If Your Profitability Aim Is Nothing, You Will Reach It Every Time

Hi, Helen Here! 

 In all my years of coaching and mentoring small to medium business owners and their teams I always tell them to set goals. Usually they will make goals about the obvious things; customers, competition marketing etc. But what ceases to amaze me is that they forget the most important and obvious goal; profit.

 I know that every business hopes that they will make a profit, few make it a measure of success though. Many times, small business owners look at what they pay themselves as profit, but what you pay yourself if what you get paid for doing a job. Profit is what you gain from the investment of your time and talent. 

 Without profit what you have really done is just created a really hard job for yourself. The problem is you see, many business owners become fixated on growth but what they don’t understand is that without profit, it is simply more work. 

 Profit is measured of the return of your interest, set goals for profit leave and make decisions based on growing profit. Profit is how you build something you can sell and let’s face it, no one else would be crazy enough to enough to have your job without the profit. 

 You must start to make a profit, over above your fair market wage for the immediate and long term future of your business. 

 Our recommendation is that you either be a part of our Financial Benchmarking program or be a part of our Bean Counter workshops. 

 If you would like more information on any of our programs, or
would like to chat with an expert to see what is right for you give us a call now.

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
