How To Conquer Business Failure and Flourish in Hard Times
A growth mindset is a fundamental requirement for success. When facing challenges in your business it can be the difference between success and failure. A growth mindset allows you to see what’s possible instead of being stuck in the fear of failure.
Learning from other successful business leaders allows us to gain an insight to how we can fail forward in business. There are many great examples and Richard Branson and Elon Musk are the first to come to mind. Both are hugely successful and both have experienced many failures in order to be successful.
Everyday we should be learning from these masters, as well as the many businesses that surround us, including our own.
Have you ever failed? If so, how often? What have you learnt? Have you taken those lessons and used them to move forward in your business?
The best place to start is with you!
There are several key strategies I use with my clients to help them reflect so they can conquer failure and flourish. What separates the victors from the victims are the five decisions every business owner needs to make.
These five decisions include;
1. Growth Mindset
Stop denying yourself success. According to Prof Dweck, your “… most basic abilities and skills can be developed through dedication and hardwork – brains and talent are just the starting point.” This means that Individuals who believe their talents can be developed (through hard work, good strategies, and input from others) have a growth mindset. You need to practice growth mindset thinking in order to get the very best out of yourself and others.
2. People
All leaders need great people to flourish – customers, investors, partners, advisors, suppliers, talent and above all their home network. These relationships are critical.
When you fail to deal with the relationship issues in your business and life, they will drain you and leave you with very little to expend on strategy, execution and cash.
3. Strategy
Articulating a clear and differentiated strategy is critical in good times and when navigating a storm. When it’s supported by a strong culture that delivers on the brand’s promise then you can scale with confidence.
Strategic thinking is the thinking before the plan! It takes disciplined people, with disciplined thought. When was the last time you took dedicated time out to work on your strategy?
4. Execution
Most people start with execution and most fail here too. The key to execution is taking action on your strategy and following a proven system to get results. When all your processes are running without drama and driving profitability then you know your entire organisation is executing.
Jim Collins in Great by Choice states, “Greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness, it turns out, is largely of conscious choice, and discipline.”
5. Cash
You must know your numbers and you don’t need to be a numbers person to understand them.
There are three financial statements you must learn;
- Balance Sheet
- Profit and Loss
- Cash Flow
Cash is king, although Gary Vee says content is king, I think both are equally king. However cash is oxygen that fuels your business growth.
For a business to flourish you need consistent sources of cash, generated internally to fuel the growth of your business.
How you think about cash and how you understand your numbers will determine your success.
If you take action on these 5 areas and your growth mindset, you will flourish in hard times.
Are you ready?

How Can Outsourcing Help Us In Our Business?
Outsourcing is a great way for companies to cut costs and increase profits. Outsourcing allows you to focus on what you do best, while leaving other tasks to professionals who are experts in those fields.
Outsourcing can be done on an as needed basis or an ongoing basis, depending on the needs of your business. If you only need help with a specific project that requires specialised skills, outsourcing can be an effective solution. If you want to outsource more than just one project, then you may want to consider hiring someone full-time so that they can become familiar with your company’s needs and culture.
Business owners all over the world are jumping on the outsourcing bandwagon and some have great stories to tell, others not so good 😳, but outsourcing can be a blessing IF you know what you’re doing!
How to work with your Virtual Assistant
You need to have the right mindset around outsourcing to set you and your virtual assistant up for success.
Here are some tips we’ve found that work for us:
- Don’t expect to find an instant star
- Expect it to take 3-6 months before you see big benefits
- Expect to spend 1-2 hours a day for the first week or two to set your virtual assistant up for success
- Spend time learning about your virtual assistant’s life
- Don’t expect your virtual assistant to do the strategic thinking – that’s your job!
- Don’t overload your virtual assistant with too many tasks at once, ease them into it
- Communicate expectations and priorities
- Be aware that your first hiring may not be the perfect fit and that’s ok… Just keep going
- Hire for attitude, not necessarily for skill
Outsourcing the mundane tasks allows businesses to thrive and scale, as business owners free up time to work on their business instead of in their business. It also helps high level managers concentrate on high level tasks. There are just so many reasons why this is an important thing to do, no matter if you are running a business, big or small.
And especially now, with the labour and skills shortages we have in Australia, outsourcing has never been more important.
Virtual Assistant Tasks
Email management
Email is one of the most important tools used in business today. When you have employees, it’s even more important to keep track of your email accounts. However, if you are a one-man show or have a small team, it can be difficult to keep track of all of the emails that come in and out of your inboxes.
One way to solve this problem is to hire a virtual assistant who can help manage your email accounts on a daily basis.
Customer support
Virtual assistants can take on many customer-facing roles, including answering phone calls and emails. They can also manage social media accounts and schedule meetings.
Diary management
Get a virtual assistant (VA) to help you manage your diary. VAs can do all kinds of things for you, from managing social media accounts to answering emails, but when it comes down to it, their main job is helping you schedule your time better so that you have more free time.
They’ll book appointments for you, check your schedule against theirs and make sure that nothing clashes. They’ll also update calendars with important events or deadlines and remind you when they’re coming up so that you don’t miss anything important.
Social media management
Social media is a great way to promote your business, but it can be time consuming to manage on your own.
If you have a social media expert on your team, they will be able to handle everything for you.
However, if you don’t have the budget for a dedicated social media manager or you simply want to take things off your plate, consider hiring a virtual assistant (VA) who can assist with social media management.
Here are some things that VAs can do to help with your social media management:
Post content:
Posting content on your business’s various accounts can be time consuming and difficult for some people. A VA could post high-quality content regularly for each account.
Schedule posts:
Scheduling posts ahead of time allows you to share content at optimal times and reach more people without having to manually post every day or week. VAs could also schedule images so that they’re ready to go before posting them on different networks.
Respond to comments and messages:
Administrative tasks
Your virtual assistant can help you with administrative tasks. They can take care of your emails, making sure that they are sent to the right person and that they are answered in a timely manner. They can also manage your calendar and schedule meetings on your behalf. This will free up valuable time for you to do more important things.
Data entry
This task is one of the most important tasks that you can delegate to your virtual assistant. So, how do you choose the right person for this job?
Data entry can be a tedious process, but it’s also an important one. You need someone who not only knows what they’re doing, but also has a good eye for detail and accuracy.
Personal needs (Flight booking, present buying…)
Your personal assistant is your go to for all your personal needs. If you are a busy person and need a helping hand in your personal life, then you can hire a virtual assistant to free up some time. This will allow you to spend more time with family and friends, which is great for your emotional health.
Research
Virtual assistants can be great for research, especially if you’re a small business or entrepreneur. They can help you find valuable information that would otherwise be a hassle to locate on your own.
Basic bookkeeping
Basic bookkeeping is a task that requires a high level of accuracy, attention to detail and careful record-keeping. You can outsource this task to a virtual assistant who will take care of the following:
- Bank account reconciliations
- Cash flow analysis
- Financial reporting
- Preparing invoices and sending them out
- Preparing payroll (including tax calculations)
Anything that you’ve systemised!
If you have a big project that needs to be done, but it isn’t something you can do in the next few days, then break it down into smaller tasks. Anything that you’ve systemised you can assign to your virtual assistant.
Why hire a virtual assistant?
Virtual assistants can help you increase your productivity and do the things you just don’t have time to do. When a task is systematised virtually anyone can do it! Using a virtual assistant is a smart way to save you money as wages are generally significantly lower than Australian wages and this allows you to divert money into other avenues.
Now… How do you go about hiring a virtual assistant to help you increase your productivity and save you money?
Firstly, you need to take a look at all the tasks you or your team do every day that can be delegated. These repetitive tasks need to be systematised and set up as a SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) that anyone can follow.
When you have 15-20 tasks systemised that’s when you can start to look at outsourcing. Look at the type of tasks you require to be done. Are they generalised tasks or are they specialised tasks? Administrative tasks will generally require a “general” virtual assistant, whereas something like editing podcasts/media or bookkeeping will require a specialised virtual assistant. Once you’ve decided what type of virtual assistant you require, the fun part starts!
We always write a job description of the type of person we require from our outsourcing company that is centred around our company values and attitudes we have set. We then contact the outsourcing company, Growth Outsourced to find 2-3 people who fit our job description. We then interview those people virtually and make a decision.
Here’s some quick tips on how to increase your virtual assistant’s performance and set them (and you) up for success:
- Have good systems in place
- Have a good onboarding process
- Use task management software (we use ClickUp)
- Spend time with your virtual assistant and learn about them as a person
- Use daily/weekly meetings to stay on track
- Use a reward & recognition system
- Do performance reviews and offer constructive feedback
- Provide an annual pay rise
- Have fun
Lastly, if you’re unsure about whether outsourcing tasks in your business is right for you, then complete our Task Review sheet, then have a chat with us here at Business Growth Mindset and we can discuss how it’s benefited our business and helped us scale.

7 Growth Mindset Principles for Businesses
Today I am going to share with you the 7 Growth Mindset Principles for Businesses
Everyone has the ability to grow because everyone starts somewhere. Abraham Maslow said, “One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.”
Oprah Winfrey said, “We can’t become what we need to be, by remaining what we are.”
It’s important to recognise that growth is not purely measured by sales. In fact, from a monetary measure, it’s about profit rather than sales. It begins with you and your people, and it’s measured by their wellbeing and happiness.
Happy people generate hyper-growth. Happy customers mean loyal customers. And they are the key in attracting more customers who will pay you well for your products and services.
However, to achieve this you often face the treacherous path of disruption and change, and we all know that for many people these two words cause a significant amount of anxiety. This anxiety and discomfort caused by disruption and change can lead to a crisis and in many cases can result in failure rather than growth. I am here to tell you that this can be avoided and the 7 Growth Mindset Principles for Businesses that I will share with you today will absolutely assist you.
Hyper-growth sounds fun and for the most part, business owners and executives are continuously in search of the magic pill that will create a constant and significant rise in sales. When we sell more, we feel accomplished, but often this leads to burn out, stress, lack of control and exhaustion. These outcomes of hyper-growth lead to a drop in your morale, operational dysfunctionality, and pain points for customers that can see many negative outcomes for your business or firm.
The human pain points, such as exhaustion and burnout are significant considerations for business owners and executives. These are often overlooked because of the need to generate sales and growth. This will lead to a lone wolf approach where people begin to isolate themselves from their team, family and friends. For many business owners and executives, this can lead to depression and business or career failure.
The primary casualty of hyper-growth gone bad is a human one and often starts with key people. To avoid the pitfalls of hyper-growth you need to make sure that you and your team are mentally prepared, and this comes in the form of developing and practising growth mindset principles.
As Professor Dweck states in her research on growth mindsets, “We need to be mindful of the misconception of equating the growth mindset with effort.” Effort is certainly a primary factor in achievement, however, we need to learn new ways and strategies, as well as “seek inputs from others when we are stuck”.
She goes further to state, “Effort is a means to an end to the goals of learning and improvement.” This means that from time to time we will face adversity, disruption and change. It’s how we learn and improve that assists us with growth both personally and financially.
One of my favourite quotes from Professor Dweck is, “That the path to a growth mindset is a journey, not a proclamation.” This is fundamentally critical when you practice the principles I will share with you today.
Growth rarely happens overnight and it most certainly isn’t lineal like many think. Success is in fact a messy scribble and bound with failure experiences that force learning and improvement. Having the right mindset, a growth mindset will help you grow and flourish throughout your journey.
Adopting a growth mindset is not an easy task because we all have fixed mindsets. However, the following 7 growth mindset principles will help you supercharge your growth and wellbeing for you and your business.
Welcome the Chaos
As Bob Dylan famously sang, “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.”
Welcoming the chaos can help you with creativity and the ability to adapt to change. Crisis spawn’s innovation, effectiveness and success. Distribution is innovation, so come to terms with chaos and embrace reality. As a result, you can sacrifice efficiency for speed and lower the resistance to change as well as minimise the impact of disruption.
Hire Doers
Hire someone who is an action taker. Don’t waste your time hiring the next big thing. You need people that can get you from A to B, then B to C, not A to Z. These are different kinds of people and you will need them at different intervals of your journey.
I seek out mentors and advisors for each stage of my journey both professionally and personally. I recently hired two wellbeing coaches working together to help me form new thought processes about my health and wellbeing and the other to help me clear my energy and unbound the things that have held me back in the past. Because they are action takers, and I am a total doer, the results have surpassed all expectations we set on day one.
Hiring doers is a mindset formed from many steps and processes that you must act upon, having this mindset during all your recruitment stages will help develop a hyper-growth team.
Embrace a Lack of Management
There is no substitute for speed. And with that will come poor management from time to time, so it’s imperative that the team understand it’s not personal but a requirement to act quickly.
Rapid growth does not form many friendships, in fact, it breaks even the best. Set the tone and the rules at the start. This doesn’t mean to hate people or do the wrong thing; it means establishing a culture of action takers driven by purpose and outcomes.
To combat the risk, develop a culture of empowerment as this will accelerate learning and improvement because of accountability. People who are empowered perform much better than those that are oppressed or fear failure.
Get Your Product to Market FAST
Don’t worry about perfection. The market will dictate changes and navigate your innovation. Testing your products and services market fit is critical, this won’t happen in your head or in a workshop. Get it to market and let the market tell you what it needs and why.
So many people and organisations failed to understand this fourth principle. Fear of failure causes paralysis making products, and services take too long to be deployed in the market which burdens the company and impacts profit.
Break the fixed mindset cycle that speed is your enemy and work yourself towards freedom and adventure.
Laser Focus
Business owners and executives get distracted by new shiny objects or unforeseen challenges. Not every new idea is worth pursuing and not every fire needs putting out.
Don’t overthink it. Sometimes things need to burn so you can get on with it and not lose focus on your destination. Too often I see entrepreneurs worrying about little things and spending too much time trying to appease everyone.
The most successful entrepreneurs, business owners and executives I have worked with are those that get on with achieving their goals. They are purpose-driven and have laser focus.
Hack Away
What I mean is find the fastest way to get from 0 to hero. This is for everything you do!!!
What’s important to realise is that getting shit done fast is critical to your business and progress is better than perfection.
Perfection is a detrimental mindset to establish. Developing a growth hacking mindset is powerful and I recommend the ‘high tempo testing’ concept coined by Sean Ellis.
That is; learn from insight, create a hypothesis, test, measure and go again.
You will be amazed when you develop this mindset. You will solve problems by creating problems and you will grow from cutting corners, improving and learning along the way.
J.K. Rowling famously said, “It is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.”
Solve a Massive Market Problem
In whatever you are doing, remember that the key to success and impact is to solve a massive problem. You solve these problems by breaking them down into manageable and actionable tasks.
When trying to solve big problems in established businesses, don’t gravitate to bold moves but rather seek out small wins.
Once you know you are solving a big problem, don’t get caught up in customer service because the customers will sort themselves out in the early stages. It’s a learn and test experiment.
This does not mean abandoning your customers but rather offering the most basic support necessary to facilitate such service.
For example; once a tech start-up has validated their product and they are ready to deploy on the scale they may offer email support with a 48-hour response time.
For an established business that is navigating disruption, perhaps caused by a pandemic, it’s critical to recognise that when leading change, less is more.
These 7 Growth Mindset Principles for Businesses will help you develop success in more ways than you could imagine. It will help your self-confidence. It will improve your social proof and increase your knowledge base. These factors will help you empower others and get them into action. More importantly, you will become more fulfilled because when you are taking action every day on things that matter – you will immediately feel accomplished.
This is your chance to start, refine and grow! Despite the challenges and disruption caused by COVID we are blessed with an abundance of opportunities and by developing a growth mindset, those opportunities will become more apparent and you will give yourself the best opportunity to grow and flourish.
I really loved hanging out with you today and sharing my tips that will help develop a growth mindset. I hope you will implement these tips that I have shared with you today, and put them into practice immediately. Don’t wait!!
Purpose has become a cornerstone in my teaching and advising business owners and executives.
Knowing the habits and principles of success will allow you to move forward with courage and action.
Building courage is a key instrument in accelerating my client’s growth and deepening their impact both professionally and personally. I want this for you. This is why I share my knowledge and experience with you through various media.

“How to Strategise” for People Who Don’t Think They Can!
So many people think that strategy is difficult and reserved for the “Ivy League” graduates and top strategic thinkers at McKinsey and Company or Boston Consulting Group.
The truth Is, strategy isn’t difficult. It’s not a purely scientific exercise and nor is it complicated.
Strategy is simply the basic methodology you will apply to achieve your company’s mission.
It’s not a mystery and it’s not a difficult concept to apply.
Business, like life, cannot be planned entirely. There are many uncertainties and opportunities that present themselves unannounced. So, there is little point creating a thick, ridged plan that outlines every step and takes a team of experts and stakeholders six months to create.
In traditional strategy development there are six steps.
They are;
- Assess
- Analyse
- Evaluate
- Define
- Formulate
- Execute
These steps will serve you well, however there is a smarter, simpler, more powerful way to create good strategy.
The key to good strategy is to have a simple, thoughtful and uncomplicated approach for attaining your mission. It’s imperative to leave room for individual initiative, market conditions, experimentation, change in landscape, opportunities and innovation.
When setting strategy with clients, I follow Jim Collins four basic principles;
- The strategy must descend directly from your vision. Vision first then strategy.
- The strategy must leverage off the strengths and unique capabilities of your organisation. Do what you’re good at.
- The strategy must be realistic. It must consider internal constraints and external factors.
- Strategy should be set with the participation of those who are going to be on the line to make it happen. Buy in and action takers.
What’s important to note is that without the CORE you will be rudderless in creating your strategy. The CORE is made of up purpose, aka vision, values and competencies. These are the guiding principles your organisation is formed upon, it’s the foundation that affects your journey.
Once you have your CORE, you need to think first WHO then WHAT? Making sure you have the right team onboard is critical to how your strategy unfolds.
The essence of strategy comes done to having insightful and analytically validated answers to three essential questions;
- Where to place the big bets?
- How to protect the flanks?
- How to extend Victories?
We find that breaking the strategic decisions down into key business areas helps and the five areas we consider are;
- People
- Infrastructure
- Customers
- Products
- Cash
Before you embark on the learning from today’s blog, REMEMBER:
“Think vision first, then strategy and then tactics.”
In 2022 we have limited availability to help transform new clients. Our CORE workshop helps you uncover your purpose/vision, mission, values and competencies. If your company is unclear or uncertain about your CORE, then get in touch with my team and see if we are the right fit. I love running these workshops with clients, they inspire me and helps me to know what matters the most so they can build a wonderful team that achieves a common goal.
If you already have a clear vision and well-established CORE, then get in touch with my team to see if we can support you in developing a great strategy that aligns with your CORE and answers all the tough questions, supporting you to achieve your BHAG.
As always, live with purpose.
V5.3 Life Hacks for Living a Limitless Life
Many business owners and CEO’s often ask me: How is it that I have so much energy!
So, today I will share with you a few life hacks I have learnt for living a limitless life.
Technology makes our lives easier, there is absolutely no doubt about that! However, it does hinder our learning abilities and this can have catastrophic consequences to our brain.
Each of us has the power to change our brain. It’s common knowledge that you can free your mind of negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones in just a few steps! If you didn’t know this, now you do.
Despite this many people choose to live in a low energy state, and one of self-doubt and frustration. They constantly complain that they can’t get out of the rat race or the hamster wheel and that they are stuck and going nowhere.
The truth is they are going somewhere, just not in the direction they want. It comes down to the decisions they make. Remember you have choices, the choice to act or the choice to do nothing!
Here are my top tips:
- To live a limitless life you need to start by motivating yourself, to change your behaviour by defining yourself and your purpose.
- You must support your brain by getting enough sleep, eating the right foods and you have to move – a 10 minute burst of movement three times a day does wonders for staying in a peak state.
- Preparation and repetition is progress. Increase your productivity by getting into a state of flow and use the power of small steps to accomplish more.
- How many of you don’t have study time? Yes, I mean a dedicated time each day to keep your brain engaged. I commit one hour a day to dedicated study time. I focus on reading as this is fundamental to learning and it’s something that I have struggled with in the past due to my dyslexia and ADHD. Reading has helped me overcome these learning disabilities and increased my focus.
- Visualisation techniques are known to help increase memory and concentration, so get started! Again, this is about practice and repetition and it will help you stay in a peak state longer.
- Try new and different ways of thinking, as solving problems is essential for living a limitless life. One such technique is the “thinking hat” activity This is where you imagine you have a collection of multi-coloured hats. Now when you look at a problem you change hats every few minutes. Each colour represents a way to view the situation. For example, red is for emotional and green is creativity.
Apply these tips and watch your energy and brain flourish. Master these, along with deep medication and breathing techniques, and you will experience a peak state more often that will lead to a limitless life.
If you lead a business and are struggling with energy and vitality, lack clarity and direction, book a meet and greet with Zoom! Let’s see how I can help you regain that vitality and energy and get you really clear about your direction and actions.
I look forward to hearing from you and until then live with purpose.
How to thrive through chaos
Today I want to share with you how to thrive through chaos. The tagline for the last couple of years must be “Uncertain times” doesn’t it? Sensational news headlines pit one side against the other and punctuate daily conversations with friends, colleagues, and family members. Social media makes you wonder, “is this true or false?” and distrust grows as a result of the extra noise. Sound familiar? But YOU don’t have to live in a state of distrust. You don’t have to live in a state of fear during times of uncertainty.
You always have the power to choose faith over fear.
So what would happen if you decided to push fear aside to take control of your emotions and create meaningful change?
•It’s time to take action and make fear work for you.
•It’s time to stop being afraid of what could go wrong – and get excited about what could go right.
•It’s time to stop wondering who to trust – and trust yourself. You can’t control the external forces that impact your life, but you can control how you react to them. You can make a world that seems out of control work for you by stepping into uncertainty with a new perspective.
When you discover how to take charge, you decide your path…
So what path will you choose? The path of fear and uncertainty? Or one of faith and absolute certainty that you can create the life you desire, no matter what? Starting today, make the decision to take back control of your emotions. Face the fear, embrace the uncertainty, and start living in a peak state. The truth is, there is no reason not to. And we cannot transcend the boundaries that we ourselves impose. But by taking back your power, you will be able to create more change, make more of a difference, and have more of an impact on others and on the world than ever before. If you are stuck, uncertain and unable to do this on your time then it’s time to hang out with me and let me help you take control of your state, live in a peak state, embrace disruption, change and uncertainty and thrive through the chaos you face.
Ten Ways To Achieve Your Goals
Hi I’m Kristian Livolsi and welcome to my business growth mindset blog!
Today I want to share with 10 effective ways to achieve your goals.
It’s important to recognise that less than 20% of business owners write down goals.
Yes, less than 20%. It’s no surprise then that 80% of businesses fail within the first 5 years.
So it’s really important that you understand 2 things:
– Where focus goes, energy flows
You must have an obsessive focus if you want to succeed
– Momentum is what keeps us moving
However, It’s our routine that sustains our momentum
Now when you understand and accept that focus and routine are critical, you will then fully appreciate how these 10 ways will help you achieve your goals
So here are the 10 ways that will help you achieve your goals.
- Understand your purpose
- Be 100 clear and certain about what it is that you want to achieve
- Set Smart goals
- Establish good habits that supports your goals
- Turn expectation into appreciation, and turn achievement into fulfillment
- Make decisions that support your goal
- Get the right amount of sleep
- Rise before 5 am and get things done
- Plan each day before you execute
- Meditate and set your intentions each and every morning
Now remember, that failure to plan will result in failure to action.
Having an obsessive focus will create energy, and energy will create massive momentum and by having a kick-ass routine you will take massive action every single day.
For most CEO’s and business owners that I met, they’re struggling to do this on their own.
And that’s where I come in, I helped them do it faster, quicker, better showing them the shortcuts, teaching them strategies and the modeling that works. This helped them to achieve more.
I helped them stay focus, I drive them and I inspired them to take daily action. And this achieves massive action.
What I am doing to help
I, Kristian Livolsi, is serving my clients beyond achievement and ensure that they live an outstanding life.
You can only live your outstanding life when you raise your standards and step up.
If this is you and you want me to help you live your outstanding life then please book a call with me and let’s see if I can help you define your goals, get super clear and take action each day.

I will look forward to talking to you and until then live with purpose.
Achievement and Fulfilment
I spend an unbelievable amount of time helping people gain achievement. I help them do it faster, quicker, better, showing them the shortcuts, teaching them the strategies and modelling what works, this helps them save years.
But where I really help my clients is in the area of fulfillment, because this is an area that most people are not good at and what is an achievement without fulfillment. Why do we have so much anxiety, stress, exhaustion, depression and burnout?
Because we have forgotten to appreciate our achievement, instead we continuously set expectations that overtime becomes unsustainable.
You see they are miserable despite the money and the achievement because they are lonely, disconnected and stuck. They yearn for energy and vitality, inspiration and deep connection.
So, I meet their business needs and I also give them the courage to change what’s inside of them and help them turn expectations into appreciation and this is very powerful.
Until next time live with purpose.
5 Steps to Thriving
Today I am going to share with you 5 simple steps that will help you thrive in any area of your life.
Have you ever felt defeat, unaccomplished or stuck! You have tried to overcome the challenges and problems that you face yet everything you try doesn’t seem to work.
It’s ok I get this, I have experienced this and so too have all my clients at some stage in their life, and it’s ok. The issue is not you or the circumstances you are in, in fact, it’s much simpler, it’s a combination of your mindset and the decisions you make that cause you to fail, give up, and not achieve.
From my experience serving hundreds of business owners, CEOs and entrepreneurs I have witnessed the broken system and complacency that leads to failure.
But there is a way to solve these issues and I have five simple steps that will help you.
1.Tipping Point
To create a change in your life, that is to make things the way you want them, you must experience a tipping point. This only happens when you make a compelling decision to change!
2.Practice
This is about doing something over and over again until you have fully master it.
3.Application
You must adopt your practice in your everyday life. This means taking action in your daily life.
4.Assimilation
By fully understanding and integrating your practice in your daily routine, it becomes natural, its forms who you are, your very fabric.
5.Strengthening
You must use it or you will lose it. The only way to dominate is to continually use your new practice.
Following these five steps and taking action each and every day will lead to unconscious competence and help you to thrive in all areas of your life.
Until next time live with purpose.
