Implementing Regular Reviews
One of the most common opportunities that professionals can take advantage of more consistent and effective reviews. If you’re wondering why we are talking about reviews in the first week of January, it’s because we set our sights on moving forward in the start of the year but the best way to keep that momentum going is to also look back on a regular basis. Today we wanted to offer a way to implement effective, regular reviews. 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail Before we discuss our tips, did you know that 70% of businesses will fail? We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you and you can access it right here. Calendar It The best way to implement a review strategy is to put it on the calendar. We recommend at least 1 review day per quarter, or two full days for the first 6 months. This needs to be a blocked day in the calendar the same way you’d treat a vacation. Block it and do NOT make the mistake of booking anything during that day. Know Your KPIs Key Performance Indicators are exactly what they suggest. Make sure that your review includes the activities that are most important to the growth of your business. If you don’t know these already then take a step back and consider what activity really leads to your goals and put something in place that allows you to track it. Re-Center When we move forward it’s rarely in a straight line. Implementing a regular review means recognizing where we have lost track of our true north. It happens to all professionals and is a top reason it takes longer to achieve goals than we think. Reviews are like pulling out a compass and making sure we are moving in the direction we want to.

This is a good sign that we have stopped growing and developing and it’s our soul’s method of letting us know it may be time to make a change. Just make sure you’re not jumping the gun with this one. Some boredom is natural and it’s very helpful for the creative spirit. You’re Doing Things You Don’t Want To Sometimes we find ourselves in a position where we look around and realize we’re doing a lot of things we don’t want to be doing. If this is the case, it’s a great sign to take stock and decide what changes we can make. Consistently doing things we don’t want to do is both draining and ineffective. Put energy into the things that bring joy, growth, and satisfaction. Another Part of Your Life Ended When change comes into one aspect of our life it can be a great inflection point for us to make changes in other parts of our lives.

The Influence Of Mindset
Mindset can have great influence on who we are and what we achieve. If you didn’t check out our weekly newsletter on this topic, shoot us a note and we’ll send you a one off. We explore how the concept of our thoughts being our existence first came into the world of philosophy all the way nearly 500 years ago! But enough about philosophy, here is the simple truth. Our beliefs and our thoughts drive our actions. Our actions, our beliefs and our thoughts are who we are in this world. It’s no more complicated than that. Here’s proof. Who do you believe you are? What do you think you’re good at? What do you think you’re bad at? When you do the things that you believe you’re good at, are you good at them? When you do the things you think you’re bad at, are you bad at them? Even if you were wonderful at the things you thought you were bad at, if you believed strongly enough you were bad, if you thought strongly enough you were bad, even objective observers would start to be persuaded that you were bad. In fact, the power of thought is so strong that even something you carry expertise in can be cast into doubt with the smallest of questions. Have you ever been asked a question about something you at any other time would be 100% positive about? Something you knew so certainly that you’d bet your life on it? Then all of a sudden, that certainty is questioned and now you’re doubting your own knowledge that you would have bet your life on at another time. This happens to people all of the time. It’s perfectly natural and it’s also perfectly indicative of how strongly our thoughts influence who we are. Are we an expert, or are we a fraud? Do we know this for certain, or do we doubt our own expertise? Our mindset is an enormous driver of our success in our professional and our personal lives. Mindset is at the core of everything we do in the Lab and is central to our beRICH mindset and a foundation part of our process, Mastery With Science. Every day we have an opportunity to be aware of and control our own internal narrative. We think, therefore we are and we are what we think. How you let your mindset influence you will influence, impact and control how you show up every day in your own life and the lives of the people around you. Want to know more about mindset? Join us in the lab here, where we will be discussing this theme throughout the week. You can also listen in to our most recent podcast with special guest, Suzanne Taylor of Taylord Consulting. Suzanne is a practitioner of Positive Psychology and helps her clients combat the self-sabotage of negative self talk and harmful mindsets! Listen to the Podcast
