Sometimes it's hard to rise above a sea of email, phone calls and client demands to think about interesting new offerings so your business stays fresh and interesting, keeps selling more to existing customers and staves off competitors who are tempting your customers with their novelty factor.
My business coach, the redoubtable Phil Olley, always says that people already have all they need to know to take their business to the next level. The problem is not lack of training, knowledge, money or anything else we think we need. These are just excuses we make not to get on and do it.
Whether you think you need to tidy your desk before you succeed or do an MBA, just make a list of 5 things you could do today to make your business better. And don't have that cup of coffee or touch a pile of emails until you've done at least one of them.
Phil is a breath of practical fresh air. He spends his life dreaming up tools and strategies to strengthen the right core vision for you, so that you tap into your own natural enthusiasm to drive your business and life in the right direction. His website has some excellent free downloads in his Treasure Chest to get you started and a free newsletter to keep you thinking about ways to work ON your business, not IN it.
And no, he’s not a client. He’s very good at doing his own PR and has been on mainstream TV as well as being featured in a number of national newspapers and magazines.
And on my list today? Make my blogs shorter and more time effective for everyone!
