Break Through Your Resistance

It's almost Spring. Which also means the first quarter of the year is almost over. How are you doing on your goals for the year, for the quarter? Have you neglected or forgotten some of those New Year's resolutions?

Missing your deadlines, dropping goals and letting things slip, are all red flags you should pay attention to. It is important to recognize that we often resist what we need most.

If you are skirting around some of those ambitious goals, ask yourself the hard questions of why? And at what cost? If you keep repeating the same things and expecting different results, you are choosing paralysis and starvation. (If you haven't read it, take an evening and read "Who Moved My Cheese" by Spencer Johnson, Kenneth H. Blanchard).

Instead, to get back on track and still meet those 90 day goals, use all the wherewithal you have:

• resources - read a book this weekend in the area where you need to try something new, and apply it.
• people - be accountable to someone who will hold you accountable like a trainer, coach, mentor. That person can dissolve your resistance and keep you focused on what's important.
• money - pay someone else to do it (employees or outside services), just get it done and off your plate so you can move on.

So, just like the snow storm swirling around my house right now, do whatever it takes. Make your business roar to life now to herald the arrival of spring so you can achieve your audacious year-long goals.

Re: Looking for partners to start career consulting business - Hi Mike, 1) I'm moving this to the Looking For section 2) I think a good start would be to seek out local, potential competing or related organizations/companies in your area. Universities, job centres, head hunters, HR professionals...etc. [quote:34k2gxrf]It will target professionals who want to start working at executives or higher level positions but lack necessary experience.[/quote:34k2gxrf] And I think it'll definitely help if you align your products/services with your target customer group. i.e. How do you plan to seek out this group? -------> Find the necessary talent that can accomplish this. i.e. Providing internship --------> Training in-house? Or training outsourced? Again, seek talent that aligns with your objectives. Break down what your business operations would be like, then seek the appropriate talent to cover that area. Of course, you don't want to give up too much equity by seeking out too many partners. Usually lower number of founders the more likely the start-up will survive. Good luck
Success Strategies - How to get the results you want now? Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are: The Power of Choice Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this. The Power of Focus The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives. The Power of Commitment This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community. My Success Acronyn in Success Breakthroughs(c) is: S pecific & self-directed U nlimited opportunities & possibilities C reate powerful outcomes C onsistent measureable results E xperience pwoerful transformation S olution and action-oriented S uccessful habits and outcomes Break Through to Powerful LIfestyle & Performance Choices Moira
Tips To Help You Create A Marketing Plan That Works - A marketing plan is a written plan with details how you intend to make your target market aware of your product or service. Here are some tips to help you create an effective marketing plan. 1. Before you decide where you business needs to go you need to take stock of where it currently is. Where does your business currently stand? Take some time to assess what areas of your business need to be focused on in order for it to grow. Is your business still in the start-up phase? Do others know about your business? What are the positive or negative comments you received during the test phase of your marketing? 2. Now decide where you want your business to go from here. Take some time to set realistic, achievable goals and then write down the steps you need to take in order to reach those goals. Break large, long-term goals into smaller short-term mini-goals. In this way, you can keep track of the progress you are making. 3. Look for a smaller niche within your larger target market. Find customers whose needs are not being met and then fill those needs. That’s the fastest way to build a successful business. 4. Decide on your marketing message and on the medium you want to use to get that message out to your target audience. List the media outlets you want to try and make a note of the ones you want and can afford to do first. 5. Use a combination of free and paid promotions. It’s important to reinvest a portion if your profits back into your business so that it can continue to grow. Start now. It takes time and effort to keep your business going and growing. Take small steps each day and your business will be thriving.
