What about you?
Getting a good night’s sleep is so important but everyone is different, in how they sleep, and also in how they run their business.
THAT IS BECAUSE LIFE AND BUSINESS IS NEVER A ONE SIZE FITS ALL.
What does success look like?
Success is an interesting term, because society paints of picture of money, fancy houses, name brand clothes, fast cars, big holidays. But how much does that really mean to you?
I believe that success is stretched by marketers to keep you over spending, buying on credit and chasing the dream – BUT WHO’S DREAM IS IT?
I have 3 things I want to share that DON’T have to be on list in order to count your business as a success!
3 things that don’t instantly equal success
The three things you don’t HAVE to have in business to be successful:
The £10k months – most of my clients want to earn between £2k and £4k reoccurring in their business. This is a lovely amount of money that would keep anyone comfortably. So, I always ask if the ambition to grow an empire or live a good life. Because if you look on social media, it seems that striving for anything less than a 5-figure month and 6-figure business is just unacceptable.
3 day working week – I hear this all the time when clients start working with me, they say I want to only work a 3-day week. When I ask them why, or what they want to do with the new free time. They have a blank stare. Most people want this outcome because it is highlights by others as a good mix. I personally want to work 4 days a week, but only for a few hours a day. This suits my live better than doing 3 longer days.
Traveling and working anywhere in the world – This is another favourite of mine; you don’t have to be completely remote in order to have a successful business. This idea started a few years ago as a complete craze. But if you love your home and stability then you can have a successful business by just being in your home in your comfies and being happy.
This is the key to success, DOING IT YOUR OWN WAY
No one can tell you what success looks like, but I would like to help you find what it means for you. This week we kick off the Release the CEO WithIN Mastermind.
This will be a container to help you decide if sleeping in the nude is for you too. And even if you don’t change your sleeping habits, it will help you get Clarity, Confidence and increase Cash flow into your business. Check out more details here
How to move closer to success now?
I believe there are a few core areas that we need to focus on in order to discover true clarity in business. The type of clarity that makes us excited, helps us show up and lights a fire the world can see. And I believe not enough people have this in their life or business.
Now we will cover all of these areas in the Release the CEO withIN mastermind but the core areas that I think you should focus on are
- Why you are in business
- Who you want to serve
- What you want to offer
- How you will deliver it
- Becoming the CEO
- Quick Cash strategies
- Long term strategies
- Core Containers of business
- Mindset to success
- Rinse and Repeat Technology
- Values and future
If you want to jump into all the details on these check out the mastermind here – otherwise read on for a snapshot of some of the main ideas!
Why you are in business
This brings me back to sleeping in the nude! Discovering your why is all about alignment, knowing exactly what you need to have a happy life. So not looking outwards but instead inwards at this point. Where does the passion come from, what is the driver? What will be the end result that will mean everything to you when you finally get it.
Is it how much you earn, how many days you work, where you get to work from? Or is it something else, I specific house for your family, a book and Ted Talk in the world. A legacy to leave behind for your children and grandad children. At this point anything goes.
Who you want to serve
Then you can focus on who. And I love doing this with clients. We create 2 lists, one of the types of people you LOVE working with and one of the types of people you STRUGGLE to work with. These two lists will help you with your positioning of your work. Making sure you are talking to the right people and going looking for them in the right place.
If you know your ideal client is on a specific group, you can be more active in that space and position yourself as the expert. You can work to understand your customer before you step out into paid marketing. Because once you move into paid marketing, it only does extremely well once you know exactly the type of person that buys from you.
What you want to offer
This is about how you will create value for customers. What will you help them achieve, what pain will you fix? Once you understand this you can create the offering to solve exactly that making it impossible for your ideal client to say no!
And this point it is also important to remember your why! Because the what can be exact but the HOW needs to suit you!
How you will deliver it
This is the key about understanding what success looks like for you. So if you want to only work 3 hours a day, you need to start blocking out your non working times. If you only want to talk calls on certain days, block of the other time. If you want to work from a certain place, make it happen now in small amounts.
And PLEASE! build you products, services, course, or offering to allow you to live the life you truly desire. Without you making a conscious effort to creating that life, it just won’t happen.
Becoming the CEO
Something every business owners needs to understand is that we are all on a journey to becoming the person that has the “success” we desire – whatever that means for you! And that if we knew how to work and behaviour in the required way, we would already have the outcome we wanted.
So this is about ALWAYS asking what can learn, how can I grow into the person. Look to the people that are living the life you want. Look to the people that have the success that you want. And figure out the steps they took
If you want more on that actually strategies, then the Mastermind is exactly what you want:
- Quick Cash strategies
- Long term strategies
- Core Containers of business
- Mindset to success
- Rinse and Repeat Technology
- Values and future
Success is truly what we make it
Their is no right or wrong. Everyone has a different idea, and once you reach your idea. You can add something new to you list of success.
But one thing I have learned is that success doesn’t have to always mean having or doing more.
Success can be having a slow morning, switching off in the evening, going on a daily walk in nature. It could be having time to cook nourish meals, or get a solid 8 hours sleep every night.
You are the person who writes the list, so make sure you are being true to what you truly want in life, for some people it is fancy cars, huge houses, name brand things. But I suspect, if you are reading my blog then the slower life with more connection, meaning and community is likely to suit you better.
On a side note, I am not saying I don’t have big money goals – you are listening to a first generation millionaire in the making – but I also know that it doesn’t have to be hard. I don’t have to hustle and work myself to burnout. They is an easier way. And I am going to be sharing it from this Thursday (18 Feb 21) for anyone that is ready to step out and take control of their life and business. For anyone that wants to develop a deeper trust within, or for anyone that wants to make more time and more money by focusing on the true money making tasks.
