[[:encoded, "As a business owner, you often get pulled in many different directions, which can lead to thinly-spread focus and subpar quality of work. How many times have you started responding to an email, only to have a team member ping you to ask a question about an upcoming project, and then realize you had a meeting starting in two minutes?\n\nWhile there are many things that need your attention, not everything needs your attention right now. You can increase productivity by building a habit of time blocking each day.\n\nTime blocking is the practice of scheduling out each moment of your day on your calendar. It may look overwhelming to have a completely full calendar, but it’s a great way to understand when to focus on certain activities and create much-needed structure in your schedule.\n\nHow to start blocking out time on your calendar\nFilling up your calendar doesn’t mean it needs to be followed exactly, every single day. Allow for flexibility, especially as circumstances change and crises inevitably arise. Think of it more as a framework, a place to get started and increase productivity before you even start working. Let me share some ideal to help you to start setting up your own time blocking calendar or get even better at time blocking.\n\nStart with Your Own Routines\nWhile the majority of your day will be work-related tasks, it’s important to set aside time for your own personal routines. Working out, for example, provides many benefits for business owners. If you prefer exercising in the morning, block off an hour to an hour and a half in the morning on your calendar for your workout time.\n\nBlock Off Dedicated Email Time\nIt can be tempting to check each email as it comes in, but interrupting your current task you are working on to check your email can shift your focus. In doing so, it will take more time to refocus on what you were originally doing, leading to a less productive work session. Block off a couple of one-hour blocks during the day, as needed, to check and respond to emails. I recommend 11:00 and 4:00, so you aren’t checking email first thing and getting off schedule first thing in the morning.\n\nSave Time for Lunch\nDon’t forget to eat! Schedule lunch breaks or quick 15-minute breaks as needed. The rule is, if they’re on your calendar, you have to take them. This also helps you to set boundaries, so that others can’t disturb you during those set times. Taking a break to eat and recharge throughout the day can keep you mentally sharUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

[[:encoded, "Business professionals like you know that goal setting is vital. But sometimes, the process may feel overwhelming, or perhaps it just hasn’t worked well for you in the past. Have no fear. You will find the eight helpful tips I’m sharing with you to help you meet your goals. These go beyond the basics of goal setting, like brainstorming, writing your goals down, and creating an action plan. So, let’s go!\n\n1.\tPrioritize listening. For any business professional to meet their goals, they must possess a crucial soft skill: open-mindedness. This term means you can take in information that might challenge your beliefs. You’re able to ask questions and allow others to express their opinions, even if you disagree. Closed-minded people only care about their own viewpoints, and typically, they don’t give any consideration to other ideas. Without open-mindedness as a leader, you likely will not reach your goals, so listen, remain open-minded, and model trust and cooperation.\n\n2.\tUse strategic thinking. Sadly, failing to consider issues from a different perspective is common—plus limiting and short-sighted. Strategic thinking, though, means you can analyze critical factors that affect long-term success. To improve this skill, consider the big picture and planning ahead. Then, you’re able to view your options and make more intentional decisions. Strategic thinking helps put your thoughts into action, allowing you to meet those goals.\n\nApplying strategic thinking practices to your business will accelerate your success by allowing a crystal-clear focus to drive daily tasks - for you and your team. To download my complimentary copy of a strategic thinking model, go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/strategic-thinking-model/. \n\n3.\tCommunicate confidence. Think of confidence as an aura that accompanies you everywhere. Confidence causes people to notice when you enter a room. You turn their heads because your demeanor communicates poise and dignity. And by being self-assured, your team has a reason to look up to you. Then, they’re more inspired to work, creating a productive and trusting atmosphere that leads to high achievement. \n\n4.\tGuide your team like a coach. You may have had a favorite coach growing up. They likely guided and encouraged you rather than just barking blunt or unhelpful directions. With a coaching mindset, you’re able to communicate that you respect your employees, believe in their ability to grow, and value their contributions and Unlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

The only difference between the successful people and the mediocre is what we do with each day. We spend every second of every day doing something. Are those activities moving you forward or keeping you where you currently are?\n\nI just wanted to take a quick moment to say how much I appreciate your business and continued support.\n\nIt is a pleasure for me to be able to serve entrepreneurs and business professionals like you.\n\nI believe that you and I have the ability to have a positive impact on this world. That's why I'm so excited to serve our community.\n\n2021 has been written and I hope our relationship will grow into something even more amazing in 2022.\n\nWhen hard-working, values- and goals-driven people like you and I put our heads together, there's no limit to what we can accomplish.\n\nThank you for your continued support and I hope you let me know how else I can be of service to you in 2022 and beyond.\n\nI wish you a very healthy, happy, and profitable new year. \n\nOprah Winfrey said: “Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.” \n\nI welcome your comments and feedback on how I can help you make 2022 your best year ever!\nAim for what you want each and every day!

[[:encoded, "Life is in continual motion. There seems to be a blur between life and work and that is especially true for an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs, it seems, have a harder time separating work and life and home; they feel they need to be always available and always in “client search mode” as well as running the business. \n\nAre there secrets to attaining a work life balance? They aren’t exactly secrets, but sometimes in the hustle and bustle of life, we forget to breath and we allow our work and lifelines to coincide. Now is the time to take a step back and untangle those lines and get back to a better balance. \n\nIt is important to find a balance that makes both life and work fulfilling and enjoyable. If you don’t, you risk burnout in both areas of your life. Keep in mind that you won’t likely notice a large sign that lets you know your life and work are out of balance. The imbalance usually happens slowly and subtly, until you get to the point where you’re not functioning well in either aspect of your life. \n\nLet’s explore five ways I’ve learned that will help you attain a more balanced work and life. \n\n1.\tYou need to have boundaries. Even if you work from a home office you need to set office hours – this is for your clients and your family. Clients need to appreciate that you’re not on call 24-hours a day. Family needs to understand that between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm you’re working and shouldn’t be disturbed. These boundaries need to apply to your technology as well. Even if you’ve closed the literal door on your office, if you have your smart phone continually within reach, you will be distracted and tempted to check social media and emails and your work may again bleed into your home and family life. \n\n2.\tJust let it go. Being a perfectionist and trying to be everything to everyone is a recipe for disaster and burn out. If you’re feeling stressed in your personal life, you need to delve deeper into what those stressors are. The same goes for your work life; what is adding to your stress? Once you know what your stressors are, you can take steps to find those items you can simply let go of. Are there items that simply do not matter in the big picture? If so, cut them loose. The more items you can let go of (and that may mean delegating work or home tasks to others) the more balanced your life will be. \n\n3.\tWhat are your priorities? Just as important as knowing what your priorities are is knowing why they are important.

[[:encoded, "You have what they need! So, how do you get them to realize that you are the solution to what they are looking for, so they can be even more successful? Here are 5 steps for inspiring clients to want to work with you. It’s a win-win for everyone.\n\nStep 1: Get Them Talking\nFirst and foremost, make the conversation about them. Take the focus off “getting the sale” and instead use this time together to evaluate if you are the best person to assist them. Remember, you don’t want to work with anyone; you want to work ideal clients.\n\nAlthough you will be using this initial time together to evaluate if you want to work with them, keep the conversation focused on the prospective client.\n\nWhat is their current biggest struggle or challenge?\nWhat is their most immediate or long-term goal?\nWhat kind of support or guidance are they looking for?\n\nIf, at the end of the conversation, you conclude they are a potential ideal client, continue to Step #2.\n\nIf, at any point in the conversation, it’s apparent they are not an ideal client or if you feel you are not the best person to help them, politely end the conversation by thanking them for their time and clarifying how they can proceed. *If you are unable or unwilling to assist them, refer them to another reputable, high-quality resource whenever possible.\n\nStep 2: Connect Them to Their Current Pain\nThere must be a starting point where you help the prospective client see where they are right now. In other words, they must know where they are right now before they can receive guidance to get where they want to go. From there, it’s important to remember that there are only ever two driving forces behind customers and clients who sign up to work with you and your firm:\n\n1) Reducing/Eliminating pain or \n2) Increasing pleasure\n\nThe first step in inspiring them to work with you (assuming they are a potential ideal client, and you want to work with them) is to help them feel their current pain. Get them talking about their biggest struggle or challenge - help them connect to the discomfort - and then lead them through Step 3. \n\nStep 3: Inspire Them to Imagine Future Possibilities\nHelp them see that what they desire is possible - and that you can assist them in achieving it. Get them talking about their immediate and long-term goal(s) - asking how they feel imagining the real possibilities of their future. Reassure them that achieving any goal is simply a step-by-step process of “right steps” - and thatUnlock 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, there are things you must do in order to accomplish your goals, so you can have the kind of business and life you have dreamed of having. From managing a team to handling clients - and everything in between - it can be easy to lose complete control of your day. We all have the same 24 hours available each day; it’s how we chose to use those 24 hours that’s makes the difference.\n\nMeetings, client services, and a To-Do List a mile long are frequent daily tasks in the world of running a business. The key is to find an effective way to handle our daily routine to stay focused and on track to achieve your goals in the shortest amount of time and the least amount of effort.\n\nTip #1: Break Goals Down Into Daily Action Steps - and Track Them\nSomewhere between running a business and having a personal life, it’s not uncommon for our goals to fall by the wayside. Sure, we write out a Goal List, but it ends up at the bottom of a large stack of papers on our desk or filed away in a drawer, or in an electronic file on your desktop. If you are not paying attention to your goals on a daily basis, you’re probably taking the long way around. Break goals down into daily action steps and put them into your daily calendar/diary/or planner. Those action steps should be labeled high priority and handled as early on in the day as possible, or at the best time that leads to the best result. No excuses.\n\nTip #2: Remove Distractions and Interruptions from Your Life\nWasting time on low priority tasks is one of the most common sources of interrupting your success. Email - texting - social media - internet surfing - personal phone calls - chatting - etc. are time wasters for many of us. Work hours should be reserved for work. Distractions need to be a thing of the past and not the present, if you want to achieve your goals in the timeframe you have set. (Close email and internet outside specific time blocks. Turn off the ringer on your phone or filter calls through a team member. Remove paperwork that you are not currently working on from your sight.) Create a system that works best for you - and stick to it. Consistent execution of new habits that put you in the highest probability position to make better progress, so you can create the business and life you want is key. \n\nTip #3: Be Aware of Sabotaging Habits\nNo one is ever completely free of self-sabotaging habits, which is why it’s important to be aware of your tendencies.

Is this new job offer right for me or should I stay where I am? Should I have the fish or the beef? The choices we make impact our lives – sometimes in profound ways, others in subtle ways. \n\nSometimes, though, we feel overwhelmed at the variety of options ahead of us and we can’t, or won’t, make a decision. There is a song lyric that goes something like, “if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.” I always find that profound especially at those times when I don’t make a decision, or can’t decide which decision is the “right” one. \n\nIf you’re faced with decisions regularly, and who isn’t, it can be overwhelming. We can then start to suffer from decision fatigue. This state can impact us in small, or large ways. For example, if you get out of bed in the morning and the first thing you’re faced with is a refrigerator or cupboard full of breakfast choices, your brain is going into overload before you’ve even truly started the day. Imagine you decided the night before, “I am going to have a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast.” When you do this, you start your day without having to make a decision and can save your decision making for when you’re ready to start your workday. \n\nThere are some choices you will make in your life that have the potential to impact you in profound ways. Let’s explore three choices that I think might make a big impact: \n\n1.\tThe people with whom you surround yourself. The company you keep – professionally and personally – impacts how you see yourself, whether you’re encouraged or discouraged by them and the type of influence they may exert. Jim Rohn wrote, “you are the average of the five people with whom you spend the most time.” Who are your people and how do they impact you? Are they positive or negative? Their outlook can impact your outlook – either good or bad. \n\n2.\tHow do you spend your time? In your 24-hour day what do you do? Do you work? Care for children or aging parents? Do you have hobbies? Do you have pets with whom you spend time? When you’re not sleeping, what are you doing? You don’t have to be continually productive, but you do want to find ways to spend your days that make you happy.
