BREXIT………….SO WHAT?????

Posted on by Evan Gantley
So have you heard about Brexit?
I’m sure you have, are you scared? you should be.
Or so we are led to believe, but maybe we just need to take a seat in our comfiest chair, and enjoy some herbal tea.

The bottom line is :

  • Brexit is talked about too much.
  • The Brexit fear is causing too many questions, and too much negative emotion.
  • People are afraid and the media are spreading this mentality.
  • We are seeing too much of the white haired Buffoon walking with his shirt tail hanging out.
As covered in Forbes Magazine previously, fear and spread of fear is contagious and most definitely damaging to our economic environment, so why do we keep doing it?
But we are not here to talk about the psychological affects of why, that’s for another article,
the following are proven ways that can be used Pre-Brexit and Post-Brexit to get you back on track.

Firstly

   1.  Access:

   2. Plan:

Make a plan of what you need to do.

  3. Take action:

As the world famous sportswear companies marketing team once said:

                                                   ‘Just do it’

  4.  Grow your Sales:

Any change in the Economic landscape is also an Opportunity to grow, Look for    where you can grow.

‘This is your time to grow your business’

SO ARE YOU READY ?

‘If its to be its up to me’

The following are Proven ways that can help……

  1. Increase your number of Clients:
  • Go out and meet new people and take on some new Clients.

2. Build on your existing relationships with current clients:

  • Go out meet your Clients find out what they want or what other Products/ services you can supply them.

3. Increase your average sale:

  • Go out and sell them more.
Ok, So to conclude, Fear and lack of confidence comes from the lack of a plan.

The Power of Written Goals

Posted on by admin

Does your business run you or do you run it? Are you frustrated with your business right now? Do you want to make more money? Do you want, and need more time? Do you want a winning team?

So, what are YOU currently doing about it? It is proven “What doesn’t get written, doesn’t get done”. Some years ago, at Harvard, a study was carried out which found

70% of students had no written or verbal goals
27% of students had verbal goals
3% of students had written goals

Very interestingly, 25 years later, the 3% who had written goals owned 98% of the total wealth of all the students. Do you want more success than you are currently getting? Then read on…

1. Decide what your 3-5 year goals are, both in life and in business and write them down. Your goals must be SMART. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time Bound)
2. Next make a detailed weekly plan of all the actions you need to take, which will help you achieve your goals.
3. Then you need to TAKE ACTION. As the Nike slogan says – Just Do It!

I challenge you to take these steps. They work for me, they work for our clients. It’s very simple and effective. I personally guarantee you, it works.
