Inhale Confidence - Exhale Doubt

Hi, Helen Here! 

I have read a lot of books on how to build a successful business. I have read an extensive range of “how to” books for a range of different entrepreneurs. Believe it or not, every book I have read has at least had one chapter about confidence and how it is the key to success.

Confidence plays a major role in everyone’s lives, it is said that people with high levels of confidence expect and experience greater success. How we think and feel about ourselves has an enormous impact on how we perform in our business.

But you must be asking yourself, why is confidence the key to success for my business? Well, I like to say that confidence is defined as how strongly you believe in your capabilities to learn new skills, perform at a certain level, attain a goal or achieve your own definition of success. It is no secret that confidence is the most important psychological contributor to performance in the business world because you may have all of the ability in the world to accomplish a goal, but if you do not believe you have that ability then you won’t use that ability to its fullest
.
When I ask people what comes first out of success or knowledge, 9 times out of 10 they say success because they believe that in order to be confident you have to be successful. That is not true. If you believe that reasoning, then you very likely won’t achieve a substantial success because lacking confidence won’t let you take the risk of giving it everything you’ve got, which is necessary for real success.

If you would like to gain more confidence that you become a part of our Beyond Networking Program, you will meet like-minded business people who make you feel motivated. As a group, we talk about ideas to implement in your business and help push you over the edge towards your hopes and dreams in your business.

If Your Profitability Aim Is Nothing, You Will Reach It Every Time

Hi, Helen Here!  In all my years of coaching and mentoring small to medium business owners and their teams I always tell them to set goals. Usually they will make goals about the obvious things; customers, competition marketing etc. But what ceases to amaze me is that they forget the most important and obvious goal; profit. I know that every business hopes that they will make a profit, few make it a measure of success though. Many times, small business owners look at what they pay themselves as profit, but what you pay yourself if what you get paid for doing a job. Profit is what you gain from the investment of your time and talent.  Without profit what you have really done is just created a really hard job for yourself. The problem is you see, many business owners become fixated on growth but what they don’t understand is that without profit, it is simply more work.  Profit is measured of the return of your interest, set goals for profit leave and make decisions ...

Knowledge Improves Performance and Profitability

Hi, Helen Here.  It is no secret that having business knowledge improves your performance and profitability. But, unfortunately a lot of people don’t understand the concept and how to harness it.  Using knowledge in your business doesn’t mean that you have to think up clever new ideas, products or services. It is much more straightforward. Useful and important knowledge can be the experience you gain from your employees, the designs and process of your goods or services, the way you sort your documentation, your plans for future activities and much more.  The challenge isn’t gaining and being exposed to this knowledge, it is harnessing it and using it in a productive way. You can gain the knowledge by your customers, your employee’s or suppliers, the market, organisational memory and the list can go on.   So, consider the measurable benefits of capturing the knowledge and using it effectively. There are a range of outcomes that could happen.  Maybe the...
