Key Take Outs

• Create your dream business. Building your life as you wish it to be may require building your dream business. What does that look like? It will look differently to everyone. It may mean that its fun, that its systemised and automatic and that it will help build an asset that you can sell if you wish at a later date.
• Improve your money mindset. Limiting money mindset will limit your ability to have money. Money is not the ultimate purpose of life but it can certainly allow you to have more experiences and be able to help more people. Watch the language you use, incorporate positive money affirmations and just have money around you so you are always seeing it.
• Decide. The successful are good at making decisions and making them quick. Improve your ability to decide. Once in flow and once really in tune with yout intuition you will find this process becomes easier.
• Find your BIG why. Before starting out with you business or project its important to assess why? What the driving purpose. If the purpose is not really meaningful it will be harder to sustain. Money is often a great driver to getting started but should not be the ultimate driver.
• Serve first. If you can just serve others first not only will you feel good but you will also get more back in life in return. Find ways to serve.
• Give more value than expected. Under promise and over deliver. Find ways to give more that what may be expected. This leaves positive lasting flavours to the recipient that will lead to more business, more referrals and greater longevity. Offer world class service.
• Invest in yourself- invest in your business. Its important that we keep investing in ourselves. If you only invest externally you might find a lacking later in life. Life’s fundamental need is growth, so grow. This relates also to investing in your business. It is unlikely to change or improve if you neglect it, so keep investing in it.
• Choosing a coach. Choose a coach to help fast-track your success. When searching a coach look for someone that has experience and certainly experience in business as it relates to what you wan to achieve.
• Gratitude’s. A great practice and a great way to start each day. Be grateful for what you have not what you don’t have. That is a sure way to live with more grounding, calmness and peace which can only help you strive forward for more greatness.
