HANDLING NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN BUSINESS (THE MINDING YOUR BIZ MYB™ SERIES)

During the early stage of business, there will be excitement and the temptation to do many things at once.  Try to contain it so your enthusiasm does not burn out fast.  Let go of distracting ‘great’ ideas so you can focus on the purpose of your business.  Better still, you can store in an ‘idea bank’ where you can go back to them later.

 
Trust yourself sometimes and don’t at other times.  It’s healthy for you and your business.  Be ready for opportunities.  You can adopt the IUF™ approach.

(I)GNORE – totally unrelated opportunities.  These will waste your time & resources.  It may appear attractive, but it will not help or be useful to you or your business in the long term.

(U)SE NOW – those opportunities which are usually one-offs but related to your long term vision/goal.

(F)OCUS ON – those opportunities related to your long term vision.

Pursue pragmatic education that places emphasis on practice and simplicity.  This means you are learning and applying it in your business at the same time.

Don’t stop learning, growing, and innovating. Your business depends on it.

LIFE TIPS FOR THE ENTREPRENEUR (THE MINDING YOUR BUSINESS MYB™ SERIES)

It’s great that you have decided to start out on your own.  Congrats dear friend for taking this bold step; the result of an ‘I can do this’ mindset and attitude. 

 

As you settle into entrepreneurship, here are some important things to remember.

-       You now have greater responsibilities as a business owner and an employer compared to if you were an employee.  Your customers and employees depend on you.  You can’t afford to let them down.

-       Your personal ‘goals-needs’ will be on hold for a while.  For example, regular vacations may be on hold for a couple of years to get a strong footing for your business.  Investing in things like houses, personal cars, another business may not be possible yet.  Remember, your business is an investment that you need to grow if you are to succeed.  Most of your resources, your money will be required to grow your business.

 

The beautiful thing is that once your business stabilizes and begins to make regular profits, you will be able to afford a number of your ‘goals-needs’ together!

That you do not have the life you envisage today or after a couple of years of doing business does not mean you can’t have it.  Keep at what you are doing.  Keep innovating - learning & trying new things.  Soon, you will break through; the light of success will shine through all those clutters of doubt.  I believe you can succeed; do you believe you can?

ITS TIME TO MIND YOUR BUSINESS! (Part 1)

Hello!  Happy new to you!!  Hope you are still feeling new? Guess what?????  We are starting the year by minding the business that is ‘YOU’.  Yes, ‘YOU’; because you are a business of such potential magnitude that you can’t afford to let things just happen by chance.

YOU
Your personal attitude can affect the outcome of this year for you as an individual and even in business.
Convince yourself again about your life’s purpose: what do you really want from life?  How does your personality work with this, is there a conflict or are both in harmony? Your goal should be to keep developing your strengths and not wear yourself out doing too much or too little.



YOUR FINANCES 
If you are unable to manage your personal funds adequately, chances are you are likely to be unable to manage your business money.  ‘Being poor is not just a mindset; it’s an attitude and a lifestyle.’
Focus more on ‘resourcefulness’. ‘Resources may increase your current income, but resourcefulness will create an unending stream of WEALTH’.  Apple started out not resource focus but on being resourceful.  Today Apple is renowned not for its resources but for its resourcefulness (innovation). 




Be open to learning and trying new ideas.  Start where your strength lies.  The good news is that whether you decide to quit your job to start a business or stay put, you can still make more money.  You can be an investor, partner, affiliate, etc.

So, are you as passionate as I am for great chances in your finances?  Then join me for my next article – ITS TIME TO MIND YOUR BUSINESS (Part 2). 

Till next time,

Remember – information remains the new currency!

PS. 
This article is for you and someone else.  Remember part of your life goal should be to give and share with others.  Share your resourcefulness with someone else by sharing this article.  Let us help make 2015 a year of great financial success for us and those we care about.  Please share.
