At Beyond Common, we're focused on helping you gain clarity and focus in your business and professional life, and one way to achieve that is to make sure you're not wasting time and energy on initiatives that don't produce results.  

Many of us are creatures of habit, and once habits are formed, they can become mundane or just something you do without knowing why, and since the beginning of the Pandemic, many new habits have become routine, including frequent Zoom calls and responding to emails and inquiries long past normal business hours.

5 Lessons Learned: Keys to Success Every Business Owner Needs To Know and some great resources and tools to use.

 Let's dive deep into the five lessons learned keys to success that every business owner needs to know.

I spent a lot of time journaling and doing reflection this past year, it's something I do all the time, but this past year it brought me so much joy and it was such a good stress relief.

One thing is for sure, we plan and God laughs.  But I still feel that planning is still such a good thing.  I'm so grateful that I did set goals. And I do plan because I know by having goals I was able to set things up in my life that really almost prepared me for this on unforeseen circumstances that we faced.

So I go back to the thing of we plan God laughs. It's funny to me because even if you plan and organize everything you never actually have control. 

I think it's really important that we understand that goal setting is just our wish list that has specific measurements attached to a date.

The January 2021 issue of Beachwood Buzz Magazine featured Tracey Watts Cirino’s success as an entrepreneur, writer, author, motivational speaker, and interviewed Tracey about the publication of her first book, Beyond Common: 12 Essentials for Success in Life and in the Workplace.  Tracey owned and operated Lavish Color Salon for more than 13 years, and is now a full-time business coach, trainer and hosts a weekly Podcast, called Beyond Common Business Secrets, which focuses on sharing fact-based information that entrepreneurs and small business owners can implement in their businesses.

When you’re with someone, are you genuinely interested in what they have to say?  When someone is speaking, are you really hearing what they are conveying, or are you thinking about what YOU are going to say next?  And, perhaps more importantly, if you are not carefully listening to someone, how can you truly help them or satisfy their needs?

The art of listening – and of truly being present in the moment – is a major theme in my recent book, Beyond Common: 12 Essentials for Success in Life and in the Workplace.  I felt that so many people didn’t understand that it’s a lifelong journey to listen, to be present, and to be a part of the conversation in a way that helps as many people as possible. 

Training your team will help you get more clients and stand out from your competition.   If you have a team and a culture that supports training and everything that training is about, they share it with the customers you serve.

That is a great tool to walk you through how to set up what training you need and it is going to guide you in a  really exciting way just for you.

People often reach out and direct message me all the time on social media and they'll always say, OK, I have a really small budget and I don't know what to do to start training myself or my team. I say to them, the best resource I have is my book Beyond Common,12 Essentials for Success in Life and in the Workplace. This is a really low cost way and it's a very easy read. You could buy a copy for everyone on your team and get the whole team excited about personal and professional development. 

I love helping business owners get clarity and focus in their life and  business by using their strengths, to achieve beyond common results.

Today, we're going to share the best secrets to investing in yourself and what the most successful business owners and leaders do to get and maintain their competitive edge. The  topic of what's that next big thing for business owners is essential to your success.

BEYOND COMMON BUSINESS SECRETS WITH TRACEY WATTS CIRINO ENTERS 2021 WITH SEVERAL EXCITING SHO...

Mindy Kaling was amazing, as usual. She explained  how having confidence has been something that she always had because she always put the work in. That was an interesting take from a Hollywood person that has accomplished so much and learned so much. I appreciated that because no matter what success someone has achieved there is usually a lot of hard work put in somewhere and that is not always what we see on our Instagram highlight reels. So I found that really refreshing to hear from such a major Hollywood Star!
