I’m really looking forward to my upcoming workshop next month ‘Ramp Up Your Revenue Without Working Any Harder’.

It’s perfect timing to run this powerful event again. Unless you have a plan in place, it’s very easy to lose your way and get distracted by the ‘gloom and doom’. You’ll be amazed at the untapped potential in your business and how easy it is to take it to the next level. All you need to do is to be able to identify what needs to be done and have a plan in place to follow.

We had an overwhelming response to the survey we recently sent out to our database.  They were asked for feedback on what their key challenges were and what they wanted to know about being more productive and profitable.

Here’s just a few comments we received:

•  How do I motivate staff?
•  How do I keep myself motivated (I can relate to this one)
•  What is the easiest way to delegate?
•  How do I stay focussed and not waste time on distractions?
•  How do I prioritise?

Attended the Christmas party for our fitness group on Friday night.  It was great to hear people talking about the fantastic results they had achieved…one guy saying he used to have really bad back pain and it’s all gone.  Another lady had lost 9kgs of weight and she looked amazing.  

It’s easy to get the results when you are shown exactly what to do, you just need to do it!   

I’m doing ok too.  I’m running faster now.  Need to keep up with the 30 and 40 year olds!

It’s been a hectic week.  Just returned from the Essentially for Women event in Sydney and also had my first visit to Hobart to speak for Women’s Network Australia.  Unusual for me to travel interstate twice in a week.  It’s not something I’d want to do on a regular basis.

I enjoyed Hobart as it reminded me of my original home town…Auckland.  Still made sure I took care of myself…got plenty of exercise, healthy food and had a one and a half hour massage.  It’s so important to take care of yourself first.

Alison Basson from Business Women Unite recently asked thousands of business women what their challenges were to succeeding.  Most of the answers basically came back saying they didn’t know what to do next to make their business succeed. 

When you look at what what the business model most women in business have ..the list of what they ‘do’ looks something like this:

1.  General administration
2.  Email
3.  Website maintenance
4.  Phone calls
5.  Sales Strategy
6.  Social Networking
7.  Banner Advertising
8.  Customer Services
9.  Bookkeeping
10. Running errands

plus much much more.
