[[:encoded, "Practicing yoga and mindfulness has many health benefits. Yoga is a low-impact form of exercise that can lead to better heart health and help with back pain relief that many entrepreneurs can use. Mindfulness and meditation can lead to better cognitive health and improved moods. In addition to the health benefits that mindfulness and exercise bring, they can contribute positively to our business success as well.\n\nIn a fast-paced business world, learning how to slow down is immensely important, and can give you an edge over your competitors. Not only that, but calming our minds and being able to craft a clear vision and leave room for inspired thoughts is a practice that we can refine and utilize to push our business forward.\n\nLet’s now explore the six ways that mindfulness and exercise can impact your business success. \n\n1. Mindfulness gives us clarity over our business vision\nMindfulness is being aware of your thoughts, your feelings, and your environment. It’s the act of removing ourselves from the hustle and bustle of our current state, and creating space for our mind to wander and to reconnect with ourselves. By practicing mindfulness, we can gain important insights into our vision for our business.\n\nYou can practice mindfulness with just a few simple steps:\n\nFocus on Your Breathing\nStart a steady pattern of breathing in, holding it for a few seconds, and then exhaling out. Feel the sensation of your breath as it comes in through your nose and out through your mouth.\n\nBe Aware of Your Body\nAs you breathe, start to be more aware of your body. Pay attention to how you’re feeling and the places where you are holding tension, and breathe through it to release the tension.\n\nLet Your Mind Wander\nGive your mind the freedom to wander. You may be surprised where it takes you when you’re not hyper-focused on your to-do list (or Prioritized Action List (PAL) as I like to call it).\n\nAllowing ourselves the space to be present in the moment helps strip away things that may seem more pressing. You may be stressing about how to move your business forward and practicing mindfulness could bring you back to a place of remembering your “why” and what you’re truly passionate about, which could provide clarity into a longer-term vision.\n\n2. Meditation keeps us calm in the face of tumultuous times\nMeditation helps us take a step back and refocus ourselves. When your business is in the midst of difficult times, meditating can help us to regain contr

[[:encoded, "As a business owner, the only real challenge you have is time. Time is a factor that stands against you due to its limited availability. There are only twenty-four hours in a day (8 to 10 hours for sleep, transportation, eating, and other chores to do). Due to this limited time, learning to manage your time effectively is the best way to reach your goals.\n\nTime has a powerful impact on your overall results. At the end of every day, it is important to take stock of what you were able to achieve. Also, pay attention to how you split your time during the day.\n\nAs a business owner, many activities impact the way you manage your time. There are prospects to contact and follow-up with, the financials to pay attention to, existing clients to service, and inventories to monitor. In addition, there are also other important aspects of your business such as bills to be paid, staff to manage, and all kinds of decisions to be made. In short, there aren’t enough waking hours to deal with all there is to be done.\n\nThis is why effective time management is a vital skill for all business professionals and seasoned entrepreneurs. \n\nHow can you manage your time effectively?\n\nEffective time management is where time blocks come to the rescue.\n\nThe challenge you, as an entrepreneur, face is your inability to streamline your focus into a few tasks without getting distracted by other tasks to be completed.\n\nLack of focus becomes a problem because when you split your attention into all the tasks you have to complete. You won’t be able to complete any of them while doing this. As a business owner, new tasks can spring up daily, and you’ll need excellent time management skills to carry out your business.\n\nTime blocks serve as a way to carefully break your day into very specific blocks of time. Activities are scheduled for certain hours (blocks) of the day.\n\nWhen managing your time, you can streamline your focus into a few tasks that should be completed daily.\n\nTime blocks help you keep your focus on a particular task at a particular time, and for a period of time. By doing this, you can avoid procrastination and complete each task more quickly.

[[:encoded, "All entrepreneurs have big dreams. The ability to dream of better lives and achievements is what drives many to start their own business. \n\nAs a business owner, your single goal is to ensure the success of your business. This is done by making in-depth plans and decisions targeted towards the survival and growth of your business.\n\nWhat this means for your personal life is long hours dedicated to gaining essential skills, building your business, making leadership connections, and possibly working twice as hard as other business professionals.\n\nYour business should have its unique goals broken into milestones that’ll help you track your progress and gauge your performance compared to your competitors. \n\nThe ability to set realistic “stretch” goals and following them to completion has always counted as a skill successful business owners have.\n\nGoal setting helps measure your level of success in ways that hold you accountable for every milestone. This is because setting realistic “stretch” goals challenges you, motivates you, and keeps you focused while providing a tangible measure of growth and success.\n\nWhen it comes to goal setting, you can dream big. The important thing to keep in mind is to dream in moderation. The end goal may be to grow and expand and become the powerhouse in your niche. Recognize that while setting your goals, you should make them a realistic “stretch” in ways that make every milestone achievable.\n\nConsequences of Setting Unrealistic Goals \n\nUnrealistic goal-setting practices are the bane of many entrepreneurs. The pressure of climbing a mountain so high and steep without any experience with its challenges cause many businesses to fail after a short period of time.\n\nIt is essential to focus on what the consequences of setting unrealistic goals have on an entrepreneur and their business.\n\nNegative Emotions\nWhen you set unrealistic goals, negative emotions begin to set in. For every failed contract comes disappointment and for every sluggish sale comes sadness and anxiety. This can slowly deteriorate to lower self-esteem and a slew of medical problems. \n\nSetting unrealistic goals creates an insurmountable obstacle that prevents you from seeing your little wins. \n\nUnrealistic goals also put a strain on your relationship with your friends and family. When it seems like you are surrounded by others who keep winning, feelings of envy and jealousy begin to creep in. This, in turn, makes you avoid and neglect the s

[[:encoded, "The need for a balanced life is more important than ever. Too often, our work life and personal life overlaps, so enhancing your overall performance can only benefit both aspects of your life. Having a growth mindset can help you to overcome any challenges you may face, both professionally and personally.\n\nBy following these seven tips to enhance your performance in life, you’ll be more likely to maximize your potential and reach your goals in the timeframe you desire. Are you ready to start implementing changes into your life that will increase your performance and help you grow as an individual? If yes, then keep listening!\n\n1. Set Crystal Clear Goals\nAs a business owner, you may be constantly thinking about setting your team up for success, but don’t forget about yourself! Set yourself up for success by setting clear goals. You set your annual goals and review your progress every month to help you know where you are against your annual goals, so you can course correct, if you are off track at all. \n\nIf you’re not sure where to start, you can start by setting longer term, larger goals and breaking them down into smaller and more manageable goals.\n\nFor example, you can set a goal of running a half marathon in the next year. Break that goal down weekly by starting small and running 3 miles a week, then build up slowly until you’re running more and more each week. By the time the half marathon comes along, it’ll be a breeze for you to do!\n\nAnother example is, instead of setting a goal to “increase revenue for the year,” set a specific goal with an actual number, such as “increase revenue to $120,000 by year end.” Then break that down into smaller goals by month, such as “hit $10k in revenue per month.” Once you have a more concrete goal, you can plan out the actual steps it takes to achieve that goal!\n\n2. Practice Effective Communication\nEffective communication is so important in both our personal lives as well as in business. Practicing empathy goes hand-in-hand with communicating effectively. Whether you’re speaking with a loved one or a co-worker, approach the conversation with empathy and an open ear. Start by trying to see where they’re coming from, and use phrases to describe how you feel, not what you don’t like about the other person’s actions.\n\nListening well is a very important skill that needs to consistently be practiced to be refined. It can be easy to hear something and react immediately. It’s much harder to listen, take ti

We’re all writers, crafting a lengthy narrative with the best chapters possible. But often, we create loopholes in our story of success ourselves. Do you know how? By letting our limiting beliefs hold us back from achieving what is within our grasp.

Limiting beliefs are misconstrued thoughts, with no foundation or reality. They stem from certain bad experiences from the past, hereditary experiences, or from societal and cultural restrictions. But the fact is that limiting beliefs hold us back. They don’t allow us the grand and successful ending your truly deserve.

If you are in a quest to overcome any limiting beliefs you might have, keep listening in. I’m here to tell you how self-talk is the key to overcoming them and finding your freedom.

Overcome Limiting Beliefs - Here’s How

Many of us consciously or unconsciously tend to develop limiting beliefs in childhood or teenage years. They may stem from a devastating personal experience or by seeing the experiences of others in our circle. Fact is that these become a permanent part of our personality by the time we have matured.

The unfortunate consequence of failing to overcome our limiting beliefs is that we fail to play big and shine like we could have. We let the limiting mindset pull us back from our calling, such as our business venture, for example.

When you shift from your limiting beliefs, you begin experiencing greater victories, start feeling happier, and more fulfilled. Let’s explore how you can shift from limiting beliefs to having an empowering mindset.

1. Pause to Think

Whenever you plan a new venture, a new break, or a new change and fears erupt, then pause and reflect on your fears. Remind yourself that you are simply in a low-mood and thinking about your upcoming activity is not the right thing to do at the moment.

2. Address each Limiting Belief

The best way to do this is to write down each limiting belief. For example, if you are planning to launch a vegan food line, some of the limiting beliefs you could have are:

• I might not be able to make the food taste good

• My vegan food will not appeal to the food lovers

• Meat eaters will not come to my business and my venture will fail

• I am too old to experiment with this new venture

Now while all these may be valid concerns, you cannot however, allow these to be your limiting beliefs. It is true that meat lovers can take time or have difficulty adjusting to an all plant-based diet. However, there is no way to ascertain beforehand hand that they will downright dislike it.

Therefore, don’t let doubts or fear of failure, or not pleasing the crowd stop you from trying. When fears arise from your limiting beliefs, replace them quickly with thoughts like the following:

• Consumers will love the idea of not hurting the animals.

• People will love a more healthy and nutritious food plan.

• Red meat can cause cholesterol and our vegan imagined meats will give them an equally tasty and healthy option.

• People will feel better from eating healthy food.

3. Have a Positive Self-Talk

You know, nothing helps you break out of limiting beliefs better than yourself, your own voice in your head. Use positive self-talk to transform your limiting beliefs into a powerful mindset. Empower your convictions with confidence in your abilities.

Let’s discuss this in more detail….

The Power of Self-Talk

Self-talk refers to the act of holding an internal dialogue. There can be no better way than this to influence your subconscious mind, to boost your ideas, your belief, and your confidence. Self-talk also helps you question, develop logical and powerful thoughts, and find the courage to push forward no matter what.

The problem with many people, including business owners, is that they often hold self-talk and they’re usually negative. This practice does more harm than good. The entire purpose behind self-talk is to define and strengthen your personality and mindset.

[[:encoded, "Mind over matter, right? Sometimes, that’s easier said than done. When we’re faced with a laundry list of to-dos and with not enough time in the day, it can be easier to distract ourselves and push things off to the next day. And when more items get added to our list, it becomes overwhelming, and we continue to procrastinate even more. A vicious cycle, but one that can be overcome.\n\nIn order to overcome procrastination, we have to first understand it. Start with perspective—procrastination may not be something you can ever fully get rid of. And that’s okay. When you accept that it may be a part of your process, that’s the first step to figuring out how to work through it. The reason why many of us procrastinate is because we choose to do something that’s more immediately gratifying than something we know we need to do, but it is probably not as fun. Procrastination is an emotional reaction, and we put off necessary tasks in order to stay happy in the moment.\n\nSo, how do you overcome procrastination and move on to a mode of productivity? Here are 5 tips to trick your mind into overcoming procrastination.\n\n1. Make It Super Easy to Get Started on Your Task\n\nThe hardest part of completing some tasks is getting started. Sometimes thinking about a task can snowball into feeling overwhelmed because of what the task entails. If you’re going into the task with a dreaded mindset, that will make it harder to get started. It’s much easier to get started if you don’t think about it as much.\n\nFor example, if the task at hand is getting out of bed to go work out, you might find yourself thinking about how you have to find your workout clothes, then you need to make sure you have clean socks, and by the time you work out, half your day will be over—before you know it, you’ve convinced yourself to stay in bed.\n\nSet things up ahead of time so it’s super easy to get started. If your goal is to work out in the morning, make sure your clothes are laid out the night before. Then, when you wake up, just get out of bed. Don’t spend time thinking about whether or not you want to work out, or you’ll fall into the same pattern as before. Just get up, get dressed, and get out.\n\nIf the task at hand is making prospecting calls to potential clients, start with making a list of people to call and the script you will use for what to say.
