Do you ever feel it’s just too hard being in your own business? You’re sick of dealing with people problems, worrying about paying the bills, hoping that new prospect will finally become a client, waking up in the middle of the night worried that the money you’ve invested in that special project may not work and you’ll be in more debt than ever? That nothing you do seems to be working?

It’s during these times that you need to get the strength from within to keep going. As I’ve mentioned many times before, the gold is hidden in there somewhere and you just have to hang in there long enough to find it.

Hi,

For your business to be better, you need to be better, and you don’t get better by doing nothing! To do this you may have to get right out of your comfort zone and join a coaching program, go along to seminars where you meet other like-minded people or those playing at a higher level of business than you.

There’s no excuse not to get off your butt and learn your way to success. Regardless of where you are located events are taking place all around the country regularly as well as on-line. Saying you have ‘no money’ or ‘no time’ are poor excuses.

Have you ever heard the saying ‘work always expands to fill the time available’? So what does that mean? It means that the longer you have to get something done, the longer you will take to do it.

One of my clients recently committed to taking every Friday off. He blocked out the time in his diary and guess what?  He gets the same amount of work done in the 4 days. Because we’ve been working together, his business is running much more effectively which has made it easy for Gary to step away.

Hi,

As a small business owner I’m grateful that I live in Melbourne. There is such a wide variety of events to attend to network with other like-minded business owners and learn valuable tips to implement back into my own business.

The opposite is also true. So much choice! You could be out every day/night of the week if you wanted to.

I recently caught up with Jo and Rick Harrison from Soulmate Success and Ludwina Dautovic from The Red Tent Woman.

Have a great week!

Have you ever arrived for an appointment at the correct time only to be told the person you are seeing is running late? I’m sure that has happened to you on many occasions. In the story I’m about to relay to you, this incident happened to one of my clients recently.

Gary and his wife arrived to see this health professional at the appointed time. The receptionist had even confirmed the time the day before. On arrival at the health clinic they were told the practitioner was running 30 minutes late. The reason being that the first appointment for the day had arrived late due to heavy traffic so consequently every other appointment was set back.
