Profit First drives Growth and Success

Many business owners devote endless effort to make customers happy and give of themselves to build a winning team of employees. Often, in our ambitious quest for growth and prosperity, we pay vendors and employees first, and then take some of whatever dollars that remain for ourselves. This approach is a recipe for financial disaster, especially as many business owners fall short of building the necessary savings for their long term future.

 Have you ever been so worried about what you should do that you can't finish what you need to do?  Or have you ever heard things like "I wish I didn't have to go to work today!"  or "God, this day is dragging!"  or "That customer was a pain in the neck!" or "I never do anything fun" or "My job sucks the life out of me!" If you've ever had any of those thoughts -- or heard them from your colleagues -- they may be a bigger problem than you realize!

How to Stop Lying to yourself!

·
Written by Tracey Watts Cirino

Ever wake up after getting plenty of sleep and yet you feel exhausted?  After feeling this way, you realize that something has to radically change, but you aren't sure exactly what.

The first thing to do is be very strong and courageous and not lie to yourself.

  • Ask yourself what is working?
  • What is not working?
  • Is there a gap between where I want to be and where I currently am in my business?

If you need to go outside of your inner circle for that, then that's when you need to do to get a really honest answer and not lie to yourself. You can hire a coach or get an accountability partner outside of your friend circle. We are just not designed  to point those things out to ourselves, that is why they are called "blind spots." We all have them in both our personal and professional business life.

Trust me if you already knew how to do it, you would have done it.

One of the biggest mistakes that people make when they’re planning and goal setting is not to take the time to learn from their mistakes. It takes a lot of courage, it takes tremendous heart. It takes you not bullshitting yourself. It takes you not lying to yourself and having the courage to dig deep enough to realize, you know what, this is my fault and I own it!

Sometimes it's just a good thing to have that accountability person. You can take that accountability person situation a step further and hire a coach.
