Do you know what to do next to fix the current aches and pains of your business?

When change happens in proportions never even imagined, as small business owners we must make changes quickly and strategically within our organizations. This will allow us not only to just survive but put us on the path to thrive. Perhaps even better than before.

This Fix This Next Webinar is going to give you tools to help your business to identify the most important need your business has right now. The vital need.  This is a time for innovation and creating a new vision for your business to allow you to move through this pandemic and beyond.

In our time together we will create the outline for your specific plan in order to regroup using the Business Hierarchy of Needs that fits your business.

The elements we will review include:

Sales - The creation of cash

Profit - The creation of stability

Order - The creation of efficiency

Impact - The creation of transformation

Legacy - The creation of permanence

Often we might think that more sales is the answer when in fact it might be one of these other categories that are keeping your business from prospering. This is without a doubt the time to work on your business if you want it to survive for the long term.

The world is full of those who only take. However, it’s the ones that give who fully succeed.

You’re going to learn how to care about others in a way where you provide value that makes your community celebrate all that you do. When your business is centered around enriching the lives of others, the law of reciprocity creates amazing results for all your hard effort. Even if you spend a year giving it your all and no one noticed, you can still be happy that you were able to give your gift to the world without expecting anything in return. Then, it’s just a matter of time until your business becomes widely celebrated by your tribe.

We are taught from an early age not to fail. Then we grow up and spend the rest of our lives fearing failure, instead of embracing it.

We often get scared to take new risks and create new relationships. What we should be taught is how to get up after each fall and grow beyond our previous challenges. Failure is actually a discovery process. We will find the strengths that allow us to look at them as turning points and learning opportunities to we get back up and move towards incredible success.

Our business grows by what we think.

In this fast-paced world, our thinking can quickly become what others are thinking if we don’t give ourselves the time and space to do our own thinking. Innovation is the driving force behind a long term successful business and consistent accurate thinking is mandatory. In this Mastermind we look at the importance of pushing the envelope by allowing our best thinking to happen. You will also get thinking exercises that will encourage the team you work with to create new innovations allowing your business to develop and grow.

We each are given 24 hours in each day.

The 24 hours that most of us are given in each day can fall short in getting everything done, most especially if you own a small business. Instead of owning your business, the business may be owning you and your time as the “To-Do” lists can seem to go on and on!

How often are your 24 hours carefully orchestrated to get the most out of them while being realistic of the interruptions that can and will happen?

If you are constantly saying, “I don’t have enough time” it's a good indication that you need to revisit your priorities. Especially, if you are always putting others priorities in front of your own.

Together we will create a strategy of practical, realistic steps to remove the stress from your day-to-day activities. This will allow you to get your precious time back to do what you want and need to do.

Once you relieve yourself of the time suckers you can go from being overwhelmed and stressed out to owning a business with a schedule that gets results. While you enjoy the time you have been given.
