starting-gunAre you noticing that each day you wake up feeling drained, low in energy, pushing yourself to get
through
your day because you are so caught up in the running of your business and frustrated about the fact that you do not have time for yourself and the important people in your life? There is 1 key starting point that most of us have heard about or know about, yet this is pushed aside for whatever reason. If this starting point was put into place, it would change everything in an instant.

Do you want to know what it is? Most definitely I hear you say! Well the answer is to ‘Begin with your End in Mind’.

What does it truly mean to Begin with your End in Mind?

~ It means to be really clear on your inspirational vision for your business and your personal life.

~ It means to be really clear on your business and personal values and why you are in business in the first
place.

~ It means to be really clear on what type of people you love to work with by creating your muse.

~ It means to set up simple systems from day one of your business and maintain the update of these.

~ It means to maintain simple systems in your personal life for yourself and with your loved ones.

~ Whatever else is important to you – set this up in the beginning – do not wait!

When I first started my coaching business, I started with my End in Mind which has been the major 
contributing factor to my success of having a purposeful and profitable business with a soul-satisfying  lifestyle at the same time. I want to talk about this today because it has come up so often in the past few months with my coaching clients and thought it was time to expand on this very subject.

Because I implemented this in the beginning of my business, it did not mean that the human side
did not come
in which took me of my course at times. I remember on a number of occasions in the early days of my business I started to compare my End in Mind with other people’s success on an external level alone.

What I mean by this is that often I would see other business owners really busy, they knew a lot of
people
and networking all the time. I am all for consistently being in action doing what you love inside your business, as long as it is not at the sacrifice of having a happy marriage, good health and fitness, connecting with your children and whatever else is important at a heart level etc. I noticed how I started moving into that very direction because I had attached success to being on the go all the time and being ‘out there’.

I started to notice a feeling of being out of control of my business and my personal life because I had disconnected from my End in Mind. I noticed I was reacting to external opportunities that did not match my deeper values and the reasons why I started my business in the first place. The truth be known, I was feeling really sad because I started to push aside other important things in my life that I knew worked for me in sustaining a balanced energy flow throughout my week.

At that very time of this happening to me, I noticed business owners who were exhausted started
asking me for coaching. They told me that they were sick and tired of feeling like they were on the treadmill of exhaustion and really did not know how they were going to handle another 12 months if they wanted to grow their business. They also mentioned that they were trying to be everything to everybody with no real systems and structure that matched their lifestyle and business vision. They were feeling very depleted in energy and frustrated not knowing how to get off the treadmill they had jumped on themselves. There was no pause button for them because they did not create one based on their End in Mind.

As I coached these business owners how to set up their End in Mind, and the simple systems they needed to build a bridge, in not only their business, also in their personal life..they began to quantum shift all areas of their life propelling their personal, business and financial freedom.

This has been the biggest learning lesson for me when first starting my business which has contributed to me making sure that I continue to grab hold of my End in Mind success story with both hands and maintain my promise of never comparing my success (internally and externally) to other people’s outside success alone. You truly do not know what is happening for other people on the inside at a real feeling level, as well as their outside success. True success only occurs when you begin with your End in Mind from the inside out – yes, both internal satisfaction and contentment, as well as external tangible results.

It’s funny how a passion can arise from an adversity. This is what I am most passionate about today –helping people to set their End in Mind Success Story every day. When you zone into your End in Mind success story, it is so much easier because you are eliminating outside distractions that always causes loss of focus and sabotaging beliefs.

10 Powerful Steps to Creating a Successful Business

Too often I speak to very successful business owners who have been in business for many years; and they come to see me for coaching because they are frustrated that they are so caught up in the running of their business that they do not have a life for themselves anymore. Sound familiar! Most of the business owners I speak to are starting their business not with the end in mind.

What does this mean?

  • It means to be really clear on your vision for your business and your personal life.
  • It means to be really clear on your business and personal values and why you are in business in the first place.
  • It means to be really clear on what type of people do you love to work with and what are their traits, qualities etc.
  • It means to set up simple systems from day one of your business and maintain the update of these.
  • It means to maintain simple systems in your personal life for yourself and with your loved ones.

I was speaking with a business owner in one of my group coaching sessions last week who asked me the question;

“Is it okay for me to choose my own business hours…Don’t I have to work flat out and full on to be successful?”

What is your answer to this question as a business owner. Notice your own beliefs that may be running your business today.

My answer to her was “Definitely Not! You choose how you wish to set your business up and what hours you want to work. Consider also, how much money you may want to make and then work out your hourly rate and how many clients you need to see to achieve this. Then work out your business hours from there and see if it matches your desired lifestyle without sacrificing the important people in your life, as well as your time for self”
