The Accountability Coach: Business Acceleration | Productivity

[[:encoded, "Procrastination hits at the most inopportune times and halts progress, makes us miss deadlines and causes overwhelm. There are a myriad of reasons for procrastination and in order to help push past its potential downward spiral, you need to understand the reasons you procrastinate. Once you understand the reasons behind your procrastination, you can take steps to alleviate and eliminate it, so you can move forward. \n\nProcrastination can be a threat to your professional productivity and your livelihood. \n\nWhy do you procrastinate? \nThere are many who believe procrastination is a time management issue, but it’s not – it’s an emotional issue. When you delve into the emotional reasons you procrastinate you can move past it. \n\nHere are five reasons people procrastinate: \n1.\tYou’re not sure the project is worth the perceived effort you need to put in. If you’re not invested in the task you can tell yourself “it’s not worth it.” You may be right, but you need to determine how missing this deadline could impact your future self and business. \n\n2.\tYou fear failure. This is a major reason for procrastination – if you don’t start, you can’t fail. Your fear keeps you frozen. Lack of training or knowledge of the overall project could add to that fear. \n\n3.\tYou are already overextended, but still you said “yes” to a new project. If you are already overwhelmed, and you add another project, procrastination is almost sure to follow. \n\n4.\tYour perfectionist tendencies rise up. If you’re concerned that your efforts won’t yield 100% satisfaction, you are afraid to start. The desire to produce a perfect project helps assure you don’t work on it. \n\n5.\tYour time management skills are lacking. If you procrastinate because you are overwhelmed, it could be because you truly do have too many tasks on your plate. However, you could be procrastinating because you don’t know how to properly manage your time and your tasks. Additionally, if you haven’t written down all of the tasks you need to do, you could be imaging you have more to do than you truly do. Write down everything you need to get done and you may see it’s not as overwhelming as you imagined. Prioritize everything on your list with the most important items that will help you make progress on your goals (revenue generation, for example). How many items are on your list that can be delegated – and delegate them?\n\nTo help you be even more effective and efficient, so you can achieve your goals at an aUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

[[:encoded, "You don’t have to be an amazing orator to be an effective business communicator, but you do need to have communication skills that are finely honed. If you’re an entrepreneur or a business team leader, your livelihood or your paycheck could depend upon your communication skills. \n\nWhen you talk with a business owner who has effective communication skills you simply know it. That person is: \n1.\tSuccinct\n2.\tClear\n3.\tA Good Listener\n\nIf you aren’t certain whether your communication skills are as effective as they should be, or if you know they are lacking, I’m going to share seven ways you can easily improve your business communication skills. \n\n1.\tBe complete in your communications. There is no room for being vague when you’re speaking with a client, a potential client, or a team member. Don’t leave the conversation hanging to the point where the individual has to fill in the blanks because you haven’t given all the pertinent facts. Being succinct and direct is always ideal. \n\n2.\tYou need to be clear. This goes hand-in-hand with being complete. If you are delivering a communication and you’re stumbling over your words, backtracking to fill in the blanks of the earlier part of your conversation, and being unclear, you need to take a step back and work on your communication style. When you see the eyes of the listener glaze over or if they stop taking notes, you can be rest assured they aren’t certain where the talk is going, and they have lost track of it. \n\n3.\tYou need to consider the feelings of the individual to whom you’re speaking. With whom are you speaking? Is the person on the same page or at the same level of information for the discussion you’re having? Make sure there is no information spoken that could be misunderstood as that will put the listener at a disadvantage, and he or she may feel you’re withholding information. \n\n4.\tOffer concrete details. If there are steps in a process or in a project that cannot be wavered from, you need to offer those concrete details and back it up with examples. A concrete detail will leave nothing to chance and will help clarify the overall message. \n\n5.\tAll your business communications need to be correct. This is especially true if you’re communicating via email or other written forms of communication. There is no place for spelling or grammar errors. Don’t take shortcuts or do “shorthand” in your business communications. Every written communication you send should be as factually accUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

[[:encoded, "The idea to establish your business came from the belief that you could do it, that you had it in you. But then somewhere along the journey, you lost the conviction in yourself. Perhaps you wondered things like:\n\n•\tI’m too old to be venturing into this. It’s not within my capacity. \n•\tThis will consume all of me. \n•\tI won’t be able to pull it off. The risks are too great!\n•\tThe last betrayal was too great. I can’t trust people again. \n•\tI’m too old to keep doing this.\n•\tWith continual change, I can’t keep up.\n•\tIf I ask for referrals and introductions from my clients, they will think I’m too pushy.\n\nDo you know what all these statements are? They’re your limiting beliefs. They do nothing but incapacitate you and make excuses for not achieving goals that you desire. The solution for a big change and a big break is only a step away. Do you know what that step is?\n\nIt is overcoming your limiting beliefs and tapping into the power of your mindset. If you don’t know how to do that, keep reading. \n\nInitiating a Shift in Mindset to Overcome Limiting Beliefs\n\nBy overcoming your limiting mindsets, you can earn the freedom, meaningfulness, productivity, purpose, and the fulfillment you deserve. The truth is that nothing is beyond a human being’s reach, only if they put their mind to it. \n\nAll the power rests in the mindset and how you mould it to drive your success and fulfillment. Your mindset is how you think and your intuition regarding certain things. If only you could acknowledge one fact deep into your heart and mind, that limiting beliefs trigger unhappiness, you wouldn’t have difficulty changing it.\n\nIt is often an ignorance of this one vital fact that renders us incapable of overcoming the limiting mindset. A powerful and an unrestricted mindset can take you a long way. It helps you destroy all those barriers that inhibit your achievement of goals and your progress. \n\nLimiting Beliefs - Where do they come from?\n\nFirst of all, let’s understand that limiting beliefs are merely unconscious thoughts that sneak into our mind before we’ve had a chance to block them. These thoughts actually have a very cunning way of using our past bitter experiences to remind us why failure is more likely if we proceed with what we want to. \n\nHence, they stem from our past bad experiences in life or of those in our circle. But they can have other sources of origin as well.

[[:encoded, "You’ve probably read it all. You’ve opened multiple pages and tabs on the internet in pursuit of that crucial knowledge on how to create even better business goals, so you can accelerate your results.\n\nAs a business owner, your goals represent more than numbers on a scale. They serve as important milestones that motivate you and immortalize your contributions to your business, and to those you serve.\n\nWhen setting your goals, you have to pay attention to what your business stands for, what services or products you provide, who your target market is, how you hope to speak to that market, what solutions you want to provide, what milestones you want to set, and at what point to tick those milestones as complete.\n\nOther than these points, you should be ready to ask for help when your business needs it, hire valuable help, gain important skills, make tough decisions, and put in the work that’ll help you achieve these goals.\n\nEven while doing this, you are not assured of the success of any of these goals. Some goals may make a comeback year after year because they are not attained. When goals make a comeback regularly, it is possible to get frustrated to the point of quitting.\n\nThat’s why these seven tips for creating better business goals comes in handy.\n\n1. Rationalize the Results\nBefore setting your goals, it is best to think about the results you want to achieve. Take a longer look into the future and be reasonable with your expectations. In a year, what do you want to have achieved business-wise? \n\nAre these goals what you truly want? Are they also important enough for you to commit your valuable time and resources to? Are they worth investing in?\n\nWhen you think of the results you want to achieve, you should have absolute confidence in the path you are about to set yourself upon.\n\n2. SMART Goals Are the Key\nWhen creating better goals, you need to apply the SMART principles, which I’m sure you are familiar with. Your goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bound. \n\nSome people think their goals have to be ‘realistic.’ Realistic is somewhat relative. I believe that setting a goal that may seem a bit out of reach or a challenge works to motivate most people even more. If you don’t achieve this stretch goal, you will feel better because you will have achieved more than you would have originally set as a realistic goal. \n\nWhen your goals meet these principles, you have chalked off the greatest challeUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

[[:encoded, "As a business owner, you’ve certainly heard by now that setting goals, both personally and professionally, is an endeavor of the highest quality and leads to prosperity. It might even start to sound a little cliché, but why does goal setting really matter? After all, you probably have a general idea of where you want to go. Isn’t that enough? \n\nActually, it’s not. Come along with me as I show you why.\n\nLet’s start with your personal life. Maybe there was a point when you knew it was time to take action. Perhaps you wanted to shed some pounds, get more sleep, or eat better. Or maybe you wanted to save more money, give back through volunteer work, or carve out more time for your family and friends. All worthy goals…but where to begin?\n\nEven though it can be challenging to implement substantial changes, the advantages are nearly always in your best interest! But as you probably know, just wanting to achieve goals like these won’t get you very far. \n\nNo, you’ll need a plan.\n\nNow let’s switch gears and consider your life as a professional. Maybe your career is rocking along. You’re exactly where you want to be. Perhaps you’re t-h-i-s close to where you want to be. Or maybe you’re just getting started. No matter the phase of your business, the benefits of good ol’ goal setting can’t be overstated. In fact, it’s essential to your success as a business owner—just like it is in your personal life.\n\nWhile setting goals at work may not trim your waistline like a healthy diet would, it’ll point you in the direction of your dreams. And as a business owner, you really can’t succeed for long without it. Let’s take a closer look.\n\nBenefits of Goal Setting\nAs author, philanthropist, and coach, Tony Robbins, once said, “Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible”. That’s a pretty powerful statement. With this in mind, remember that goals are what gives direction and wings to your dreams. \n\nThere are five benefits of goal setting we’ll consider here:\n1.\tYou’ll gain clarity. Without clarity, you may experience a scenario like Abbott and Costello’s famous skit, Who’s on First. While their confusion is undoubtedly entertaining and memorable, you don’t want to create this absurdity in your own workplace. In fact, leaders who don’t set goals are likely to have subpar results, unengaged employees, and a company culture lacking initiative. On the other hand, by having clarity, you’ll better understand the purpose of your goals aUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!
