7 Keys To A Quality Life

 

As a business coach, I always try to stress that your business should not be your end-all. It should be the vehicle to help you get what you really want out of life.

Your life shouldn’t be your business. Your business should get you more out of life.

Here are what I believe to be are the 7 keys to improving ourselves and achieving the quality of life we want and deserve.

1. Quality of Results – To increase our quality of life we need to get better results. That’s easier said than done. How do we increase the quality of our results?

2. Quality of Actions – By increasing the quality of our actions we will improve the quality of results. So how, you might ask?

3. Quality of Decisions – To increase the quality of our actions we need to make better decisions. The next key will help us to increase the quality of our decisions.

4. Quality of Questions – The better the questions, the better the decisions you will make. One of the key ways that I help my clients as a business coach is by asking difficult questions and coaching my clients to start asking themselves those difficult questions.

5. Quality of Beliefs & Dreams – You can’t ask better questions if you don’t know what you don’t know. When you have strong beliefs and big dreams you begin to start asking better questions because you need to know why. You’ll start asking yourself what is keeping me from achieving that success. But how can someone build better and bigger dreams and a stronger belief system?

6. Quality of Education – By increasing our quality of education, always trying to learn more, our beliefs will get stronger and our dreams will get bigger.

7. Quality of Mentor/Teacher – We have to first admit that we don’t know everything. Today we have the ability to access many mentors and teachers not necessarily personally but through their workshops, books, CD’s, DVD’s, etc.

One person I consider to be my mentor but have never actually met is Jim Rohn. He just recently passed away and will be missed by many. He said two things that have always stuck with me, “You have to work harder on yourself than you do on your job” and “Don’t wish that your life was easier, wish that you were better”.

If we strive to have a mentor who can teach us and mentor us to look at the world and ourselves from a new light, we will increase the quality of our education which will lead to higher quality beliefs and dreams, which will allow us to ask better questions to make better decisions, which will allow us to take better actions which will lead to achieving better results and thus increase your quality of life.

5 Keys to Get Your Business Working without You

Business ownership is one of the American Dreams; being able to be in control of your own destiny and have the freedom to choose what you want to do and when. But for many entrepreneurs, that dream has escaped them. They have fallen into the business trap. The dream of freedom has fallen into the daily challenges and frustrations that struggling entrepreneurs face every day. No Cash – You may be selling, but there’s never enough cash to pay the bills at the end of the month. There no cash left over to invest in new technologies or to upgrade equipment or put into your pocket. No Time – You’re not running your business, it is running you. You are spending most of your day solving problems and putting out fires. Instead, you should be planning your company’s next big venture, or just have time to do things you want and spend it with the people you love. No Team – Instead of having a team of professionals that are working together toward a common goal, you have ...

Are Your Employees Keeping Up With Your Growth?

There is one challenge that I see that keeps popping up for organizations that hold them and their teams back from achieving more. Are your employees having a hard time keeping up with how rapidly your business is growing? If your team is struggling to handle the capacity of work that comes from scaling your business, I'm going to suggest to you a few strategies to help them to keep pace with your organizational growth. If you've noticed that projects seem to be falling through the cracks, the more work that your business has, this is a great thing for your business but not so good with the things that are falling through the cracks, right? I suggest to don't be too hard on your employees because maybe it might just be very hard and difficult to adjust to the growth of the heavier capacity of the work that they now have. Instead of cracking down on them, you need to focus on being heavy on accountability. If your employees are missing deadlines or aren't completing ...

Stop Fixing Your Business and Start Building it

Are you spending your day putting out fires that are popping out of nowhere? Are you always trying to fix something that’s not working in your business? Or, are you working on fire prevention enabling it to be more valuable and sellable down the road? Let me tell you what I mean... If you’re spending your day putting out fires, the fire itself is not the problem. If you find yourself always fixing your business, you haven't put the right structure in place.  You haven't put the right systems in place to be clear on what your ideal customer or employee is that will represent your brand and fit in and align with the culture of your organization. You might not even have a well-defined culture for your organization. There may not have an onboarding process for your team to make sure they are trained properly and show them your unique way of doing business. If you don't have all these systems in place, you're consistently putting out fires and fixing your business. Syste...
