CHANGE IS HARD, BUT STAYING THE SAME IS EVEN HARDER

Business today is different. We all feel it – there’s more to do with less time than ever before. Connected by our devices and beholden to our diaries, the sheer volume of things to be done can be overwhelming.

That’s why most of us know that we get stuck working IN our business, not ON it. And unless you have lots of revenue and resources to do the day to day, that is not changing any time soon.

There are a few things that can make a difference to helping you get on top of your strategy and drive to the outcome you want. These three things have taken me more than 15 years to realise the impact they can have.

The first is accessing experts – people have been there and done that. But the trick is to not just utilise one but many who are generous of spirit and willing to share what they know for your benefit.

The second is learning from other peoples experiences – seeing the mistakes others make and how they triumphed can fast forward your progress tenfold.

The third is having a solid plan – one not just that you write for the bank, but one that actually states what you need to do to get where you are going. Practical, concise and considered.

 

These three things have been the basis for us building the 30 Day Business Challenge. For the past five years we have been filming business owners going through a business transformation. We have assigned them mentors and given them access to experts. Over that time we noticed reoccurring patterns in the way they operated – and how the right advice at the right time changed their strategy considerably.

I am genuinely thrilled that we can now share these experiences with you with our new online learning platform. Going through the process of creating it has been so beneficial to my own business, allowing me to prioritise and create a clearer vision of our growth. I know firsthand that it works. It’s why I also know it can do the same for you if you commit to the process – one hour a week for six weeks followed by 30 days to implement as much change as you decide you need.

Our goal is to help you reach your business potential sooner. This can be your first step. What have you got to lose?
