The VIP Called YOU!

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text 0=””]I address a question from a reader of my Small Business Growth & Innovation Newsletter about working ON your business as opposed to IN your business.

When was the last time you made an appointment with yourself?
You make appointments with VIP clients, prospects and other key players in your business, right? So why not with yourself? You’re a VIP – the most important one in your business! You need to begin treating yourself like one and start focusing your efforts to work ON your business versus simply IN it. Both are important tactics, but working ON your business allows you to take the time to set the tone and direction for success and growth.[/vc_column_text][agni_button value=”Watch” url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_lkm_qgmYU” target=”_blank”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row 0=””][vc_column 0=””][agni_separator style=”dotted” color=”#ff655c”][vc_column_text 0=””]

What’s Luck Got to Do With Business Success?

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text 0=””]Are you seizing lucky business opportunities?
I’m often asked why I wrote about the role of luck in business. It turns out lucky business owners (defined as those whose businesses are growing) are actually engaged in different business activities than folks who are simply working hard (but not able to seize lucky opportunities). Learn more about what these activities are by watching this week’s video.[/vc_column_text][agni_button value=”Watch” url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQo61AxtoJA” target=”_blank”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row 0=””][vc_column 0=””][agni_separator style=”dotted” color=”#ff655c”][vc_column_text 0=””]

 Is Goal Setting Really Worth It?

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text 0=””]Research proves that if you set very specific goals (SMART ones), your chances of achieving them increase significantly. Watch how I respond to a question from one of the entrepreneurs participating in a business growth program that I teach in Massachusetts who wonders if it’s really worth his time to set goals.[/vc_column_text][agni_button value=”Watch” url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9xE_zlnqdI” target=”_blank”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row 0=””][vc_column 0=””][agni_separator style=”dotted” color=”#ff655c”][vc_column_text 0=””]
