Start accepting these 8 simple, harsh truths ⤵️ - around life, business & self-development. 1/ You don’t grow without doing hard things. 2/ Your life gets better the more time you spend outside, facts. 3/ Even if your job is your passion, you will not enjoy every second. 4/ Life doesn’t get easier, you get better, more resilient, and stronger. 5/ You’re only ‘too much’ for people who are not enough for you. 6/ Things aren’t supposed to be anything other than what they are. 7/ Time is the only thing you never get back, money, food, and clients, constantly come & go. 8/ Your hard things will eventually become your easy things - then it’s time to create new hard things ~ this is how you grow. Which one resonates the most right now? For me - it's number 8 👀 Happy Friday. 💪🏻

✨ New Year, New You And All That Crap. 🕰 How was your time spent with your partner last year? Looking back is there anything you would have changed for a better outcome? 💫 I’m not one for new year’s resolutions as it’s not about changing things drastically so that you cant keep up. Its about changing things so that you can implement little changes which are achievable. ⭐ Often changing something small will have a significant impact on your thoughts and feelings towards your partner. 💘 If it is not spending enough quality time with each other, then make a pact to spend one night a week or a night out per month together. Go on a date night or do something out of the ordinary. Really switch it up to bring the excitement back into the relationship. 💔 If you have drifted apart and feel disconnected from each other, sit down and ask why. Why do you feel this way? 💖 If you are looking for guidance on how to repair your relationship we can hop on a FREE call to see if this is right for you.

We all have good days and bad days. But when you have a business, it is so important to not let those bad days affect your customers. In your customer's eyes, today should be the best day ever! And by that I don't mean that you have to be absolutely out of your mind happy (or appear that way). Just be ready and willing to go out of your way to make their experience with you and your business awesome. If they are having a bad day, please do NOT say something like this: 'Oh my goodness, ME TOO!! Glad I'm not the only one!' That does a few things. It takes the focus off of them to you (focus should always be them). It also could be a way of minimizing the way they feel. I would recommend acknowledging their feelings and say something that lets them know 'I hear you and I understand.' People want to know they are being heard and understood. If that's the least you can do, you are in the right direction. I am not saying that your feelings should be ignored or forgotten about. Once you are finished working with a customer, take the time that you need and work on yourself. If your feelings are truly impacting your ability to give your customer your absolute best, then perhaps you should reschedule. Please don't try to 'tough it out' as your are doing your customer and yourself a disservice.

You don't own all the problems in the world. https://lnkd.in/e7Ad_PtU #capitalfinancialedge #contractorsclosersandconnections

How fucking annoying is this?!⁣ ⁣ 𝐁𝐔𝐓….⁣ ⁣ 𝐈𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭!⁣ ⁣ Question to ask is if this is happening all too often in your business, what do you have in place to protect yourself and keep the relationship strong?⁣ ⁣  - Are they clear on the cancelation process?⁣ ⁣  - Are they clear on their next steps with you and are they excited by it? If not, where's the motivation for them to move things around and make the session?⁣ ⁣  - Do you have a fair cancellation process in place?⁣ ⁣  - If they've cancelled at the last minute, have you got a system in place so that you don't suffer financially and so you can still add value to them even though they can't physically attend?⁣ ⁣  - If they've given plenty of notice do you have an automated way in which they can rebook but still fit in with your schedule and not put you out in any way? We dont want back and forth messages trying to rebook (arse ache)⁣ ⁣ If the answer to any of these is NO then DM me the word ‘Headache’ and i'll show you how to make this process a lot smoother…and a lot less frustrating!

If you want to gain more headspace, here is my advice. Never lie. If you win a customer through a lie, let's not talk about the unethical part, you'll always need to remember what you told them originally about yourself. If you tell the truth, you'll make your life much easier. Let alone that most liars get caught with their lies at one point or another. If you're willing to work hard and deliver on your promise, you'll find clients at every stage. Some people like to work with beginners, and some with professionals. There is no need to lie in business unless you sell something you don't know how to deliver. An honest person, someone who knows what they are doing, doesn't need to lie. Everyone starts from 0, and there is no need to make yourself as if you're at 100.

1. Distraction destroys your brain. - Block deep-work hours. 2. Your 9-5 job is someone else's "high-leverage" business. - Create business. 3. Be aware of whom you should take advice from. - Cut people who are not where you want to be in life. 4. Your life's 100% your responsibility. - The game is rigged. Learn the rules and break them. 5. Action and self-discipline can change your mind. - Change your mind, change your life. 6. Identify what you are good at. Go out of your comfort zone. - Create your niche. Give 100% for the next 100 days. 7. No one cares about you. - Share your stories with the world. 8. Don't be the smartest in the room. - Work with smarter people, even with zero pay. 9. Build a better body, and invest in creating a better mind. - Work out daily, and meditate every day. That's it.

Stay rooted at that spot where you know you are completely in your value and you are completely doing the thing that you need to do to build a profitable life and business. https://bit.ly/3K1ooOB
