13 reasons why your business could fail !
I found this when I searching google for growing a business. If I was thinking of starting a business and did the same search, I would give up and crawl back under my stone and never come out.
How about 13 reasons why your business could succeed? Well maybe not 13, but you get the idea. I’m sure what the author does for a living unless he’s a doom monger by trade.
People in business need to be careful, make sure that their idea is a good one, get paid, not overtrade and so on.
or How to succeed !!!!!!!!!
So here’s my bash at what you may need to grow a business , or make a business grow .
1 Sell some service or product
2 Keep selling it
3 Sell to a new market and sell more to existing customers or market place
4 Get good people around you to support you , ask for help even pay for good business support – motivation , focus
5 Make sure you get paid on time every time – set your own time , not 30 days or even worse 90 days
6 Avoid getting ripped off
7 Make sure you know what the end game is – Vision , inspiration
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Mastermind Groups
This idea comes from Napoleon Hill – “Think and Grow Rich “. The idea is that gathering together a group of people with something in common, that are supportive, full of ideas and will hold you to account.
There is plenty of evidence that having a great support network around you , makes life easier , makes success easier even.
I have been in one for six months or so and I have found it very useful and I think that most of the members would agree, they keep coming back !
The costs of doing this are low, very low indeed about £10 a month. It isn’t a replacement for expert help in your business but runs alongside , especially for those decisions that are tricky on your own .
If you want to know more – ask 07876173444

Motivation and Slimming
Motivation and Slimming
There are a lot of motivation aids and techniques ;speakers , videos , books and even coaches .If you need to get something done which may be a bit tricky – give up smoking , lose weight , make sales calls,
write those letters ,change – you need motivation .
At this point I want to take you back to recent history, the late 70’s, when I played rugby union, badly, for Boston Rugby Club 3rds or 4 ths. Boston for those of you who don’t know is very flat, very flat. The only places for hill starts are bridges and if, as in my case the traffic is moving there are no hill starts on a driving test. This makes it a great place for walking and cycling, but does mean that there is no shelter from any wind .Back to the rugby; it is 2.30pm Saturday afternoon in the changing rooms which are unheated. The 3rds are just about ready , ralglex sprayed on , grease applied on top of it , Vaseline applied to eyebrows and ears , last fag almost done .The opposition in the adjacent changing room however are getting motivated , chanting and stamping their feet .
We exchange smiles, knowing how cold it is going to be. The opposition are really well motivated until the cold, the mud and our tackles take their toll .The motivation drains away. We win (it’s my tale, I am allowed to win).
This really is my take on motivation, the stamping has its place, but real motivation has to come from within. So to me listen to some fine speakers, watch Tony Robbins by all means, but the motivation has to come from within. My coaching does two things, find the motivation within, the reason why and then keep that level up, not allow it to slacken.
Slimming
Recent news is that commercial slimming schemes are more effective than NHS schemes -http://to.ly/boet . This is the headline.
However in more depth – Slimming World / Weight Watchers was offered against Sports Centre vouchers, schemes with nurses and so on. The motivation was obviously higher in the commercial schemes because of the group support; it is easier with good people to support you – this made not trying less of an option.
This is a roundabout way of saying that motivation comes from within and it is easier if you have great supportive people around you and you have a why working for you. To discuss this and other issues phone me on 07876173444.
