If you want to actually make progress you need measurable goals so you can take measurable action in your business.

If you ask most business owners what their goals are, they'll say "more of..." and "less of..." but they don't quantify or describe what that is.

"More Clients" isn't a goal.

10 more clients who live in Raleigh this month is a much more achievable goal.

Why? Because it's so specific that you can then figure out what your daily actions need to be in order to get there.

My ONE question for you on this Labor Day, 2019 - Were you able to NOT WORK at all during the 3 day weekend?

If not, why not?

What actions are you taking to make sure you don't have to work weekends forever?

Are your daily actions mapping to your ultimate goal?

Yes, there will be times where we have to work more than most...but make sure that work is helping you get one step closer to your ultimate freedom.

We as business owners like to think BIG!

We have BIG goals. We have BIG dreams. We have HUGE aspirations.

Yet, they are always so far away.

And we realize our daily actions will never allow us to achieve those goals.

In today's episode I share with you the easiest way to start changing, stay motivated so you can actually achieve those goals.

When you start doing less, you'll start making more.

And that making "more" doesn't necessarily mean money. It could be more of an impact. It could be more freedom. It could be more clarity.

In today's episode I share with you 3 different aspects of business in life that when you start doing less there, you'll start having more.

As Warren Buffet says "The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything."

So often we let what happens today become the new norm.

We let it bog us down and keep us from taking action.

Sometimes you just have to look back and see how far you've come.

And use that as motivation to keep moving forward.

The next time you get froze with inaction, understand that imperfect action is the only way forward.

You've done it all along and what was impossible to you last year is the norm now...so use that as motivation to continue moving forward.

Pretty much every business owner is afraid to hire people...especially when it comes to leadership positions.

It's easier to justify hiring someone that is providing your service because they are directly producing revenue.

However, it's very difficult to hire people into leadership roles.

And one of the BIGGEST reasons for this is lack of vision.

In today's episode, I share with you why (and how) creating your ideal Org Chart is a MUST in order to grow and scale any business.

Everyone I talk to has big goals, huge goals!

Yet, most of them aren't taking action on them.

They'll do it tomorrow...they'll magically happen.

Whether it's delegating something in their business or reaching a personal goal, everyone has goals.

Yet they don't have a plan to get there.

In fact, they don't even know where they are going.

In today's episode I share a quick tip on implementing the 12 Week Year.

Here's some earth shattering advice...treat others the way you want to be treated.

And for your business, that goes for your customers and potential customers.

Just because you could do something, doesn't mean you should.

Stop putting profits before people and stop putting your best interest ahead of theirs.

If you treat them the way you would expect to be treated and put their best interest first, you will win. You will win BIG.

I run into business owners every day who want massively different results...yet they don't want to change anything that they are doing.

"You don't know my business"

"You don't know my customers"

"What will my parents think"

All of these "what ifs" based out of fear.

But what if I told you that 99% of the time, the worst case scenario is right where you are today.

The worst action is inaction. How do you expect to get to the next level when you're not willing to do things differently?
