LIFE AS AN ENTREPRENEUR
Most entrepreneurs we coach tell us that they want to simplify their lives. They are consumed with details, many of which dont seem that critical, yet still have to get done. They also say that they feel their lives are out of balance. They live separate business and personal lives and often feel guilt over not being with their families and friends more frequently.
Here are some tips that entrepreneurs we coach have shared as part of their success in building more success at less cost:
1. Get rid of anything and anyone you are tolerating
2. Get rid of clients that you dont enjoy working with
3. Plan 1 hour a day of high-quality free time just for you
4. Surround yourself with people who are talented and highly motivated
5. Work to free yourself of interruptions
6. Delegate non-money-making activities
7. Get coached
As an entrepreneur, it is critical to simplify your life and focus on your uniqueness and what it is you want to create in your lifetime. Is it relationships, an organization, money,
recognition, a new method? Dont forget your life purpose and your mission - before your business goals.
Next, begin focusing on slowing your pace and planning your days, weeks, months and your activities and achievements. Take control of the chaos, slow the activity and improve the results. Organize your work around teams. Those who are supported by others have an extraordinary advantage in all situations in life. Focus only on
business tasks that others cannot do for you.
Got a goal? Great ... now expand it, push it, grow it HUGE! Visualize it and articulate it to others and develop a framework to get results. Instead of focusing on marketing and sales as a singular item, focus on the creation of extraordinary value.
Learn to bring to others ever increasing value and you will have a powerful business. Transform your products into services, services to products, and products and services into a unique experience. This will differentiate you in the marketplace and allow you to be creative.
