Take Flight – Business Growth Strategies with Business Coach Dan Holstein

"I’m working really hard, but I’m still not where I think I should be!” Does that ring a bell?

I think we all should on ourselves from time to time!

But it's really not a helpful thing to do, in fact - that comparison mindset can sap your energy and slow your progress.

In this week’s video, I share with you a strategy to help bring a little more calm, reduce some of that 'should' stress, and help you stay focused so you can take action to get where you’re going, even faster.

What's YOUR definition of wealth? Does it equate to your money in the bank, your invested assets, or your discretionary time?

Everyone has a different take on wealth but we can all agree that wealth doesn't always mean your monetary savings or the amount of property you've accumulated. Wealth can be a lot of things like freedom, health, and time.

I want to share some not-so-common definitions of wealth with you, in the hopes of changing your perspective of it.

Are all the sacrifices you've made and the time you've spent on your business equal to the amount of cash flow you're receiving from it? After taking a look at your business, can you truly say you have REAL wealth?

If your answer to that is yes, then that's awesome! But if it's a resounding no, then you might have to take a step back to evaluate what you're willing to give up in exchange for REAL wealth.

TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 - What is your definition of wealth?
00:31 - Why does true wealth equate to discretionary time?
00:51 - What does it mean to survive so many days forward?
01:33 - How do you produce cash without having to work?
01:55 - Do you spend enough time doing the things you want to?

Is there something that you're not feeling confident in getting started on? What's holding you back?

Confidence comes from knowing what to do in a given situation, and most of all, believing that taking that action is going to lead to a successful outcome.

But what happens if you don't know what to do? What if a little bit of fear keeps you from taking any action at all?

This week I share with you where you can find confidence, even when you're unsure, or a bit fearful.

Often business owners hire without having an adequate candidate pool – if they find one seemingly decent person, they jump the gun.

It’s incredibly important that we get the right people on our team and if we get it wrong, it’s expensive, time consuming, distracting and frustrating.

This week’s video is about having a robust hiring process for attracting candidates, so you always have options, and won’t get yourself stuck with a bad hire!

When it comes to choices, when you only have one, you have none.

In July of 1983, an Air Canada flight ran out of fuel at 41,000 ft, and had to glide down to safety. The chances of a successful outcome were slim to none, but in the end, and against all odds, they landed safely.

So how does a near air disaster relate to your business and cash flow understanding?

In this episode, I will tell you a short (true) story to help you understand the importance of knowing your business numbers and managing your cash flow correctly.

A lot of problems happen in business because of a lack of knowledge or attention.

So, know your numbers and don't be an air disaster - or a business disaster!

Have you ever started on an initiative, invested time and energy into it, not seen immediate results and gave up on it - only to restart it again a little while later?

I think we've all done this at one point or another. The challenge with being in a state of starting and stopping is that we never achieve momentum - and the rewards that come with it.

In this week's episode, I share the reason we get stuck in the start-stop pattern, and how to get out of it so that you can get momentum and really accelerate your business growth.

I’ve been thinking about competency and the path to getting really good at something.

There’s a pattern: We start most things thinking they’ll be easy to master, until we get started and realize it’s harder than we thought. We might even be tempted to give up!

In this week's video, I’m going to take you through the four stages we all go through as we master new things. This is helpful for business owners who, for example, are learning to delegate, are struggling with it a little bit, and perhaps find themselves taking tasks back and doing them themselves!

Is feeling sluggish and tired having an impact on your business?
 
In this candid interview, Zach describes how he was successful as a Financial Planner, and had everything that should have made him happy, but he wasn’t. He was, in fact, pretty miserable. And that discontent got him fired.
 
Being fired became the door which ultimately led to him founding FITT Forge, a gym that is a community of business owners, friends, and families, lifting together, getting strong together, feeling good together.
 
One of the most interesting take-aways in my interview with Zach, is how after over a year of COVID, he's seeing many people - especially business owners - with atrophy in their bodies, and a lot of pressure on their minds. He explains that “Strength” is a response to pressure and “Atrophy” is the result of a lack of pressure. The atrophy in the body makes it more difficult to deal with the pressure in the mind.
 
Check out my interview with Zachary for more insights on how to take time for yourself and that building physical strength actually helps you build mental strength, and ultimately build a more successful business.
