Why is your mindset the most important thing?🤷

You want to be successful but you’re not there yet. And if you’re like a lot of people, you’re
wondering why your efforts haven’t paid off.

It’s frustrating, especially if you’ve been reading books and trying recommendations.

👉But there’s good news: Your mindset is the key to success – and you can change your
mindset.

What do I mean by that?

Well, mindset is the way you think about things. It’s how you think about yourself, your
efforts and abilities, and your place in the world.

You know how you sometimes hear a voice in your head telling you things about yourself?

We all hear it – and the problem is that it’s rarely a positive voice. In fact, it can be a real
jerk.

✔️But it doesn’t need to stay that way.

There are things you can do to change it, rewire it, and give it a positive spin.

And guess what? When you do that, you can do anything.

I am a sucker for a good quote and this is one of my favourites. Everyone has a dream, whether it is to go on holiday, get out of debt, grow their business. these are all great dreams but they will stay dreams unless you put the work, put in the planning and structures to make those dreams become a reality.

Being an entrepreneur requires many professional and personal traits.

💁It takes a lot to be able to launch, execute, grow, and scale a business.

As a result, entrepreneurs have to be extra careful with every decision, and being able to manage their time correctly is an invaluable skill.

Here are four time management tactics that you as a busy entrepreneur can employ to get more done.

👉Break Down Activities Into Simple Problems
👉Create Prioritisation System
👉Start your day with a Simple Task
👉Create a Long-Term Roadmap

No matter how efficient your strategy for managing your time is, there is always room for improvement.

With these four, time management tactics, you can start to improve your productivity and accomplish more throughout your day.

Here are 5 ways you can improve cash flow in your business. 👇
1️⃣ Invoice your customers on time
2️⃣ Make it easy to get paid
3️⃣ Lease don’t buy
4️⃣ Chase your debts
5️⃣ Negotiate longer payment terms with your suppliers

Financial Statements

The more common term used to refer to statements produced at the end of accounting periods, such as the trading and profit and loss account and the balance sheet (sometimes referred to as 'Final Accounts' or simply 'The Accounts').

Where do people go wrong with goal setting?🤷

Goal setting is something that a lot of people simply don’t really understand. They take the entirely wrong approach to it.

And if you are one of them, let me introduce you to the Japanese concept of Kaizen.

👉What’s Kaizen?

Kaizen promotes ongoing or continuous improvement rather than one big mess.

So, being too ambitious right away and setting big goals can actually hurt you in the long run.

Now, just to be clear, there is nothing wrong with ambition. There is nothing wrong with deciding your goal is to set up a million pound business or to have the best body that anyone has ever had.

That’s all fine.

The problem comes when you try to achieve that immediately.

✔️Let’s say you want to create a course.

You might come up with an idea for an amazing course you think will change the world! But you forget to realise that this requires a certain amount of your time to create, an online hosting platform, maybe other experts input, a marketing budget and strategy and all sorts of other things!

Can you complete this is without proper planning? Well no.

The first thing you would make is a roadmap....a list. a timeline of goals and mini tasks to set you on your way to the final product within a realistic timeframe.

THAT is how you succeed.

👉Success takes time and proper planning.

I can help you create a budget for a new product.😊

where do you see yourself in 5 years?

This is a question I like to ask my clients as it gives you the ability to see yourself in the future. it gives you the freedom to see into your mind of where you want to be:

⭐️What house you want to live in?
⭐️What car you want to drive?
⭐️What your family/relationship looks like?
⭐️where you see your business?

Within your answer you may have opened a store front for your business or have another location. You may have written a book or started your own podcast. This can be your reality, they don't have to just be answers to a question. If you are willing to put in the work to reach them.
