I got serious with what I do now (helping small business owners to become successful) after my kids left the house.
Over the years I learned a lot, I failed a lot, but also had some successes. I waisted a lot of time too.
How?
By not spending time and money on the things which should move me forward. By spending money on promising ads, which always ended up being not so promising. By “learning” the same things over and over again. By not seeking the help I really needed. By not doing the things I learned about.
But also by consistently trying to set myself back to look at things negatively. By not staying accountable. By giving up and than starting again.
Becoming successful is not only doing the right things for your business. A huge part is also mindset. Believing in yourself. Staying positive. Knowing you can do it and stick to that thought.
From there on you can start building. Building the foundation for your business. Finding your leads/clients. Start earning money. Create profit. Create more profit.
My biggest change was using the one year course I am teaching now. Every week I made a small step and got better every day. It’s not an MBA, but it’s getting close. And with the coaches I had, I got the opportunity to grow.
Who doesn’t want that too??
