Over the past few years, I have been getting better all the time at organizing my computer files, and this year I have decided to stay a lot more organized week to week with all of my marketing photos and graphics.

Running a modern business in 2021 requires a lot of content and it demands Beyond common organizational skills.

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.

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.

“Diamonds are formed under pressure,” Tracey explains, describing some of her early career setbacks as better than a “Harvard MBA.”  She also shared another important lesson – “Numbers don’t lie, but people do.”  The beauty industry is filled with creative and thoughtful individuals, but many don’t devote enough time on the financial aspects of the operation as an actual business.  

Tracey’s training systems provide important tools for businesses to focus on critical tasks that must be completed by team members.  “You just can’t assume people know the basics,” Tracey explains, “so we have learned to always focus first on this is what we do here.” “Sense is not common and there is no need to pretend that it is.”

If you're going to come out of this stronger than the way we went into this whole pandemic situation, then we want to create space for your personal wellness and  create business systems that keep you thriving so that we can scale our businesses.
