Being Thankful and Grateful is Always Important
[[:encoded, "How would you answer this question? Are you a grateful person? \n\nAre you thankful for the good things, big and small, in your life?\n\nAs quickly as time moves, technology advances, all the work deadlines and a long to-do list, and personal chores we have to do, it is sometimes too easy to forget all the things we are grateful for and all the gifts we receive every day. I’m talking about simple things like, the air we breathe, the health we have, and our friendships. There is always something to be thankful for, in my opinion. I’m just as guilty as most of us and sometimes forget to focus on all the things that I’m grateful for, but I do try to be even more grateful each week and as time goes on.\n\nJim Rohn has a great quote. He said: “Learn to be thankful for what you already have, while you pursue all that you want.” \n\nWhat are all the things you are grateful for?\n\nAt the end of the day, right before you go to sleep, think about all those things you are grateful for, and see how well you sleep. \n\nI’m grateful for you and for you listening to my Accountability Coach podcast.\nLet me know how else I can be of service to you on your goal achievement journey, so you can have the kind of business and life you truly want and deserve.\n\nAim for what you want each and every day! \n\nIf you are getting value from any of Podcasts, please take a minute to leave me a short rating and review.

3 Tips for Building a Team that Increases Your Success
[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about 3 Tips for Building a Team that Increases Your Firm's Success.\n\nIf you want to learn how to build a team that builds success, you will want to take a look at the big picture. Take any successful entrepreneur, and behind him or her, you will find a well-suited team of supportive, knowledgeable, and energetic members all dedicated to increasing the success of your business.\n\nTip #1 for building a team that builds success. If you’re trying to understand how to build a team that builds success, you should first pinpoint the mission of your business. Only when you have a clear understanding, as a leader, of the mission of your business, can you build the right team. When you can clearly identify and emotionally connect with the mission, you are able to identify the right people who are best suited to support the success of your business.\n\nDepending on the mission statement of the business, you may need to focus on building a team of creatives, analytics, intellectuals, or spiritualists. For example, a PR (public relations) firm wouldn’t necessarily build a team of spiritualists; that personality would be better suited for a business that is motivational or inspirationally based. A PR firm would more likely hire creatives and intellectuals. Another example of personality matching would be an accounting firm; they would look to building a team of analytical members, not necessarily creatives or spirituals. \n\nAlways start with the mission of the business, and then build your team. Let’s say you need an assistant to travel with you to help you with live events such as seminars and guest appearances. An important personality factor would be to ensure the team member has the following qualities:\n•\treliable and punctual\n•\tgreat organizer\n•\tkeeps you calm under times of stress\n•\ttakes care of the small details so you don’t have to\n•\tloves traveling\n•\tlove meeting new people\n•\thas a personable, magnetic personality \n\nAction Step #1\nRevisit your professional mission statement. If it doesn’t “sit right” with you or isn’t specific enough, rewrite it. Your mission statement should always begin with benefit(s) to your clients (and who those clients are), followed by a reason(s). It should always invoke some meaning for you, as in a passion or personal mission. \n\nFor example, “ABC International is dedicated to providing expert overseas investment advice to small business owners (less than 20 employees) in thUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

10 No-Cost, Low-Cost Ways to Grow Your Business
[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about 10 No-Cost, Low-Cost Ways to Market Your Business for Increased Success. \n\nGreat marketing goes beyond traditional marketing strategies. We’ve been experiencing a whole new era of online and offline marketing that allow you to market one-to-many for the best results. You don’t need expensive marketing resources to produce great results - here’s where you can get creative and have fun! Here are 10 No-Cost and Low-Cost Ways to Market Your Businesses.\n\nTip #1: Reach Out To Strategic Partners\nStrategic Partners are a complement (not competition) to your business (as your business is to theirs). Provide an Ideal Client Description and ask if they know someone who is an ideal fit. If they do know someone who would benefit from working with you, ask them to pass along your contact information to the prospect. (Asking for the prospect’s contact information - and contacting them directly - may not always be appropriate. Follow the Strategic Partner’s client privacy policy before contacting the prospect.) Last but not least - return the favor.\n\nTip #2: Develop Joint-Venture Projects\nJoint-Ventures are gaining popularity as we find it’s not only more effective, but sometimes necessary, to pool resources together. This marketing strategy accomplishes two goals: 1) Gets your business in front of a new market and 2) Allows opportunities for new or creative products or services you may have previously been unable to provide. *Choose Joint-Venture Partners wisely… once a partnership is formed, reputations will inevitably be tied to one another.\n\nTip #3: Build a Community\nThe power of the community deeply serves us. Create an in-person or virtual community where like-minded business owners can meet once a week to discuss marketing strategies that work or brainstorm new and innovative ways to attract ideal clients. Use your business brand or personal philosophy as an anchor to the community and you’ll be providing what no one else can.\n\nTip #4: Update Client Success Stories\nYou may have client testimonials, but do you have updated success stories? Contact clients who have worked with you and ask them to provide their latest success story by specifically tying at least one piece of their success to something they learned or were provided by your product, program, or service. The greater the success story - the greater the value that directly ties back to your business. Promote the updated testimonials and remember to put them on Unlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

Your Mindset Makes a Difference in Your Success
[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about ideas to help you with your mindset because I believe mindset can make all the difference in your success. \n\nWhether or not you realize it, your business success and revenue will always be in line with your mindset. Think big and you will get much bigger results; think small and…well, you can guess what that brings. The key to growing your business is thinking big!\n\nWhat happens when you think small?\n\nYou end up thinking about how you’re going to “get by,” or “make it one more month.” Chances are you’re thinking of the immediate short term, just enough to save you temporarily. Another aspect of thinking small is thinking in terms of compensation on an hourly scale. You can’t even think in terms of investments or what would benefit you long term, because you can’t afford to. When you think small, you can only focus on making money for the here and now. \n\nWhat’s the first thing when you consider a new project, application, or business expense? Could it be how much it’s going to cost you? That mindset alone will keep you trapped where you are until you figure out a new way of thinking.\n\nTo break out of the “thinking small” shell, start considering the value of what it is you are investing in. What will it help you accomplish? What benefits will it deliver? Will it help drive sales? Will it help build your business? Will it free up your time? Those are the questions you should be asking yourself. \n\nWhat happens when you think big?\n\nWealthy people think differently, and that’s no secret, but, what may not be so obvious is how their mindset directly affects their ability to continually grow. They have simply learned through experience or from the guidance of a mentor that there are successful ways to do things - and they know it all starts with mindset. They learn these traits, study them, and perfect them until they make calculated moves that are more times successful than not. I believe that because successful people think big, they have learned to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, and that consistently pushes them to do activities that get them to their next level, then the next level, then the next level.\n\nRemember the software that you didn’t want to invest money into because you thought it was too expensive? Well, that was the first thing your successful counterpoint purchased! Why? Because it cut time by a third, reduced expenses and increased revenue.

Interview with Chris Atley – Mindset Expert
[[:encoded, "Chris Atley is a Canadian living her dream in a small beach town in California! BUT her dream almost didn't happen. Thankfully, she made the decision to live her life full out, put other people's expectations to the side and got out of her own way! When she learned and shifted the disempowering beliefs that were running her life, she was able to grow her business 10x in just 10-months, and move to her dream spot by the beach with her family. Chris has a BA in Psychology and is a Master NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Practitioner. Chris enjoys sharing how our beliefs dictate every single action we take (or don't take), and what we can do to manifest our hearts desires! Because BELIEVE is one of my favorite words and has a big impact on how we go through life, and because success is 90% mindset, I thought she would be the perfect guest!!\n\nHere are some questions I asked Chris that you will benefit from by listening to her answers:\n1.\tAfter you spent a gazillion dollars learning how to run a business, not getting to the next level, and feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and depleted, you said you realized that you were the common denominator in the equation. How did you realize what your limiting beliefs were that were living in your subconscious mind, and then how did you dig your way out of that situation?\n\n2.\tAfter plateauing for 4 years with your business, what was the single most important mindset or action you had to have or do to grow your business 10 times in 10 months?\n\nLook at “sales” from an empowered place and being of service. Not all people understand how to really view sales in this way.\n\n3.\tWhat was the “inner work” you had to do in order to take a stand for achieving your big dreams?\n\nPerseverance to do the work no matter what it takes. She used the crabs in a bucket analogy.\n\n4.\tWhat makes you say that “success is 90% mindset”? And what is the other 10%?\n\n5.\tHow do people know they have limiting beliefs that are holding them back, because I think sometimes people don’t even know they have these limiting beliefs that are holding them back?\n\nIt comes from looking at where you are at, and if you aren’t at the level you want to be at and you keep trying and come up against some kind of block or resistance, and you can’t figure out why what you are doing isn’t working, then there is something going on inside of you.

How Can an Accountability Coach Help Accelerate Your Results
[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about Why You Might Want to Consider Hiring an Accountability Coach to help you Accelerate the Achievement of Your Goals.\n\nMany entrepreneurs have a difficult time managing their time efficiently, unknowingly sabotaging their own success. They often spend months, even years, struggling to discern between the low-priority and high-impact tasks, and where their efforts drive the biggest results. Unfortunately, this type of unawareness can lead to a failed business. How do you prevent self-sabotage of your business? Hire an accountability coach! Here are four reasons you should hire an accountability coach:\n\nAn Accountability Coach can help you…\n•\tUnderstand how your actions either lead you toward or away from your goal(s)\n•\tNip procrastination and other timewasters in the bud\n•\tBreak free of your limiting beliefs\n•\tAchieve success by refining how you approach personal and professional goals\n\nAn Accountability Coach can help create direction: An accountability coach understands how each of your actions (or lack of action) leads to your results. It’s fairly simple for someone to define their end goal (e.g. make $15,000 each month), but choosing which road to embark on to reach the goal is an entirely different endeavor. \n\nA quality accountability coach will provide you with the tools to understand the direction your actions will take you and teach you how to forecast the results, so you know which road to walk in the future. He or she will also teach you how to create the most efficient and effective direction to produce the biggest results. You can be sure that you will develop a clear mindset of what works and what doesn’t. \n\nAn Accountability Coach can help eliminate procrastination: Procrastination is the worst enemy of any business owner. Regardless of how many books, tapes, or tickets to seminars you purchase for achieving success, if you lack the discipline, you will not see results. Thankfully, an accountability coach will put an end to your procrastination by establishing clear accountability rules.\n\nAccountability coaching will help you by making you fully aware that you’re completely responsible for how you spend your time. Your success lies in your hands and your success is directly dependent upon the effort you’re willing to put in to realizing your goal. Your accountability coach will certainly put you to the test, asking you to honestly account for your time, actions, and results. \n\nAn AUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

Work by Appointment Only Increases Your Productivity
[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about 3 Reasons Why Beck-and-Call is Not Better Business and working by appointment only increases your productivity and effectiveness.\n\nThere is a huge misconception that the best business is a business that is at the beck-and-call of its clients. The truth is that the best business is a business that effectively sets boundaries, and manages and exceeds client expectations in order to maintain a productive and effective flow.\n\nIf you are constantly juggling clients, answering the phone at all hours of the day, interrupting your personal time to fit in business, and feeling stressed, here are 3 Reasons Why Beck-and-Call is Not Better Business.\n\n1. It’s Impossible to Manage Client Expectations\nWithout structure and a solid foundation of rules and regulations, managing client expectations is impossible. They will expect the world, and will be sorely disappointed, when you do not deliver it. In other words, without boundaries, it’s quite possible they will expect everything.\n\nYou may find yourself, at one point or another, running yourself ragged juggling multiple clients, all of whom expect your undivided attention. When you find it impossible to meet the expectations of your clients, your business will suffer in more than one way. You’ll be exhausted and clients will be left dissatisfied. No one wins.\n\nClient expectations can only be effectively managed by outlining specific deliverables from the very beginning. If this isn’t possible (if the working relationship has already begun), then establish and communicate boundaries to clients as soon as you can.\n\nIf you can find a way to establish some ground rules (and stay firm to them), your clients will maintain healthy expectations and be satisfied (if not extremely happy) with the results. Establishing ground rules to manage client expectations is much like the tasks you schedule in your planner/calendar: Write it down and honor it.\n\n2. It’s Impossible to Effectively Manage Your Business\nImagine how effectively you can manage your business when you’re struggling to meet multiple demands of multiple clients? Instead of having time to focus on building your business, you’ll be struggling just to maintain it. That’s no way to run your business. It’s much like multi-tasking - it doesn’t work well.\n\nIf you’re consumed with meeting the high demands of unbridled client expectations, your business isn’t running with the greatest effectiveness or efficiency.

6 Ideas to Get Even More Clients and Increase Revenue
[[:encoded, "Most entrepreneurs experience a critical stage in their business where they need to consistently build their client base, yet they don’t have the time or resources to devote to serving more clients. So, how do you get more clients without working harder? \n\nLet’s talk about 6 tips to help you do this. \n\nIdea #1: Create Information Resources\nRegardless of your industry, your business has a powerful point of leverage that can be used to find and keep more clients: information.

When you begin sharing what makes you different, it becomes easier for your ideal prospect to identify you from the rest of the crowd.\n\nExamples: Your unique experience is your Unique Selling Point (USP). You are your greatest USP. Even if you’re selling a corporate product or service, what makes it unique is what you bring to the table because no one else delivers that in the way that only you are able.\n\nLet me share a quick story with you. A real estate agent friend of mine had a client who wanted a specific house in a specific area of town. They agreed on a fair price for the house based on the comps for that house in that area and the agent went to the owners house with a bottle of champagne and said that he just sold his hUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!
