Knowledge Is Power

Hi, Helen Here. 

Although it may seem like anyone can be an expert on the Internet these days, knowledge is still a key advantage for small to medium sized business. Yes, it is true that if you do a quick google search about any topic you will be bombarded with never ending information. But do not be fooled, there is a big difference between knowledge and information.

Sir Francis Bacon was the first person attributed to the phrase "Knowledge is Power'. I am sure that you have all heard it in at some stage in your life, but do you fully understand it?

Knowledge = options = power

When we are business educated, we learn new things that we were previously unaware of. This gives us the ability to make better business decisions, come up with more evolved and intelligent business ideas and thoughts, thus making our business more successful overall.

This then leads to into more opportunities for you and your business. This high level of options in your business life gives you the freedom to choose from many different pathways, and that freedom is power. That freedom allows you to have the power to choose your businesses pathway forward, it allows you to have the knowledge to overcome obstacles.

If you read a book written by genius in rocket-science, you will absorb something. The same goes for if you have a business coach, you will absorb business ideas.

We are all looking for a business edge these days, usually an edge over your competitors. How do you think you are going to get your winning edge?

Knowledge brings confidence, and confidence leads to success and there is no better way to build your confidence than understanding key business drivers.

Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance

Hi, Helen Here.  “Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance” is known as the magic 5 P’s of success. So, let’s break it down.  Prior: Being able to plan to execute a task before it is needed to be done. Tip 1 : Know yourself, don’t set your expectations to high. If you need to meet a deadline, schedule when you are going to do it when it best suits you. Don’t plan it when you know you won’t be able to execute this. Tip 2 : Make sure that you have your resources ready in the “prior” stage, this way you can get started straight on the task and not spending valuable time searching for the resources you need.

Inhale Confidence - Exhale Doubt

Hi, Helen Here!  I have read a lot of books on how to build a successful business. I have read an extensive range of “how to” books for a range of different entrepreneurs. Believe it or not, every book I have read has at least had one chapter about confidence and how it is the key to success. Confidence plays a major role in everyone’s lives, it is said that people with high levels of confidence expect and experience greater success. How we think and feel about ourselves has an enormous impact on how we perform in our business. But you must be asking yourself, why is confidence the key to success for my business? Well, I like to say that confidence is defined as how strongly you believe in your capabilities to learn new skills, perform at a certain level, attain a goal or achieve your own definition of success. It is no secret that confidence is the most important psychological contributor to performance in the business world because you may have all of the ability in t
