Business Literacy Stimulates Entrepreneurial and Personal Mastery—Part 1

Business Literacy Stimulates Entrepreneurial and Personal Mastery—Part 1

Entrepreneurs are a special breed, transcending the definition of “somebody who sets up and finances new commercial enterprises to make a profit.”• Entrepreneurs’ brains must look different than others. They possess a reserve of dream power, almost magical abilities to project ideas and gather enthusiasm from people listening and wanting to jump into their vision. This cannot be taught.

What CAN be taught is how to build a strong business foundation and marketing machine that drives the vision and subsequent products and services into the marketplace.

Let’s begin with Business Literacy™ (BL)
o Entrepreneurs can use Business Literacy™ as a powerful tool for businesses or service firms because of its cross-cutting effects (http://www.positivepotentials.com/businessliteracy.htm). BL is steeped in one’s functionality, talents and innate skills. It is the foundation for entrepreneurial actions.

o Begin to explore the elements of what you’re doing and examine them with a positive, learning lens, not a punitive one. (This issue is a top coaching issue because coaching supports the client to chunk down the larger “boulders” into manageable “pebbles.”)

o Use BL and the EMBA™ method to shift your energy from DO to VIEW™. Once engaged, this perspective shift changes everything you’ve believed until this moment. Entrepreneurs love coaches to bounce ideas as they are sorting through the deconstructed “rubble.”

o As a coach, I often see smart and well-educated people overlook the simplest elements because they want to avoid risk. BL serves you to encompass the meta-view (from all around) when you are too close to the issues. The objective is not to avoid risk, but to manage it.

You can submit your issues to Coach Cubas at mcubas@positivepotentials.com with a question that keeps you up at night. Trade in your antacid for a good night’s sleep when you know Coach Cubas is watching out just for you.

Leanne Hoagland-Smith
Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?"
