically involve some sort of breach of information systems to steal sensitive data or deny users’ access to their data. Many attacks have a financial motive, so it’s crucial to protect your company against the possibility of a breach.\n\nIt only takes one attack to bring down a network and do serious damage to your business, but if you take the necessary steps to protect your systems, you have a much better chance of thwarting any hackers’ attempts.\n\nThere are several different types of cybersecurity threats, and it’s important to know what they are so you can understand how to fight them.\n\n1. Malware\nMalware, or malicious software, is an umbrella term for all sorts of programs designed to hack, disrupt, or damage a device. Malware breaches the security of your device and can steal data or control your device. It works by tricking users into clicking something they shouldn’t click, which then downloads malicious code into their system. Types of malware can include viruses, trojans, spyware, bots, bugs, and ransomware.\n\nYou can prevent malware by using tools that detect a breach early, such as software that scans your network, and removes any malware it detects. Never click on a link you aren’t exactly sure where it came from. Even emails that may seem okay and legit, are not. \n\nMalwarebytes offers a free and an affordable paid version to help with possible malware issues on your computer. Check it out by going to https://www.malwarebytes.com/. I personally use this software on my computer and on my phone. \n\n2. Ransomware\nRansomware is exactly what it sounds like—your data is taken hostage until you pay a ransom to get it back. It can be considered a type of malware, and is spread throughout your network through various ways, such as phishing emails that have malicious code attached, or drive-by downloading, which is when a user visits a site that’s infected with malware and unknowingly downloads it to their device.\n\nOnce ransomware has infected a device, it encrypts the user or company’s data so they can’t access any of their files. It spreads quickly across the database and servers, and the attacker holds a private key needed to decrypt the files until the ransom is paid.\n\nThere may be some situation in which the attacker refuses to release the privUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

Using a Goal Setting Vision Board to Reach Your Dreams
[[:encoded, "Having dreams and goals is an incredible thing; it keeps you motivated and gives you purpose. But without a well-thought-out plan, a goal rarely executes well. Planning is a fantastic way of staying focused on your goals and achieving personal greatness. \n\nVision boards are helpful and inspirational tools that make your dreams and goals feel more accessible. These boards can be a fun art project that maximizes your motivation and pushes you to try harder.\n\nVision boards are like a sacred visual space that displays all things you want to achieve in life. Therefore, it helps you stay on the right path. Let’s discuss how you can set a goal-setting vision board and effectively use it as a visualization tool.\n\nWhat is a Vision Board? \n\nA vision board is a physical reminder of things you want to achieve in a specific timeframe. Typically, vision board ideas include photos, words, and virtually any other visual displays. \n\nThese boards act as a visualization tool to help you hit your personal, professional, and material goals. By placing visual representations of your dreams in one space, you can look at them daily and even activate the Law of Attraction.\n\nHow Do You Use a Goal Board, Dream Board, and Inspiration Board to Set Goals? \nVision boards are the perfect tool to picture your dreams and goals. Goal boards, dream boards, motivational boards, inspiration boards, and various other different types of vision boards serve the same purpose: to inspire, to motivate, to help you achieve great heights. \n\nVision boards help you set goals in two ways:\n•\tTap into your receptivity and imagine all that could and can be. These visions include color, feelings, words, or sensations\n•\tUnlock your space of intention and find your deepest desires by engaging in expressing, exploring, and representing them \n\nWhat is the Difference Between a Vision Board and Goals? \n\nWe are all guilty of making extensive lists of goals and resolutions. We all create plans, set goals, and make resolutions- but more often than not, our goals may not always be realistic, and our plans and resolutions fall apart. \n\nWhenever our goal doesn’t go the way we planned, we feel defeated, hopeless, and unworthy. And then the next year comes around the corner, and we repeat the cycle. \n\nVision boards help you break the cycle.
