We’ve been enjoying some real summer weather here in Melbourne and spending lots of time out with the ‘boys’, Casper and Beasley.

Aren’t they cute?   Don’t know what we’d do without our pets.

They’re enjoying lunch out with my daughter Tia.

Have a great week.

What are you focussing on achieving in your business in the next 90 days?

Do you have any idea? If you don’t then you better come up with a goal or outcome otherwise you may find that another 3 months has passed you by and you’re no further ahead than where you are right now.

When you’ve got a clear focus, you can easily say ‘no’ to activities and people who distract you.

Have you ever worked in a cluttered environment and found yourself getting easily distracted, wasting time searching for information or just feeling overwhelmed? 

Well clutter has that affect.  A messy environment creates a messy mind. In fact The Wall Street Journal did a study some time ago and found the average ‘white collar’ worker spent 6 weeks a year looking for things around the office!   As an entrepreneur, you cannot afford to be so unproductive!  

Jenny who is a coaching client told me that since removing the clutter from her home based office she is calmer, more relaxed and can concentrate on getting much more done than ever before.

Are you one of those people who gets excited that it’s a new year…a new beginning?  This year is the year you will have more time with your family, get fit, get healthy, enjoy more holidays, make much more money and so on…

What will you do this year to turn your ‘wishes’ into a plan, with a clear focus, deadlines and actually make things happen?

It’s really easy to fall back into your past habits and get the same results.  If you haven’t already done so, you need to plan right now and seriously knuckle down and take consistent action.

How often do you hear business owners complain that their clients are ’slow payers?’

Before working with me, one of my clients who has a pool building business, told me that they only asked for a 10% deposit at the start of the project and then invoiced the balance at the end of it.

The process of building a pool takes weeks! In the meantime her company would have to cover wages, equipment and all other costs throughout this time. What often happened at the end, the clients were slow to pay causing them even more financial stress.
