As an entrepreneur have you ever felt like you have no time? Worse yet, have you felt like you are wasting your time? Well, I know I have, and the guilt that it sometimes brings on is both unbearable and unnecessary. One of my early mentors once told me "you have one life, so live it." In this episode I share the strategies I was once taught to use when I become overwhelmed or don't feel like I'm spending my time wisely. I promise this won't be a waste of your time ;o).

As a longtime goal setter, I've heard all sorts of strategies on how to set goal to ensure success. From recommendations to multiply my goals times ten, to suggestions to cut my goals in half, it would seem everyone knows how I should be arranging my goals. Problem is, none of this has worked for me. What has worked however is a straight forward formula I've used repeatedly, and helped our many coaching clients use as well. Listen in as I share this strategy and how you can incorporate it into your everyday life.

As an entrepreneur do you ever feel alone? It's a common feeling, after all no one is in your shoes, dealing with the challenges, frustrations, disappointments and stress that you're dealing with, right?

Are you doing something on a daily basis that provides you an escape? I'm a bit biased, but for over two decades I've made fitness (training, yoga, running, bicycling) a part of my DAILY life... That's right, now weekly or when I can, but a daily regimen. Why? Because exercise, and specifically fitness activities are a MUST when it comes to being a successful entrepreneur. Everyone I know that is successful in business, is also involved in fitness, often at a competitive level. Listen in to learn why you should be too, and most importantly how to get started.

It's not uncommon for business owners and leaders to focus most of their time and effort on their lower performers. Whether dealing with performance issues, attendance or otherwise, a lot of time can be wasted. How is this offset? Well, spend time with the top performers, right? 

Wrong!

If you think about it, your top and bottom performers likely only make up 20-30% of your total team. It goes without saying then that time should instead be invested in the middle group, helping them elevate their performance. In this episode I share three key strategies to build this group up, and move them towards being in the top performing group.

If you are like virtually every entrepreneur and business owner I know, then time is something you invest heavily in your business. Of course investing significant time in the early years of any business is often necessary to get things rolling, but if you have business more then a couple of years and are still nose to the grind stone, something is wrong. Of course I don't mean there's something wrong with you, but rather you need to create freedom and time away from your business in order to appreciate being an entrepreneur. We all love to work, but trust me after a decade or so of giving 110%, it does get tiring. Learn some key strategies I help my coaching clients introduce in their business in order to not only grow, but to create freedom for themselves to focus on the things they love, be it working on their business or time with family and friends.

Too many entrepreneurs focus on bringing in experts to help them in their business, then wind up creating new problems. As Grant Cardone might suggest, "new problems" are a way to ensure you are moving forward, however by taking a more holistic view of the challenge you can come out on top. In this brief podcast I share a simply business growth strategy I use with coaching clients, creating a more systematic approach which will result in no new problems, only the desired outcomes. Take a few minutes to listen in and hear about how to involve your customers in your growth plan, and the role your employees play. It's worth a listen!
