The Mindset Shift Business Owners Must Make To Achieve Success

Be OK with making mistakes. Decision-making inherently has a risk element, and knowing how you make decisions with imperfect information is a reminder that you are human — and also helps with a better understanding of the cascading results of making a choice. &nbsp; Whether it’s time-sensitive, a risk of looming stagnation, or more information is necessary — consider what you know: the decision will create something. Hopefully, forward movement. Use decision-making to move forward, not to plan into the far-distant future (that’s what your business strategy is for). Change from making decisions still has a stigma, so the more your company normalizes “change,” the more you can use decisions to iterate forward. &nbsp; In this program, you will hear about how you get in your own way; how to notice reality to reset and refocus; and that it is OK to make mistakes. The conversation calls out that life and work are messy, and more gets done when embracing that fact.

How to Foster Innovation in Times of Quick Change

Leading your team requires a variation of the skills you’ve developed to lead yourself. Communication becomes exponentially important — not only to create expectations about how to do the work, but also to celebrate success and meet each person where they are at (i.e., so they understand their goals align with the company’s). Tim Fortescue, Founder at 40 Watt Coaching, talks about knowing what you will do to achieve your goals — and helping your team do the same.   Reflection is often undervalued as a tool for moving forward, and is essential to avoid backtracking or pivoting as new information and results become known. It is necessary to celebrate wins along the way, too — and reflection builds in the time and opportunity to identify wins. Small wins build momentum, reinforce the way you work in your company, and deepen relationships through shared success.&nbsp; &nbsp; In this program, you will hear how to discover and plan for your grandest ideas by planting seeds for the future, knowing your performance levers, and persevering when it gets difficult.  talks with , Founder of , about taking the time to really know yourself and what you want to do. &nbsp; -------------------- &nbsp; If you want to identify business bottlenecks, the necessary skills, the initial actions to take, the expected milestones, and the priorities for achieving growth, try the " approach.

Why Talent Alone Isn't Enough for Success

Adapt! Change! Evolve! These are the three things necessary to create a lasting business. The fuel for success is determining your business purpose — that as the company develops and evolves, it continues to be fulfilling even as customers and technologies change.&nbsp; &nbsp; The insight that reflection brings is highly undervalued. Many of us use data to reflect on what happened before and where we are now, and how we look forward is based on numbers. What about you? Your team? Your customers?&nbsp; &nbsp; Reflection allows you to see and feel how you have changed so you can fully respond to the way those around you have changed. Leading a company denotes the expectation of being an example. The more you are willing to acknowledge shortcomings, desires, and strengths … the more insight you can bring to coaching for personal growth at every level. &nbsp;  talks with , co-founder and CEO of &nbsp; Systems which makes the Carousel Digital Signage Software and Cablecast Community Media products.

Lasting Businesses Do This ONE Thing Differently

Business longevity results from tenacity, small wins that compound, and saying “no” decisively. When you shape your decisions with nonnegotiables providing constraints, there is less to evaluate with regard to removing overwhelm and freeing up time to spend doing the real deep work necessary to build a thriving business.&nbsp; &nbsp; Effective communication is necessary to maximize the compounding effect of your choices. That comes from clearly articulating and sharing more than the vision, including the nonnegotiables for the way to do work. It can be difficult to persist, yet sticking to your decisions and continuously taking the next step illuminates the best possible next step to take. This effort compounds and the small wins add up. &nbsp; In this program, you will hear how the foundation to grow — including what you don’t do — is necessary to look to the future, about the importance of consistently coming back to work even when it is hard, and that willpower and effort create momentum to push forward. &nbsp; , Founder and Lead Consultant at QCO Consulting, , President and CEO at , and your host , Managing Partner at , discuss accountability and how consistent action is THE factor in achieving your biggest goals. &nbsp; -------------------- Are you looking to achieve your long-term growth goals with ease?

Foster Consistent Action to Achieve Goals

With a slight shift in thinking, you can become an even more global citizen. Since technology connects us more than ever, it is easier to think beyond our local community, take ethical action to help and commit to using our advantages to help others.&nbsp; &nbsp; For many, the difference between passion and drive is blurred. Through reflection for self-awareness — rooted in values and integrity — intentional action becomes possible. The impact you want to have, the participation in something bigger than yourself, is BOLD. And it may take a lot of hard work to become the person you need to be to do it. &nbsp; This program will present two questions you can ask yourself to reflect on and confirm that your values align with your actions. You will also learn what limiting beliefs do and how self-awareness can be a tool to navigate through them.

How to Keep Going When You Don't See Results

Trusting yourself in the present moment may seem simple, but it's easier said than done. The expectations surrounding how we use our time slow us down, making it difficult to tap into our creativity and innovation.&nbsp; &nbsp; While mindfulness in business is a popular concept, we aim to take it further by advocating for a more comprehensive approach. This involves setting yourself up for success by integrating mindfulness into your daily routine and tapping into your inner creativity.&nbsp; &nbsp; To do this, it's important to shift your thinking away from current thoughts about mindfulness in business. Instead, focus on how mindfulness can make your work more fulfilling and enjoyable and how your challenges are worth the effort. Doing so can unleash your full potential and achieve greater success in all aspects of your life. &nbsp; In this program, you will learn questions to ask, experiments to gather information, and how to shift the lens you use to assess challenges. Trusting yourself begins with creating and protecting your environment — inside and outside yourself. As you tune in, think about your traits — focus primarily on the ones you may see as weaknesses, and figure out how these characteristics are actually your strengths. Innovation from the inside allows new and different ways of working to emerge.&nbsp; &nbsp;  facilitates a BOLD discussion about how to change our relationship with time to be more creative in business and the connection between mindfulness and creativity with , President at Point A to Point B Transitions, , Clinical Nurse and Intuitive Life Coach, and , Acupuncturist and Herbalist. &nbsp; -------------------- If you want to identify business bottlenecks, the necessary skills, the initial actions to take, the expected milestones, and the priorities for achieving growth, try the " approach.
