As a business owner, it is quite easy for you to get caught up in running your business from day to day. This is even truer if you are into micromanagement as every small issue that arises will require your personal attention. You can take your business to new heights but at the cost of your personal and social life.

In today’s continuously evolving world, we are in a constant phase of change. It means that the business model thriving today may become outdated within a decade or possibly even sooner. An excellent example of this is brick-and-mortar stores. It was a preferred shopping method; however, Covid-19 has reshaped many aspects of our lives. The lockdowns and advancing technology have helped online stores take over previous physical models. It has empowered millennial entrepreneurs with a low budget since you don’t need any inventory, a place to showcase your products, or a team to run the store. You can single-handedly run the entire show and pave your way to success. All you need is a killer website, products that clients crave, and unparalleled shipment services. Unfortunately, this model comes with its own set of challenges: credibility, consistency, and reliability.For those that want to make it big and are ready to dedicate their time and energy can overcome this by cleverly integrating technology with incred

Many times, we get in the way of ourselves, meaning our beliefs limit us from reaching our goals.  We all have limiting beliefs, some more than others.  Since limiting beliefs are at the subconscious level, most of us are not even aware that we have them; however, they can stand in the way of you being successful in your business or other areas of your life.What is a Limiting Belief?Beliefs are perceptions based on memories of past experiences, and how we have interpreted them.  We make emotional attachments to people and events, which then become the foundation of our belief system.  Beliefs translate into how we view ourselves, others, and situations, and give us a sense of certainty on how we act on a daily basis.  These influence the decisions you make throughout the day based on expectations that you have.  A limiting belief causes you to automatically make an assessment based on something that is inaccurate.  While some limiting beliefs are easier to identify than others, they do begin to become part of

Look upon history, and you’ll find that the notable quality that exists in all champions is persistence.The path you walk will not always be easy, but you have to continue to persist.  Even in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds, you must keep putting one foot in front of the other, because there are lessons to be learned along the way, all of which will support your success Whenever you confront an obstacle or roadblock, step back and emotionally detach yourself from the situation.  It’s much easier to think of ways to go around, under, or over the obstacle when you let go of the frustration.  This may take some practice, so try this exercise: imagine a friend is the one facing the challenge(s), and you are simply providing ideas on how to help them overcome the obstacle.  When you are solution-oriented, you focus on the possibilities, not the impossibilities.In truth, nothing is impossible, and change is always inevitable.  Knowing this, you can take persistent steps in faith, with the wisdom that nothi

When you’re the only one holding yourself accountable, it can be easy for things to slip through the cracks. The goals you have for yourself and your business can fall to the wayside if you’re constantly getting stuck in the weeds, which is why it’s important to have accountability as a business owner.The #1 Reason People Don’t Get What They Want in Life is Lack of Accountability. Accountability can look differently to each person; it might mean weekly check-ins to make sure you’re on track with your financial and strategic goals for the company, or it could mean having someone make sure you’re addressing a recent failure and learning from it.
