Plans are great, but it’s action that makes a difference. And a great way to ensure action is accountability. I talk to business owners all the time who feel like they’re underperforming. They’re unclear about how to reach their goals, grow their business, and stick to a business plan. This isn’t new. Business leaders have long struggled to stay accountable to their goals.  Why is it so hard? Often, we hear the phrase “hold someone accountable.” But is it possible to hold yourself accountable? Many business owners try, but oftentimes find themselves abandoning their goals, projects, and ..read more

As we go into 2021, I began to talk to my colleagues and fellow business owners. Fortunately, many reported business was good! But not great. So where’s the disconnect? How are businesses that are performing well, still not thriving? I’ve narrowed down the culprits of the steady (but not spectacular) business: The comfort zone, talent/team, and timing.  Let’s break those down.  1. The Comfort Zone We’ve all heard “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it.” And while that seems like good advice it’s probably holding you back. Once a business gets into a comfort zone it’s hard to leave.

How to guarantee you’ll have the most successful year ever

The New Year is the season for change, ambition, and resolutions. But no matter your intention, a lot of goals aren’t achieved.  Why? Vague ideas result in an uncompleted goal. Example: "I want more clients this year." It feels more like a wish than a goal. You can solve this by adding specificity to your goal. Specificity looks like this: a singular, detailed, and attainable goal. You can transform any large, vague goal into a specific one by breaking it down into small, attainable parts. Let’s look at our example: I want to get more clients this year.  The end goal is more cl ..read more

 Have you accomplished the last goal you set for yourself?  It’s OK if you answered no. Almost all goals go unaccomplished. Why is that? We fall into the trap of tackling goals at a sprint. At first, we get really excited. We work really hard. We want to get it done, so we set unrealistic expectations and work loads. As time goes on we lose that momentum and eventually give up.  What if instead when you set a goal, you stuck with it until you accomplished it? And you kept doing that for every goal you set. Can you imagine how much your business could grow if you achieve every g ..read more
