STOP IT! You have enough excuses why your business is NOT giving you what you want…

From: Rich

As a business owner,  I am concerned that everytime I look at my business numbers, how many of those little details  (that actually causes the BIG details) I miss about why my business is not giving me what I want!

*Profits
*The capability of paying me, my partners
*The ability to pay my team… and on and on…

Then I asked myself, why am I in business?  Where is the CLARITY of PURPOSE that I had when I believed that I can own a super successful business.  If the business is not giving my what I want, then do I want what I got?

The answer to that is a resounding NO!

So, remembering the words of Jim Rohn: “Never wish that life is easier, wish that YOU were better.”  Hmm, how can I be better? 

The answer came.  It said: STOP IT!

Stop looking for quick fixes – moving funds here, transferring money there, firing and re-hiring, cutting out training for my team, etc.  All I am doing is putting a band aid on my business.  I am not addressing on how to heal the wound to stop the bleeding.

I knew I needed help.  I knew that there is help out there, as long as I am willing to listen and learn! 

Here’s what I did: (I like to keep it simple, and I stuck with 3 things I MUST DO!)
1. I called for help.
2. I listened and learned and hired a Business Coach (of course, they had to be the #1 firm in the world).
3.  I worked on knowing my Break – Even!  Here is a SIMPLE FREE Break Even Calculator. Go to: http://www.actioncoach.com/free-business-calculator-break-even.php or click here

Try it!  One step at a time, you may find yourself back on track.  I did!
