When you feel like you are spinning your wheels in business, you can fix it — here's how...

Many times throughout our business journey, we lose clarity in the direction of our businesses.  In this weeks post, I'm going to break down the symptoms of a struggling business - highlighting what the real problems are, and how to fix them!

Symptom #1 – Not Making Any/Enough Money

This is the most common, most frustrating symptom of them all, and one that can be crippling emotionally and mentally, so let's nip it in the bud first!

Calling money into your business comes down to three things –

1. Resolve your ability to receive money.  (Ask, Believe, Receive)
2. Clarify the offers that call in your dream clients and/or create irresistible products that attract returning customers.
3. Create consistency in your business strategy.

Re-write your money story. Any negativity around receiving money does not serve you anymore, so it's time to flip it.  I've just learnt...

My suggestion... start this year very different to every other year; especially if you feel busy or overwhelmed already.

It can be easy just to pick up where you left off in 2020 and get buried in daily tasks, overthinking or worse overwhelm stagnation.  So this post is a gentle reminder to take the time you need to arm yourself for the year ahead.

This means stepping away from working ‘in’ your business and devoting even a small amount of time to working ‘on’ it.

You probably heard many times in 2020 that “we’re all in the same boat” well I’m here to say we’re not all in the same boat.  We’re all in the same body of water but some of us are in ships, some are in yachts, some are in canoes, some are holding onto other people’s boats (the employees) and some are treading water and just staying afloat.  [Thanks goes out to mindset mentor Susanne Evans for this analogy].

We are all in the same body of...

Welcome to the December edition of B.G.I. (Business Growth Insights)

Today is officially the start of winter here in the UK and the countdown to the holidays begins!!

I absolutely love Christmas and I already have my festive cheer on – yes the Michael Bublé Christmas album plays loud and proud on Alexa, the decorations are ready to be hung and I’ve managed to add more lights to my ever growing collection

Let’s face it after the year we have just experienced, it’s the perfect time to wind down.

Even though entrepreneurship is important, inspiring and exciting, we need to step away from it sometimes to relax, reflect and refocus. And what better time to do that than the over the Christmas break.

So if you haven’t already, block some time out in your diary to make the most of the holidays…

• Spend time with family
• Relax with a good book
• Visit family and friends
• Cook, garden or go for a walk
• Start a regular gratitude ritual
• Start a manifesting...

Here we are at THAT time of year.

The time when those who have already created a plan for 2021 are sitting pretty, safe in the knowledge that they have it all mapped out.

And then there’s the rest, who don’t. Who might be a little overwhelmed by all this talk of planning, setting goals, smashing 2021 and so on – especially if 2020 hasn’t lived up to expectations.

But with the end of year approaching, there are no more excuses. It’s time to get down to business and start that all important planning for 2021.

Which is why I’m going to share with you the exact system I use to plan my year - both personally and professionally in four steps.

Step 1: Plan Your Personal Life First

Entrepreneurship is important, inspiring and exciting, however it’s also important to step away from it sometimes and enjoy life along the way. As the saying goes, ‘work is what you do, it’s not who you are’.
