The Cost of Procrastination or Poor Follow Through in Your Life
Have you ever considered the cost of poor follow through in your life? Think about a goal that you have failed to meet in the past. Was your failure to follow through a by-product of the fact that you were really okay with the way things were to begin with? Or does the poor follow through bother you? Does the knowledge that you didn’t follow through with your goals eat you up inside because you know you aren’t doing what you need to do to get the result you say you want?
As long as we continue to expect our “good” intentions to work the way they should instead of facing reality about the probability of following through, we’ll just keep repeating the same mistakes.
When we rationalize with ourselves to avoid completing necessary tasks we are only holding ourselves back from getting what we desire. This is why the best performers and athletes have coaches. We are human. It’s okay. Get help!
Tune in tomorrow to hear about some reasons why people seem to procrastinate, and if any of these sound like you, you can stop it and enjoy even greater success.

If mindset makes all the difference in the success of our business, what adjustments might we have to make from this day forward?
If you want big results, you have to learn to think big. By becoming a go getter and ignoring your inhibitions you’ll become more confident and therefore be able to accomplish even greater business growth. There is simply no trick, method or product that will successfully turn you into a successful entrepreneur if you continue to think small. You’ve got to push the limits, step outside your comfort zone, and reach farther. Here’s how you start:
Think of three ways to increase your income. Let me give you some examples....
There’s certainly nothing wrong with the thinking small, if you’ve been happy with everything you’ve settled for so far. Although you may tell yourself, at least on the surface, that you’re happy with what you have, deep down that probably isn’t the truth.
You will rarely get what you want, and you will certainly not get what you deserve when you think small. You absolutely deserve much more than what you’ve been getting. Thinking big is about realizing your potential and getting what you deserve instead of limiting yourself. There is nothing stopping you from growing your business and thinking big - the ability to change lies within you.

Grow your Business by Thinking Big: Mindset Makes all the Difference
If the key to growing your business is thinking big, What happens when you think big?
Wealthy people think differently, and that’s no secret, but, what may not be so obvious is how their mindset directly affects their ability to continually grow. They have simply learned through experience or from the guidance of a mentor that there are successful ways to do things - and they know it all starts with mindset. They learn these traits, study them, and perfect them until they make calculated moves that are more times successful than not.
Remember that software that you didn’t want to invest money into because you thought it was too expensive? Well, that was the first thing your successful counterpoint purchased! Why? Because it cut time by a third, reduced expenses and increased revenue. While you’re still struggling, the wealthy have learned to leverage their business to allow it room to grow. See the difference in the mindset?
Now this isn’t to say you should waste money on non-essential or even useless tools, but there is something to be said for the benefits of thinking big.
Something else the successful do that the struggling do not, is know when to take calculated risk. While you may not be in a position to take any risk at all, the wealthy are continually leveraging their investments. Whether those investments are in the stock market, real estate, business acquisition, outsourcing, product shifts and redesigns, or any other number of examples, each investment is essentially a step up. What steps up have you taken lately?
They also watch for viable opportunities to build additional income streams. How many income streams does your business have? If your answer was one, you’ve got to start thinking big or thinking even bigger.

Mindset Makes all the Difference – What happens if you think small?
Whether or not you realize it, your earnings will always be in line with your mindset. Think big and you will get much bigger results; think small and…well, you can guess what that brings. The key to growing your business is thinking big!
What happens when you think small?
You end up thinking about how you’re going to “get by,” or “make it one more month.” Chances are you’re thinking of the immediate short term, just enough to save you temporarily. Another aspect of thinking small is thinking in terms of compensation on an hourly scale. You can’t even think in terms of investments or what would benefit you long term, because you can’t afford to. When you think small, you can only focus on making money for the here and now.
What’s the first thing when you consider a new project, application or business expense? Could it be how much it’s going to cost you? That mindset alone will keep you trapped where you are until you figure out a new way of thinking.
To break out of the “thinking small” shell, start considering the value of what it is you are investing in. What will it help you accomplish? What benefits will it deliver? Will it help drive sales? Will it help build your business? Will it free up your time? Those are the questions you should be asking yourself.

Eliminate Distractions and Increase Your Business Success
Through my years of coaching many people, I have found that we're all guilty of allowing the little things to distract us from what we know we should be doing. This happens to all of us to some degree or another. Instead of working, we chat with our friends or co-workers, check the latest chain email in our inbox, surf the internet, check out the latest social media feeds, and do everything we can to avoid working. Why? Because we don't feel like working - we're too busy daydreaming about being on the beach in Hawaii sipping a MaiTai or skiing the slopes. I'd like that too, but the fact is that in order to get where you want to be, you have to do the work required to achieve your goals and experience ultimate success.
Whether you are a business professional or self-employed, your income depends solely on you. And the more efficiently you can work the bigger returns you will receive. Take a moment and ask yourself where you truly want to be? Now tell me how many things you did today, yesterday, and the day before yesterday that directly contributed to the future results you want. And then tell me how many things you did today that did not contribute to your success. Those things probably distracted you from what you knew you should have been doing.
So, you might be saying, ah - it's OK, everyone does it and shrug it off. Well, not everyone does it - however, most do. So, what's the harm in the little everyday distractions? Those distractions are called distractions for a reason. They are distracting you from doing what you need to do in order to get you where you ultimately want to be in business and in life.
Minimize distractions and you'll reach your goals faster - plain and simple. If you're self-employed and want to increase your monthly income by $3,000, that won't happen by checking out the latest posts on social media by your friends and family. It's going to come from doing the highest payoff activities that have the highest probability of building your success. You must minimize distractions and focus on the activities that have a positive effect on your success.

Today we are talking about efficiency action and behavior #3 to increase your business success, which is to Invite Outside Perspectives.
It can be difficult to see our own areas of weaknesses because we know our intentions and can often view our work and our life through the lens of how we want it to be, not how it really is. Good intentions can be a stumbling block to forward motion, and the key to breaking down those barriers we are blind to, is often bringing in an outside perspective to weigh in on things for us.
You could hire a productivity expert to come in and observe your company’s workflow and then help you implement new practices or behaviors that will save you time and money. You could visit another company run by a networking contact and see how they do things. You could seek out advice from your partner or spouse; they have an intimate understanding of the frustrations you vent each day (and may not even realize) and may be able to offer a fresh outlook on the things that are hindering your company’s success. You could ask a mentor for their opinion.
The desired outcome of this step is simply to remove the rose-colored glasses through which you can’t help but view your company with and then be able to take practical steps to adjust your trajectory.
Gaining knowledge is the first step; implementing action steps based on that knowledge is the next necessary piece of the puzzle. Start boosting your efficiency this week by asking your team for their perspective on how you can improve one system or process to increase productivity. Once you have their feedback, find a way to immediately seek out a solution and implement it. Let them be part of changing the process to be even better.

Today we are talking about efficiency action and behavior #2 to increase your business success, which is to Give Your Team Opportunity to Weigh In.
Like a high-performance vehicle, every company could use regular tune-ups to make sure that every part and piece is performing optimally. The best way to check the proverbial temperature of how your workplace is functioning is to ask those that are a part of your organization on a regular basis. By involving your employees, you give them a sense of ownership over their place of work, and allow them to share their innovative and fresh perspectives on how to make things run even more efficiently.
There is no way for one person to accurately see the big picture of how a business is doing without key metrics or a dashboard of key indicators. There are so many unique facets, and the more you involve other sets of eyes to look at problems or areas of productivity lapses, the sooner you will be able to target those things and improve them. As an added bonus, your employees will be provided with opportunities to be heard, which can increase morale and reduce the risk of them becoming burnt out and frustrated. Always be open to new ideas that can impact growth, efficiencies, and your overall business success.
Tune in tomorrow for Efficiency Action and Behavior #3 to Increase Your Business Success.

Today we are talking about efficiency action and behavior #1 to increase your business success, which is to Take Risks and Try New Things.
If you suspect that something is not working as efficiently as it could, you may need to try something new to see if it will work better. No one solution works for everyone, and sometimes the best way to ascertain if a new process, system, or action will help you or your team perform better is to give it a try for a few weeks or months. For example, if you feel like email is a consistent stumbling block that ties up too much of your time each week, consider using your assistant or a virtual assistant (VA) whose sole task is to manage client communications, thus freeing you up to tackle higher-level tasks that you and only you can handle.
Are meetings bogging down your team’s productivity? You may want to try moving communications over to Slack or Asana, so everyone can stay on the same page for the things relevant to their workflow, and they can stay out of things that do not require their time or attention. It may take some time before the new processes you put in place begin to gain momentum and produce your desired efficiency outcomes, but if you never take the leap and try something new, you will never know what you may be missing out on. That new process or action could streamline your workflow and free up precious minutes or hours that can then be spent on what really matters to your company’s vision and goals.

Running a business is a lot like a Nascar race. There are large amounts of sustained momentum coupled with dedicated adjustment or growth times. In a race, the efficiency of the pit crew can often make or break a driver’s race position, and those team members have their processes down to split seconds of perfectly timed precision. Likewise, businesses often have areas within their own workflow that need to be executed with efficient action, otherwise they run the risk of causing slowdowns and missing big opportunities.
“Well-oiled or finely tuned, a business must work and keep working for both owners and consumers alike. Unfortunately, inefficiency is a reality. It comes in a variety of flavors that can cost businesses up to 30 percent of their revenue each year. Inefficiency can pop up in many places. You might find redundant processes, important but hard-to-find information or out-of-date procedures.” Source: Entrepreneur.com
So, how do you identify areas in your business that need to be revitalized to increase your efficiency and overall productivity? Try three ideas that we will explore over the next 3 days.
So, tune in tomorrow for idea #1.
