3 Tips On Celebrating Without Getting Off Course

It’s incredibly important to celebrate. Celebration allows us to refresh our minds, recenter our energy on why we got started and forces us to actively review and serve reverence to milestones and victories achieved on our journey. In other words, celebration forces us to slow down and appreciate what we have accomplished. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon to allow celebrating to take us off course. In this blog we’ll offer 3 tips on how to celebrate without getting off track! 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail Before we toss any confetti, 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. Here’s the best ways to celebrate while staying on track Celebrate in a way that doesn’t take away from your progress Ever see someone successfully complete a diet and then celebrate by having a ridiculous cheat day? Sure, they’ve accomplished something great, but they actively work against their progress in the celebration. The key to celebrating effectively and staying on track is to celebrate with a reward that does not undermine your progress. On a diet? Celebrate with something different than food. Exercising a ton to get healthy? Celebrate by giving yourself a spa day to workout the knots and tension in your muscles. Celebrate more consistently and less heavily Do you know anyone that’s achieved something great and then goes out on a rager to celebrate? It’s like a ton of pent up emotion comes out all at once. It’s better to celebrate in moderation, more frequently than it is to go all out. Going all out can be a disruptor and disruptors are known for getting people off track with their behaviors. Try celebrating with some more frequency and in greater moderation if this is something you find yourself guilty of! Celebrate with your supporters Most of us aren’t on an island by ourselves. Our businesses and our goals are supported by our partners, spouses, family members, investors, constituents, clients…etc. Nobody is successful by themselves. Celebrating with your supporters shows you care and nets you two birds with one stone. Not only do you get all the benefits of celebration, by making your supporters a part of the celebration you actively re-engage them and their efforts and acknowledge the influence and impact they have had on your journey!

The Best Ways To Recover From Burnout Quickly

75% of people admit to experiencing burnout. What most people don’t know is that recovery from burnout can last from 11 weeks to YEARS. If that’s the case it’s probably best to avoid burnout if possible and yet, if 3 out of 4 of us experience it, that may not be a real option. Today we look at the best ways to recover from burnout quickly so that we can get over it quickly and minimize the impact of burnout in our lives. 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail Before we discuss our tips, did you know that 70% of businesses will fail?

It’s our free gift to you and you can access it right here. Ok, if burnout feels almost inevitable it’s time to deal with reducing the impact. Our focus here is to offer some of the most scientifically proven and effective ways to shorten the length of time it takes to recover from burnout. 1. Get outside Studies have consistently shown that getting outside reduces physical and psychological stress levels. If we’re burnt out, we should spend some time in nature. Generally, the more remote the better. 2. Exercise Exercise reduces stress levels and helps us get in a better frame of mind. This is essential for getting past burnout. By being smart and working out outdoors we can reduce stress even more. 3. Remember our why and be more impactful Getting back to why we got started in the first place will help you hit reset and recall the positive reasons you are working towards something. It will also help you recall the impact your work makes and help you focus in again on the impact. By creating impact, we recognize that we do as much for others as we do for ourselves. This is a tremendous way to help recover from burnout faster. This blog is inspired by our most recent BBB Live featuring special guest, Susan Block.

3 Surefire Hacks To Boost Your Productivity

Being busy doesn’t mean being productive. Too often we are all guilty of spending our time always in motion. We can call it the grind, the hustle, whatever we want, but unfortunately, calling it by a trendy name doesn’t mean that being busy is the same as being productive. If you’re looking for ways to stop being busy and start being productive here are 3 surefire hacks to boost your productivity, immediately! 70% of Entrepreneurs 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. 3 easy to implement hacks for productivity 1. Prioritize and Eliminate Distractions When we drill down to the most important things to do every day, are we doing them? Are we consistent with them? Do we do them with a focus, integrity and passion to do them as a well as possible. Many people aren’t sure, which is a sure sign that we can get better at prioritizing. Prioritizing means getting rid of the garbage. Garbage in, garbage out. Take out the trash and be intentional with our time. Time is our most valuable asset. While we are at it, eliminate the pesky distractions that derail us from putting our focus on where it matters most! 2. Outsource We probably shouldn’t be doing that. What’s that? It’s different for each of us, but for each of us there is an intersection between talent and passion and that is where it’s often best for us to spend our time. It’s where we find ‘flow’ and the ability to deeply focus and be productive. For all the rest? Time to find someone else to hand it off to. Someone who has a talent and passion for the things you do not. 3. Automate If it can be made into a system, it is often best for us to do just that. Automation clears out our schedule from all the tasks that leech our time. Time spends can suck away your time, your focus, and your energy. Automate when and where you can to truly boost your productivity Our tips are inspired by our recent quick hit podcast, a 7 minute down and dirty dive into 3 easy to implement hacks for productivity.

How To Build A Flexible Schedule For Maximum Performance

Great news, you control your day! Or do you? Chances are if you’re an entrepreneur or service based professional you’ve developed a calendar that works for you. Mostly. You may have also picked up some habits that harm you more than they help. Here are a few tips to help you build a schedule with flexibility so you can maximize your performance all day, every day. 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, you can access it right here. Secret 1 – Be more self aware Half of the battle with managing our calendars is recognizing how long it takes us to accomplish something. We’re typically pretty bad at this and deal with performance optimism. It’s the idea that we believe can get more done faster than we actually can. Do yourself a favor. If you want more flexibility in your schedule than add a little extra time for whatever is on your calendar. 60 minute meeting, better make it 70 minutes on the calendar. It’s amazing how much flexibility this will build and additional performance we can get out of the day. Secret 2 – Respect your time and everyone else’s If we try to schedule every minute of every day out we create an environment that will be break under stress. What do we mean by that? Well, life happens and to leave no time for life happening is, in our opinion, a very common and very costly mistake we see professionals make all the time. Plan for things to go wrong and we can find ourselves prepared for this and better able to handle it. Leave no room for life to happen and we all know how that can feel. Like a house of cards teetering and then crashing down. Secret 3 – Set aside time for yourself We aren’t robots, as much as we’d like to be sometimes. We need rest, we need little moments to recuperate. There was a study done on internal salespeople to see who performed the best. The highest performers were the smokers. No, nicotine doesn’t make better salespeople. But wouldn’t you know it, those smokers took a 5-minute break for themselves every 60-90 minutes. That few minutes for ourselves can make an enormous difference in our performance the other 55 or 85 minutes that follows. If we want to have a flexible schedule that allows for maximum performance this is a great way to ensure we can get it done all day long.

5 Essential Tips To Build A Successful Community

Building a successful community isn’t always easy. Here are 5 essential tips to build a successful community you won’t want to skip over! 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 you can access it right here. 1. Know who you want Believe it or not, building a community means being as intentional about who we DON’T let in as who we do let in. Just grabbing anyone to build a community hurts more than it helps. Sure numbers and volume look good but if that person doesn’t share the values, doesn’t intend to be a part of the community and isn’t active, they end up taking more than they give. 2. Give If we want to build a community, it’s important to understand that we all need to lead by example. Whatever the binding elements of your community are, we must be deliberate and we must be front in center showing everyone in the community that we embrace the shared values of the group. 3. Know your community People join a community because they have a shared belief or value system. We all want to identify with other people, and we want to be accepted. To make sure we have a successful community make sure to know what is important for the community to share. Those common threads are what will form unbreakable bonds in a group! 4. Let people go Life isn’t static and we all change. What’s important to us today may not be as important to us tomorrow. As important as it is to bring people into a community it’s just as important to let people go. If someone isn’t a good for the community you’re developing, wish them the best and help them move on to someplace that they want to be. 5. Evolve Communities will change over time. Whenever we get a large group of people together, it’s natural for the groupthink to lead a community to a different place from where it started. By keeping a close eye on our communities, we can identify when we see shifts and evolutions happening. Instead of fighting a change, consider if it’s to the communities benefit first. If it is then we have an opportunity to help pave the road for a successful shift in our communities!
