Today's article is about how to replace those mistakes with a better approach, one that improves your sales results. You can read the prior article here. To recap, the 3 false beliefs I see so often are: 1.Anyone will be interested in my product/service and want to buy it. 2.If I just get the chance to explain my product/service's benefits, people will be convinced and buy it. 3. If I could just learn the right words, I could persuade prospects to accept my offer (buy my product/service or join my team or whatever). Remember - these are all FALSE beliefs.

There are many traits of successful entrepreneurs -- decisiveness is one of them. Nothing is more powerful than making conscious choices that shape your life's path and also reflect your priorities and what you value most. But the challenge at times is figuring out how to make sound decisions without waffling back and forth, or worse, rethinking your decision over and over again after making up your mind. Not only is this approach a huge waste of time, it also robs you of ene

I was visited by my own personal angel or spirit guide, who came into my life out of nowhere, and left just as suddenly. That was my cat, Troy. When I adopted him, he was very skittish and so nervous about how I would treat him. He spent the first two weeks under the bed, full-time. Then he came out but needed to maintain a safe distance of about 10 feet away from me at all times. Fast forward to when he was cuddled beside me on the sofa for hours, alte ating between encouraging me to pet him and dozing. He had come a long, long way!

As a mom business owner you are running a marathon, not a sprint. Skip these two imperatives, and you may not reach the finish line: 1) Follow basic business principles (do the right things and do them well) 2) Have fun. Type “As” with the drive to plunge into entrepreneurism don’t always see the value of having a good time. But if you don’t acknowledge our accomplishments along the way, you may be in for a long ride.

Many businesses have an easy access to dramatic improvements in profitability by focusing on the most effective areas and eliminating, ignoring, automating, delegating or re-training the rest, as appropriate. The Pareto Principle states that 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. The distribution shows up in several different aspects relevant to entrepreneurs and business managers. For example: 80% of your profits come from 20% of your customers 80% of your complaints come from 20% of your customers 80% of your profits come from 20% of the time you spend

Starting a mom-biz enterprise feels like standing on a circle surrounded by an endless sea. Far in the distance you see a glimpse of brilliant light that drew you to step onto the circle. A life where you can be present for those important family moments while using your God-given talents, a life that draws you and gives you the financial wiggle room to invest in what you value.

Mom business owners tuned into God’s vision recognize early they must be leveraged. They can’t earn more in less time alone without working with others. Partnerships could include: A business agreement with a colleaguer A joint venture relationshipr An employee relationshipr An outside contractor relationship.

Each day when you drive to work, do you have a feeling of restlessness? Or maybe it’s just feeling unsettled or uncomfortable. And while at work, does every little thing frustrate you? Sometimes these feelings are mental, sometimes physical and sometimes both.

Most sales people - business owners included - place cold calls high on the list of things we would rather not do. It is so much nicer for businesses to rely on referrals. Having people call you and give you a name to contact is a wonderful thing! But, unfortunately, there are times that a cold call is required. These times can include when:rn- the economy is down, and you’re having to really go out and find business.rn- you are launching a new product or service.rn- new competition has entered your market.rn- your pipeline has reached a dangerously low level.

In my 21-plus years as a faith-based marriage and family therapist, the prevailing research showed no distinction between the greater than 50% general population divorce rate and that of Catholic couples. I struggled to buy those stats. I’m not alone. For years facilitators at Catholic Engaged Encounter weekends dissected the numbers. They educate couples using a more plausible marital stability description. Couples united in their faith have divorce rates in the single digits. And devout Catholics embracing NFP (natural family planning) statistically never divorce.

One of my biggest lessons is that my business is constantly showing me where I carry wounds that need healing. And when I heal that wound, I feel great! I'm more secure and grounded in myself; I have more self-confidence. I have much less second-guessing and fewer imaginary conversations with other people inside my head. As I am healed, I'm able to heal others.

As a Mompreneur, you know that many depend on you so regardless if you are sick, the show must go on. But don’t underestimate how your well-being powers your business success. Your health is your business locomotive—from giving you bling you need to nail presentations, courage to make scary, rejection-laden sales calls; to energy for everything else. To optimize healthiness, alte ative and complementary medicine encourage prevention to avoid getting run-down.

One Huge Mistake I Commonly See Being Made by Coaches, Consultants, Service Providers and Other Heart-Centered Entrepreneurs When Setting Up An Online Business There is one huge mistake I see heart-centered entrepreneurs making over and over in their business and it's stopping them from creating a successful business. What is this one mistake? It's not taking the time to create the right mindset for business success.

What turned an uninspired teacher into a successful mom biz owner with bragging rights of earning a company car her first 30 days, replacing her teacher salary in 6 months, and tripling that income in a single year? It’s simpler than you think. It’s something your mom used to tell you… you know, when you were nervous about going to that party or your first day entering your new high school. Can’t you hear her now, “Just be yourself!”.

One of the most important decisions I have made was to invest in myself. When I committed to a training program that cost $14,000 –I was casting a vote of confidence in ME. No one else could have that belief for me: no spouse, no friend, no family member. I had to believe in myself AND act on that belief. For me, having the belief and acting on it took the form of 1) writing a $14,000 check, 2) travelling to Florida for a week of hard work and 3) exposing myself and being vulnerable to others. I did all of that out of faith in myself and my abilities.

When thinking of starting a business, there are levels that many people find themselves passing through. First, owning your own business or becoming an entrepreneur is a thought, which leads to a serious idea, which turns into contemplation, and eventually ends up with a major decision. This choice is to not pursue it or to give it further consideration.

Many women entrepreneurs I meet are NOT playing their bigger game. They’re not fully claiming ownership of all their wonderful gifts and skills, and they’re not fully sharing those gifts with the world.

If you’re heading on a romantic weekend away with your partner, then it can be hard not to plan and create an itinerary of romantic things for the both of you to do. There’s no need to spend weeks planning your idea of a perfect trip, or trying to persuade (or bribe) the hotel staff to scatter rose petals on your bed in the shape of a heart and leave a bottle of champagne chilling in an ice bucket. Whilst these things are nice, getting away and just spending time with one

In my last ezine article, Whats Your Most Important 20 Percent, the article was based on where your 20 Percent effort was most effective. Now we are focusing on whether 80% of your sales come from 20% of your clients or does 20% of your team members produce 80% of your team's sales and/or provide 80% of your team's recruits? The 20% of the causes, which create your sales, recruits, or whatever results you value, is sometimes referred to as your "vital few" and the other 80% of your causes as the "trivial many".

When you decide to start your own business, there are many choices that must be made. First, you must decide what you want to do. That “what” has to be something that meets a need within you. You must have an interest in what you’re creating. If you don’t, it will be just a job. In that case, you might as well go work for someone else.

So often, we get caught up in the day to day dramas of being a mom that we have trouble finding the time to work on our dreams. Life just always seems to get in the way. But shouldn’t your dreams be your life? What are we, if we don’t have dreams, and goals that help us to reach our dreams? Dreams are so important for us to grow as a person. They give us a purpose in life. Now I know you all have a million things to do, but if you are going to ever reach your dreams, then

Businesses have lots of moving parts. If something isn’t where it should be things don’t work. To make it worse, businesses are run by people…people whose actions or inactions are controlled 90% by unconscious drives, thoughts and feelings. People are parts of families. Families are complicated. Individuals in a family often have seemingly conflicting needs. God made moms to be the heart of families. Moms feel the pulse of the family, and can tell when there is hurt and there is joy and everything in between. Moms know in their core when something’s clogged, impaired or broken.r

Lack of sleep, commonly known as insomnia, is a problem which most people experience nowadays. Though you have lots of reasons which can be attributed to this problem, the primary reasons of sleeplessness are day to day problems, emotional anxiety and improper dietary habits. You will need to recognize and eliminate the triggers at the earliest to avoid it from leading to additional complications.

Time to do what you want - when you want - is one of the top benefits of owning a home business. Unfortunately, failure to manage that time can be one of the biggest negatives. Working from home brings a sense of relaxation, a contrast to working in an off-site setting - no matter how casual it may be. And rarely would you be able to come and go as you please to the extreme that working at home allows. That can cause a loss of attention and a lack of time management. Working from home allows you to: - schedule doctor appointments any time of the dayr

The first month of the year is nearly done, have you set your business priorities yet? How you structure your time now determines whether your cash flow will look naughty or nice this 2014. So, in addition to keeping God in the loop through prayer throughout the process andscheduling an official minimum three-hour comprehensive annual 2014 planning session before New Year’s Eve, here are 6 steps to help you and your cash flow be friends:

I hear a lot of entrepreneurs complain that they're not being productive. They have a lot they want to accomplish, yet they feel that they're not getting enough done. They're mentally assessing their productivity and giving themselves a failing grade. They ask me: "How can I manage my time better?" Typically, what needs to be better managed is not time; it's your energy. If there's one aspect of your business where you consistently procrastinate; that you consistently avoid; that just doesn't get done - the answer is almost always to look at what your feelings are.

Small, medium-sized and home-based businesses often state their number one conce is cash flow and solvency. Therefore, purchases – especially unexpected ones – can cause havoc on your budget.

Include gardening as part of the child care program as well as a home-based learning experience.

Today I planned to sign our soon-to-be 13-year-old son up for his first email account. With an Xbox user name of “Poison Salmon”, I wanted to give him adequate time to consider the implications of a good email name choice. To make the point, brother, sister, and I joked with Ian on the ride to school. We asked him to picture telling his tough-as-nail history teacher Mrs. Canada that she could send the email homework instructions to him at superfart1@yahoo.com.

I recently attended an amazing conference, SEVEN, intended to help entrepreneurs create seven-figure businesses. The conference was run by some coaches that I wanted to see live and in person and experience their message face-to-face instead of email. Plus my ticket was free and the conference was right down the road. I was in! I got so much out of the conference that, when they made the audience an offer on the last day, I jumped on it! I decided that yes, I would pay $14,700 to join their next program for speakers.

In one of the online discussion groups we follow, the topic “du jour” was bartering, or exchanging of goods and/or services between parties without the need for cash. Some of the group members were quite enthralled with the benefits of bartering, while others seemed less inclined to participate. Because of my background as an accountant, I wanted to understand the debits and credits of the transaction and how the IRS viewed the issue before I could form an opinion. I was

Today’s Modern working women are role models for all and they know their self-worth and purpose. They have to balance the work at home as well as in office. They have to utilize the minimum time they get reasonably, carefully and most important intelligently. Besides their daily work they also have to emphasize on their appearance and look because it is vital for a successful life. Professionally they have to look impressive as it being the basic nature of feminism. However

The recent boo-boo I experienced for the launch of my online radio show was a good reminder to value humility-building experiences. Minutes into the program, the previous day's beautifully working dashboard of the online radio program locked up. Later, I suspected the bubble screensaver my kids had loaded on the computer plus unwanted popups caused the glitch. I regretted procrastinating having the computer people remove the malware fueling the uninvited cyber- advertisements, blocking me from viewing the broadcast clock.

No pain, no gain. Target heart rate. Pumping up. These are all terms we relate to fitness for adults. But do the same conditions apply to young kids?

Certainly, they are active enough to be physically fit! rnUnfortunately, the statistics suggest otherwise. On average, kids ages two to five spend about 25 ½ hours a week watching t

FEAR vs. LOVE I was raised as a Muslim, under the teachings of Islam. I was always told that I needed to make sure that my 5 prayers were completed every single day no matter what unless "I was not able to pray" meaning when I was on my period, which was the only time I could not pray or fast because I considered "unclean". There were times when I came home from work very tired and didn't have the strength to physically pray, but I still had to do it because of my fear of GOD

At the moment, there is a lot of conversation around women at work and how they’re significantly underrepresented in the industry in many different countries. For example, in America, 5% of tech industry ownership is women, which is even smaller for black women across the world studying science, technology, engineering, and mathematic (STEM) related courses at university at only 2.9%. From this, it’s reasonable to ask—what about women in business? In positive news, it w

One point many Christian Working Moms who have been interviewed have made is that they are a shining light in their work place. Whether or not you can speak openly about your faith at work, your co-workers are watching. Are they seeing Jesus in you? Do they see you handle ethical issues in a different manner than other co-workers? Do they see a peace in you amidst all of the stress of the job? Do they see your priorities are in order? Although, we are to be workers worthy of

Grants for Women Business: Women have become an important part of every business category and have made their mark in government as well as other organization. Women no longer stay in their respective houses and wait for their husbands to come, they have moved on. They have made their mark and proved to the world that they can do all those things which a so called “Man” can do. The government has realized a fact that it is time that they help women go throw their dreams.

I admire devout Christians living Godly lives. Without the help of the Catholic Church and the Sacraments I’m not sure I would make the cut. In a non-Catholic Christian church I fear I would be crushed by the varying teaching based on who pastors the church you attend, inconstant philosophies that don’t always fit together well, lack of unity of the big items, and regular debates on what as Catholics we’ve put to bed centuries ago. I wouldn’t see myself functioning well in my faith and work life with that undercurrent of unresolved issues and ignored conflicts.
