Firstly, what is a mantra and how can they help you in business?
A mantra is a motivating statement that both inspires you and can also focus your mind on what's important. Typically used in meditation - Mantras can also have a profound impact on your happiness & success in business. If you want a business that will, at some point, work without you, I'd strongly recommend that you adopt the following mantra... ONLY DO WHAT ONLY I CAN DO! Say it as often as you can. Write it at the top of your daily action list. Pop it in a post-it note - do whatever it takes to remind you to say it. If someone else can do it - delegate it or outsource it. Your job as a business leader, regardless of your business size, is to build your business. If you are doing admin type tasks - who is growing your business? Who is working on strategy whilst you are doing the invoicing? Don't use any of the following excuses... *I can't afford it - you don't need to employ someone full time! A few hours a week may do. *It's easier to do it myself - then you will NEVER have a business that works without you. Think like the leader of a business that works without you NOW. So, what about you? What's your mantra?

Do you think you can give too much value upfront?
This question was asked by a client recently. We were talking about adding value through various marketing & customer service strategies and he asked. "Don't you worry that you are giving too much away?" Good question, I thought. Is there such a thing as giving away so much information that the prospect no longer needs to buy? I think not! Here’s my take on adding value… • Just knowing about a strategy doesn’t actually mean your prospect will go away & implement it. There is a huge difference between hearing how to do something, to actually taking action & following through on it. A huge, massive, ginormous difference in fact! • If you are going to add value – tell them some stuff that adds REAL impact to their life, business, mindset or health. That’s what will get people talking about you AND bring you life-long loyal clients. • Come from a place of abundance. Offer value unconditionally - regardless of whether they are likely to buy from you or not. • If your prospects thinks the value you have given is all you have to offer them – you need to change how you are positioning yourself! Maybe I can help? 😀 Thoughts? #business #success #value For me, one of the things I love the most about being a business coach is helping clients to clarify their vision, create their strategy and be integral to them smashing their goals!
