Recession Proof Your Business (Part 2) Leadership for Success

Leadership for yourself and your business is extremely important in tough economic times. Leadership is about setting goals and then working towards those goals. It is also about accessing what is the most important task that you can complete in your business to get the best possible results. Then following through with this task until completion and moving on to the next most important task.

You will never get everything done and some things you do are very important to accomplish and some things are less important. To be successful you need to focus on and make sure that you complete the most important tasks every day. This means set goals each day and then look at the goals and think about which ones are most likely to create a better income for you than the others and focus your attention on those things. Do them first.

One of the most important things you can do for your business is to continually attract new customers and then convert those new customers into paying customers and then give them excellent service, keep them happy and build relationships with them so that they will continue to do business with you and they will also refer others to you. This should be your main focus each and every day.

Be innovative and creative in the ways that you market in your business and make sure that you are in alignment with who you really are. Trying to be like someone else is never going to make the best use of you. But being true to yourself and using your gifts and talents to help people to solve their problems and keep them happy is the best possible use of your time. Continually look for better, faster, cheaper, more effective methods to attract, convert and satisfy your customers. Once you make a commitment to this it is wonderful how the law of attraction helps you along the way!

Life is about problems and the more that you can focus on the solution to these problems the better your business and your life will be. Problems are your friend and also an indicator of something that you can make better in either your life or your customer’s life so treat them as a friend rather than something to be avoided at all costs. Many people in business are upset when somebody comes to them with a problem and they either make excuses and blame somebody else or worse still give the customer involved the run around. This is not at all an effective way to do things in your business. If you deal with customer problems in a way that creates win/win situations for both of you, then you and your business will stand apart and your business will thrive. Think about the problem at hand. Brainstorm possible solutions and make sure that the solution is in the best interest of all concerned. Many people think that business is about making money but if you look at business being about building relationships then you will find that you will never have to worry about the money because it will be a natural by-product of the strong bonds that you have with your clients.

Another thing that provides you with wonderful leadership skills is to be a role model. Think about how you want things done and be an example to others. Even if no body is watching you do the best you possibly can in any situation. Be really clear about your highest possible vision for your business and your life and make sure that everything that you do is in alignment with that vision. Remember problems are a natural by-product of all of our lives. If you can stay calm and confident in the face of problems then you will excel in your life and in your business. Also when you feel calm and confident you are happier on the inside and this activates the law of attraction so that you attract more good things into your life.
