Learn to handle complacency.
Complacency is something that creeps into every business once you begin to have success. Just when you think you have arrived and you are finally in a position where your business is flourishing and money is not a worry any more you take the foot off the pedal and you lose your drive and motivation.
This in turn has an effect on your bottom line, as without the constant marketing effort and continually sowing the seed, you will stop reaping the rewards. It is the "At Ease Disease" that will spread from you, to your employees and your company will backslide in it's profitability.
Living in this comfort zone doesn't make you happy. You may be able to afford the things in life you had once dreamed about and be at the same level as your peers. However, you should not judge yourself by your peers, but by your potential. If you are in a comfort zone, then you are not reaching your full potential and therefore not taking the full action required to reach even higher.
If you are at this state in your business, examine your peers and see if they have the same ambition as you. This was an eye opening experience for Tony Robbins, who having thought he had made it and was living the good life, he couldn't figure out why there was a limit to the amount of money he was making. He couldn't seem to break through the plateau to the next level.
That was until he had a conversation with a billionaire and saw how he lived. He felt small on the totem pole again and realized he had to hang around people who were more successful than him in order to have the mentality to grow further. That he did and broke through that next level.
Pay close attention who you associate with. People around you impact your values and imagination. If you have friends and family who have a negative affect on you. Be careful how much time you spend with them. Similarly, if you have a mentor and a leader showing you how to grow your business and grow in value as a person, spend as much time with them as possible.
If you think you have made it, think again. There is always another level and someone else working harder and smarter than you. When you take a break, you are letting your competition catch up!

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre 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?"
