6 Simple Tips to Increase Your Power of Positive Focus and Achieve More

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0700

Let’s be honest: staying focused these days feels a bit like trying to meditate at a rock concert.

Your brain’s working to dial into something meaningful; however, there’s a never-ending stream of pings, pop-ups, texts, and stray thoughts like, “Do we have almond milk?” or “Maybe I should check my emails that I’ve ignored for 12 seconds.”

And yet, here you are, working to get more done, stay positive, and maybe even enjoy the process.

If that sounds at all familiar, you’re in the right place. Positive focus isn’t just some cheesy motivational phrase. It’s a real strategy that can help you stay grounded, productive, and maybe even a little happier while chasing your goals and dreams.

Let’s explore six simple (and refreshingly human) ways to sharpen your focus and actually achieve even more, without becoming a productivity robot.

The #1 Mental Skill Top Entrepreneurs Use and Rarely Talk About

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0700

As an entrepreneur, you already know that your results are not created by strategy alone. They’re driven by your mindset first.

You can have the right business plan, strong systems, and proven tools, and still feel stuck, scattered, or stalled. The missing piece is often what’s happening between your ears.

That’s where visualization becomes one of the most powerful success tools you can use to grow your business and create your ideal life.

Visualization is mental conditioning and a scientifically supported technique used by elite athletes, top executives, and high-performing entrepreneurs to improve focus, confidence, and execution.

Why? Because the brain works in pictures.

Your mind doesn’t distinguish between something vividly imagined and something actually experienced. When you repeatedly visualize your success with clarity and emotion, your brain begins to rewire itself. It starts looking for opportunities instead of obstacles, solutions instead of problems, and momentum instead of hesitation.

Don’t just read it. Implement the ideas in it.

Your future isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you create.
And it all starts with what you choose to see and do.

What Is Your Procrastination Costing You? A Wake-Up Call for all Entrepreneurs

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0700

You’re not lazy.
You’re not unmotivated.
And you’re certainly not incapable.

Yet somewhere in your business, and likely in your life, you are delaying a decision you already know you need to make.

And that delay?
It’s costing you far more than you think.

Procrastination is not a harmless pause. It’s not “waiting for the right time.” It’s not strategy. For many entrepreneurs, procrastination is a silent profit killer, a momentum destroyer, and a freedom thief.

The most dangerous part?
You don’t see the bill until years later, when the opportunity is long gone.

So, let’s be honest.

What is your procrastination costing you right now?

Take the Procrastination Cost Quiz

What Is Waiting REALLY Costing You?

Your future is shaped by the decisions you make and the ones you delay.

The 4 Goal Setting Secrets of World-Class Achievers

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0700

You already know how to set goals.

You’ve achieved results most people only talk about. And yet, if you’re honest, you know you’re capable of more. Not more effort. More precision.

World-class achievers, whether in business, sports, education, or the arts, don’t win because they want it more. They win because they set goals differently. Their goals aren’t vague aspirations or motivational slogans, they’re engineered for execution, momentum, and inevitability. It comes down to two foundational elements: structure and belief. Most people skip both.

High achievers aren’t superhuman. What they have is clarity. They know exactly what they want and exactly how to move toward it, day after day.

The question isn’t whether you can achieve your next level.

It’s whether you’re using the same four goal-setting principles the best in the world refuse to skip.

So, what’s different about their approach?

Let’s explore four secrets world-class achievers follow religiously, and how you can apply them without changing who you are.

Why Accountability Is Your Ultimate Game-Changer

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0700

Imagine standing at the top of a mountain, wind at your back, heart pounding with the knowledge that you accomplished what you set out to do. That moment—electric, vivid, and unstoppable doesn’t come by accident. Accountability isn’t about guilt. It’s about empowerment. It’s the rocket fuel that lifts your dreams into reality. It’s time to stop being tired of being sick and tired.

Accountability is not a burden. It’s your path to freedom. And today, I want to take you deeper than ever into why “Accountability Is the Key to Your Success.”

Picture this: it’s January 1st. You’re fired up, setting resolutions, promising yourself this is the year. You’re going to lose weight, scale your business, deepen your relationships, grow spiritually. And then by March, or sooner, the fire is gone. The gym that was packed on January 5th looks like a ghost town by March 5th. Why?

Because of something called the Law of Diminishing Intent (LODI).

LODI says: our intention to complete an activity is highest the moment we create it, and then over time, that intention naturally fades.

Change doesn’t happen with a single decision. Change happens when intention is renewed, again and again and again. And this is where accountability becomes the fuel that sustains your fire, so you have the highest probability of achieving your goals in the timeframe you desire.

Accountability: The Antidote to Fading Intentions

Without accountability, your goals are just wishes. With accountability, your goals become promises, and promises you keep to yourself, so you ultimately achieve your ideal business and life.

Your next level of success isn’t waiting, it’s demanding you step up. Harness the power of accountability and watch your business and life transform.

7 Psychological Tricks to Achieve Your Goals (That Actually Work)

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0700

Goals are easy to set and painfully hard to stick to, as you already know. We’ve all made that magical to-do list on January 1st only to find it crumpled under a pile of laundry by the end of February.

If you’ve ever set a goal and watched it quietly die, you’re not lazy. You’re just human. And humans, well...we’re weird. We make emotional decisions, get distracted by snacks, and will somehow clean the entire kitchen before writing an email that could generate additional revenue.

Here’s the good news: You can hack your brain. Not in a shady, Silicon Valley techy way, but in small, sneaky psychological ways that trick your brain into showing up when your motivation disappears.

Let’s explore 7 psychological tricks backed by science, experience, and a little human chaos that will help you reach your goals, or maybe even exceed them.

How to Gain Momentum in Life Without Burning Out

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0800

The whole "hustle until you drop" mentality has somehow become the gold standard for success. Walk into any coffee shop and you'll hear people bragging about their all-nighters like they are war stories. "I only got three hours of sleep!" they announced proudly, as if sleep deprivation was an Olympic sport.

Here's the plot twist nobody talks about: the most successful people aren't the ones running around like caffeinated hamsters on a wheel. They're the ones who figured out how to build momentum without setting themselves on fire in the process.

The Burnout Trap Everyone Falls Into

And then? Crash. Burn. Radio silence.

Here's something they don't teach in business school: you have three different types of energy, and they all need different kinds of fuel.

The "1% better" philosophy isn't just motivational fluff; it's mathematics. When you improve by 1% each day for a year, you're 37 times better by the end. That's not linear growth; that's exponential transformation.

Here's the catch: 1% of improvements are so small they're almost invisible. Writing one paragraph doesn't feel like progress. Doing ten push-ups doesn't feel like fitness. Reading five pages doesn't feel like education. However, multiply that by 365 days, and suddenly you've written a book, gotten in shape, and become well-read.

How to Achieve Your Goals Using Positive Thinking

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0800

Positive thinking. It’s one of those concepts that’s both universally praised and, let’s be honest, universally eye-rolled at. You’ve probably heard it all: “Just think positive!” “Good vibes only!” “Manifest your dreams into reality!” While those phrases sound like they’re straight out of a motivational Instagram post (or an overly enthusiastic TED Talk), there’s actually some truth to them, when you know how to make it work for you.

The power of positive thinking is about much more than just pretending everything is fine and dandy. It’s about changing how you approach challenges, using optimism to fuel your actions, and creating a mindset that drives you toward your success.

Let’s dive into how positive thinking can actually help you crush your goals without needing to fake it till you make it.

Positive Thinking Isn’t Magic—It’s a Choice

By shifting how you think, re-framing challenges, and focusing on the positives, even on tough days, you’ll find that you’re more resilient, motivated, and encouraged to keep going when things get tough. And, in the end, that’s what makes all the difference.

Unleash the Power of Relentless Persistence to Achieve Unstoppable Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0800

If there’s one trait that separates those who dream from those who do, it’s persistence.

Persistence isn’t sexy and it’s not flashy. It’s not a headline you see on social media. However, it’s the real force behind every breakthrough, every win, every entrepreneur who’s ever built something extraordinary from nothing.

Anyone can start. That’s easy.
But finishers? They’re rare.

Finishers are the ones who keep going when it’s boring, when it’s uncomfortable, when every part of them wants to stop. And that relentless follow-through is the dividing line between businesses that merely survive and those that scale, thrive, and dominate their market.

You weren’t born with it, you build it. Let’s explore 8 ways it’s worth it.

7 Ways to Have and Keep a Positive Attitude and Grow Your Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0800

At first glance, positive thinking can seem like a soft concept, something reserved for motivational posters and keynote speeches. However, in the day-to-day reality of running a business, mindset plays a much more practical role.

When deadlines slip, clients push back, or goals fall short, it’s not just strategy that gets tested, it’s your attitude. And not the forced, everything-is-fine kind. True positivity is about how you respond when things aren’t fine. It’s the ability to stay grounded, recalibrate, and keep going.

That kind of resilience doesn’t just affect how you show up, it shapes how your team performs, how decisions are made, and ultimately, how your business grows.

Let’s dive into seven practical ways to develop and maintain a positive mindset, and why doing so can make a real difference in your long-term success.

If you want to grow, you need more than strategy and you need stamina. And a positive attitude gives you that. Not through hype. Through habits.

So, if you’ve been struggling to stay motivated, maybe it’s not your goals that need adjusting. Maybe it’s your mindset.

Start there. It’s the foundation everything else sits on.

6 Theories of Motivation That Will Help You Achieve Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0800

Let’s be real. If motivation was as simple as reading an inspirational quote and drinking a green smoothie, we’d all be billionaires with six-packs and zero emails in our inbox.

However, it’s not and you know that already.

The truth? Motivation is a bit of a trickster. One minute you’re firing on all cylinders, and the next you’re rearranging your desktop icons and Googling "how many almonds is too many almonds."

So, let’s drop the rah-rah for a second and talk about what actually drives behavior, especially when you're already successful and looking for something more. Not just more money. More clarity. More discipline. More progress on the things that still matter.

Turns out, the answer’s been around for decades. It’s called motivation theory— the psychology of what makes people tick. Most of it’s been locked away in grad school lectures and HR seminars. Once you strip the jargon, it’s surprisingly useful.

Here’s a breakdown of the six motivation theories that can actually help you move forward when you’re stuck or coasting along.

7 Success Habits of Goal Achievers

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0800

Every time you meet someone who’s crushing their goals, it’s tempting to believe they have some rare trait you don’t. Discipline, maybe. Or raw talent. Maybe they’re just born with a stronger will.

However, more often than not, that’s not the case.

The truth? High achievers aren’t always smarter or luckier. What they are is consistent. They’ve built a few core habits into their daily routine that most people don’t do. And these habits, while not glamorous, are repeatable. Boring, even. But powerful.

Let’s explore seven success habits that consistently show up in the lives of people who actually follow through on what they say they want.

Because in the end, goal achievement isn’t some elite club. It’s just a set of decisions, repeated long enough to produce results.

7 Best Goals To Set You Up for A Great Business and A Better You

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0800

You don’t need another motivational quote about climbing mountains or chasing dreams. Right? So, let’s skip the fluff. You’ve already built the business you truly want. Maybe even a few businesses. Here’s the catch no one tells you once you hit $1M, $5M, or $10M in revenue: momentum can get harder, not easier.

You stop setting goals because you’re “too busy.” What you really mean is that the old goals stopped working.

So, let’s reset that. No more 5 AM yoga if you truly hate mornings. Let’s explore seven real, high-leverage goals that help you create a better version of yourself and your business, with some joy left in the tank.

Would you like to know how to legally reduce your taxable income?

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0800

Would you like to know how to legally reduce your taxable income?

If Heck Yes, you want to listen to this interview with Carlotta because she is a wealth of information related to helping you learn how to legally reduce taxable income on your next tax return.

At the age of 14 Carlotta Thompson decided she wanted to work for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), so she began studying tax law with that dream. Shortly after attaining her dream of working for the IRS, Carlotta realized that the IRS wasn’t actually the place to help small businesses like she’d thought, and it felt like she was working for the wrong side. As an auditor, she saw tons of tax returns with sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars of missed deductions that were detrimental for clients. Carlotta created a bigger dream and mission to directly help business owners pay the least tax legally possible by creating Tax Strategists of America. She created a program to help business owners pay the least taxes legally possible.

You can find my interview with Carlotta Thompson at https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/accountabilitycoach.com/id290547573, https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id305208343, https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/my-podcast/, and on most podcast platforms and in most English-speaking countries.

Tired of Breaking Your Goal Deadlines? Here's How to Stop

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0800

Deadlines! Those little digital bullies that sit in our calendars, mocking us with their red font and exclamation points. If you're listening to this, chances are you've had a recent intimate encounter with the panic-inducing phrase "due yesterday" or found yourself crafting yet another creative excuse about why your project is fashionably late.

Don't worry – you're not alone in this deadline disaster dance. We've all been there, promising ourselves we'll start that important task "first thing tomorrow" while simultaneously opening another browser tab to watch videos of cats being confused by cucumbers. Here's the thing: breaking deadlines doesn't just stress you out, it's like slowly deflating your professional reputation one missed due date at a time.

Did you know that if you don’t start a task within the first 72 hours you are very unlikely to do it at all? Regardless of how difficult, time-intensive, or complex a task is we need to get started within 72 hours. This doesn’t mean you have to finish within 72 hours, it just means that you need to start. Keep that in mind when scheduling and planning.

The good news? You can absolutely turn this ship around, and you don't need to sacrifice your sanity (or your Netflix subscription) to do it.

It’s a brand-new year, 365 days filled with tons of possibilities and opportunities! The truth is, we all get the same amount of time each year.

The Eve Before Christmas – Fun Poem

Anne Bachrach — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0800

This is a poem by Linda Doucett that I hope you was fun and hope you enjoy.

'Twas the eve before Christmas.
I left it too late.
The shelves are all bare.
Oh, why did I wait?

I swore I'd shop early,
I clearly remember,
And be done with it all
By the first of December.

But now here I am
With picked-over stock.
The boxes are crumpled
On the Marvel knockoffs.

Sweaters too big,
Slippers too small.
The pushing the grabbing,
Get me out of this mall.

I will stop at the drug store
And purchase a card
And fill it with money.
Why make life hard?

It always fits
And suits everyone's taste.
No need to wrap it.
That's just a waste.

But should you not like it,
Dear, have no fear,
If you'd like to return it,
My pocket's right here.

Something a little different and hopefully you enjoyed this poem. Happy Holiday!

Use Time Blocks to Manage Your Schedule and Increase Your Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0800

Do you ever end the day wondering where all your time went? Your to-do list is still overflowing, your calendar is jammed, and yet the results don’t reflect the hours you’ve put in. The truth is that most people don’t have a time problem, they have a focus problem. Time blocking is the simple, powerful habit that flips chaos into clarity.

To help you with being even more time efficient, let’s explore:

1) The benefits of using time blocks,

2) What they look like in real life,

3) When not to use them, and

The Ripple Effect: How Your Choices Shape Your Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0800

Every day, whether you realize it or not, you’re creating ripples. Some are small, like the choice of whether to eat oatmeal or eggs for breakfast. Others are massive, like saying “yes” to enhancing your existing business to a new level, getting married, a new job, or moving across the country.

The truth is, most people underestimate how much power their choices really hold. They imagine “big decisions” are the only ones that matter. However, here’s the reality: every choice has consequences, and those consequences stack. Over time, the ripple effect of your choices can radically shape your business, your career, your relationships, and ultimately, the quality of your life.

Research from Cornell University suggests the average person makes about 35,000 decisions every single day. That’s a staggering number! No wonder we often feel overwhelmed or exhausted because our brains are constantly choosing, sorting, and deciding. And here’s the kicker: each of those choices creates momentum in a particular direction. The question is, are your ripple effect choices moving you closer to your ideal business and life, or further away from them?

Decision Fatigue Is Real

Why Elite Athletes and High-Level CEOs Swear by Accountability

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 04 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0800

Let’s start with a story from the track.

In an interview after the 2016 Olympics, Usain Bolt—arguably the greatest sprinter of all time—was asked how he stayed focused through grueling training cycles and relentless media pressure. His answer wasn’t about medals or motivation. It was about responsibility.

“I knew people were counting on me,” he said. “My coach. My team. My country. That’s what kept me locked in.”

That mindset, accountability to something greater than yourself, is a common thread among top performers.

Whether it’s a sprinter chasing gold or a CEO leading a billion-dollar business, the ones who stay consistent over time rarely rely on willpower alone. They build systems that make follow-through a non-negotiable.

When you look at elite-level performers, whether they’re on the field or in the boardroom, you’ll see a pattern.

Top CEOs have executive coaches. Athletes have trainers, performance teams, and mindset coaching. Even top authors have editors and agents breathing down their necks.

It’s not about being watched.
It’s about being committed to follow-through, especially when no one’s cheering yet.

Accountability Is a Performance Enhancer

Giving Thanks Today and Every Day (Happy Thanksgiving!!)

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0800

Since today is Thanksgiving in the United States, I thought you might enjoy a short poem. Levity is always a good thing, I think.

Here’s your Funny Ode to Thanksgiving

May your stuffing be tasty May your turkey be plump,

May your potatoes and gravy Have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious, and your pies take the prize,

And may your Thanksgiving dinner Stay off your thighs!

Thanksgiving is a powerful reminder to pause, reflect, and celebrate the abundance in our lives. Giving thanks isn’t just a tradition, it’s a practice that strengthens relationships, expands opportunities, and creates a ripple effect of positivity in every area of life. When we pause to appreciate what we have, we shift our focus from what’s missing to what’s possible.

In business and in life, gratitude is a performance multiplier. Studies show that people who regularly practice gratitude are happier, healthier, and more successful. The simple act of expressing thanks to clients, colleagues, friends, and family, builds trust, deepens connection, and fuels the kind of momentum that makes goals a reality.

Today, I thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey. Your commitment to growth and achievement inspires me every day. As you gather with loved ones, may this season remind you that gratitude is more than a holiday ritual — it’s a powerful tool for creating your ideal business and your ideal life.

One simple way to strengthen this practice year-round is by keeping a gratitude journal. Writing down what you’re thankful for can improve your mental clarity, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. To help you get started, download my complimentary Gratitude Journal exercise here: https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/gratitude/

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0800

Manifesting what we want in business and in life isn’t difficult. Manifesting also requires you to put in the effort to have the highest probability of getting what you desire. It’s not enough to announce to the Universe, “I’d like to achieve XYZ.” You need to put in the effort to help that dream become a reality.

How can you manifest your desires as a way of getting things done? Here are four steps you can take:

Now that you know how to work on manifesting your desires to get things done you may need to, or want to, implement these five steps to help with your manifestation.

What Top 5% Income Earners Do Differently When Setting Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0800

Ever wonder what separates the top 5% of income earners from everyone else? Spoiler alert: it's not just luck, inherited wealth, or knowing the right people (though those certainly can help). The real differentiator often lies in how these high achievers approach goal setting, and no, it's not just writing "make more money" on a sticky note and hoping for the best.

So, what exactly do these financial overachievers do differently when it comes to setting and pursuing their goals? Let's dive into the five key habits that set them apart from the pack.

Getting Started

The beauty of these habits lies in their simplicity, not their ease. Anyone can start implementing systems tomorrow, begin saying no to non-essential commitments next week, or schedule their first goal review session this weekend.

Top earners didn't develop these habits overnight, and they didn't wait for perfect conditions to begin. They started where they were, with what they had, and built momentum through small, consistent actions that compounded over time. The same opportunity exists for anyone who wants to trade short-term comfort for long-term business and personal success.

After all, the top 5% isn't a closed club; it's simply a group of people who figured out how to set better goals and, more importantly, how to achieve them. Ready to join the 5% club?

What Are Efficient Actions and Behaviors to Be Even More Successful?

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0800

You didn’t start your business to spend 40 minutes figuring out how to fix the spacing in a Google Doc.

Yet here you are, buried in admin tasks, responding to client service emails at 11 p.m., and debating whether “optimize” or “streamline” sounds more impressive in a pitch deck.

Sound familiar?

Here’s the deal: the most successful CEOs aren’t superhuman. They’re just super selective about how they spend their valuable time. They’ve mastered the art of identifying their highest-payoff activities, the ones that actually move the business forward, and then ruthlessly delegating everything else.

And the best part? You can do this too. You don’t need a Fortune 500 badge to think like a top-tier CEO. You just need to stop doing $10 an hour tasks when you're supposed to focus on $10,000 and $50,000 decisions.

Let’s break it down.

A helpful question to ask yourself is:

“When I only have 2 hours today, what do I need to do that would have the biggest impact on moving my business forward to the next level?”

So, Why Are You Still Doing the Other Activities?

To help you with this concept, let’s break it down into 6 steps.

5 Unstoppable Benefits of Focus That Will Transform Your Business and Life

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0700

Let’s cut through the noise: focus isn’t just a productivity hack—it’s a power move. In a world addicted to distraction, the entrepreneur who masters focus becomes unstoppable. Because when your energy is scattered, so are your results. However, when your focus is sharp, your outcomes are helping you achieve your goals, so you can enjoy having your ideal business and life.

Focus is the gateway to momentum. It's the bridge between setting goals and crushing them. And it’s one of the most underrated tools in your arsenal as a business owner.

Most people don’t have a time problem, they have a focus problem. You can’t complain about not having enough time when you’re leaking your energy in a hundred directions. You want exponential growth, right? You want to scale your business, lead your team with certainty, and create a business and life on your terms? It’s time to take control of your attention and your results.

Why is Multitasking the Fast Track to Mediocrity?

Let’s talk the truth: multitasking is a myth. You are not wired to focus on five activities at once and expect to do any of them well. Your brain isn’t designed for constant switching. In fact, studies show that multitasking lowers productivity by as much as 40%.

Every time you bounce from one task to another, you're forcing your brain to refocus, reorient, and reset. That mental tax stacks up fast, and it’s costing you more than you realize.

So, what does focus really give you? Let’s dive into the five game-changing benefits that can transform your business and your life.

8 Ways to Achieve More by Working Less

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0700

For years, the idea of success was tied to hustle. The longer the hours, the greater the sacrifice, the more valid the ambition… or so it seemed. Think: 14-hour days, skipped meals, late-night emails. Exhaustion doesn’t equal effectiveness. In fact, the opposite often happens, and performance starts to plateau, and burnout creeps in.

It’s a pattern many professionals recognize. After too many late nights or costly mistakes made from fatigue, the realization hits…there has to be a smarter way to effectively work within ‘normal’ hours.

Turns out, there’s solid research behind it. A Harvard Business Review study found that taking regular breaks improves productivity, decision-making, and job satisfaction. Stanford research shows that output per hour drops dramatically after 50 hours of work in a week, and output really falls off a cliff beyond 55 hours.

Working less isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing the high payoff activities that moves the needle, with clarity and energy. It’s not laziness, it’s leverage.

Here’s how to apply this ‘achieve more’ mindset and get even better results by doing less.

When you embrace the idea that rest, movement, focus, and systems are tools and not indulgences, you’ll start to experience what real productivity feels like.

And it definitely won’t require 14-hour days to get there.

6 Ways To Know If My Team Is Working Optimally To Support My Firm

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0700

A common leadership trap is assuming that a hard-working team is a high-performing one. Effort alone doesn’t guarantee progress. The more useful question is: Is your team helping you grow your business, or are they just staying busy?

Ask yourself: Do your team members proactively share updates, flag issues early, improve processes, and offer feedback to one another? If not, it might be time to foster a more communicative culture.

Let’s explore six ways to tell when your team is truly operating at its best, and what to do if they’re not.

Assessing your team’s performance isn’t just about metrics—it’s about observing behaviors, communication patterns, and attitudes. By focusing on these six areas, you can gain a clearer picture of how well your team is supporting your business goals.

The 80/20 Rule to Unleashing Ultimate Business and Life Mindset Mastery

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 02 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0700

When you look at the most successful entrepreneurs, elite athletes, or world-class performers, there’s a common thread woven through their stories. It’s not just the strategy. It’s not the fancy tools, the perfect game plan, or even the years of technical training. It’s their mindset.

Eighty percent of success is mindset. Strategy? That’s only 20%. This isn't just a theory, it's the secret sauce of every high achiever who's ever walked the planet. Your psychology shapes your reality. If your mind isn’t in the right place, even the best strategies in the world will fall flat.

Now here’s the kicker: Neuroscience tells us that we have between 60,000 to 70,000 thoughts a day. That’s a tidal wave of internal chatter. And get this—a whopping 95% of those thoughts are the same as yesterday. Even more staggering? 80% of them are negative. That means most people are living their lives replaying the same disempowering script, over and over again.

No wonder it feels like it is hard to grow, to thrive, to feel fully alive. Most people are living in survival mode, not because their environment is dangerous, but because their mind is.

So, what do you do?

Now go out and create the results you deserve.

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0700

Let’s face it — we’re no longer entering the Age of AI. We’re already knee-deep in it. Artificial Intelligence isn’t coming someday — it’s already transforming how we live, work, and build businesses. And as an entrepreneur, you’ve got two choices: evolve or evaporate.

The Power of Belief: How to Train Your Mind Like a Pro and Win Bigger in Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0700

You’ve got the experience. The systems. The metrics. The goals.

If you’re still waking up some mornings thinking “Am I really the one to take this business to the next level?”, welcome to the club.

The difference between those who plateau at “pretty successful” and those who shatter ceilings usually comes down to one thing: Belief.

Not blind faith. Not woo-woo affirmations taped to the mirror.

I’m talking about a trained, repeatable mindset that shapes your decisions, fuels your confidence, and gets you through the messy middle when logic says “stop” and belief says “keep going.”

This is where athletes, elite performers, and world-class entrepreneurs separate themselves. And you can, too.

Let’s unpack how this will help you be even more successful.

What the Pros Know: Belief Is a System, Not a Feeling

The top athletes in the world don’t just hope they’ll win. They train to believe they will.

Same with elite CEOs and founders. They build belief into their routines like reps in the gym. They don’t wait for motivation to strike, they create mental systems that default to I’ve got this.

The fact is that 80% of success is mental. Yes, EIGHTY, 8-0%!

While just 20% of success is the actual tactics and strategies of business.

95% of our thoughts are the same each day, and on average,

80% of our thoughts are negative!

Now train your belief to match the size of your dream vision.

Let’s break down how to leverage AI in a way that feels like you are adding horsepower to your business, and not another dashboard to babysit. You’ll learn which tools actually move the needle, how to apply them strategically, and what your team might consider using to help your firm be even more successful.

First, Let’s Get One Thing Straight: AI Is a Multiplier

The Power of Choice-How Every Decision Shapes Your Destiny

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0700

Life doesn’t just happen to you—it responds to you. It’s shaped by the decisions you make, every single second of every single day. Some of those choices are monumental, like: Should I take this new business opportunity? Is it time to hire someone—or fire someone? Should I move to a new city to chase my dreams? Other decisions seem small, like: Oatmeal or eggs for breakfast? Workout now or later?

Let me tell you something powerful: every decision you make matters. Every. Single. One. Because the truth is, your destiny is shaped in the moments of decision. When you want to build an extraordinary life, an unstoppable business, and a legacy that outlasts you, you must become a master of your choices.

Here’s what I want you to take away from all of this: You are not a victim of your circumstances. You are a creator of your outcomes. Every choice you make, every habit you lock in, every moment you take full ownership of your life, that’s a vote for the future you want to live.

So, ask yourself:

What decision have I been avoiding?
What’s one upgrade I can make today that aligns with who I want to become?
Who do I need to become to consistently make courageous and value-aligned decisions that will grow my business and make my life even better?

You already have the power. You just have to use it.

Now go out there and choose powerfully. Choose with purpose. Choose to become the entrepreneur, the leader, and the person you were born to be.

Because your destiny isn’t written for you—it’s created by you.

5 Tips to Create a Results-Oriented Culture

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0700

One of the best approaches to be floated over the past few years has been that of a results-oriented work culture. The term itself is quite self-explanatory. It simply means that you have to develop a work culture in your organization that is geared towards achieving results rather than just putting in the time. Of course, this is easier said than done and you have to work hard to implement this approach and get your employees to follow.

Technically speaking, the roots of a results-oriented culture lie in allowing the employees to work as they see fit. Their job is to complete the work assigned to them and achieve the goals you set for them in a specific timeframe. How they do it, when they do it, etc., is up to them. You will only assess their performance based on the results.

In some cases, this approach can work wonders for an employee. For instance, if an employee is unable to work in the conventional 9-to-5 slot because of family or any other commitments, they can complete their work in the evening after the others have gone home. The results matter and that is what that employee will deliver to you. However, you can never be too sure about your employees to be disciplined enough to follow this policy with honesty and diligence.

Let’s explore five tips you can follow to help you create a results-oriented culture in your business.

Follow these 5 tips and you will be able to change your current work environment to one based on results. You may even find better people because they thrive on a results-culture versus the traditional model. In other words, you might need fewer results-oriented people to do the job which means less overhead and more revenue for you and our business. Wouldn’t that be nice?!

7 Ways to Track Your Progress Towards Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0700

Progress tracking is a crucial aspect of growth for any business. To ensure steady and consistent growth, you need to set important goals that take your business activities into consideration.

Business professionals and entrepreneurs are typically hardwired to cross the finish line. To make this journey a successful one, goals are broken into long-term and short-term.

After these goals are broken down, it is important to further crunch them into bite-sized milestones and tasks for easy completion and assessment. To break things down further also drives your need to cross things off a, sometimes too long, to-do list after successful completion.

By tracking your progress, you ensure that all your business activities and decisions are setting you on the right path to your success.

Having key performance indicators (KPIs) / business metrics will help you.

Let’s explore 7 ways to track your progress towards your goals.

Keeping your eyes on the main goal ensures that you can track your progress more effectively and efficiently, and you will have a much higher probability you will achieve your goals in the time frame you desire.

Learn How To Make Better Choices To Be Even More Successful

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0700

You may have heard it said that it is the little things in life that are worth living for. Similarly, the little things in life are what change our lives for the better or worse. The choices we make in life define who we are and what we will eventually become. Certainly, making some rash decisions when we are young can have very ill consequences when we grow older. It is important that people maintain their health with a view to tomorrow, while balancing their desires for the present day. However, this advice also applies to a person’s heart and mind. When we take chances because of our passions or we take action because of our mind’s ambition, we have to live with the result of our actions—good and bad.

They say hindsight is always 20/20 because sometimes we see things in retrospect that we were never capable of seeing years ago. Perhaps we have grown in our perspectives and our understandings of other people. More importantly, we have come to know ourselves.

These are the choices you will have to make. You almost always have a choice.

6 Ways Gratitude Practice Changes You and Your Brain

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0700

Let’s be honest: if you’re already running a seven-figure company, “gratitude” probably isn’t at the top of your to-do list.

You’re busy optimizing systems, scaling teams, and dodging fire drills that pop up out of nowhere. Someone suggests journaling about what you're thankful for, and your brain goes, “Cool. Should I do that between payroll issues and my fifth coffee?”

Here’s the truth: gratitude isn’t some fluffy side dish. It’s a performance enhancer. Not for your muscles, but for your mind, mood, and leadership capacity.

High achievers don’t just practice gratitude because it feels good, they use it because it works.

What Gratitude Actually Does to Your Brain

Now let’s break this down into six specific ways it changes you, and what you can do to bring those benefits into your daily grind.

The best part about gratitude is that it scales with you. Whether you’re running a $300k solo practice or a $10 million operation with multiple teams, this gratitude practice helps you operate from a place of grounded clarity and not just ambition.

So, if you’ve been treating gratitude like a nice-to-have, here’s your permission to make it non-negotiable.

7 Mindsets to Start Your Day Right - The Quest for Daily Discipline

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0700

Discipline: it's not exactly a party in your brain, is it? Most of us would rather hit snooze than rise and grind. But let's face it: those who've mastered the art of self-control seem to effortlessly crush their goals. So, what's their secret? It's not magic; it's mindset.

Highly disciplined people have a knack for starting their days off right. They've swapped those fuzzy morning brain fogs for laser focus and productivity. Let's dive into the seven mindsets that fuel their success right now to help you change or modify your mindset to achieve even greater success.

Highly disciplined people realize that mastering morning routines and self-discipline depends on mindset habits. Their mental perspective upon awakening either sets the tone for empowerment and productivity, or restraint and frustration.

This is not an overnight process, as you know. Like physical fitness, mental strength requires continuous exercise—a commitment to gradually adopting empowering mindsets until they become an automatic habit. To explore more about success habits of the wealthy, go to https://bit.ly/10-Success-Habits.

The reward is days infused with clarity of purpose, resilience towards setbacks, and alignment with your deepest values.

Start small by picking one mindset from these seven to focus on cultivating. Over time, stack them to create mornings that empower you to achieve your wildest dreams.

3 Willpower Principles to Help You Achieve Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 17 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0700

If willpower had a fragrance, it would probably smell like good fresh coffee and victory. It's that almost mystical force that gets you out of bed at 5 a.m., makes you walk past the donut aisle, and helps you say "no" to binge-watching yet another episode of that show everyone keeps talking about. But let’s face it—our willpower isn’t always at 100%. Some days, it feels more like a Wi-Fi signal in a dead zone—unreliable and frustrating.

That’s where these three willpower principles come in. They’re not just motivational quotes slapped on a poster with a picture of a beautiful mountain, they’re practical strategies that work. Ready to crush your goals? Let’s dive in.

Here’s the thing: You don’t need to be perfect to crush your goals. You just need to start. Start small, start messy, start today—but just start. Your future self will high-five you for it.

Ready to take control? Pick one of these 3 willpower principles and put it into action today. Maybe that means setting a clear "why" for your goals, celebrating a tiny win, or streamlining your day to save some willpower for what truly matters most to you. Whatever it is, take the first step because every goal you’ve ever dreamed of starts with one tiny decision. You’ve got this.

Leverage AI to Grow Your Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 10 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0700

Could artificial intelligence be the key to taking your business to the next level? I know the concept of AI can feel overwhelming because there is so much to learn and know. But hear me out here please.

AI has evolved to do incredible things we previously thought only humans could manage. While AI systems aren't actual thinking beings, they can take on repetitive and data-heavy tasks to help us humans work even smarter and faster, and more strategically.

When growing your business, AI can be a game-changing assistant for you. No, it can't replace all human intelligence or creativity. However, it can help break down growth strategies into concrete and executable steps. Let’s explore practical ways to leverage AI to expand your client base, increase sales / revenue, improve operations, and more.

Target Prospects More Precisely

Design Hyper-Personalized Experiences

Chat with Clients 24/7/365

Uncover Actionable Insights

Optimize Workflows

The Power of Starting Small

The key is starting small by initially focusing on 1-2 high-impact areas to apply AI - not overhauling your entire infrastructure overnight. Target specific pain points that automation can alleviate so your team can shift their attention to innovation and long-term growth initiatives rather than constantly playing catch-up in daily fire drills.

How to Make Your Business Truly All About Them

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0700

Take your business to the next level by creating an 'It’s All About Them' (IAAT) experience for clients and prospects. A company that is founded on the IAAT principle will have valuable services right "out of the box."

Ask any successful business owner and entrepreneur, and they will tell you that in order to get new clients and keep the existing ones coming back for more, clients have to trust you, enjoy their experience, and find value in the service or product you’re providing. In other words, it has to be all-about-them.

The desire to make your business all-about-them is the easy part. It’s the creation and implementation of business models that allow you to practice it that may require some trial and error. Making your business all about them will make all the difference and accelerate it to a new level of success.

Take your business to the next level by reviewing all methods of communication with your clients and prospects. By using an all-about-them language in phone conversations, emails, marketing materials and website, clients and prospects will easily be able to relate to the services offered and how they benefit them.

Here are some examples of how a simple shift in language can make all the difference.

It is easy to be unaware of how often you use "I" and "We" language and an important exercise is to record your conversations with clients either by audio or video. By scripting, reviewing, and rehearsing all-about-them language, all your communication will improve and so will your business.

Weapons for Unlocking Your Success: Goals and Accountability

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0700

Think about elite athletes for a moment. Gold medalists, record-breakers – they're not just naturally gifted. Sure, talent helps, but behind every podium finish is a relentless drive, and a meticulous and consistent routine.

A survey conducted by the International Coach Federation shows that over 95% of Olympic athletes rely on a coach to hold them accountable. Additionally, high-powered CEOs share that same mindset. They know that ambition means nothing without follow-through. That's where accountability steps in.

What exactly is accountability?

Why does accountability work?

Choosing Your Accountability Flavor

Research shows that goal-setters with a specific accountability plan are up to 75% more likely to actually achieve them.

6 Tips for Creating a Rock-solid Accountability System

In fact, a study by the American Society of Training and Development found that you have a 65% chance of completing a goal when you commit to someone, and that jumps to 95% when you have ongoing accountability check-ins.

5 Reasons That Commitment to Your Work Matters

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0700

Commitment matters big time. One of the most important reasons to embrace commitment is that you are more likely to achieve goals and adhere to your vision. If you’re not motivated, your staff won’t be motivated. If you don’t have a motivated team, you could lose clients, lose money, and even lose respect in the marketplace.

Commitment to your clients and commitment to your employees are crucial elements to your success. When you’re committed, your employees see that and want to emulate your commitment. If you’re out fishing when you should be working, your employees will not see, or feel, a need to work: “If the boss is off playing, why should we work?” will be their attitude. This isn’t to say you can’t take a vacation.

What are some of the benefits of commitment to work?

What else does commitment bring to your workplace and your life? Here are five benefits:

When you’re 100% committed, the conversation ends. You decide once — and that decision carries you through every challenge, every obstacle, and every excuse. No debate. No hesitation. No ‘Plan B.’

99% commitment is a freaking cop-out. It sounds committed, but it’s not. It’s where your brain leaves the back door open — where excuses sneak in, doubts take root, and momentum stalls. At 99%, you’re still negotiating with yourself: 'Should I do it today? Can I put it off until tomorrow? Maybe it’s not that important right now.' And every time you hesitate, you lose power.

100% commitment is where the breakthroughs happen. It’s where you build real momentum. It’s where you train your mind to expect success instead of just hoping for it.

That 1% gap? It’s deadly. It’s the crack where fear, procrastination, and failure leak in.

Success isn’t for the ‘almost committed.’ It’s reserved for the unstoppable. So shut the door. Burn the boats. Be all in — and watch how fast you change your life.

6 Tips for Better Sleep to Help You Perform Optimally

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 22 May 2025 07:00:00 -0700

Who doesn't love that blissful feeling of waking up after a full night's sleep? When you've rested enough, you feel ready to take on anything - even a Monday morning without coffee! However, we all know that the reality is often far from that. Many of us struggle to get decent shuteye and end up stumbling through our days in a sleep-deprived haze.

How many mornings have you wandered into your kitchen blankly, failing to remember if you already ate breakfast or finding your shoes inexplicably stuffed in the fridge. If this sounds familiar at all, you're definitely not alone. Our go-go-go culture pushes us to hustle hard, stay up late, and cut back on sleep in the name of productivity. But here's the truth: sleep isn't an optional luxury. Failing to get those nightly zzz's can seriously mess with nearly every aspect of your life.

Study after study shows that a lack of sleep hampers our memory, decision-making abilities, and even emotional regulation. No wonder we feel so dazed and confused when we're tired! Your ability to perform at your best relies heavily on consistent, high-quality sleep. Think of it like the fuel that powers your mind and body.

Incorporating even a few of these 6 practical tips can pave the way to better rest.

The truth is that not getting enough sleep is holding you back in ways you might not realize. The effects are sneaky - you may not notice them right away, but over time, the consequences build up.

Want More Success? These 10 Habits Are the Game-Changers You Need

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 01 May 2025 07:00:00 -0700

Let’s start with a little truth bomb: success isn’t about luck, and it sure as heck isn’t about some magical “secret” the world is hiding from you. It’s about habits—daily, consistent actions that goal achievers master to get them where they want to be. As Aristotle said, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."

I know I know—habits can sound a little boring. Like, why can’t success be more glamorous, like sipping cocktails on a beach while casually inventing the next iPhone? But the truth is, the real magic is in the small actions that successful people do over and over again. Ready to find out what those are? Buckle up. Here you go…

So, there you have it—10 habits that goal achievers use to crush it, day in and day out. It’s not rocket science, it’s about dedication, consistency, and showing up for yourself. These habits aren’t reserved for a select few; they’re ations anyone can develop with a little focus and commitment.

10 Lessons to Learn from Successful Entrepreneurs

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0700

According to Joe Haslam, a professor at IE Business School, 'Entrepreneurship is a way of life that you learn by doing.' The fact is that becoming a successful entrepreneur doesn't come naturally, for most people, and it doesn’t come easy either.

Entrepreneurs who start their businesses are armed only with bright ideas, innovation, and buckets full of passion. Yet, learning how to run a thriving and prospering business takes quite a long time. Entrepreneurs don't have a structured organization, aren't typically backed with capital, or have a strong team, in many cases.

Therefore, entrepreneurs face various unique challenges during their ventures. These challenges set entrepreneurs up for success, help them create a legacy, and leave behind colorful and illuminating survival stories.

Some entrepreneurs make their way to the top through trial and error and others with luck. But what all successful entrepreneurial business owners have is perseverance. They, in many cases, didn't pick practical business skills through education; instead, they learned them through experience along the way.

To help you avoid roadblocks and setbacks, let’s explore 10 essential business lessons you need to learn from successful entrepreneurs.

Without these essential lessons, it's unlikely you'll be as successful as you dreamed of being. If you're planning to develop your business and succeed, you must consistently follow the essential lessons that I just shared with you.

The Power of Belief - How Mindset Fuels Your Potential

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 07:00:00 -0700

Let me tell you a story about Emma because I think you can learn something to help you create your ideal business and ideal life.

Emma had dreamed of starting her own baking business since she was 10 years old, mixing cupcakes in her mom's kitchen. After college, she decided it was time. She rented a small storefront, took out some loans, and dove in headfirst to opening her bakery, "Emma's Sweets."

Those first few months were rough. Business was slow, and Emma started having doubts. She wondered if she had made a huge mistake trying to run her own company. She was close to throwing in the towel.

But Emma had one thing going for her - a steadfast belief that things would work out. She believed in herself and her talents, even when the road got rocky. So, she kept tweaking her recipes, connecting with clients, and improving her marketing.

Because of her strong belief, something shifted. Word started spreading about Emma's legendary carrot cake and melt-in-your-mouth lemon tarts. Clients started lining up outside the door. Before she knew it, Emma was running a booming business with ideas for expansion.

Emma's story illustrates the massive impact our beliefs have on our outcomes. Belief shapes our actions, resilience, and what we attract. It creates a snowball effect that can build incredible momentum.

But where does this belief come from? And how exactly does it shape our potential? Let's break it down.

80% of success is mindset and 20% is strategy!

3 Tips to Overcome Your Limiting Beliefs and Achieve Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 07:00:00 -0800

Ahhh, the good ol’ catchphrase: Believe in yourself.

If only it were that simple, right?

I know. This expression may feel cliché. But it’s worth looking closer at your belief system to better understand how it impacts your goals and your goal achievement. After all, your beliefs, both positive and negative, will affect your confidence and overall job performance. This, in turn, affects your ability to achieve your goals. To begin, we must consider where our belief system originates.

Throughout our lives, we’ve acquired a belief system—whether we’re aware of it or not. In fact, science tells us that our beliefs are mostly formed by the time we’re 7 years old. They’re ingrained into our mind, and honestly, we usually don’t stop to question them.

And that might be where the problem lies. Even though you’ve grown into a successful adult, your beliefs today may reflect your beliefs as a child. When you don’t recognize and overcome these types of limiting beliefs, or false beliefs that keep you from pursuing your goals and desires, you’re actually hindering your own personal and professional growth.

Routine Mastery: The Unexpected Key to Achieving Your Goals Even Faster

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 07:00:00 -0800

Ever feel like you're spinning your wheels, busy all day but not getting any closer to your main goals? It's irritating, and all too often. Here's the deal: how you spend your time ultimately affects what you accomplish. The idea is to work smarter rather than harder, and a well-designed regimen can be the key to help you do this.

Consider your routine to be the unseen scaffolding that holds your life together. Daily behaviors, no matter how minor, can lead to significant effects and could keep you frustratedly stranded.

Let’s explore three steps to help you make your own routine, so you can more quickly achieve your goals.

According to studies, persons who have strong routines report higher levels of well-being and lower stress levels. Why? Because you feel in control and making progress, and that emotion of success is in itself a tremendous reward.

Tips for Staying On Track

Wouldn’t it be great if our ‘good intentions’ worked the way that we think they should?

Good intentions don’t magically lead to good results. They are a start; however, they are unfortunately not enough. This is just the truth! The bottom line is that your Accountability Coach holds you accountable to follow through with your “good intentions”.

Building a routine that supports your goals isn't about restricting your life – it's about unlocking more freedom. It's about having the time, energy, and focus to pursue the things that truly matter.

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 13 Feb 2025 07:00:00 -0800

Successful people are just like that. They've got this internal fire that burns bright, constantly pushing them toward their biggest goals – no matter what challenges get in their way.

Think of these habits as fuel for your fire. Get enough of them going, with real purpose, and BOOM! You're basically transforming yourself into an unstoppable powerhouse.

Let’s break down 15 of those must-have habits that will make you feel unstoppable. Consider yourself officially armed with the tools to stoke that inner fire and become the kind of person who achieves the extraordinary!

Out of all these awesome 15 habits, which one feels like it could seriously level up your life? Don't overthink it – just go with your gut. Maybe it's waking up earlier or becoming a ruthless prioritizer.

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 07:00:00 -0800

As a business owner, you know that success comes from having the right mindset and tools. Visualization is one of the most powerful tools you can use to achieve your goals and overcome obstacles. By imagining your ideal life and business, you can create a roadmap for success that will help you stay focused and motivated.

The power of visualization cannot be overstated. When used effectively, visualization can help you clarify your goals, overcome challenges, and manifest your desires into reality. In my Power of Visualization Guidebook, we will explore the benefits of visualization and provide you with practical tips for incorporating the power of visualization into your business and life strategy.

Many billionaires do imagination work every day. They imagine what they want for a few minutes every single day as a consistent habit. You can do the exact same thing to help you accelerate your results in business and in life.

Seasoned athletes use vivid, highly detailed internal images and run-throughs of the entire performance, engaging all their senses in their mental rehearsal, and they combine their knowledge of the sports venue with mental rehearsal.

Join the Elite 8%: Goal Setting for the Win

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 07:00:00 -0800

If you’re a list-maker, you know there’s nothing like checking items off when complete. In fact, a rush of endorphins floods your brain! The neurotransmitter dopamine produces satisfaction and happiness, making you feel accomplished and propelling you to get even more done.

But first, you have to actually create that to-do list, which, for some people, can feel like a massive undertaking. After all, making a list (which is really a form of setting goals) requires thinking through many elements, including the following:

Deciding what needs to be done
Determining how to prioritize
Forcing ourselves to be very specific
Breaking jobs/activities down into smaller steps
Scheduling times to check our progress
Holding ourselves accountable
Knowing when to say no

If you’re feeling overwhelmed after listening to what I just said, you’re not alone! In actuality, science tells us that only 8% of people meet their goals. That means 92% of people don’t. Those are some pretty dismal statistics, but I have hope to offer you. My objective is to help you understand the power of goal setting and why it’s a critical habit for you and your career.

What’s the Secret?

Effective Goal Setting and Achievement - Your Roadmap to Entrepreneurial Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 07:00:00 -0800

Andrew was six months into his freelance career. He was hustling nonstop and felt busy all the time, but his bank account and sanity were headed in the wrong direction. Sound familiar? It turns out that the problem wasn't a lack of grit but a lack of goals. See, if you don't know where you're going, any road seems like the right one – until you're lost and exhausted.

Forget that "fake it 'til you make it" nonsense. Success isn't about pretending you've got it all figured out. What is the real power move here? Getting strategic. Goals aren't about making you a corporate drone.

They're about harnessing that entrepreneurial drive, so you actually build the business you dream of. Think of it as the difference between throwing darts blindfolded and taking careful aim. Ready to get started?

Look, hustle is in your entrepreneur's DNA. You don't sit around waiting for inspiration, do you? However, there's a big difference between being busy and making progress. That's the power of goal setting.

Think of them like a GPS for your business. Sure, you can wander and hope you find something cool, or you can program in where you want to go and follow the turn-by-turn directions, so you have a higher probability to have your ideal business and life in the time you desire.

10 Reasons Goals Fail and What You Can Do to Achieve Yours

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 09 Jan 2025 07:00:00 -0800

Okay, let's be honest – we've all done it. Set those super ambitious goals, felt that rush of excitement, and imagined ourselves crossing the finish line triumphantly. You know, the whole "New Year, New Me" thing? But then…cue record scratch.

A few weeks, maybe a couple of months in, and it's like that motivation vanished overnight. What happened?

Don't worry, you're not alone. I see it all the time with entrepreneurs: big dreams, huge plans, and then… it fizzles out. So, here's the thing… it doesn't have to be this way. There's a reason goals fail, and by understanding those pitfalls, you can totally smash your business and personal targets.

Let's break this down into 10 reasons goals fail and what you can do to achieve yours.

You've got this! Goal setting is a skill, and like any skill, it gets better with practice. Be kind to yourself as you learn and grow. Remember, even small steps in the right direction are progress, and it is about progress and not perfection.

This isn't just about achieving a single goal. It's about building a habit of success, a mindset that empowers you to reach your full potential as an entrepreneur. Now, go out there and crush your goals!

Happy New Year! Let’s kick some butt in 2025!

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 07:00:00 -0800

“What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year.” I think this is a great quote by Vern McLellan.

It’s a brand-new year—365 days filled with tons of possibilities and opportunties! The truth is, we all get the same amount of time each year. The only thing that sets the extraordinary apart from the average is how they choose to invest each moment. Every second is either pushing you closer to your dreams or keeping you where you are. So ask yourself—are your actions today setting you up to win tomorrow?"

Here’s to a year of health, happiness, and prosperity. Make 2025 your best year yet!

Sleep-A Non-Negotiable Biological Necessity

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 07:00:00 -0800

We all get that sleep-deprived feeling sometimes– fuzzy brain, grumpy mood, and the desperate need for another (or a fourth) cup of coffee. But what Susan and millions of others experience goes far beyond a rough morning. Sleep isn't a luxury; it's a biological necessity for maximum effectiveness.

According to the CDC, a staggering 1 in 3 adults don't get enough sleep on a regular basis. We sacrifice sleep for work, for social lives, and for squeezing a bit more into each day. However, with every hour we shave off our sleep time, we chip away at our health, our minds, and our potential.

What Happens When We Sleep (and When We Don't)

Let’s review four tips for better sleep to help you ncrease your success now.

Real, sustainable success depends on a well-rested, sharp mind. Think about it this way: If you were an athlete, would you try to compete on zero recovery time? Of course not! Think of sleep as your mental and physical training recovery. Those who prioritize sleep actually come out ahead in the long game.

Sleep as Self-Care

Getting enough sleep isn't selfish; it's essential self-care. Think of it like filling your cup so you have something to pour out to others.

When we're well-rested, we have more energy, patience, and a brighter outlook. This ripples outwards, improving our relationships, our work, and the way we feel about ourselves in the world.

If only we had the ability to split ourselves into several pieces so we could get more done. Unfortunately, we’re quite limited in what we can accomplish on our own. That’s where the delegation comes in.

Not only is delegation very important for lightening your own workload, it’s actually more beneficial for your company when you focus on your strengths and delegate the rest to your team members. It can create an environment of learning and ensures you’re providing the best service and products to your clients and prospective clients by choosing the best person for the job.

Why It’s Hard to Delegate

Delegation Allows You to Be Proactive, Not Reactive

Delegation Empowers Team Members

Types of Tasks to Delegate

How to Delegate Effectively

To help you be even more effective and efficient, so you can achieve your goals at an accelerated rate, you can delegate more to your team members than you have or might think possible. Stop holding on to things that can be done by someone else and do only those activities that you can do and can’t be done by anyone else. Stop doing revenue generation / business development avoidance activities and delegate more! Successful people are excellent delegators, so work at being an even better delegator and be even more successful.

3 Tips for Mastering Life Outside Your Comfort Zone

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 05 Dec 2024 07:00:00 -0800

We all have fears that stop us from stepping into our true potential. It’s what we’ve come to call the comfort zone - the place where fear is minimized to allow for daily life functioning. But we don’t always realize just how much we give up for the sake of that comfort.

In an effort to minimize our greatest fears we can be sacrificing our heart’s deepest desires. In the name of comfort, we sacrifice potential.

So, how do we move through our terrifying fears to break free of limitations and embrace our true potential?

I consistently hear my business owner clients say things like, I have call reluctance and just can’t call anyone, I can’t ask for referrals, If I get one referral that would be amazing, I’m not good at _____, I can’t do ____, I don’t do ____ very well, and the list goes on and on.

When you say words about what you aren’t good at or what you don’t want, you are reinforcing this and getting those outcomes (most likely). It is like the definition of insanity – you are saying the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result – and that just isn’t going to happen.

When you say you can do something, and focus on what you want to happen, it has a much higher probability that you will manifest those outcomes in your life.

Let’s explore 3 tips that can help you master life outside your comfort zone.

The problem here is that most of the time you don’t even know about the limiting beliefs you have. The key is to find a way to change our mindset, so you can figure out a way to identify the limiting beliefs. Download my Guidebook, How To Change Limiting Beliefs We Don't Even Know We Have, by going to https://bit.ly/UnawareOfBeliefs.

Why Can't I Stay Consistent?

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 07:00:00 -0800

Today we are talking about how to Turn a Lack of Self-Discipline and Willpower into Success and Fulfillment by being more Consistent.

“I'll start tomorrow.” “Just this one time won't hurt.” “I'm too tired.” We've all uttered these phrases at some point, battling the inner tug-of-war between our aspirations and actions. The struggle for self-discipline and willpower is universal, often leaving us wondering, “Why can't I stay consistent?”

The good news is, this isn't a life sentence. Understanding the issue's root and implementing practical strategies can and will transform this struggle into a catalyst for personal growth and lasting fulfillment for you.

Self-discipline and willpower are like muscles – they can be strengthened with training; however, they also get tired. Researchers have found that self-control relies on a limited resource in the brain, which gets depleted with use. This explains why resisting that tempting donut becomes harder throughout the day.

What makes some people seemingly more “disciplined” than others? It's not just about innate willpower. It's about understanding your triggers, setting realistic goals (with a bit of a stretch), and having strategies to overcome obstacles.

Our path to self-discipline is often littered with hidden roadblocks that trip us up before we even realize it. Let's unveil five of the most common culprits right now.

Remember, progress – no matter how small – is still progress. Celebrate your wins, learn from your setbacks, and never lose sight of the incredible potential that lies within you.

Ever Feel Like Time Slips Through Your Fingers?

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 07:00:00 -0800

“Time management.” We toss that phrase around like it's some magic solution to our problems. But let's be real – who among us hasn't felt the panicked scramble when deadlines loom or the sinking feeling as we waste hours staring at the ceiling (or scrolling through social media posts looking at the cute dogs and cats) instead of doing something productive?

I know I have!

The thing is, everyone talks about being organized and focused; however, it's more complicated than just slapping some dates into a fancy planner. True time management is a skill, one you've got to learn and consistently practice, like playing the guitar or learning to bake the perfect lasagna.

So, Where Do I Even Start?

The first step is figuring out where those precious hours actually go. Picture yourself as a time detective, uncovering how your minutes turn into hours that turn into days.

Download my complimentary Time Log Exercise to help you and your team members be even more time efficient, so you are in a higher probability position to achieve your goals by going to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/time-log/.

This is about awareness, not about beating yourself up. Time management isn't about perfection, but it is about seeing things clearly so you can make even better choices.

The Psychology of High Achievers and How to Apply it In Your Life

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 07 Nov 2024 07:00:00 -0800

Have you ever wondered what separates high achievers from the rest of us? A recent study by Stanford University found that 90% of high performers attribute their success to a strong work ethic and a goal-oriented mindset rather than raw talent or luck.

While those things can play a role, the real key to their success lies in their mindset and habits – things the rest of us can absolutely learn from. So, let’s explore nine concepts high achievers apply in their life and how you can apply them in your life.

High Achievers are Made, Not Born

The most important thing to remember is that success isn't an accident. While talent plays a role, real Trailblazers are driven by consistent action and mindset shifts.

They prioritize progress over perfection. So, the next time you feel that internal criticism rise up, remember that go-getters have those thoughts, too, and they choose to act in spite of them.

Embracing the psychology of a go-getter doesn't guarantee overnight success. However, it does equip you with the tools to consistently move towards your goals, embrace the journey, and build a more fulfilling life. Remember, it's not about becoming someone else, it’s about being the best version of yourself.

Happy Halloween

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 09:00:00 -0700

Because we all can use some levity in our lives, I thought I’d share a Halloween poem with you.

I Don't Believe In Spooks And Demons by Paul Curtis

I don't believe in spooks and demons
I think that should be understood
But there are always more trick-or-treaters
Than there are kids in the neighborhood

How about a few funny Halloween jokes…

Question: What’s a ghost’s favorite ride at the carnival? Answer: The roller ghoster,

Q: When does a ghost have breakfast? A: In the moaning.

Q: What did the Mommy ghost say to the baby ghost? A: Don’t spook until you’re spoken to.

Q: What is a Skeleton’s favorite song? A: Bad to the Bone.

Have a Happy Halloween!

10 Success Habit Secrets of the Wealthy (That Won’t Break the Bank)

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 17 Oct 2024 07:00:00 -0700

We've all seen the flashy headlines: million-dollar boats, private aircraft, and other forms of luxury that most of us can only dream of. But is this the true secret to long-term wealth?

It turns out that how you think and operate is more important than how much you spend. Many of the most powerful habits maintained by the ultra-successful are low-cost to implement and yield spectacular results over time. Let's peek behind the curtain, shall we?

Being wealthy is not about luck or overnight success (as social media may lead you to believe). It is about taking consistent, purposeful action, and developing habits that will position you for long-term success. Is that to say it's easy?

Absolutely not. Does this mean that it is accessible to everybody willing to put in the effort? Absolutely. So, what's stopping you? Choose one habit, start small, and stay committed. The type of accomplishment that transforms your business and life is entirely within reach.

12 Things Successful People Do Every Day to Stay Productive

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 07:00:00 -0700

Sarah was tired. Not just regular tired, but the bone-deep exhaustion that gnawed at her focus. She juggled a demanding startup, two kids, and a nagging sense that her to-do list grew faster than she could check things off. It was like running a marathon where the finish line kept vanishing into the distance.

One afternoon, during a frenzied attempt to find an important email buried in an inbox avalanche, she stumbled upon an interview with a tech CEO famous for her laser-sharp productivity.

The CEO didn't talk about crazy tricks or endless all-nighters. She spoke of small, consistent habits that gave her the mental space to tackle major challenges. Sarah thought, "If it works for her, maybe it could help me too."

Does Sarah's overwhelm sound familiar to you at all?

We all want to feel on top of our game, not just surviving, but truly thriving in our careers and personal lives. However, sometimes it feels like there simply aren't enough hours in the day. The good news is, productivity isn't about working harder; it's about working even smarter, as we have heard time and time again.

Let’s dive into the lives of successful people – from innovative entrepreneurs to world-class athletes – and discover what certain daily practices set them apart from everyone else. I'm not talking about crazy bio hacks or superhero willpower. These are simple and actionable habits anyone can use to reclaim their time and boost their results.

Shiny Object Syndrome: The Productivity Thief We All Battle (And How to Win)

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 07:00:00 -0700

Look, you know how it feels...like an itch under your skin. You're working on a project, making good progress, and then BAM! Someone swears by a new tool, or that side hustle concept your friend is gushing about suddenly appears to be far superior to what you're doing. The next thing you know, your perfectly set plans are accumulating dust as you spin your wheels with whatever dazzling object piques your interest.

We have all been there. It's called shiny object syndrome (SOS), and it's more than just an annoyance; it's a stealthy saboteur of goals, desires, and, let's be honest, our mental health also. The allure of the new, the promise of the next big thing—it's powerful stuff! But, the reality is, SOS isn't about the item; it's about what we want that new thing to fix.

Why Do Those Shiny Objects Have Us Hooked?

Shiny Object Syndrome Fallout is More Than Just a Distraction

Here's what nobody tells you about shiny object syndrome: it's not just about wasted time. Chasing every bright light wreaks havoc on more than your to-do list and here are four areas that get negatively impacted.

How do You Fight Shiny Temptations, without Going Full-On Hermit?

Let’s explore six anti-shiny object action plan items to help you consistently make progress on your goals, so you can have your ideal business and ideal life.

Progress rarely moves in a straight line. Some days, you'll crush it; others, you'll stumble. But every small win over a distraction, every time you choose your long-term goals over a fleeting temptation, that's where the true growth happens. Be patient with yourself, and keep striving to master your focus, so you can enjoy having your ideal business and ideal life.

How Olympians Set and Achieve Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 07:00:00 -0700

Grace's alarm blared at 4:30 AM. Ugh. Most people were still sound asleep, when she dragged herself out of bed, pulled on her training gear, and headed out into the predawn chill. After two hours of grueling sprints in the rain later, she trudged home, exhausted and oddly exhilarated.

As she ate breakfast, her mind wandered to the poster above her desk: the Olympic rings, a symbol she'd stared at almost every day for the past six years. Was it worth it? The missed parties, the aching muscles, the endless sacrifices? Of course, she told herself. To stand on that Olympic podium? Nothing in the world would compare.

We may not all dream of Olympic gold, but there's something we can learn from athletes like Grace. The single-minded focus, the ability to break down daunting goals, and the resilience to bounce back from setbacks aren't superpowers reserved only for elite competitors.

Whether you dream of running your first marathon, landing that big deal, or finally mastering a new language, how Olympians approach goals can help us tackle the challenges in our lives.

Why Olympic-Level Goal Setting Matters

Sure, reaching the Olympics is a monumental feat for some. If that's not your ambition, the goal setting process is still transformative. You'll build discipline, discover hidden strengths, and perhaps even surprise yourself with your capabilities. So, what's your Everest? It's time to start climbing!

See, the secret to big changes isn't in crazy life overhauls. It's about those small, super-consistent habits that work their magic slowly but surely, like how a little seed turns into a giant, beautiful tree. Think of these 10-minute habits as planting those super-important life seeds. Let's dive into nine awesome and easy habits you can do each day for positive changes in your life.

Don't let the search for grand transformations distract you from the power of tiny steps.

We often get obsessed with the big picture of the end goal and feel paralyzed by the distance. Massive changes don't happen overnight. They result from those almost invisible daily improvements, the little actions strung together consistently over time.

This concept applies to everything—health, relationships, careers. Imagine losing weight not with a drastic diet but with small, sustainable eating changes and 10 minutes of daily exercise.

Or fixing a troubled relationship not with a single big gesture but with tiny acts of kindness and communication daily. That's the magic of these micro-habits—they're achievable, they're sneaky, and they add up in ways you wouldn't expect.

How to Break the Cycle: 6 Stages for Changed Behavior and Achieved Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 07:00:00 -0700

One of the most difficult challenges of sticking to your goals personally and professionally is changing your behavior. Goals like improving your health, reaching a milestone, or revising daily routines aren’t easy. In fact, studies show that our brains don’t like change, are wired for laziness, and have a limited capacity. Ouch! And we often fail because we don’t practice the correct steps.

As with any process, there’s an order to follow. For example, when administering first aid, it’s vital to work sequentially. Before caring for an injured or ill person, you should obviously call for help. Then you check for breathing and a pulse to determine if CPR is needed. Next, if a wound is present, you must attempt to protect yourself from bloodborne pathogens before trying to stop the bleeding.

Or let’s say you’re painting a room in your house. Obviously, you need to choose your paint color (will it be Arizona Dust? Blissful Blue? Soft Candlelight? Gallery Gray?) and purchase the proper amount. You should then prepare the area. You’ll likely move furniture, tape off the trim, and cover the floor with a drop cloth. After all, you wouldn’t want to open that fresh can of paint on an unprotected carpet! Putting in the time for preparation saves you a big headache (and extensive clean-up) later on.

Likewise, there are steps to changing behavior in order to successfully reach your goals. Let’s take a closer look at what’s required.

How to Make Great Business Decisions by Thinking Fast and Slow

Anne Bachrach — Wed, 28 Aug 2024 07:00:00 -0700

As a business owner, you’re constantly on the move. There are a million things that constantly need your attention and you’re making decisions left and right. Moving fast is just a way of life.

Making quick decisions, however, is not necessarily the same as making good decisions.

When you dive into cognitive psychology and economics, you’ll discover that there is an actual science behind the act of decision-making. The ideas of fast and slow thinking as two different modes of thought, were first described in Daniel Kahneman’s book Thinking, Fast and Slow.

According to Daniel, we have a two-system way of thinking: Thinking Fast (System 1) and Thinking Slow (System 2). Keep listening for more on how to recognize these systems within yourself, and how harnessing the power of each one can help improve the quality of the decisions that you make.

Thinking Fast (System 1)

An easy way to think of System 1 is that it is your gut reaction to experiences in your life. It is arguably the stronger of the two systems, and we tend to default to thinking fast, or reacting quickly, before moving on to a slower processing of events.

Thinking Slow (System 2)

System 2 is the slower, more thoughtful sibling to System 1.

While System 1 is the younger sibling who screams “Let’s go!” and jumps off a roof into the pool because it seems fun, System 2 is the more responsible older sibling who takes time to assess the risks of jumping off of the roof and decides it’s probably better not to do it.

Apply Fast and Slow Thinking to Your Business

Your Dream Team Blueprint: Strategies to Building a High-Performance Team

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 07:00:00 -0700

Every successful entrepreneur knows that a business is only as strong as its people. Surrounding yourself with top-notch "A players" is not just nice to have; it's a non-negotiable factor for you achieving your goals and making a lasting impact. As Jack Welch famously put it, "If you pick the right people... you almost don't have to manage them.”

However, in today's competitive job market, attracting and keeping those talented individuals takes more than just a good salary and a ping pong table in the break room.

Think of top talent like buried treasure. Successful entrepreneurs have mastered the art of finding the treasure, onboarding the crew to dig it up, and ensuring the ship stays happily sailing to its destination. Let's break down their strategies into five main steps:

Building an unstoppable team of 'A' players is an ongoing journey, not a one-time task. Continuously refine your recruitment and retention strategies to attract top talent. By doing so, you'll not only gain a crucial competitive advantage, you will also position your company as the premier destination for the most talented professionals eager to advance their careers. This commitment to excellence is what sets great companies apart from good ones.

Think and Talk Yourself into Success Like a Navy SEAL

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 01 Aug 2024 07:00:00 -0700

Okay, let's be honest – we all want that little extra edge in life, right? That unwavering determination that helps you get things done, no matter what.

Well, guess what? Navy SEALs have that grit in spades, and the good news is that you can actually learn a thing or two from them. It's about how you think and talk to yourself!

Mental Toughness: It's Not Just for Battlefields

We tend to think of Navy SEALs as superhuman warriors, and they can be pretty darn tough out in the field, that’s for sure. What really sets them apart is their mental resilience.

It's about pushing through discomfort, fear, and doubt to keep going even when you want to quit. That kind of toughness is a game-changer in any area of life.

Let’s explore 5 steps to help you think and talk to yourself like a Navy Seal.

Okay, let's get real for a minute. Changing your mindset and self-talk patterns doesn't happen overnight, especially if you're used to being negative which many people are by nature. It's like a muscle – you must train it consistently to strengthen it.

80% of success is mindset and 20% is strategy!

95% of our thoughts are the same each day, and on average, 80% of our thoughts are negative!

Your Turn to Take Action

Remember, adopting the Navy SEAL mindset isn't about becoming a different person. It's about unlocking the potential that's already within you. You've got the grit and determination – now it's time to unleash it.

8 Common Behaviors of All Successful Entrepreneurs

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 18 Jul 2024 07:00:00 -0700

Entrepreneurs are extremely driven and have a knack for getting what they want. Though they’re often under immense pressure and juggle multiple responsibilities, the best entrepreneurs seem to handle everything with grace while still coming out on top. So, what types of behaviors allow them to get ahead and win that we can implement?

Let’s explore eight habits that successful entrepreneurs swear by. Whether you’re just beginning your entrepreneurial journey or find yourself questioning your next move, you can find inspiration and direction from these eight habits.

Nearly half (42.6%) of entrepreneurs fear failure, despite evidence that business owners need to be comfortable with failure and learn from the experience. This fear of not succeeding is what’s detrimental to businesses, not the failure itself. The fear of failure is obviously bad for your business, so you need to quickly learn to overcome it.

How an entrepreneur deals with failure impacts how their direct reports bounce back from them also.

Unlock the CEO Within and Master Essential Leadership Habits Today!

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 07:00:00 -0700

Entrepreneurship involves a unique blend of relentless passion, calculated risk, and a healthy dose of self-belief. However, to take that initial spark of an idea and transform it into a truly thriving, scalable enterprise requires something more: Efficiency. It's about maximizing your use of that most valuable resource – time.

According to a study by the Kauffman Foundation, only about 25% of startups actually survive beyond seven years. A key reason? Lack of focus and inefficient use of time by the founders.

The Power of Focus: Identifying Your Highest Payoff Activities

Let’s explore how to put this concept into practice.

The 3-Step Activity Audit

Delegation: The Art of Leveraging Your Team

If you want to grow, you can't do it alone. The ability to delegate well is a hallmark of impactful CEOs. In fact, a study by McKinsey & Company found that CEOs who spend more time on delegation and empowerment see a 20% increase in revenue growth.

This doesn't mean surrendering all control; it's about strategic empowerment and leveraging the talent around you. Successful delegation follows four key steps:

Break Free from Limiting Mindsets - The Power of Belief

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 20 Jun 2024 07:00:00 -0700

Let's be brutally honest for a moment: success, the kind that earns you those extra zeroes in your annual income, is rarely accidental. In fact, less than 3% of American adults earn over $250,000 annually.

It requires a relentless drive, a willingness to take calculated risks, and a powerful belief system. Whether you realize it or not, your beliefs create your reality.

That internal voice whispering, "You can do it", or the nagging saboteur telling you, "That's impossible"...those are beliefs in action. And if you're ready to take your already successful business to the next level, it's time for a mindset audit.

Decode the "Mega Successful" Success Mindset That Sets Them Apart

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 13 Jun 2024 07:00:00 -0700

We've all wondered: What makes those seemingly unstoppable entrepreneurs, innovators, and industry leaders tick? Is it luck, some inborn brilliance, or ruthless ambition?

The truth is, while individual personalities vary, the "mega successful" often share specific thinking habits that fuel their extraordinary achievements. Let's break them down into five habits.

Key Takeaway: You Can Train Your Brain for Success

Think about it: You go to the gym to build muscle, right? Your mindset is the same. It takes work, but you absolutely can strengthen the habits that drive your success. Don't get discouraged if you don't feel like a "natural" visionary or fearless risk-taker right now. Start small!

· Just One Thing

Pick one of these five habits that feels the most challenging for you. Don't overwhelm yourself working to change everything at once.

· Baby Steps Are Powerful

Let's say it's fear of failure. Your first step might be simply reframing a small setback as "data," instead of letting it derail you for days.

· Track Your Wins

Keep a "Success Journal." Even small mindset shifts deserve celebration. Seeing your progress reinforces the power of these changes.

This isn't some overnight magic trick. However, with consistent, intentional practice, you'd be surprised how quickly your perspective, decisions, and ultimately, your results start to shift. You're training your brain for the big leagues!

Unlock the Secrets and Boost Your Business with AI Today!

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 06 Jun 2024 07:00:00 -0700

Okay, let's be clear: AI isn't a magic wand that transforms potential clients into adoring fans who will buy anything you throw at them. People can detect inauthenticity from a mile away. However, leveraging those advanced algorithms and data-crunching capabilities correctly can be a game changer for your firm. It's about striking the ideal mix between technological efficiency and true human connection.

Think of AI as a super-intelligent, lightning-fast marketing helper. The one who sifts through mountains of data you never had time for, identifies patterns you didn't notice, and even assists you in crafting messages that emotionally resonate with your audience. Sounds good? Let's plunge in!

But… Robots Can’t Do “Human,” Right?

This is where your unique touch comes in. AI can inform you, but you’re the one bringing the warmth because of three unique human aspects you provide:

The Secret Ingredient: You!

Let’s now explore four tips for making all this AI stuff actually work for your business:

AI is a powerful addition to your marketing toolkit, but ultimately, it's your ability to connect with people on an emotional level that will seal the deal and propel your business forward!

AI is your super-powered assistant, but you're still the marketing strategist making the big decisions. What's one area of your marketing you'd love to gain deeper insights into? Is it social media engagement, website behavior, or customer preferences? Commit to researching AI tools to help unlock that data and transform your approach, so you can be on the path to creating your ideal business and enjoying your ideal life.

8 Ideas for Getting Things Done…The Right Way

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 23 May 2024 07:00:00 -0700

We all want more success and the fear of failure can often be the driving force of our actions. We work long hours, sacrifice personal time, and even sleep. We put our heart and soul into what we're trying to achieve, only to find that we're spinning our wheels. We think we're getting things done, because at the end of the day all of our Action List items are crossed out; but did we really get closer to achieving our goals? The fact is, most of us accomplish a whole list of things by the end of the day, but have little to show for it. Your success depends on what you are doing and the way you are getting things done. If you're not moving closer to your goal achievement, you are not getting things done the right way.

The good news is - getting things done the right way requires only a simple shift in your actions. There are only two ways of getting things done; one way leads to your success, while the other keeps you in the same position you're in right now. There is no in between. Getting things done right comes down to taking actions that support your forward progress and success. If you feel like you've been spinning your wheels, you probably have been. You might be getting things done, but your actions have been sabotaging your success. You end up working twice as hard, only to stay in the same place.

Getting things done the right way, can take you from spinning your wheels to; creating more time, expending less effort, reducing frustration, and moving you closer to your goals with every single action. This is possible because success relies on one principle: success takes successful actions.

Let’s explore eight ideas to help you get things done… the right way.

6 Habits to Help You Build a Better Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 16 May 2024 07:00:00 -0700

The most successful businesses globally are run by high-performing entrepreneurs with habits that ensure high performance and maximum productivity in their work lives.

What propels their successes are the habits they have cultivated and disciplined themselves to stick to throughout their lives.

Your habits have an undeniable connection to your success in business. These habits have a connection with how you think, how you feel, how you respond to positive and negative emotions and occurrences.

As a high-performing professional or business owner, you need to cultivate the right habits to lead you on the path to greater success. The habits you cultivate should also position you as a leader in your business while encouraging others, your employees, and maybe even your competitors, to emulate you.

Though these habits are those of successful entrepreneurs, simply cultivating these habits and doing nothing to evolve and manage your business effectively won’t change your business.

You have to put in the work required to ensure that you achieve your goals. Consistent application of these habits will help you transform your lifestyle and build a better business that sets you on the path to enjoying your ideal business and ideal life.

Applying these 6 habits will help you build an even better business.

Pick one of these six habits to help you get started on building an even better business. Then, pick a second one, and so on.

20 Smart Answers for SMART Goal Setting

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 02 May 2024 07:00:00 -0700

We have all heard about SMART goal setting. In days gone by, business leaders adopted a set of principles to sustain business growth and achieve goals. These principles were known as SMART goals – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-based.

While many corporate giants now believe these principles to be somewhat archaic and not relevant in today’s dynamic, less structured business world, SMART goals can be expanded and revised to suitably fit our current business philosophies. Let’s break this down and delve into each one now.

S is for “Specific”

Creating specific goals is no less relevant today than it was 20 or more years ago.

But let’s ramp it up by adding Stimulating, Systematic, Synergy, and Self-talk to the list of “S” words.

M is for “Measurement”

In the SMART goal principle, M is for “measureable”, but it can also stand for motivation, memorable, and meaningful.

A is for “Achievable”

Sure, setting achievable goals is a key factor in ensuring the success of your goal strategy, but what about Action Plan, Articulate, and Acknowledge?

R is for “Relevant”

Sure, keeping your goals relevant is a high priority, but so is Re-invention and Resolve.

T is for “Time-Based”

Goals consist of two basic components – the end result and the time it will take you to achieve that end result. So, creating time-based goals is a crucial factor. But so are words like Tactical and Thought-provoking.

4 Forms of Accountability You Need in Your Life to Accelerate Your Goal Achievement

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 11 Apr 2024 07:00:00 -0700

Accountability is more than just a friend that calls you up occasionally to make sure you’re sticking to your weight loss goals. It’s also more than the occasional roundtable discussion with business colleagues checking in on how everyone in the group is doing in terms of hitting their quarterly financial goals. True, meaningful accountability serves to prop you up when you feel discouraged, and also propels you to heights you never thought possible.

While there are many different types of accountability, both business and personal, these 4 types of accountability are ones you need to place in your life immediately.

Ultimately, accountability is never just a one-time thing that applies to just a single area of our life. To find success, you need to be open to being challenged in all areas of your life. We can’t usually see our own blind spots – it takes trusted people in our lives to point them out to us and to provide us the support we need to work through those weak points intentionally.

To Procrastinate or Not to Procrastinate: The Entrepreneur’s Dilemma

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 07:00:00 -0700

There comes a time when you don’t feel like working anymore. It happens to everyone, you are certainly not an exception. Rather, it would be surprising if you haven’t felt that way about a task or project till now. As an entrepreneur, you would have worked hard to get your business to a level where it is successful and stable. Yet, procrastination can tempt you at any time. Particularly if it is a task you don’t like doing, there is a bigger chance you would be enticed towards procrastination.

The general perception among businesspeople is that procrastination is bad. They expect their employees to be productive throughout, not wasting even a single minute while they are at work. However, there is a limit to how much work a person can do at once without getting bored or tired. If they have reached the tipping point, continuing to work beyond that time would actually lead to a drop in quality of performance and prove to be counterproductive.

The million-dollar question is whether procrastination is always bad.

So, how do you avoid falling in the trap? Let’s talk about 5 practical tips which will help you pass up procrastination, or at least procrastinate on less important activities.

Don't let procrastination hold you back any longer. Download my complimentary Guide to Stopping Procrastination and start creating your ideal business and ideal life today. Simply go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/stop-procrastination to get started.

The Psychological Price That Entrepreneurs Pay for Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 07:00:00 -0700

It can be challenging to imagine that entrepreneurship comes with a psychological price considering how much the media glamorizes it. Most people only see the lavish and exciting lifestyles of high-profile entrepreneurs. That is why it is important to pay attention to the psychological price that entrepreneurs pay and work to avoid it.

But this makes up a small percentage of the overall business owner population. Most entrepreneurs don't own private jets, and they don't party with well-known celebrities or live extravagantly. However, this doesn't mean that their life is all set out for them either. Just like other leaders, they also pay the psychological price of achieving their dreams and maintaining their success.

Bradley Smith is the prime example of unequivocal business success behind which hid the fear of failure, stress-ridden anxiety, and the constant feeling of not being enough. Smith is the CEO of Rescue One Financial, a California-based financial service company that, on average, makes $32 million/year in sales.

In 2008, Bradley Smith was working day and night, counseling nervous clients on getting out of debt. But while he gave them advice, Smith was drowning in debt himself.

Smith had a steep beginning; working with a debt settlement company, maxing out his credit card, selling his very first and most expensive watch, and doing business with family by asking his dad for a $10,000 loan.

Smith and his wife were living off of scraps, making the best of what they had, and sharing only a bottle of wine for dinner. He would wake up in the middle of the night with his mind racing, wondering, 'how can I ever turn this thing off?'

Why Emotional Intelligence is Important in Leading Your Team

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 21 Mar 2024 07:00:00 -0700

Emotional intelligence is a vastly underrated trait in a great business leader. While hard skills, such as technical skills or knowledge, can be learned, emotional intelligence needs to be cultivated. Soft skills such as empathy, patience, and self-awareness, are all crucial for successfully leading a team and growing your business to your next level.

Leaders who have high emotional intelligence are much farther ahead of the curve than those who have a keen instinct for business. They’re more capable of building a team they can retain, and aware of what it takes to motivate that team as they grow their company. If it’s so important, why is it so underrated? Let’s explore more about why this trait is the foundation of a successful leadership tenure.

What is Emotional Intelligence?

Components of Emotional Intelligence

How to Display Emotional Intelligence

Prioritize emotional intelligence as you lead your company. Practice self-awareness, transparency with your team, and above all, empathy. Taking the time to understand your own emotions as well as your employees’ emotions will help you to be a more effective, more compassionate, and an even more successful leader!

4 Ways to Preserve Your Company Culture as You Scale Your Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 07:00:00 -0700

Your business is scaling, which is fantastic! It means that your business is successful and growing, as is your team. And it’s more important now than ever to preserve your company’s culture, or what made it so great in the first place.

A symptom of rapid expansion can be feeling like the spirit of the company is not the same as it once was. With more people joining your team, they can have an impact on the overall culture of the company. More individual personalities means more voices, and the core set of values that you once established may be lost among the noise.

Scaling your business doesn’t mean you need to choose between success and a strong company culture—in fact, if your culture is well-defined, many of your new hires will echo those values and uphold them as they help you grow your business.

Let’s explore four ways to preserve your company culture as your team continues to grow and you scale your business.

How much of your company culture you preserve as you scale depends on how much you care about it. Preserve your company culture as you scale by being an example of your company values, hiring to fit company culture, and adapting as the company grows while maintaining the core of who your business is.

4 Steps to Building Persistent Behavior and Get Even Better Results

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 07:00:00 -0800

Persistence is sort of like a ‘magic word’ when it comes to success. Persistence is basically the repetition or continuation of behavior, and it is an absolutely essential part of business. As a successful business owner, you no doubt have at least a pretty good idea of what it takes to be persistent, though it never hurts to revisit a subject that is very important.

The whole idea of persistence revolves around the fact that motivation has a tendency to wax and wane a bit as time goes by. Persistence is a behavior that can be learned, and it is also a behavior which will render this troublesome waxing and waning of your motivation harmless in the long run, which is why it is so instrumental to expanding your current level of success. However, since persistence is an attribute of longevity, it can take some strength of mind and some psychological fortitude to really believe in it enough to make a commitment to practice it day after day. Now, we are going to discuss 4 steps to building persistent behavior. Following these steps will help you with the process of more consistently being a persistent person so you can experience even better results.

Every day, remind yourself that persistence is an absolute necessity. Without it, any business will flounder and possibly even fail. If you find yourself lacking persistence, then keep taking each of these four steps, one at a time. Taking a proactive approach to solving this problem is by far the best way to deal with it, and these steps forward are a perfect way to get started!

Use Time Blocks to Manage Your Schedule and Increase Your Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 22 Feb 2024 07:00:00 -0800

Using calendar time blocks is one of the best ways to effectively manage your time. It's a skill that is often overlooked but is an essential key to a productive day (day after day). We'll explore different ways you can make this critical practice easier in your life and take some of the stress out of your schedule by breaking up tasks into manageable chunks.

One of the benefits of using time blocks is that it gives you more control over your day. You can use it to prioritize what's important and get the most critical tasks done right away, or you can set up time blocks for things like checking email, social media, or other less pressing activities that take up a lot of time.

It can also help you manage tasks when you have limited time to work on them.

Remember - time blocks aren't set in stone!

You'll notice that I've given you many different options for creating your time block schedule. That's because there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to managing your time effectively.

How to Stay Motivated During a Time Block

It can be hard to stay focused and motivated when you know you only have a limited amount of time to do something. One trick is to set your target for the time block and break your goals down into smaller steps. This way, you'll feel like you're constantly moving forward, rather than just staring at a long to-do list or a pile of work.

How to Make the Most of Your Time Blocks

When you plan your day, think about how long tasks will take you. Then, block off enough time to do them correctly. Avoid multitasking and using time blocks for more than one task at a time, as it can be stressful and cost you extra time in the long run.

It can be tempting to say that a particular time block will work for all tasks, but it doesn't. Experiment with different lengths of time blocks and see how they affect you getting the work done. A longer time block might give you the chance to take a break from your work now and then, while a shorter one may help you stay even more focused.

When deciding how to split your day, give yourself a small test run of each time block. If you need more time than scheduled, increase your blocks to the desired length in the future.

Similarly, if you feel that tasks are taking less time than expected, reduce your time blocks.

Your schedule should be flexible enough

6 Ways to Build Self-Confidence and Increase Your Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 07:00:00 -0800

Having self-confidence can be attributed to the feeling of capability. By being confident, you feel like you can handle anything that comes your way and do a great job at it.

Though the feeling of self-confidence cannot be explained, it is important to note that confidence is built on numerous things. It is influenced by your choices, situations, emotions, actions, and reactions.

The instances you are put in and how you react to them feed your passion and make you feel accomplished and happy at the results you generate.

As an entrepreneur, confidence is an important skill that you need to possess and master. This is because you are in a leadership position, and you need this skill to be a successful leader.

Without confidence, you will doubt yourself and your efforts, lose the power to command the attention from your employees and second-guess your decisions.

Building your self-confidence takes more than a simple lesson in the benefits of being confident. Let’s explore 6 ways that will help you systematically build your self-confidence while honing other important skills.

The Power of Persistence in Achieving Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 07:00:00 -0800

Have you heard that saying, “Persistence Pays Off”? It is true, but there is a fine line between being persistent and being relentless, and you need to know when you’re crossing the line. Having the power of persistence will help you achieve your goals, so you can have your ideal business and ideal life.

Persistence is a personality trait and an attitude that indicates you’re working hard, and that you keep trying until you achieve success or until you realize the direction you’re going isn’t going to achieve the goal you set.

Are you persistent? Do you find you give up too easily? What would being even more persistent mean to your personal and professional goals? When you determine that you want to be more persistent, you need to own it, embrace it, and follow a path toward the successes you seek!

4 Tips for Always Keeping the ‘End Goal’ In Mind

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 07:00:00 -0800

When it comes to building your business, it is imperative that you keep the end goal and ideal results in mind at ALL times. In fact, setting goals and determining to stick to them is one step that everyone should take, regardless of what type of business you are in. Keeping the end goal in mind through the day-to-day grind is going to help keep you focused on where you want to be in the future.

It might seem surprising, but not many people have mastered the art of keeping the ‘end goal’ in mind on a day-to-day basis. One statistic said that only 3% of people actually set meaningful goals for themselves and follow them at all! How can you hope to keep the end goal in mind if you don’t set goals for yourself?

So here are four tips for always keeping this goal in mind. Following them will help you to remember why you are doing what you are doing in the first place, which can help to make your days easier and help your dreams to seem less far away.

Happy New Year! Let’s kick some butt in 2024!

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 02 Jan 2024 07:00:00 -0800

Happy New Year! Let’s kick some butt in 2024!

“What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year.” I think this is a great quote by Vern McLellan.

We all have 365 days in a year. The only difference between the successful people and the mediocre is what they do with each day. We spend every second of every day doing something. Are those activities moving you forward or keeping you where you currently are?

I just wanted to take a quick moment to say how much I appreciate your business and continued support.

It is a pleasure for me to be able to serve entrepreneurs and business professionals like you.

I believe that you and I have the ability to have a positive impact on this world. That's why I'm so excited to serve our community.

2023 has been written and I hope our relationship will grow into something even more amazing in 2024.

When hard-working, values- and goals-driven people like you and I put our heads together, there's no limit to what we can accomplish.

Thank you for your continued support and I hope you let me know how else I can be of service to you in 2024 and beyond.

I wish you a very healthy, happy, and profitable new year.

Oprah Winfrey said: “Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.”

I welcome your comments and feedback on how I can help you make 2024 your best year ever!

As an entrepreneur and business owner, it’s important to recognize how valuable your time is - and how you choose to spend it every second of every day.

When Should I Update My Business Success Plan?

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 07:00:00 -0800

Today's economic landscape is vastly different as we all know and are experiencing, which creates a need for businesses to rethink everything from marketing strategy to pricing plans.

Businesses that have not updated their plans in the last year will be at a disadvantage as they try to compete with those who have adapted quickly and effectively.

Let’s explore some tips on when you should update your company's business plan to continue thriving regardless of the economy. I will also review what's involved in updating your current business plan and provide key insights to guide you toward a successful update.

Why Should I Update My Business Success Plan?

Without properly updating your business plan, you can quickly find yourself at a disadvantage in the marketplace.

This means providing less than stellar client service, no competitive pricing plans, outdated marketing strategies, not effectively using current technology, and failing to take advantage of new market opportunities.

In this day and age, businesses have to keep their eyes on the big picture to be successful.

Many business owners simply tweak their existing plans instead of actually updating them, leading to a failure to adapt. This practice can be a death sentence for any business that finds itself going head-to-head with those who take the time to make sure their business is prepared for any changes in the economic landscape.

So, when is the right time to update your business plan? The answer is not as straightforward as you may think.

You want to make sure that you are always looking ahead and not falling behind. Whether or not your company is currently in the process of updating its business plan, you need to consistently be thinking about what's next and always making sure to take a practical approach.

If you need help updating your business success plan or creating a new one, reach out to me today to schedule your complimentary consultation.

5 Ways Emotional Intelligence Can Help You to Succeed

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 07 Dec 2023 07:00:00 -0800

Emotions are strong contenders in how we live our lives. They are an inward feeling and an outward reflection of how activities affect us.

When working towards achieving your business goals, you are mostly told that having the willpower and determination to achieve these goals can improve your performance and set you on the path to greater success.

The only challenge you’ll face with running on willpower and determination alone is that there will always be another mountain to climb and a new goal to achieve. Willpower and grit are also borne of an internal struggle to survive.

You need to recognize that your success as a business owner is not only spearheaded by your internal structure and process. It is also greatly affected by your external environment.

The emotions evoked by your daily activities and impacted by both the internal and external environment play a pivotal role in handling your business and thinking creatively when trying to resolve a problem.

What is Emotional Intelligence?

Let’s explore 5 ways emotional intelligence can help you increase your ability to succeed.

Though your emotions have the power to affect you both positively and negatively in business, having and using the power and emotional intelligence appropriately can help you grow and succeed exponentially. Cultivate your emotional intelligence appropriately to reap the benefits that will help you succeed in business.

5 Tips for Exploring Your Life Purpose

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 07:00:00 -0800

If you’ve ever wondered if there was more to life than what you’re currently experiencing, you’ll find this discussion helpful. First, let’s clarify that identifying your life’s purpose isn’t the end all - you still have to find a way to integrate it into your life, that for most of us, has been built on necessity or security. Yes, we all have bills to pay; however, selling your soul (so to speak) in the name of security isn’t necessarily the way it has to be.

I’m all for fueling your passions, and I’m also a firm believer in smart and strategic business decisions. My advice is to take this process slowly. If you love what you do, find a way to work your life purpose into your career or business. If you don’t love what you do, then explore other avenues that support a solid business foundation and purpose.

These 5 tips will help you explore your life purpose and find more meaning in your life as well as your profession.

The difficult part of exploring your life’s purpose is not the actual learning what it is (that part is fairly easy), it’s the change that is required to integrate into a life that has been likely built on necessity and security. Depending on where you are in life, integrating your life purpose into a career or entrepreneur venture may be a bit of a challenge; however, don’t let the level of challenge fool you. Change is only as difficult as we make it out to be.

At the end of the day, it’s your life, your choice. It’s up to you to decide how you’d like to live your life and the nature of the legacy you’d like to leave.

5 Steps to Overcome Limiting Beliefs That Are Holding You Back

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 16 Nov 2023 07:00:00 -0800

Your beliefs hold a strong impact on your self-esteem. They control what you believe; they motivate you and allow you to spire for greatness in whatever you choose to set your sights on.

These beliefs have a strong impact on how you do business. It affects how you coordinate your team members to reach your goals and how you build relationships with your external environment.

When your beliefs reduce your ability to progress in your business or personal life, they have become limiting beliefs that you need to get through.

While working to understand limiting beliefs, it is important to understand why limiting beliefs are formed in the first place.

Limiting beliefs are thoughts that arise mostly as a defense mechanism to avoid disappointments, frustrations, stress, and failure. When you have suffered through an intense experience previously, you generate these beliefs as a way to shield you from feeling these negative ways.

The problem with limiting beliefs is that they prevent you from trying new things, gaining new experiences, and succeeding in a new venture.

These 5 steps, that I’m about to share with you, can help you overcome your limiting beliefs.

80% of success is mindset and 20% is strategy!

95% of our thoughts are the same each day, and on average, 80% of our thoughts are negative!

For more help you with overcoming your limiting beliefs, some of which you may not know you have, so you can create your ideal business and ideal life, reach out to me today to schedule your complimentary consultation.

8 Benefits of Consistency Ensures Even Better Business Results

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Being consistent in your approach to business is one of the best ways to continuously grow a successful business. Many experts agree that it is the single most important attribute in building a positive work culture, one in which you and everyone can thrive. There is nothing more effective than consistency when it comes to making your business stand out from the competition. Let’s explore 8 benefits of consistency within the workplace that will help ensure that you are getting the results that you want to achieve.

The real key to being consistent is to match your actions to your words. If your business is lacking in this area, remind yourself what the end result will be when you continue to be consistent (increased sales, more clients, improved efficiency, etc.). Keep in mind what you are trying to accomplish through being consistent and the motivation to do so will come more easily day after day.

Being consistent takes practice and dedication because it involves setting and achieving goals over the long term. A commitment to consistency can be challenging, particularly at first, but once behaviors have become routine, they become much easier to follow.

10 Behaviors That Make You Even More Successful in Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Would you be interested to know what behaviors can make you even more successful?

If “YES”, I am glad you are because I can help you with finding this out!

Keep listening and you'll discover the ten different behaviors that will help you be even more successful in your business.

It's not always easy to change your habits, but these changes will benefit your business's bottom line with a little bit of time and practice.

The goal is simple: To help make sure that all of these changes will work for YOU, so that they put you on the right track towards being even more successful!

Do you believe that your behavior can affect your success as an entrepreneur?

Success is influenced by many different factors, including education, talent, personality, commitment, belief, focus, and more. However, the reality is that nothing affects your success more than your daily behavior.

Behavior is defined as "the way a person acts or behaves." So, if you want to become more successful, you need to understand how your actions affect that outcome.

Behaviors will help you achieve your goals because they are your actions to get to those goals.

For example, if I want to be successful in business, your behaviors will include reading more, managing your time even better, and consistently looking for ways to grow every day.

Many people think they need to change who they are or what they do; however, these changes won’t stick.

Changing behaviors is a lot easier than changing who you are or what you do. One of the most important things to remember is that your goals can adjust once your behavior changes.

4 Steps in Overcoming Your Limiting Beliefs

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Our beliefs are stronger than we often think. So much stronger. They are so strong in fact, that they often can have very physical effects on us. You might have noticed it too ─ you wake up feeling terrible, and just like that, the rest of the day just feels draining. Flip that around and wake up on the right side of the bed, and things just seem to go smoothly.

The same goes with our beliefs. Have positive beliefs that uplift and empower you, and you’d feel empowered and driven. Have negative beliefs or negative thoughts, and you’d be limited in what you can achieve.

Sometimes though, it’s practically impossible to not have some of these limiting beliefs (conscious or unconscious). Sometimes they just come. Maybe it’s a result of the social circles we find ourselves in. Maybe it’s the effect of hearing how other people have failed over and over again at achieving their goals. Whatever the reason, these negative thoughts often come and create limiting beliefs in our lives.

80% of success is mindset and 20% is strategy!

95% of our thoughts are the same each day, and on average, 80% of our thoughts are negative!

It’s up to us to do our best to overcome these limiting beliefs and in so doing, improve our lives. Need some help doing that? I’ve got you covered. Let’s explore four steps you can take to overcome your limiting beliefs, so you can more quickly achieve your goals.

Here are 4 Steps to Take in Overcoming Your Limiting Beliefs.

Many times, the problem is that most of the time you don’t even know about the limiting beliefs you have. The key is finding a way to change our mindset, so you can figure out a way to identify the limiting beliefs.

5 Productivity Strategies to Stick with Your Time Blocks

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 05 Oct 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Creating calendar time blocks is one of the best productivity strategies. Laying out your activities on a calendar helps you get more done in less time. However, many business professionals struggle to stick with their time blocks as energy diminishes during the day and surprises come up.

Your ability to get more done in less time impacts how many prospects you can contact each week and how many clients you can serve. Time blocking helps, and if you want to stick with your time blocks, follow these five productivity strategies.

Studies show that incorporating exercise into the workday improved time management skills by 72% as opposed to days where the participants did not exercise at all.

5 Questions to Ask When You’re Not Motivated to Achieve Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 28 Sep 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Even the most motivated of achievers can sometimes feel unmotivated. So what do you do in those crucial moments of inner negotiation - do I commit to two steps forward or relent to two steps backwards - and how do you justify your decision?

What if not being motivated to achieve your goals is a sign of a deeper, unresolved issue? Let’s review five questions to ask yourself to help you uncover the possible reasons you’re not motivated to achieve your goals to help you achieve your goals.

Think of the moments that you find yourself not motivated to achieve your goals not as a reason to beat yourself up for being weak or less than perfect, but as an opportunity to check-in and examine if your goals are still in alignment with where you’re headed. Goals should inspire you into action and propel you along your path to success; if they’re not, use these questions I’ve shared with you to help you uncover the real issue.

Fearless Accountability: Embracing Growth and Progress to Achieve Even More

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 21 Sep 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Today we are talking about Overcoming Your Accountability Apprehension to Achieve Even More Than You Might Have Thought Possible.

Many people suffer from accountability apprehension. They feel that opening themselves up to scrutiny from others will leave them vulnerable, and – sometimes – even worry that this window into their successes and failures can hold them back in any business or workplace. While this may have been true years ago, the fact is that today’s culture is one that is obsessed with personal growth and looks favorably on individuals that take intentional measures to become better, more productive, more positive versions of themselves.

The mark of a successful businessperson is often his or her ability to adapt when necessary. Failure to pivot well when needed can lead to business failure at a catastrophic level, whether that looks like an inability to implement change that employees require to maintain job satisfaction, or the inability to anticipate changing client needs in time to meet those needs before your competition does.

Wouldn’t it be great if our ‘good intentions’ worked the way that we think they should? Not even enthusiasm guarantees positive results. There’s often a wide gap between our intentions and our actions. We fail to take the action necessary to be in alignment with our good intentions.

The #1 Reason People Don’t Get What They Want in Life is Lack of Accountability.

When you are held accountable to the activity required to achieve your goals, you will make more money, work less, and enjoy having your ideal business and ideal life.

To review 4 different types of accountability coaching options and decide which one might be of the most value to you, so you can achieve your goals and enjoy the kind of business and life you truly want, go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching/.

What is Procrastination Costing You in Your Business and Life?

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 14 Sep 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Poor follow through – consciously deciding to do something, but then not doing it for whatever reason – is a fact of life for many of us. Most people find that the gap between their intentions and their actions is too vast, and fall short of doing what is required to achieve their goals.

Think about the promises you’ve made to yourself in the past. Of all the promises and commitments you have made to yourself, how many have you kept?

This phenomenon takes a toll on virtually every aspect of our life. Our lack of ability to commit to taking action prevents us from achieving personal, financial, relationship, and career goals that would otherwise be well within our reach.

Have you ever considered the cost of poor follow through in your life? Think about a goal that you have failed to meet in the past. Was your failure to follow through a by-product of the fact that you were really okay with the way things were to begin with? Or does the poor follow through bother you? Does the knowledge that you didn’t follow through with your goals eat you up inside because you know you aren’t doing what you need to do to get the result you say you want?

As long as we continue to expect our “good” intentions to work the way they should instead of facing reality about the probability of following through, we’ll just keep repeating the same mistakes. Like the definition of insanity – You keep doing the same things over and over again, and expective a different result, when that just isn’t going to happen.

Being Persistent Can Pay Off Big Time!

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Persistence is to success as excuses are to failure. Never, never give up - there is always a way.

If you want more, you WILL find a way, because there always IS a way. With persistence and consistent action, you will make it happen. If you don't believe me, keep listening.

Did you know that Thomas Edison had over 10,000 failed attempts to create the light bulb before he was successful? His persistence was as valuable as his invention. 10,000 failed attempts and look what he created! Even if you’re not out to change the world, what could you create with an unresolved persistence?

Persistence always pays off - and sometimes big time! It's a known fact that more business deals are inked when one of the parties is persistent. Now, being persistent is not the same as being pushy; rather, it is voicing your ideal fit and expertise to someone that may not be aware of the benefits they will receive when working with you. They will appreciate your persistence and the benefits - so you have to make them known.

There are thousands of examples of ordinary people achieving extraordinary goals; these are just a few examples of how persistence has paid off. Achieving your goals requires you to take consistent action, be persistent, and maintain a resolve to simply not give up. Let’s explore 5 steps you can take today, to get you closer to achieving your goals.

If you don’t currently have a way to track your progress with referrals, download my free referral tracking spreadsheet, so you can easily tell where everyone is in your pipeline. Get my sample tracking by going to https://bit.ly/Referral_Tracking.

The road to success isn’t always easy - but it isn’t always hard. There may be times when you have to talk yourself through periods of self-doubt, and there will definitely be times when you defy the odds. Never, never give up because there is always a way to achieve your goals and experience the life you truly desire.

What Does it Take to Be on Top and Stay There?

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 31 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Competition in the business world is always going to be fierce. Creating a successful model for running your business is not necessarily enough to be at the top of your industry. There are other important factors that go into what companies rise to the top and stay there.

Of all the companies in the Fortune 500 in 1955, only 61 (or 12%) were still in business in 2014. What set these companies apart from the ones that failed? Is there a formula for being on top and remaining there? Companies that have had a long run at the top of their industry are able to be successful when they do the 8 actions I share.

Getting to the top is not an easy road and staying there is even harder as all eyes are now on you as the target. Once you have found success, it is not time to lessen the pressure. Continue to work hard to stay at the place that you worked so hard to get to.

5 Ways Increased Confidence Leads to Greater Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 24 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Confidence doesn’t always come naturally to everyone, and it often needs to be built. For people putting in the work to build confidence in themselves and all that they do, it can pay off immensely and lead to even greater success. When you believe in yourself, you set the bar higher and create opportunities for yourself to rise to the top, as you would expect.

Let’s explore five ways that increased confidence leads to a more successful business and life.

Being confident enough to set boundaries also protects your mental health. Rather than doing activities you don’t need to do and becoming resentful later on, you can protect your mental bandwidth and just pick and choose what you want to work on. More time, and a greater mental bandwidth, equals even greater success.

Download my Free Delegation Exercise to help you identify more even activities to delegate, by going to https://bit.ly/Delegation-Exercise.

Building confidence is not something you do overnight—the choices you make, the mindset you embody, and the people you surround yourself with, all contribute to your increased confidence. With confidence, you’ll be more comfortable asking questions, taking risks, talking to others about your business, setting boundaries, and reaching for the stars. With practice, you’ll see how even greater confidence can lead you to even greater success.

5 Ways to Have a ‘Winning’ Attitude

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 17 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Having a winning attitude is essential to being successful. Theodore Roosevelt once said ‘Believe YOU CAN and you are half way there’. A lot of times, we end up defeating ourselves before we begin by having a negative outlook on what is going on. We sometimes tend to look at opportunities and only see roadblocks, or see only a glass that is ‘half empty’ as opposed to ‘half full’.

Having a ‘winning attitude’ is all about how we view the world around us. It can be very easy to only see problems when we face hard times and new challenges, and yet the most successful people in the world have always shown that outlook plays a huge part in how successful you are.

So how can you have a winning attitude, even in the face of adversity? Well, let’s explore 5 tips that might point you in the right direction. Following these 5 tips will get you well on your way to defeating that negative frame of mind that threatens to dampen your spirits and discourage you when times get tough.

What you can imagine is what your potential is and what your possibilities are. Set your intention and choose to live the life you want. Many billionaires do imagination work every day. They imagine what they want for a few minutes every single day as a consistent habit. You can do the exact same thing to help you accelerate your results in business and in life.

Visualization is a way of tapping into the amazing power of the mind, so that you can train your brain to help you create the kind of life you want.

6 Ways to Stick to Your Goals and Be Even More Successful

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 10 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Sticking to your goals is not always easy, especially if the next level of success is at stake. It can be very tempting to give up and stay where you are because the next level requires a lot more work… but this is not what you really want for yourself! Part of setting worthwhile goals and sticking to them is that this process allows you to grow as a person. If you give up and go back to the way you were before, then you are not going to have the peace of mind and confidence that comes from KNOWING that you can achieve your goals when you set your mind to it!

Maybe your goals are business related, or maybe they are personal, or both (which is what I recommend to have great work life balance). Regardless of what they are, they MUST be important to you…so why give up on them? Life is what you make of it, and achieving goals is one way to shape your life on YOUR terms. Goals are something that nobody can take from you, which is why sticking to them is SO important!

Let’s now explore 6 tips for sticking to your goals. These six tips are simple to understand, and they can help you with even the most complex goals that might be on your list!

Even if it seems like sticking to your goals is the most difficult thing in the world to do during certain times, it is important to remember that if you DON’T stick with them, you absolutely WILL NOT succeed to the level you want and desire. Today, really think about what your goals are, and find it within yourself to make a promise… promise yourself that you WILL NOT stop sticking to your goals, even when it gets difficult. The vision of the benefits you will experience when you achieve your goals should be powerful enough to keep moving you forward.

5 Steps to Change Limiting Beliefs and Maximize Your Potential

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 07:00:00 -0700

As humans, we all have desires and dreams- something that you truly want to achieve, be, and feel. But many constraints in life inhibit us from reaching our goals.

Often, it is our self-liming beliefs that prevent us from becoming our true selves and achieving even greater success. We imagine our ideal life and then say, ‘I’m not good enough,’ ‘I don’t deserve it,’ or ‘I can’t do that.’

These are all examples of toxic, self-limiting beliefs, living in our conscious and subconscious originating from past experiences and memories. To transform your dreams into a reality, you need to address your limiting beliefs head-on.

Let’s explore what limiting beliefs are and how you can challenge them to achieve personal greatness.

What are Limiting Beliefs?

Beliefs encompass conditioned falsities built upon old memories of pain and pleasure. The foundations of our beliefs depend on how we interpret and emotionalize our experiences.

Our limiting beliefs are unconscious thoughts that act as defense mechanisms to avoid pain, discomfort, and hurt. A limiting belief can be about yourself, your interactions with other people, about the world, and even your career.

What Are Some Great Activities to Help Achieve Your Goals as You Change Your Limiting Beliefs?

How Does Breaking Your Limiting Beliefs Improve Your Life?

Incorporate the strategies that I’ve shared to break your self-limiting beliefs. This way, you can achieve everything you have ever dreamed about or imagined.

3 Ways to Manifest High Self Esteem and Achieve Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 20 Jul 2023 07:00:00 -0700

More than just simple goal setting or repeated affirmations, manifesting self-esteem in your life is a surefire way to amp up your personal and work life, so you can begin living the next-level life you’re dreaming of. While it is a relatively simple process, it is nevertheless something many people fail to do in their lives.

Essentially, manifesting something is approaching it with extreme intentionality and specificity. Rather than being vague with what you want, you focus intently on it, and go to great lengths to describe to yourself what it would look like and feel like to achieve it. Your level of confidence and self-esteem has tremendous impact on your ability to perform at work and to be successful in the entirety of your life. Being able to intentionally boost your confidence and tangibly improve your overall self-esteem is key for a happier and a more driven life.

There are many reasons why people push off the process of manifestation, but truly successful individuals have figured out how to harness the power of confidence and use it to their advantage every day. Are you curious how to get your self-esteem rising? Check out these three tried and true methods used by high-performing people across the world.

To begin manifesting higher self-esteem today, take some time to write down three areas of life – both personally and professionally – where you would like to see increased confidence. Remember: be as specific as possible with what success would look like to you in those areas!

Awesome Interview with Christa Elza, Functional Medicine to Help High Achievers Solve Health Issues

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 18 Jul 2023 07:00:00 -0700

I know you will find my guest to very valuable in sharing her insight and ideas about helping you, as a high achiever, to get to the bottom of health issues like burnout and feeling stuck in hitting health goals, so you can be as healthy as possible which helps you be in the best position to achieve your goals and even accelerate the achievement of your goals.

As a functional-medicine expert, Christa Elza specializes in investigating underlying factors of fatigue, hormone balance, thyroid issues, digestive issues, and more. Christa uses breakthrough diagnostic testing that’s rarely done in conventional settings to uncover the hidden causes of why people feel the way they feel.

Here are a few questions I asked Christa that you will benefit from by listening to her interview:

· Let’s start with a general conversation about the importance of us learning the root cause of our health issues (we may or may not know we have) and the impact it has on us doing our “job” every day and being the best we can be. Let’s say I feel tired or just not 100% for example. What do I do?

· Why don’t more doctors do more diagnostic testing (typically rarely done in conventional settings) to uncover the hidden causes of why we feel the way they feel?

· How do we get more of these tests done with our current doctor, or how do we find a better doctor that can do these for us to help us so we can perform optimally?

· What is the best way to get tested for food sensitivities and inflammation that could be causing issues in our gut?

· How do I improve my gut health and solve digestive issues?

· What does insulin resistance mean? I see all these advertisements for products to help with insulin resistance. How do we know if we have insulin resistance issues?

· As we get older, our metabolism slows down. How do we help increase our metabolism or keep it as high as possible?

3 Tips for Mastering Life Outside Your Comfort Zone

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 07:00:00 -0700

We all have fears that stop us from stepping into our potential. It’s what we’ve come to call the comfort zone - the place where fear is minimized to allow for daily life functioning. But we don’t always realize just how much we give up for the sake of comfort.

In an effort to minimize our greatest fears we can be sacrificing our heart’s deepest desires. In the name of comfort, we sacrifice potential.

It reminds me of a quote by Tony Robbins that says (paraphrasing), the dance of life happens between our greatest fears and our greatest potential, which translates into life happens outside your comfort zone. Sounds good in theory, but how do we move through our terrifying fears to break free of limitations and embrace our true potential?

The process of doing something you haven’t done before is the great risk because you are stepping out of your comfort zone and stepping into your true potential. If it feels a lot like stepping out into mid-air - it’s because it is. You are literally stepping into new territory.

To create different results, you must step out of your comfort zone so you’re taking action from a different set of beliefs. Stagnation is comfortable….growth is uncomfortable.

All that you are and have experienced is the result of beliefs that have built your comfort zone. Mastering your life and fulfilling your true potential comes down to how willing you are to get uncomfortable.

I believe that successful people are comfortable with being uncomfortable all the time. That is how they got to be successful, and you can learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable as well, so you accelerate your results to having and enjoying your ideal business and ideal life.

7 Keys to Turning Failure into Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Failure is a word that’s easily misunderstood and often feared. Especially when it comes to your business, failure is not something we necessarily want as part of that entrepreneur journey. But the truth is, failure is something that’s inevitable and necessary for success.

By embracing failure and seeing opportunities for growth, it takes away the power that fear holds over us. It’s what you do with that failure that determines the outcome of your business.

If you shift your mindset, you’ll understand that through failure comes the growth we need and the lessons we learn to reach successful milestones.

Let’s explore seven keys to help you turn failure into success.

A lot of what differentiates failure from success is perspective. When you choose to see failure as a positive aspect for growth, when you let go of the fear of failure, when you take time to reflect and stay focused on your goals, you shift your mindset from a negative one to a positive one. Failure is something to be grateful for, because it provides us with the lessons we need to get up, try again, and ultimately reach success.

Create Systems and Processes to Make Your Business More Productive

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 07:00:00 -0700

As a business owner, it is quite easy for you to get caught up in running your business from day to day. This is even truer if you are into micromanagement as every small issue that arises will require your personal attention. You can take your business to new heights but at the cost of your personal and social life. Plus, rarely is it beneficial for a business to rely on one person so much, even if you have the largest stake in it. After all, the success of your business will benefit you the most.

Did you know that without effective day-to-day systems in your business, it can cost up to 20-30% of your annual revenue?

At some point, there will be a breaking point for you. You cannot keep on making all the decisions and taking all the important actions for your business. Sooner or later, you will start feeling the pressure and that could be dangerous for you and your business. In the beginning, you might be able to manage this quite easily. Success is the biggest motivator but when you reach the apex, it can sometimes become difficult to have that same spark you did when you were starting off.

Without a doubt, creating systems and processes to make the workplace more efficient does require a lot of effort initially. Yet, there are some great benefits to be had that make the exercise totally worthwhile. Some of them include things like:

· Gives you the time and space to focus on the most important revenue generation areas of your business.

· Enables you to explore new opportunities and broaden your business’ horizons.

· Makes your employees more responsible and productive.

· Significantly reduces training of a temporary employee or new employee.

· Provides you with the leisure time you need to keep yourself fresh, active, motivated, and inspired.

· Makes it seamless when a team member is out ill or on vacation and someone else has to fill in for them.

Stop Struggling to Stay on Track - Let an Accountability Coach Help You Succeed!

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Many business professionals have a difficult time managing their time efficiently, unknowingly sabotaging their own success, over and over again. They often spend months, even years, struggling to discern between the low-priority and high-impact tasks, and where their efforts drive the biggest results. Unfortunately, this type of unawareness can lead to a failed business. How do you prevent self-sabotage of your business? One very good option is to hire an accountability coach! Let me share four reasons you need to hire an accountability coach to help you achieve your goals and accelerate your results.

An experienced Accountability Coach will help you…

1. Understand how your actions either lead you toward or away from your goal(s)

2. Nip procrastination and other timewasters in the bud

3. Break free of your limiting beliefs

4. Achieve success by refining how you approach personal and professional goals

Let’s do a deeper dive into each of these benefits.

Download my Guidebook, Are Your Beliefs Helping You or Hurting You?, by going to

http://bit.ly/Helping-Beliefs.

80% of success is mindset and 20% is strategy!

95% of our thoughts are the same each day, and on average, 80% of our thoughts are negative!

Accountability coaching is especially beneficial to business owners, since they are the most susceptible to common sabotaging habits like procrastination and lack of direction. As a business owner, you can get so caught up in the chaos of running and building your business that you can become lost. Without direction, a clear understanding of where your actions are leading you, and which tasks are low priority versus high payoff, you may drive yourself and your business into the ground. If you are ready to achieve the kind of success you have always imagined, do yourself and your business a favor and hire an Accountability Coach to help you accelerate your results, so you can enjoy having your ideal business and ideal life.

The Real Secret (That Nobody Shares) for Business Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 25 May 2023 07:00:00 -0700

In today’s continuously evolving world, we are in a constant phase of change. It means that the business model thriving today may become outdated within a decade or possibly even sooner. An excellent example of this is brick-and-mortar stores.

It was a preferred shopping method; however, Covid-19 has reshaped many aspects of our lives. The lockdowns and advancing technology have helped online stores take over previous physical models.

It has empowered millennial entrepreneurs with a low budget since you don’t need any inventory, a place to showcase your products, or a team to run the store. You can single-handedly run the entire show and pave your way to success.

All you need is a killer website, products that clients crave, and unparalleled shipment services. Unfortunately, this model comes with its own set of challenges: credibility, consistency, and reliability.

For those that want to make it big and are ready to dedicate their time and energy can overcome this by cleverly integrating technology with incredible client service. However, those who only focus on making money fast suffer.

Take a look at Nike and how it connected the digital experience with brick-and-mortar experiences by launching its flagship in SoHo, NYC. This experience-driven retail experience encourages buyers to visit retail stores by offering a one-of-a-kind experience. But more importantly, the store also boosts its digital marketing strategy. Since it’s fully integrated and connected with Nike’s mobile app and website, your data is instantly stored and accessible.

By introducing its innovative flagship, focusing on the client experience, and providing both a digital and physical store experience, Nike attracts the attention of sports fanatics across the globe.

So, what sets your brand apart in the swarm of start-ups, small and medium-sized businesses? You learn to listen!

Listen to the stories of successful business owners, listen to how badly they may have failed, and listen to how they picked themselves up. But most of all, you need to listen to tips that industry experts have shared over the past years.

5 Tips for Identifying and Overcoming Limiting Beliefs

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 18 May 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Many times, we get in the way of ourselves, meaning our beliefs limit us from reaching our goals. We all have limiting beliefs, some more than others. Since limiting beliefs are at the subconscious level, most of us are not even aware that we have them; however, they can stand in the way of you being successful in your business or other areas of your life.

What is a Limiting Belief?

Beliefs are perceptions based on memories of past experiences, and how we have interpreted them. We make emotional attachments to people and events, which then become the foundation of our belief system. Beliefs translate into how we view ourselves, others, and situations, and give us a sense of certainty on how we act on a daily basis. These influence the decisions you make throughout the day based on expectations that you have. A limiting belief causes you to automatically make an assessment based on something that is inaccurate.

While some limiting beliefs are easier to identify than others, they do begin to become part of your identity. Limiting beliefs have a negative impact on your life because they stunt your personal growth. By keeping you in your comfort zone, you will never explore other options that allow you to improve and be even more successful. When you create a goal, you will probably be very motivated for the first few days, weeks, or even month, but that motivation wanes over time. That’s partially due to your limiting beliefs affecting your thoughts. Those beliefs that are negative must be dealt with before you can move forward.

Identifying Limiting Beliefs

Everyone has a different perception of the way something occurred. We all have limiting beliefs but most of them are not relevant to our everyday life. In order to be successful, you need to only focus on those issues that are important, so let’s explore five tips for identifying and overcoming limiting beliefs now.

1. Make a List. Think about the areas of your life in which you feel challenged. If there is an area that you struggle with, and you are not working on fixing it, it is probably due to a limiting belief. This could be at work, with finances, or your relationships with others.

2. Make Another List. According to the challenges you listed previously in the first step, make a list of your beliefs. Include both positive and negative during the brainstorming process. Think about how much you could acco

Persistence: The Commonality of Champions and Successful Entrepreneurs

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 11 May 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Look upon history, and you’ll find that the notable quality that exists in all champions is persistence.

The path you walk will not always be easy, but you have to continue to persist. Even in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds, you must keep putting one foot in front of the other, because there are lessons to be learned along the way, all of which will support your success

Whenever you confront an obstacle or roadblock, step back and emotionally detach yourself from the situation. It’s much easier to think of ways to go around, under, or over the obstacle when you let go of the frustration. This may take some practice, so try this exercise: imagine a friend is the one facing the challenge(s), and you are simply providing ideas on how to help them overcome the obstacle. When you are solution-oriented, you focus on the possibilities, not the impossibilities.

In truth, nothing is impossible, and change is always inevitable. Knowing this, you can take persistent steps in faith, with the wisdom that nothing stays the same, and at some time in the future your current obstacles will dissolve.

Here are some quick facts about people who have applied persistence.

What’s the lesson here? You should never, never give up. However, there are times when it may be appropriate to refocus your persistence in a new direction. How do you know when it’s the right time to change course?

If you absolutely cannot live without what passionately consumes you, then do not give it up. The problem is never your passion, it only the manner in which you are trying to make it happen. Try a different approach - think of a creative solution. However, if you can live without it, then passion is not what is driving you. When passion is not driving you - it’s not something you really want. Perhaps you have trained yourself to want what someone else wants for you. Go back to your list of goals and reconnect with the goals that really drive you.

Visualization is a way of tapping into the amazing power of the mind, so that you can train your brain to help you create the kind of business and life you really want. Studies show that visualization can improve motivation, coordination, and concentration, while reducing fear and anxiety.

5 Unique Places to Find Accountability as a Business Owner

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 04 May 2023 07:00:00 -0700

When you’re the only one holding yourself accountable, it can be easy for things to slip through the cracks. The goals you have for yourself and your business can fall to the wayside if you’re constantly getting stuck in the weeds, which is why it’s important to have accountability as a business owner.

The #1 Reason People Don’t Get What They Want in Life is Lack of Accountability.

Accountability can look differently to each person; it might mean weekly check-ins to make sure you’re on track with your financial and strategic goals for the company, or it could mean having someone make sure you’re addressing a recent failure and learning from it. Even as you scale, you’re ultimately responsible for everything that happens at your company, and how you respond to and handle various situations can not only position your company as an authentic brand, and put you in a better position for growth and success.

Let’s explore the five unique places to find accountability that can help you grow your business to your next level of success.

What does accountability mean to you and what are some places in your business and life that you can benefit from accountability? Whether you’re a solopreneur or the leader of a growing team, having accountability is very important. Accountability leads to a more complete picture and clearer perspective of your business and will help you to continue to set bigger goals on your path to greater success.

Interview with Andrea Nicholson, Holistic Nutrition and Lifestyle Consultant

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Andrea Nicholson is a Board-Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Nutrition Therapist Master, and Restorative Wellness Practitioner.

Using over a decade of experience in the health industry, Andrea creates personalized packages using functional testing and other cutting-edge technologies to give people confidence in achieving and maintaining improved health, so they can get the results they want.

Here are a few questions I asked AndreaNicholson that you will benefit from by listening to her interview:

· Why do you focus on blood sugar and insulin (isn't that just for those with Diabetes)?

· What is insulin resistant mean and how can having this negatively impact us?

· Getting enough sleep is important as we all know. How does sleep actually play a role in our day-to-day productivity and success outcomes?

· How might someone who is working long hours, and therefore not prioritizing quality sleep or nutrition, be sabotaging their business success?

· Other than food choices, cortisol (stress), sleep, and exercise, what else could be preventing a person from reaching their goals?

5 Techniques to Help You Manage Your Time More Effectively

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 13 Apr 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Time management is one of the most important skills for entrepreneurs and high-performing business professionals. At the heart of it, it really isn’t a skill as much as it is a necessity for success.

Many high-performing business professionals have continuously attributed their successes to being able to manage their time appropriately and consistently.

When looking closely at time management, it boils down to managing yourself and your activities efficiently. This has a huge effect on your overall success and accelerating your results.

In your business, the best management techniques that work for others may not work for you. That is why you have to find what uniquely suits you and apply it.

The bottom line still remains the same. When your time is managed effectively, your outcomes are stemmed from how you work, how you manage distractions around you, and how you focus and concentrate on your high payoff activities.

Since we all have the same 24 hours every day, how you manage your time directly impacts the results you gain at the end of your business year.

The question you need to ask is: How can I manage my time even more effectively to reap the benefits of achieving my goals in the timeframe I set?

Let’s review five techniques to help you manage your time even more effectively.

4 Tips to Motivate Behavior Change in Your Team

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 07:00:00 -0700

When you start a company and build it up from nothing, it can be easy for you to be motivated to continue its growth. Of course, you want it to succeed—it’s your business baby! But for employees who haven’t been on that journey from the start, it can be harder to motivate behavior change in them.

Leading a team comes with its own challenges. There may be times when productivity wanes, or team members start cutting corners. A great leader empowers and inspires their team—which is easier said than done. Let’s explore four tips to help you drive change in your employees’ behaviors and actions.

1. Communicate Your Vision

2. Demonstrate Trust in Your Team

3. Take Time to Understand Individuals on Your Team

4. Highlight Your Team’s Accomplishments

Motivating behavior change is a bigger part of being a great leader than you may think. It’s tough to build a business alone, and having a team whose strengths complement yours is invaluable. Maybe you have no idea how to motivate your team. The solution? Just ask. Get to know your team on a personal level. You can even ask them directly what motivates them. Once you understand what makes each person tick, provide coaching, and feedback, and then give them space to take steps towards their clearly defined goals. Changing behavior isn’t something that can be forced—but by following these four tips, you can create greater motivation around behavior change for your team.

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Successful and mentally strong entrepreneurs don’t persevere through challenging times and reach new heights by accident.

These people don’t always know what moves they need to make to establish themselves. But they recognize that knowing what to avoid is just as important as knowing what to do.

Now, let’s take a closer look at how successful business leaders and mentally strong entrepreneurs do it differently, by taking a look at 10 things they avoid.

1. They Avoid Burnout

2. They Avoid Shying Away from Change

3. They Avoid Giving Up

4. They Avoid Feeling Sorry for Themselves

5. They Avoid Being Afraid of Taking Calculated Risks

6. They Avoid Losing Their Power and Control

7. They Avoid Repeating the Same Mistakes

8. They Avoid Being a People-Pleaser

9. They Avoid Blaming Others

3 Ways to Stop Wasting Time and Stay Laser Focused

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Most entrepreneurs have a difficult time understanding exactly how to stop wasting time. When you’re self-employed, it’s easy to take a “short break” to surf the internet, check email, return a call, talk to a peer who stops by your office, or read blogs, but those “short breaks” can easily turn into hours of wasted time each day. This includes unnecessary chats with colleagues, long lunches, or non-focused or misguided meetings that do not accomplish goals and resolve issues.

The success of your business venture depends on your ability to buckle down and learn how to stay laser focused. Let’s talk about three essential steps to help you stop wasting time, stay focused, and have productive work days, so you can be on the path of achieving your goals.

1. Always Prioritize

2. Get Organized

Answer this question, How much time do you think you waste each day? Remember it all adds up. Five minutes here, 10 minutes there, and 30 minutes on something fun yet not productive.

Did you know that some of the most productive people in the world swear by time blocking? Ever heard of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Michael Hyatt, or Cal Newport? Yep – all time-blockers. They’re squeezing every drop of productivity from their days, and so can you.

For more on time blocking, check out an article I wrote by going to https://bit.ly/Time_Blocking.

Consider using a time log to occasionally monitor what you do with your time every day for a week or two. You might be amazed at how you actually spend your time versus how you think you spend your time. To download a sample time log, go to http://www.accountabilitycoach.com/time-log/. Simple instructions come with this exercise to help you fill it out.

3. Delegate! Delegate! Delegate!

Use the 80/20 Rule to Grow Your Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 07:00:00 -0800

If your business is not growing, you need to get a handle on the way you’re running it. Many business owners tend to spend a great amount of time performing unnecessary tasks that contribute little to the growth of your business. The 80/20 rule, otherwise known as the Pareto Principle, teaches that only 20% of your actions should lead to 80% of your results. Get a handle on your business by putting the 80/20 rule into effect and identifying your high payoff tasks.

The 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle) Explained

Developed in the early 19th century by Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian economist, the Pareto Principle was used to explain why only 20% of the population was responsible for 80% of the country’s wealth. It was later in the mid-1900s that the theory of the Pareto Principle was modified by Dr. Joseph Duran. When applied to cause and effect, he theorized that 20% of actions (cause) would produce 80% of the end results (effect). Because Duran’s theory expanded on Pareto’s original version of the 80/20 rule, Dr. Duran’s theory soon became known solely as the Pareto Principle.

What the Pareto Principle Means for Your Business

The 80/20 rule can be applied to pretty much any situation, but, it is especially beneficial when applied to a business (especially if you’re currently a one person show). The 80/20 rule isn’t just another ordinary time/business management method; when used effectively, it holds the power to drastically increase your income and free up your very valuable time, allowing your business to grow.

Maybe this means that you can cut down on staff by weeding out tasks that are completely unnecessary by setting up an automated system. Perhaps it means that it is time for you to hire an assistant or virtual assistant to whom you can delegate low-priority tasks. Using the 80/20 rule to identify the high payoff tasks within your business and automate the low-priority or non-income driving tasks will allow you the freedom you need to grow revenue.

To download my Free Sample Prioritized Action List (PAL) that everyone in your office can use, go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/pal-sample/.

Identify the High Payoff Tasks

For the purpose of putting Duran’s theory into context, let’s say that 20% of your employees are responsible for driving 80% of your sales, or 20% of your clients make up 80% of your product or ser

7 Ways to Maintain Motivation and Drive

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0800

For those of us who have been in business for a while, it can be natural to hit a slump every now and then. It could be because we haven’t seen results in a while, or we’ve lost interest in what we’re doing, or we’re discouraged overall with the trajectory of our business. When that does happen, how do you stay motivated and keep working towards the achievement of your goals?

Motivation is what fuels our actions and helps us to solve problems in our business and cope with the challenges that we face every day. Without that motivation or drive, it can be easy to feel stagnant, but it doesn’t need to stay that way.

Let me now share 7 tips to help you get out of that rut and on your way to crushing your goals!

1. Set Weekly Goals

2. Revisit Your “Why” Regularly

3. Identify What Makes You Feel Most Inspired and Set Aside Time for That Each Week

4. Work with an Accountability Partner, Coach, or Group

5. Surround Yourself with Other Business Owners

6. Reward Yourself for Reaching Your Goals, Big or Small

7. Set Specific Deadlines for Yourself

Maintaining motivation and drive isn’t always easy, but by following these seven tips, you’ll feel less overwhelmed and more prepared to knock off tasks to reach your goals. Once you’ve implemented one or all of these tips, write down the ones that worked the best for you and go back to them if you ever hit a roadblock in the future.

6 Ways Your Hobbies Can Help You Be Even More Successful

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 23 Feb 2023 07:00:00 -0800

Time is of the essence. Time is the only resource that cannot be controlled or generated. Because of this reason, many goal-driven people strive to learn how to maximize their valuable time and improve productivity with the finite amount of time available to all of us.

By consistently working on improving at time management, there has been a significant increase in workaholism. Many CEOs and entrepreneurs have blurred the lines between business and their personal lives. Some have simply erased the line that should create the much-needed balance in their lives.

It may seem counter-intuitive for you to carve time out of this limited resource for something as inconsequential as a hobby, but the powers and value of hobbies are not to be overlooked and underestimated.

Many highly successful entrepreneurs carve out time from their busy routines for their hobbies. Others learn new habits and add them to their growing list. What these two types of people can agree on is that having a hobby outside of work is beneficial.

Why? Listen in!!

5. Encourage Single Task Focus

What’s Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator?

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 07:00:00 -0800

We're all guilty of putting off a task because "I don't feel like doing it" or "I'll do it later." If you wait until the last moment to get started on your task, you may be wondering why you procrastinated.

Tim Urban, founder of the famous blog, Wait But Why, is no exception. Urban shared a story of his 90-page senior thesis in college and how he spent months thinking, 'I'll get it started on it tomorrow.'

Unfortunately, tomorrow never came, and months passed by without writing a single word. Then suddenly, Urban had only three days until the deadline. Thus, he pulled two all-nighters and finished a project that required months within 72 hours. And the thesis was terrible.

When you understand the underlying causes of procrastination, you can identify the right strategies to overcome them. As a result, you reach your full potential and start chasing your dreams.

What Goes Inside the Minds of Master Procrastinators?

Tim Urban, in his TED talk, built a framework representing the procrastinator's system:

· The Rational Decision-Maker

· The Instant Gratification Monkey

· The Panic Monster

Master procrastinators procrastinate in the following ways:

1. Procrastination on things with deadlines

2. Procrastination on things without deadlines

Chronic vs. Acute Procrastination

What are the Causes of Long-Term Procrastination?

What are the Signs of Chronic Procrastination?

What are the Effects of Long-Term Procrastination?

What Are Some Easy and Fun Ways Master Procrastinators Can be Successful at Battling Procrastination to Achieve Their Dreams?

Chronic or long-term procrastination can make it difficult for you to finish any task in any or all areas of your life. Therefore, your finances, academic, work, and personal relationships can suffer.

Use the anti-procrastinating tips mentioned above to help you combat procrastination so you can achieve your goals and dreams.

Identify Your Limiting Beliefs for Limitless Potential

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 07:00:00 -0800

Growth is a human need, and we all have desires and goals in life. Maybe you want to start your own business, change your career, change your business model, or you want to strengthen your relationships.

But something inside you is constantly nagging you, telling you can’t do it, you shouldn’t do it, and you mustn’t do it. Here’s the plain truth: that tugging feeling stopping you is an excuse – it’s a falsely conditioned perception of reality based on old memories.

The fact is that the only thing stopping you from achieving new heights and personal greatness is your limiting belief system. To become the most powerful version of yourself, you need to identify and overcome your limiting beliefs.

Belief is a state of mind – when you’re confident that something truly exists. It is something that an individual trusts to be facts, thus making it troublesome for you to identify them.

These beliefs, unfortunately, limit you from recognizing your true potential and achieving even greater success in all areas of business and life. In most cases, the beliefs you hold are unconscious thoughts that manifest as defense mechanisms.

How Do You Identify Limiting Beliefs?

Limiting beliefs resemble mental barriers hindering you from achieving your goals and unlocking your true potential. The beliefs you hold can inhibit you from creating the reality you desire and deserve.

What are three easy ways to overcome your limiting beliefs?

1. Acknowledge that Your Beliefs are Not Truths and Challenge Them

2. Organize Your Environment

3. Change Your Self-Talk

Remember that you are capable of anything and that you are in total control of your life. You need to identify and overcome your limiting beliefs to enable yourself to achieve your dreams.

It’s time to let go of your limiting beliefs and reach new and greater heights.

For more help on changing your limiting beliefs to empowering beliefs, so you can create your ideal business and ideal life, reach out to me today and schedule your complimentary consultation.

As a business owner, it’s hard to find enough time in the day to get everything done. From managing your team to guiding the trajectory of your business, it feels like you’re constantly bouncing from task to task but never really getting as much done as you need to and want to.

By putting a solid time management system in place, you can automate as much as possible, so you can focus your brain power on the activities that truly need your attention. I’m going to share seven tips that can help you to establish a system that works for you and will help you to take back your very valuable time, so you can be even more productive, and increase your overall success.

1. Use Time Blocking on Your Calendar

It can be very easy to be pulled in multiple directions throughout the day and try to multitask your way through a never-ending to-do list. By using time blocking for specific activities each day, you can focus on one thing at a time. For example, if you block off 11:00am to 11:30am to catch up on and respond to emails, then do your best to NOT check emails the rest of the day. If you need to, you can have two (or more, depending on your needs) time slots for emails throughout the day. I strongly recommend that you don’t have the “check email” time block as the first activity you do each day of the work week. For more on time blocking, go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/how-to-increase-your-business-efficiency-with-calendar-time-blocks/.

You can also use time blocking to dedicate specific days of the week to certain areas of your business. For example, Mondays could be for reaching out to new partners or vendors, Fridays could be a strategy day, Wednesdays could be for client acquisition and revenue generation activities.

Time blocking helps you to group tasks by projects or task type, so you can focus on one type of task at a time. If you’re responsible for content creation, such as writing blog posts, it may be easier to knock out a couple of posts within an hour than to do one blog post and then shift your mindset to working on company finances. In other words, do as many similar activities together as possible for maximum time efficiency.

Having a set schedule that includes when to work on certain activities, whether it’s written or on your phone, saves you from taking time to think about what to work o

How to Re-Evaluate and Re-Set Your Goals for Increased Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 07:00:00 -0800

Today we are talking about 5 Tips on How to Re-Evaluate and Re-Set Your Goals for Increased Success.

As an entrepreneur, you most likely have a list of goals for your business. But setting it and forgetting it isn’t the way to go. It’s important to revisit your goals periodically to make sure they still align with your vision.

The business landscape may change, or new trends may pop up, bringing new opportunities to re-examine your goals and shift your focus. Re-evaluating your goals also allows you to measure your progress and make adjustments where necessary.

When should you take a closer look at your goals? You should be checking in with yourself and your team consistently, whether that’s weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Apart from the consistent check-ins, you can also revisit your goals when there are changes in your organization, such as a shift to remote work, new technology innovations, a growing team across multiple locations, or an acquisition or merger.

Use these five tips, I’m about to share with you, to help you re-evaluate and re-set your goals!

1. Start with your long-term, larger goals.

What is the longer-term vision for your company? What is it that you want to accomplish or solve for? Write down your long-term goals, ideally documented for your team to look at also. A study conducted by Professor Gail Matthews found that people who write down their goals are 20% more successful in accomplishing them than those who don’t. Your team should be clear on what your company’s goals are, so that everything they do helps push the company forward towards those goals.

Once you have a list of your larger goals, break them down into smaller goals with a milestone of when you want to achieve them. By having a milestone in place, it gives you an actionable date to work towards, and you can track your progress along the way.

For example, if your long-term goal is to sell your business, a smaller goal might be to secure several major partnerships and clients. Set a specific, actionable goal for the quarter, such as “Secure [type of partnership] partnership with [target partner] by [date].” Hitting those smaller goals will help you to work towards the larger vision.

2. Determine what’s working or not working.

Do your business goals still serve your target audience in the best way possible? Are ther

Interview-Dr. Alex Swenson-Ridley, Health and Hormone Expert

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 10 Jan 2023 00:00:00 -0800

I think you find my guest to have valuable insight and ideas about women’s health and hormone issues. Men can also learn by listening to my guest share her approach to being even healthier.

Dr. Alexandra Swenson-Ridley is a thought leader in outside the box and natural approaches to women's health and hormones, focusing on what she has termed Selfless Syndrome. She is the founder of Emergent Women Coaching & Health Consulting and is building a business that serves both her clients and her health, while helping other women do the same. She is a PhD candidate in Integrative Medicine through Quantum University, and an Executive Contributor to Brainz Magazine. Her mission: to help women break through the constraints imposed by misinformation, society and a lack of self-worth and step into the awesome power of who they really are.

Here are a few questions I asked Dr. Alex that you will benefit from by listening to her interview:

• Why are some people struggling to lose weight despite doing "all the right things"?
• How is stress, our gut, and hormones are connected?
• Why is cutting calories and exercising more is the worst thing you can do for weight loss after 40?
• How stress impacts hormones and how do we de-stress?
o (What about infra-red saunas, Jacuzzi’s, meditation, breathwork, etc.?)
• Why are our thyroid tests "normal" but we can still feel crummy?
• Explain what insulin resistance means and why we might want to know about it and ask if this might be an issue for us.
• How many times have you heard this: “According to the doctor, my lab blood test results are "normal", but I still have symptoms and issues. What do I do?”
• How do we go about building sustainable morning and night-time routines that serve us well?

You can find my interview with Dr. Alexandra Swenson-Ridley at https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/my-podcast/, https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/accountabilitycoach.com/id290547573, https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id305208343, and on most podcast platforms and in most English-speaking countries.

10 Ideas to Help You Stick to Goals and Accelerate Your Results

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 05 Jan 2023 07:00:00 -0800

10 Ideas to Help You Stick to Goals and Accelerate Your Results

We tend to begin a new mission with the best of intentions and expectations; however, it's easy to fall off the wagon way too quickly.

Let’s explore ten ways to help you stick to your goals, so you can increase, and possibly accelerate, your business success and be on the path to having and enjoying your ideal business and ideal life.

1. Imagine Yourself Accomplishing it.

Big goals can seem irresistible, particularly if they lead to fundamental lifestyle changes. There's a plus aspect, though: You can be sure you'll feel somewhat different, in a positive way, when you accomplish them. Whenever your enthusiasm wanes, imagine how accomplished you'll feel when you reach the finish line. Visualize yourself succeeding. What does it feel like, sound like, and look like? Create a game plan for you to get the outcome you envisioned.

2. Evaluate Now Against Later.

You can be persuaded to skip an early morning workout instead of sleeping in, or dig into the chips and dip when you know you need to eat a healthy meal. When you depend on pure determination to do or not make something, attempt to contemplate how much long-term satisfaction you'll get out of it. Compare the success you've imagined, to the one you’ve achieved and see how great you’ve done and how much progress you have made.

3. Build Accountability.

Talk with a friend or peer about what you need to do to achieve your goals, then set a deadline and document your progress using a simple spreadsheet for your key metrics. For many people, it's crucial to feel accountable to somebody other than yourself and you can build the same motivation through talking about your goals with others. If you need to eat healthier, create a better eating challenge with friends at work, for example. Want to do more prospecting calls to increase revenue? Set weekly call goals with a peer.

4. Break it Down into Manageable Pieces.

No matter what you need to achieve, it can be broken down into minor pieces. Rather than mustering the motivation to work out, push yourself to get up and put on your exercise clothes. Instead of tidying up the house, pick up a few misplaced items. Once you've begun moving in the right path, it's much simpler to keep going, making it more likely that you'll finish the chore.

5. Take a Day Off.

It may be counterintuitive, but you don't

Happy New Year! Let’s kick some butt in 2023!

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 03 Jan 2023 07:00:00 -0800

“What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year.” I think this is a great quote by Vern McLellan.

We all have 365 days in a year. The only difference between the successful people and the mediocre is what we do with each day. We spend every second of every day doing something. Are those activities moving you forward or keeping you where you currently are?

I just wanted to take a quick moment to say how much I appreciate your business and continued support.

It is a pleasure for me to be able to serve entrepreneurs and business professionals like you.

I believe that you and I have the ability to have a positive impact on this world. That's why I'm so excited to serve our community.

2022 has been written and I hope our relationship will grow into something even more amazing in 2023.

When hard-working, values- and goals-driven people like you and I put our heads together, there's no limit to what we can accomplish.

Thank you for your continued support and I hope you let me know how else I can be of service to you in 2023 and beyond.

I wish you a very healthy, happy, and profitable new year.

Oprah Winfrey said: “Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.”

I welcome your comments and feedback on how I can help you make 2023 your best year ever!

Aim for what you want each and every day! Until next time, make it a great day, today and every day. I very much appreciate you listening.

7 Practices for Self-care as an Entrepreneur

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 00:00:00 -0800

You may have heard many people preaching to entrepreneurs that they can only be successful if they work consistently. Often, many misread this advice and work to the point of exhaustion, sacrificing self-care, and personal time in the process.

The truth is that prioritizing hard work over your own well-being is equivalent to self-destruction. You may start out with big business plans, but what good will those be if you burn yourself out long before you can enjoy success?

Hence, my advice to all business owners is to strike a balance between self-care and hard work. I assure you, it is absolutely possible to nail your goals and nurture your business while also taking care of your health and wellness.

5 Tips on How to Practice Gratitude in Business and in Life

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 08 Dec 2022 00:00:00 -0800

Practicing gratitude is often associated with our personal lives and relationships. It’s often overlooked in business, yet it can play such an important role in a healthy company culture and long-term client relationships.

Business is ultimately about relationships. Being able to cultivate genuine relationships with people is an integral part of your company’s success, which is why it’s crucial to practice gratitude regularly within your business.

Not only can you improve the mentality of the employees on your team by expressing gratitude, but you may also find yourself more grounded and at peace overall. Running a business can often mean going full steam at all times, but taking the time to stop and appreciate the people around you, and what you have, can actually do a lot not just for others, but for yourself as well.

Let’s explore five gratitude exercises to get you started on the path to living a gratitude-based life.

Interview with Eric D’Agati, Fitness Industry Expert

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 06 Dec 2022 00:00:00 -0800

I believe my guest has a great message for everyone to hear about the benefits of having even better health and fitness. Our health is so most important to be able to do what we need to do every day and to help us achieve our professional and personal goals.

Eric D’Agati has spent the past 20+ years in the fitness industry as a coach, trainer, and instructor, pioneering his unique approach to training, client assessment, performance enhancement and injury prevention.

Eric is a guest speaker for prestigious organizations such as Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York University Medical, the Navy SEALS, US Army, Nike and SPARQ Camps, The Mayo Clinic, and multiple major universities.

His list of training clients includes individuals who have been an Olympic Gold Medalist, All-Americans, National Champions, World Series Champions, and Pro-Bowl athletes. He also works with many high-level County, State, National and World Champion sports teams just to name a few….

Here are a few questions I asked Eric that you will benefit from by listening to his interview:

• How is our level of health and fitness connected to our ability to optimize our career performance?
• What simple daily habits can change our energy levels and output throughout the day?
• So many times I hear comments from my clients about how they just didn’t have the time, or they couldn’t get their exercise in, or not enough time in the day to get to the gym, etc. How does a busy professional fit a workout program into an already overloaded schedule?
• How do I assess my current state of health and see where I need the most improvement?
• What are the best protocols to deal with muscle injuries to speed up recovery?
• What are the key elements of a successful training program?
• What are the biggest mistakes people make in their training?

May your potatoes and gravy Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious, and your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner Stay off your thighs!

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the United States! If you aren’t in the US, have a fantastic day and remember to aim for what you want each and every day! Until next time, make it a great day, today and every day. I appreciate you listening.

Aim for what you want each and every day!

4 Ways to Help You Rediscover a Passion for Your Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "We’ve all heard the phrase “Do what you love, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.” But what if we start falling out of love with that one thing? How do we rediscover our passion for our business and become re-inspired?\n\nIt’s completely normal not to have the same gumption for your business that you did when you first launched it. Back then, everything was new, and you were discovering and learning every single day. But now, years have passed, and you may find yourself doing the same thing day in and day out. Maybe you’re even wondering if you made the right decision to pursue growing this business.\n\nIf your business no longer serves your needs and you’re not finding fulfillment in it at all, then maybe it’s a sign to quit and start over. However, maybe all you need is a boost to get your creative juices flowing again and rediscover the love for your business.\n\n1. Look for new ways to challenge yourself.\n\nLearning something new can kickstart your mind and help you start thinking more creatively again. While your business may be in a stable place, there may be opportunities you’re missing out on by not exploring new ways to grow.\n\nStudy new trends and challenge yourself to make them relevant to your business, if it makes sense to. It’s always a good idea to stay up to date with new technology, new ways to create and distribute content, and new ideas popping up in your industry or other industries.\n\nSet new goals for yourself and for your business. It could be a collaboration with a larger brand, a higher sales goal, adding a new product or service, or growing your team. With each new goal comes a new challenge, and pushing yourself can be the inspiration you need to fall back in love with what you do.\n\n2. Find a mentee to share your wisdom with.\n\nYou may have knowledge about your industry and business that you take for granted, especially if you’ve been growing your business for many years. By finding a mentee to share your wisdom with, you’ll be able to see things through fresh eyes and gain a greater appreciation for the knowledge that you’ve amassed over the years. Seeing your mentee get excited about what you do can also remind you of what got you into doing what you do in the first place.\n\nBy revisiting certain ways of doing things, you may even discover that there have been new developments for improved ways of doing the same work, which will help you to expand your wisdom of knowledge and become more successful in your

6 Ways That Mindfulness and Exercise Impact Business Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 03 Nov 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Practicing yoga and mindfulness has many health benefits. Yoga is a low-impact form of exercise that can lead to better heart health and help with back pain relief that many entrepreneurs can use. Mindfulness and meditation can lead to better cognitive health and improved moods. In addition to the health benefits that mindfulness and exercise bring, they can contribute positively to our business success as well.\n\nIn a fast-paced business world, learning how to slow down is immensely important, and can give you an edge over your competitors. Not only that, but calming our minds and being able to craft a clear vision and leave room for inspired thoughts is a practice that we can refine and utilize to push our business forward.\n\nLet’s now explore the six ways that mindfulness and exercise can impact your business success. \n\n1. Mindfulness gives us clarity over our business vision\nMindfulness is being aware of your thoughts, your feelings, and your environment. It’s the act of removing ourselves from the hustle and bustle of our current state, and creating space for our mind to wander and to reconnect with ourselves. By practicing mindfulness, we can gain important insights into our vision for our business.\n\nYou can practice mindfulness with just a few simple steps:\n\nFocus on Your Breathing\nStart a steady pattern of breathing in, holding it for a few seconds, and then exhaling out. Feel the sensation of your breath as it comes in through your nose and out through your mouth.\n\nBe Aware of Your Body\nAs you breathe, start to be more aware of your body. Pay attention to how you’re feeling and the places where you are holding tension, and breathe through it to release the tension.\n\nLet Your Mind Wander\nGive your mind the freedom to wander. You may be surprised where it takes you when you’re not hyper-focused on your to-do list (or Prioritized Action List (PAL) as I like to call it).\n\nAllowing ourselves the space to be present in the moment helps strip away things that may seem more pressing. You may be stressing about how to move your business forward and practicing mindfulness could bring you back to a place of remembering your “why” and what you’re truly passionate about, which could provide clarity into a longer-term vision.\n\n2. Meditation keeps us calm in the face of tumultuous times\nMeditation helps us take a step back and refocus ourselves. When your business is in the midst of difficult times, meditating can help us to regain control o

How Positive Self Talk Will Overcome Limiting Beliefs

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "We’re all writers, crafting a lengthy narrative with the best chapters possible. But often, we create loopholes in our story of success ourselves. Do you know how? By letting our limiting beliefs hold us back from achieving what is within our grasp. \n\nLimiting beliefs are misconstrued thoughts, with no foundation or reality. They stem from certain bad experiences from the past, hereditary experiences, or from societal and cultural restrictions. But the fact is that limiting beliefs hold us back. They don’t allow us the grand and successful ending your truly deserve. \n\nIf you are in a quest to overcome any limiting beliefs you might have, keep listening in. I’m here to tell you how self-talk is the key to overcoming them and finding your freedom. \n\nOvercome Limiting Beliefs - Here’s How\nMany of us consciously or unconsciously tend to develop limiting beliefs in childhood or teenage years. They may stem from a devastating personal experience or by seeing the experiences of others in our circle. Fact is that these become a permanent part of our personality by the time we have matured. \n\nThe unfortunate consequence of failing to overcome our limiting beliefs is that we fail to play big and shine like we could have. We let the limiting mindset pull us back from our calling, such as our business venture, for example. \n\nWhen you shift from your limiting beliefs, you begin experiencing greater victories, start feeling happier, and more fulfilled. Let’s explore how you can shift from limiting beliefs to having an empowering mindset.\n\n1. Pause to Think \nWhenever you plan a new venture, a new break, or a new change and fears erupt, then pause and reflect on your fears. Remind yourself that you are simply in a low-mood and thinking about your upcoming activity is not the right thing to do at the moment. \n\n2. Address each Limiting Belief\nThe best way to do this is to write down each limiting belief. For example, if you are planning to launch a vegan food line, some of the limiting beliefs you could have are:\n\n•\tI might not be able to make the food taste good\n•\tMy vegan food will not appeal to the food lovers \n•\tMeat eaters will not come to my business and my venture will fail\n•\tI am too old to experiment with this new venture\n\nNow while all these may be valid concerns, you cannot however, allow these to be your limiting beliefs. It is true that meat lovers can take time or have difficulty adjusting to an all plant-based diet. However, there

5 Ways to Increase Your Business Efficiency with Time Blocks

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "As a business owner, the only real challenge you have is time. Time is a factor that stands against you due to its limited availability. There are only twenty-four hours in a day (8 to 10 hours for sleep, transportation, eating, and other chores to do). Due to this limited time, learning to manage your time effectively is the best way to reach your goals.\n\nTime has a powerful impact on your overall results. At the end of every day, it is important to take stock of what you were able to achieve. Also, pay attention to how you split your time during the day.\n\nAs a business owner, many activities impact the way you manage your time. There are prospects to contact and follow-up with, the financials to pay attention to, existing clients to service, and inventories to monitor. In addition, there are also other important aspects of your business such as bills to be paid, staff to manage, and all kinds of decisions to be made. In short, there aren’t enough waking hours to deal with all there is to be done.\n\nThis is why effective time management is a vital skill for all business professionals and seasoned entrepreneurs. \n\nHow can you manage your time effectively?\n\nEffective time management is where time blocks come to the rescue.\n\nThe challenge you, as an entrepreneur, face is your inability to streamline your focus into a few tasks without getting distracted by other tasks to be completed.\n\nLack of focus becomes a problem because when you split your attention into all the tasks you have to complete. You won’t be able to complete any of them while doing this. As a business owner, new tasks can spring up daily, and you’ll need excellent time management skills to carry out your business.\n\nTime blocks serve as a way to carefully break your day into very specific blocks of time. Activities are scheduled for certain hours (blocks) of the day.\n\nWhen managing your time, you can streamline your focus into a few tasks that should be completed daily.\n\nTime blocks help you keep your focus on a particular task at a particular time, and for a period of time. By doing this, you can avoid procrastination and complete each task more quickly. You can also make important decisions and become up to 80% more productive.\n\nFive ways to improve your time management using time blocks\n\nThere is a shift in work ethics requirements from how much work is done to what results are produced at the end of each day. Because of this, multi-tasking has been exposed to presen

5 Ways to Set Realistic “Stretch” Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 13 Oct 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "All entrepreneurs have big dreams. The ability to dream of better lives and achievements is what drives many to start their own business. \n\nAs a business owner, your single goal is to ensure the success of your business. This is done by making in-depth plans and decisions targeted towards the survival and growth of your business.\n\nWhat this means for your personal life is long hours dedicated to gaining essential skills, building your business, making leadership connections, and possibly working twice as hard as other business professionals.\n\nYour business should have its unique goals broken into milestones that’ll help you track your progress and gauge your performance compared to your competitors. \n\nThe ability to set realistic “stretch” goals and following them to completion has always counted as a skill successful business owners have.\n\nGoal setting helps measure your level of success in ways that hold you accountable for every milestone. This is because setting realistic “stretch” goals challenges you, motivates you, and keeps you focused while providing a tangible measure of growth and success.\n\nWhen it comes to goal setting, you can dream big. The important thing to keep in mind is to dream in moderation. The end goal may be to grow and expand and become the powerhouse in your niche. Recognize that while setting your goals, you should make them a realistic “stretch” in ways that make every milestone achievable.\n\nConsequences of Setting Unrealistic Goals \n\nUnrealistic goal-setting practices are the bane of many entrepreneurs. The pressure of climbing a mountain so high and steep without any experience with its challenges cause many businesses to fail after a short period of time.\n\nIt is essential to focus on what the consequences of setting unrealistic goals have on an entrepreneur and their business.\n\nNegative Emotions\nWhen you set unrealistic goals, negative emotions begin to set in. For every failed contract comes disappointment and for every sluggish sale comes sadness and anxiety. This can slowly deteriorate to lower self-esteem and a slew of medical problems. \n\nSetting unrealistic goals creates an insurmountable obstacle that prevents you from seeing your little wins. \n\nUnrealistic goals also put a strain on your relationship with your friends and family. When it seems like you are surrounded by others who keep winning, feelings of envy and jealousy begin to creep in. This, in turn, makes you avoid and neglect the suppo

7 Tips to Enhance Your Performance in Life

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 29 Sep 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "The need for a balanced life is more important than ever. Too often, our work life and personal life overlaps, so enhancing your overall performance can only benefit both aspects of your life. Having a growth mindset can help you to overcome any challenges you may face, both professionally and personally.\n\nBy following these seven tips to enhance your performance in life, you’ll be more likely to maximize your potential and reach your goals in the timeframe you desire. Are you ready to start implementing changes into your life that will increase your performance and help you grow as an individual? If yes, then keep listening!\n\n1. Set Crystal Clear Goals\nAs a business owner, you may be constantly thinking about setting your team up for success, but don’t forget about yourself! Set yourself up for success by setting clear goals. You set your annual goals and review your progress every month to help you know where you are against your annual goals, so you can course correct, if you are off track at all. \n\nIf you’re not sure where to start, you can start by setting longer term, larger goals and breaking them down into smaller and more manageable goals.\n\nFor example, you can set a goal of running a half marathon in the next year. Break that goal down weekly by starting small and running 3 miles a week, then build up slowly until you’re running more and more each week. By the time the half marathon comes along, it’ll be a breeze for you to do!\n\nAnother example is, instead of setting a goal to “increase revenue for the year,” set a specific goal with an actual number, such as “increase revenue to $120,000 by year end.” Then break that down into smaller goals by month, such as “hit $10k in revenue per month.” Once you have a more concrete goal, you can plan out the actual steps it takes to achieve that goal!\n\n2. Practice Effective Communication\nEffective communication is so important in both our personal lives as well as in business. Practicing empathy goes hand-in-hand with communicating effectively. Whether you’re speaking with a loved one or a co-worker, approach the conversation with empathy and an open ear. Start by trying to see where they’re coming from, and use phrases to describe how you feel, not what you don’t like about the other person’s actions.\n\nListening well is a very important skill that needs to consistently be practiced to be refined. It can be easy to hear something and react immediately. It’s much harder to listen, take time t

When we’re faced with a laundry list of to-dos and with not enough time in the day, it can be easier to distract ourselves and push things off to the next day. And when more items get added to our list, it becomes overwhelming, and we continue to procrastinate even more. A vicious cycle, but one that can be overcome.\n\nIn order to overcome procrastination, we have to first understand it. Start with perspective—procrastination may not be something you can ever fully get rid of. And that’s okay. When you accept that it may be a part of your process, that’s the first step to figuring out how to work through it. The reason why many of us procrastinate is because we choose to do something that’s more immediately gratifying than something we know we need to do, but it is probably not as fun. Procrastination is an emotional reaction, and we put off necessary tasks in order to stay happy in the moment.\n\nSo, how do you overcome procrastination and move on to a mode of productivity? Here are 5 tips to trick your mind into overcoming procrastination.\n\n1. Make It Super Easy to Get Started on Your Task\n\nThe hardest part of completing some tasks is getting started. Sometimes thinking about a task can snowball into feeling overwhelmed because of what the task entails. If you’re going into the task with a dreaded mindset, that will make it harder to get started. It’s much easier to get started if you don’t think about it as much.\n\nFor example, if the task at hand is getting out of bed to go work out, you might find yourself thinking about how you have to find your workout clothes, then you need to make sure you have clean socks, and by the time you work out, half your day will be over—before you know it, you’ve convinced yourself to stay in bed.\n\nSet things up ahead of time so it’s super easy to get started. If your goal is to work out in the morning, make sure your clothes are laid out the night before. Then, when you wake up, just get out of bed. Don’t spend time thinking about whether or not you want to work out, or you’ll fall into the same pattern as before. Just get up, get dressed, and get out.\n\nIf the task at hand is making prospecting calls to potential clients, start with making a list of people to call and the script you will use for what to say. Once you have that list and script, set it next to your laptop (or open it in a notes document on your laptop) the day before you even star

5 Types of Cybersecurity Threats

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "There is an entire industry dedicated to fighting cyberattacks and making sure other companies have solid cybersecurity systems in place. Cyberattacks have become increasingly common, and typically involve some sort of breach of information systems to steal sensitive data or deny users’ access to their data. Many attacks have a financial motive, so it’s crucial to protect your company against the possibility of a breach.\n\nIt only takes one attack to bring down a network and do serious damage to your business, but if you take the necessary steps to protect your systems, you have a much better chance of thwarting any hackers’ attempts.\n\nThere are several different types of cybersecurity threats, and it’s important to know what they are so you can understand how to fight them.\n\n1. Malware\nMalware, or malicious software, is an umbrella term for all sorts of programs designed to hack, disrupt, or damage a device. Malware breaches the security of your device and can steal data or control your device. It works by tricking users into clicking something they shouldn’t click, which then downloads malicious code into their system. Types of malware can include viruses, trojans, spyware, bots, bugs, and ransomware.\n\nYou can prevent malware by using tools that detect a breach early, such as software that scans your network, and removes any malware it detects. Never click on a link you aren’t exactly sure where it came from. Even emails that may seem okay and legit, are not. \n\nMalwarebytes offers a free and an affordable paid version to help with possible malware issues on your computer. Check it out by going to https://www.malwarebytes.com/. I personally use this software on my computer and on my phone. \n\n2. Ransomware\nRansomware is exactly what it sounds like—your data is taken hostage until you pay a ransom to get it back. It can be considered a type of malware, and is spread throughout your network through various ways, such as phishing emails that have malicious code attached, or drive-by downloading, which is when a user visits a site that’s infected with malware and unknowingly downloads it to their device.\n\nOnce ransomware has infected a device, it encrypts the user or company’s data so they can’t access any of their files. It spreads quickly across the database and servers, and the attacker holds a private key needed to decrypt the files until the ransom is paid.\n\nThere may be some situation in which the attacker refuses to release the private

Using a Goal Setting Vision Board to Reach Your Dreams

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Having dreams and goals is an incredible thing; it keeps you motivated and gives you purpose. But without a well-thought-out plan, a goal rarely executes well. Planning is a fantastic way of staying focused on your goals and achieving personal greatness. \n\nVision boards are helpful and inspirational tools that make your dreams and goals feel more accessible. These boards can be a fun art project that maximizes your motivation and pushes you to try harder.\n\nVision boards are like a sacred visual space that displays all things you want to achieve in life. Therefore, it helps you stay on the right path. Let’s discuss how you can set a goal-setting vision board and effectively use it as a visualization tool.\n\nWhat is a Vision Board? \n\nA vision board is a physical reminder of things you want to achieve in a specific timeframe. Typically, vision board ideas include photos, words, and virtually any other visual displays. \n\nThese boards act as a visualization tool to help you hit your personal, professional, and material goals. By placing visual representations of your dreams in one space, you can look at them daily and even activate the Law of Attraction.\n\nHow Do You Use a Goal Board, Dream Board, and Inspiration Board to Set Goals? \nVision boards are the perfect tool to picture your dreams and goals. Goal boards, dream boards, motivational boards, inspiration boards, and various other different types of vision boards serve the same purpose: to inspire, to motivate, to help you achieve great heights. \n\nVision boards help you set goals in two ways:\n•\tTap into your receptivity and imagine all that could and can be. These visions include color, feelings, words, or sensations\n•\tUnlock your space of intention and find your deepest desires by engaging in expressing, exploring, and representing them \n\nWhat is the Difference Between a Vision Board and Goals? \n\nWe are all guilty of making extensive lists of goals and resolutions. We all create plans, set goals, and make resolutions- but more often than not, our goals may not always be realistic, and our plans and resolutions fall apart. \n\nWhenever our goal doesn’t go the way we planned, we feel defeated, hopeless, and unworthy. And then the next year comes around the corner, and we repeat the cycle. \n\nVision boards help you break the cycle. Vision boards include the big picture of the years ahead and inspire you to take action, so you will be on the path to achieving and enjoying what you pu

How Believing in Yourself Can Help You Grow Your Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "What can give you the “power” to succeed? Belief. Belief in yourself. Belief in your business model. Belief that you have the skills and experience, and tenacity to propel your business products and/or services forward and achieve your dream of even greater success. \n\nYes, you need: \n1.\tResources\n2.\tConnections \n3.\tAnd Maybe Even a Little Bit of “Luck”\n\nThose tools are ideal tools in your toolbox of entrepreneurship, but even with all of those, you still need to believe that you can… and then you will! \n\nOne of the biggest differences between successful people and people who struggle is that those who are successful, believed that they were going to be a success and they moved toward goals to make it happen. \n\nHow can you believe in yourself even more? Let’s explore 6 concepts that can help you.\n\n1.\tWork on your self-confidence. Self-confidence goes a long way toward your achieving the goals you’ve set for yourself. If you don’t have confidence in who you are and what you do, you will be set adrift at the first sign of trouble. As an entrepreneur you will be faced with a myriad of challenges, and you need to believe in yourself enough to know you can navigate the rocky water.\n2.\tWhy would anyone else believe in you if you don’t believe in yourself? There really is no reason, right? If you can’t look at yourself in the mirror and know that you can be a success, you won’t be able to project that belief onto a potential client. That potential client will sense your self-doubt and in turn will worry about tying his or her business to your goods or services. \n3.\tWhen you believe in yourself you have removed an obstacle from your path. Belief in yourself is very powerful and helps you win and succeed. \n4.\tWhen you believe in yourself your positive self-talk and your positive attitude will feed upon itself. Your belief in yourself will help you project a winning attitude into every conversation you have with a potential client and with your current clients. \n5.\tYour belief in the project in front of you will motivate you to action. If you’re frozen in place because you’re not sure if what you’re trying to do will “work,” you will find and make excuses to procrastinate. A strong belief in what you’re doing will have you jumping up to take immediate action and that action will spur further action. \n6.\tYou know that even if you fail, it’s a part of the process. You also know that failure is a temporary setback. When you believe in what you

9 Tips to Help You Stop Procrastinating

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "We’ve all had an action item on our to-do list that has been there all week or even all month, and we avoid it like the plague. You know you should be working on it, but you’ve refilled your water bottle 5 times, done your client service work, checked all your social media, completed some online business training, and are reading any blog you can find. And then the activity you have been dreading is now due and the deadline has been missed. For some, this procrastination cycle just keeps repeating. It’s normal to procrastinate, most times because a task is overwhelming or you don’t like doing it even though you are the only one who can do it, but it is probably affecting your business more than you realize. \n\nWhy Do You Procrastinate?\nUnderstanding why you are not working on something can help you to manage it. Piers Steel, who wrote The Procrastination Equation states that procrastination occurs for three distinct reasons:\n1.\tLack of self-confidence to achieve a goal.\n2.\tNot interested in the task.\n3.\tDistracted by impulsive behavior.\n\nAccording to Steel, if you do not value or expect that you will achieve your goal, you are more likely to procrastinate in some aspect of it. If you are influenced by short-term gratifications, you can also be distracted from reaching your goal. These distractions steal time away from what you should be working on and cause you to lose productivity and motivation.\n\nHow Can I Reduce or Stop Procrastinating (you might be wondering)? \n\nLet’s explore 9 tips that will help you.\n1.\tAnnounce Your Goals. Telling people about what you want to achieve holds you more accountable to it. I strongly suggest you also want to write about it or write it down for your own purposes. Revisit or talk about it often, so that it does not stray too far from you mind. Tracking your goals also helps you to not procrastinate because you know where you are at against your annual goals at any given moment in time. You can easily measure the progress you are making. \n\n2.\tBreak it Down. Cut your task into smaller pieces that are more manageable to handle. You’ll find that you feel like your workload is not quite as overwhelming and you will be able to knock off a couple of tasks in no time. It is easier to make progress on tasks when you have them broken down into smaller pieces. \n\n3.\tMake a Timeline. Having one deadline for a project is pure procrastination. When you break your project into milestones, set a deadli

5 Proven Strategies for Overcoming Difficult Issues

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Whether navigating tricky conversations or counseling employees through conflict, there are always going to be difficult workplace issues that crop up. How you handle these obstacles will go a long way toward determining the atmosphere of your office. Will the office be a space where you and your team can speak and work freely, or will it be a place that stifles creativity and operates out of fear discipline? All workplaces are comprised of imperfect individuals that have good intentions but will still inevitably fail, struggle, or cause conflict. Mistakes happen, errors will be made, and feelings might get hurt. Having a plan in place for how you will respond to these things and mitigate the fallout will set you on a path to a peaceful and successful work environment. \n\nWhen difficult times arise, consider trying out one or more of the following five proven strategies:\n\n1. Practice Patience\nA good rule of thumb when faced with a difficult situation like a disgruntled employee or a grumpy client is to take a deep breath and just listen. Many times, if you can help the person you are interacting with feel heard, the situation will de-escalate on its own. We all long to be understood and valued, so when you patiently give those around you ample space to air their grievances and vent their frustrations (even if they are unfounded or if you disagree with them) you are feeding the side of them that longs to be seen and appreciated. Once they are done talking, take a brief moment to gather your own thoughts; then, calmly restate what they said to you and work with them to achieve a solution that works for everyone involved.\n\n2. Grow in Gratitude\nIf you can cultivate an office culture of thankfulness, you may be surprised at how much the attitudes of everyone in your workspace elevate. Recognizing your employees’ successes and telling them often that you appreciate their hard work will help them feel valued, and will often build a spirit of excitement and congeniality, which acts like a hedge of protection against the small, everyday inconveniences and irritations that can crop up. \n\nIf you need a little help with being grateful more and having more gratitude in your life, download my complimentary Gratitude Journal Exercise, by going to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/gratitude/. I hope you get value and insight from using this Gratitude Journal exercise.\n\n3. Bite the Bullet\nWhile it can be tempting to sweep conflict under the rug – especially

Why Aren’t You More Productive?

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Do you walk into your office armed with an ambitious to-do list then watch the day fade away with your having not completed the tasks you’d set forth? Why aren’t you more productive? \n\nThere are a myriad of reasons you’re not achieving the goals you’d set for yourself and I’m going to help you explore some of them. \n\nBefore you can determine why you’re not more productive you need to measure your productivity if it was where you believe it should be and why and where you think you may be missing the mark. \n\nWhat does productivity mean to you? \n\nDoes it mean: \n1.\tChecking off items on a to-do list?\n2.\tGetting out of the office “on time”?\n3.\tBringing in X number of new clients per week/day?\n4.\tGenerating X amount of revenue each month?\n\nTo truly measure your productivity is to look at the larger picture when it comes to your personal productivity. \n\nDetermine what productivity means to you and your business goals. Are you focusing on those items that are necessary to grow the business or are you more focused on checking items off a to-do list? For some entrepreneurs, the feeling of satisfaction that comes from having completed a plethora of tasks is more fulfilling than having tackled a large project that may not have an immediate pay off of ticking it off your task list. If that’s the case with you, take your large project and put it on your list – if checking off an item makes you feel productive and keeps you motivated, then don’t deny that internal feeling. \n\nTrack which items are necessary to your business growth. If you spend your time on a myriad of administrative tasks to the detriment of the large business growth tasks, you need to concentrate on your highest payoff activities and not pursuing activities that will not produce results in your business. \n\nAlways Prioritize Your Tasks \n\nWrite down all the tasks you need to complete to grow your business. These tasks include the mundane (order office supplies) to the necessary (meet with potential clients, find speaking engagements, perform follow up calls, ask existing clients for referrals, send proposals). Once you’ve written down all of the tasks you need to perform in your business on a daily, weekly, or monthly timeframe you need to prioritize them. \n\nTo prioritize you need to determine which are tasks: \n1.\tOnly you can do and nobody else can do.\n2.\tThose you could delegate.

5 Reasons Why You NEED to Make Time for Health and Fitness

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 04 Aug 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "As a successful business owner, you probably realize how difficult it can be to make time for yourself. After all, you did start a successful business from the ground up! You are also needed to oversee the day to day functions of your business, which can really cut into personal time. You might not mind working long hours and never getting time to yourself, but there are a few ways in which such a schedule can really impact you… and one of these is in the realm of fitness and physical health. \n\nThere are a number of good reasons to stay physically active, fit, and healthy… and I’m going to talk about five of them. There may be more good reasons (many more, actually), but these are probably five of the most important. Taking these five reasons into account will DEFINITELY help you to see that it is in your own best interest to stay in good physical condition. \n\n1… You Will Improve Your Overall Health\nEating right and exercising helps you in a lot of ways, and keeping you healthy is at the top of them! If you don’t eat right and naturally replenish your body’s energy and rebuild your immune system, you are going to have far less energy and be far more susceptible to diseases and sicknesses then you would otherwise. By exercising, you will get your body up and moving, which will decrease your odds of developing conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Three of the most IMPORTANT things that you can give your body to ensure that you will be as healthy as possible are…\n\n1.\tAdequate sleep\n2.\tNutritious foods\n3.\tDaily physical exercise\n\n2… You Will Lose Weight and Keep it Off\nExercise and a healthy diet will also help you to shed those unwanted pounds that you have wanted to get rid of. Losing weight is important if you are overweight, but even if you aren’t, it is important to remember that sitting at a desk all day (as a lot of business owners do) can quickly work against your natural metabolism and cause you to gain weight. Getting at least 20 minutes of exercise per day, and eating sensible with well-rounded meals (most of the time) can greatly reduce the risks of you gaining more weight than is healthy or beneficial. \n\n3… You Will Have More Energy\nAnother great reason to take care of your body through exercise and a healthy diet is that you will have a lot more energy when you do so. Do you drink a lot of soda? Do you drink enough water every day? Do you fail to exercise on a daily basis? Just cutting out sugary dri

10 Consistent Habits of Successful Entrepreneurs

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 28 Jul 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "The most successful entrepreneurs have a foundation of creating good habits or setting up a system to make tiny changes that deliver big results.\n\nWith everything you have to do each day, your time is very precious, and it’s incredibly important for you to be intentional with each minute that you have. Creating daily habits will not only help your efficiency, it will also help you to grow and become a better person over time.\n\nHere are ten habits of successful entrepreneurs that you can implement into your daily life or implement even better.\n\n1. Create a Routine\nWhen you have a set routine, you know what comes next and don’t need to spend time figuring out how to make the most of your day. Start with a set morning routine, whether that’s exercising in the morning, taking the dog for a walk, enjoying breakfast with your family, or going straight into your workday.\n\nIf you’re a morning person, your routine might start with a 6am jog, breakfast, and coffee while you read a motivational blog or watch a YouTube video. Whatever your routine, stick to it for success that lasts.\n\n2. Use Time Blocking for Ultimate Productivity\nTime blocking is the act of scheduling out each moment of your day on your calendar (https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/how-to-increase-your-business-efficiency-with-calendar-time-blocks/). You can set aside time for your morning workout, a time for emails (which I strongly recommend is not first thing in the morning), or a time to work on the vision for your company. By focusing on each activity during a specific time block, you can and will increase your productivity, rather than being pulled in many directions. \n\nDid you know that some of the most productive people in the world swear by time blocking? Ever heard of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Michael Hyatt, or Cal Newport? Yep – all time-blockers. They’re squeezing every drop of productivity from their days, and so can you.\n\n3. Push Yourself Out of Your Comfort Zone\nThe most successful entrepreneurs are constantly pushing themselves out of their comfort zones. Make a habit of going out of your comfort zone, whether it’s saying yes to things you normally wouldn’t, or taking something just one step farther. Do something that scares you—if you have a healthy relationship with fear, you will grow as both an individual and a successful entrepreneur.\n\n4. Break Down Large Goals into Smaller Goals\nWhen you create habits for yourself, you want to make sure you’re setting yourself

Interview with Brenden Kumarasamy, Communications Expert

[[:encoded, "I think you will find my guest to be a great resource in helping you to be an even better communicator, so you can be even more successful and be on the path to having your ideal business and ideal life. \n\nBrenden Kumarasamy is the founder of MasterTalk. He coaches ambitious executives and entrepreneurs to become great communicators in their industry and in their life. He has a popular YouTube channel called MasterTalk, with the goal of providing free access to communication tools everyone can use. \n \nHere are just a few of the questions I asked Brenden that you will benefit from by listening to his interview:\n\n•\tCommunication is critical if we want to get anywhere in business and in life. So, what do world class communicators do to be world class?\n•\tWhat should we start practicing tomorrow for being even better communicators?\n•\tWhat daily exercises can we use to practice effective communication?\n•\tIf we have call reluctance, what would we need to know to be better at communicating with prospective clients?\n•\tI have clients who say they don’t want to be salesy in how they communicate.

6 Cybersecurity Tips to Protect Your Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Making sure your business has systems in place to withstand cyberattacks is one of the most important actions you need to do. As a business owner, you have an obligation to protect your company’s sensitive information, as well as your clients’ information.\n\nThe Equifax data breach of 2017 exposed the personal data of millions of people. As a result, Equifax had to pay $700 million in settlement fees. This is just one of many unfortunate examples. Smaller businesses may be even easier targets, which is why it’s very important to have a solid cybersecurity strategy in place.\n\nIf you’re not sure where to start, let’s review 6 tips to help you increase your company’s cybersecurity to protect your business.\n\n1. Use Secure Passwords and Multi-factor Authentication\n\nNot only should you have a strong password to sign into the various platforms and software that your business uses, it’s also good practice to change those passwords regularly and use multi-factor authentication.\n\nLonger passwords are better—at least 8 characters, with a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Passwords can be hacked with automated software that tries every possible combination, so the longer your password is, the more combinations it has to try.\n\nMulti-factor authentication is when you need a password and an additional step. It’s also called two-step verification. This reduces the likelihood of a successful attack because there is additional information needed. Typically, this is a code sent to the user’s cell phone, or a code generated by a two-factor authentication (2FA) app such as Authy.\n\nYou can use a password manager to manage the various passwords for your accounts, so you’re not reusing the same one, or having to try and remember all the passwords you have for all your accounts. If one account gets hacked, then any other account using the same password can also more easily get hacked. And whatever you do, avoid using the word “password” as your password at all costs.\n\nThere are many password manger options. Some are:\n \n•\tDashlane\n•\tLastPass\n•\tLogMeOnce\n•\tKeeper\n•\tNordPass\n•\tBitwarden\n•\tRememBear\n•\t1Password\n•\tPasswordBoss\n•\tEnpass\n•\tRoboForm\n•\tZohoVault\n•\tTrueKey\n\n2. Secure Your Wi-Fi Network\n\nMake sure your Wi-Fi is secure and hidden. While your router typically comes with a pre-set password, make sure to change it immediately to something more secure. Additionally, if you offer free Wi-Fi to your guests, c

Procrastination is the Thief of Time

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 14 Jul 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "It's Friday afternoon, the clock is ticking, and your fingers are jumping from one key to the other. You're working furiously, your five o'clock deadline is nearing, and the weekend is just around the corner.\n\nBut you've still got so much to do and less than an hour to finish. You silently curse yourself for not starting sooner. So, what happened? How did you end up running out of time? \n\nWell, there were hours you spent scrolling through social media, your multiple coffee breaks, re-reading emails, and completing tasks that you could've started later.\n\nProcrastination haunts all of us. We're all guilty of procrastinating and saying, 'I'll do it later,' or 'I'll start in a while.' But the negative impacts of procrastinating can steal dreams, cause missed opportunities, and even destroy lives.\n\nSome people are lucky enough to pinpoint their tendency to procrastinate and how much it holds them back. Let’s discuss how procrastination can wreck your dreams and how you can combat it.\n\nThe Origins of the Procrastination is the Thief of Time \n\nOften, Charles Dickens gets the credit for coining the term 'procrastination is the thief of time.' However, the truth is that Dickens popularized the proverb by putting it into the mouth of Mr. Micawber. \n\nIn 1850, Mr. Micawber said, 'My advice is, never do tomorrow what you can do today. Procrastination is the thief of time.'\n\nWhile Mr. Micawber became a widely quoted character for pronouncing the proverb' procrastination is the thief of time,' he was hardly original. In reality, the phrase is an adage created by English writer Edward Young. \n\nYoung wrote a 10,000-line poem known as 'The Complaint' or 'Night-Thoughts on Life, Death, and Immortality or simply 'Night-Thoughts.' In this extensive poem, the poet muses over death over the courses of nine' nights,' i.e., nine sections.\n\nYoung's use of the proverb 'procrastination is the thief of time' goes beyond caution against putting things off. Instead, the poet suggests that time wasted procrastinating one thing is time wasted doing nothing of any consequence. \n\nIt goes to say that if we delay filling our taxes by arranging our spices alphabetically, the fact remains that we should have done something of far more importance. \n\nHow Does the Proverb Describe 'Procrastination'?\n\nEdward Young describes a procrastinator as someone who procrastinates in doing things at the right time and finds themselves in situations where they had little time to compl

5 Small Habits that Secretly Affect Your Productivity

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 07 Jul 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Time management skills and external obligations have been known to be directly linked to productivity. What many professionals don’t know is that your habits also have a direct impact on your productivity.\n\nRegardless of how well you plan out your long-term and short-term goals, ensuring that every activity is carried out effectively and efficiently while rejecting distractions and intrusions, is an important step.\n\nWhen running a business, it is easy to ignore the small habits that bite into your time. The assumption that taking a few minutes every day to indulge in these small habits won’t affect your general productivity is a dangerous notion for busy business professionals and entrepreneurs.\n\nThe value of these negligible minutes adds up to a significant number of hours that can be felt weekly, monthly, and even yearly. When studying the efficiency and productivity of the year, the collective minutes or hours allocated to these small habits could have been utilized effectively to improve your business’ performance.\n\nLet’s explore 5 small habits that secretly affect your productivity.\n\n1. Failing to Plan Your Day\nMany times, you may want to wing it. Take the day as it comes. When thinking of facing your daily challenges by writing it out and planning ahead with specific time blocks, you may choose to forgo this part of your day and attend to activities as they come.\n\nThis small habit has a much larger impact on your productivity than you can even begin to fathom. This is because by failing to plan your day ahead, you cannot organize and prioritize your daily activities; therefore, not being as productive as you can and need to be. \n\nThis leads to overwhelm, postponed tasks, lack of focus, multiple intrusions, and distractions that greatly affect your productivity and overall efficiency.\n\n2. Continuously Checking Your Emails\nEmailing is one of the preferred choices of communication amongst businesses and their clients, partners, and suppliers alike. Due to its ability to instantly search and receive messages, emails remain a trusted mode of communication to keep you informed at all times.\n\nThe challenge business professionals face with emails is that continuously checking emails has become a habit that chews away at a lot of your very valuable time. Sometimes, you can spend hours searching and refreshing your emails and responding to emails and messages. Doing this continuously has a negative impact on your productivity.\n\nThough it

6 Top Routines of Highly Successful Entrepreneurs

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Every businessperson typically follows some kind of routine. Whether this routine means getting out of bed at the same time every day, taking a hike every weekend, or simply going to the same place for their coffee.\n\nRoutines are created to give order in a disorganized world. It brings clarity and focus to your daily life. It also provides the absolute satisfaction of having laid-out steps and processes to follow every day.\n\nRoutines feel like a planned-out day where everything is scheduled to go ahead without a hitch.\n\nSuccessful entrepreneurs make use of routines in their lives. This has helped them organize their activities, improve their productivity, and give them a clear and uncluttered focus of their life and business goals.\n\nTo align your business goals with your daily activities and tasks, these are 6 routines of highly successful entrepreneurs you can emulate.\n\n1. Morning Routine\nDo you have a morning routine? Do you wake up early in the morning, or do you sleep late into the morning?\n\nMost successful entrepreneurs wake up very early in the morning and have a morning routine. It can be meditating, exercising, or having a leisurely breakfast. A routine can be responding to emails, or reading business memos and industry updates, which I don’t recommend you do first thing after waking up. It can also be reviewing and planning their time blocks and scheduling other activities for the day.\n\nWhen you get up early, you have the advantage of being aware of an unencumbered peace and quiet. This can allow you to focus on personal or business activities without interruption. It also allows you to be available and ahead of demands. \n\nHaving a morning routine also helps you feel confident and focused on the challenges the day may bring.\n\n2. No Limit on Workdays\nThough it is very important to have rest days, successful entrepreneurs are known to work when they don’t have to. \n\nWeekends blur into holidays and vacation days blur into workdays for many successful businesspeople. This shows that they are highly focused and committed to the tasks that they are ready to achieve.\n\nThey have no set limitation on a day and are set to work whenever inspiration strikes. \n\nCarry a notepad and a pen to jot down innovative ideas that may strike when you are doing something unrelated to work, or take notes on your phone (whichever works the best for you). The best ideas cannot be controlled and confined to a specific time slot.\n\n3. Challenging Ta

5 Limiting Beliefs That May Be Holding You Back

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 23 Jun 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "It’s all about perspective. Whether you’re facing a business challenge or a physical one, having the right mindset can determine how successful you are. In fact, studies by Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck have shown that the power of mindset lies in whether you have a fixed or growth mindset.\n\nA fixed mindset is the belief that you are who you are, and nothing can change that. This encompasses a level of intelligence, talents, and creative abilities. When you have a fixed mindset, it may lead to feelings of failure if you don’t think you are smart enough or capable enough to handle the obstacles that you will inevitably face as a business owner.\n\nA growth mindset, on the other hand, is the perspective that you can continue to learn and adapt to different situations that may arise. Even if you fail, you tend to learn from those failures and turn them into future successes. People with growth mindsets are curious and actively seek to keep learning, a characteristic that is necessary for success.\n\nWhile a growth mindset is more conducive to a successful business, it’s not always easy to change your mindset. The first step in changing how you view yourself and the world around you is identifying what limiting beliefs you may have that are holding you back.\n\nWhat is a limiting belief?\nA limiting belief is a false belief that something is impossible based on one’s own limitations and abilities. Limiting beliefs often keep you from pursuing or setting bigger goals for your business and is a mindset that can hold you back from reaching your potential.\n\nHere are five examples of limiting beliefs that you can identify and overcome.\n\n1. “I can’t compete with [INSERT a COMPETITOR for you].”\nMaybe your product or service isn’t the first of its kind. There may be hundreds or thousands of competitors out there. But guess what—none of those are founded by YOU. When you focus on how to do something better than your competitors in the same way they’re doing them, you lose out on the potential to be uniquely you and attract clients who connect with your voice and brand.\n\nThere’s nothing wrong with a little healthy competition. But take a step back and ask yourself, are you motivated by your competitors, or do you feel defeated by them before you’ve even started? If it’s the latter, here are some strategies for fostering healthy competition and using it as fuel:\n\n•\tDelegate competitor research to someone on your team. Let a team member analy

Are You a Procrastinator? Learn to Stop it!

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 16 Jun 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "There’s nothing wrong with taking a break, but you know procrastination when you see it. Let’s talk about how to recognize the signs of procrastination and stop the cycle of excuses and delays, so you can achieve more success in life and in business.\n\nIf you have ever been a leader, manager, or business owner with employees, you’ve experienced what it’s like delegating an important task under deadline. From experience, you’ve probably learned who you can trust to complete the task well, and on time, when others fall short.\n\nHave you ever delegated a time-sensitive task to an employee only to find them making excuses, waiting until the last minute, or wasting time when they should be working on your project?\n\nIt probably got you fired up.\n\nSo, here’s a question for you: If you don’t tolerate procrastination from others, why would you ever tolerate procrastination from yourself?\n\nFirst, let’s establish that no one is perfect, and no one is completely procrastination-free, every moment of every day. However, you can spot a habitual procrastinator anywhere. Listen closely as I share seven common signs of a procrastinator.\n\n1.\tProcrastinators are often overly optimistic about completing complex tasks in little time\n2.\tThinks and says they work best under pressure\n3.\tEasily distracted and loses focus when there is no urgency\n4.\tDelayed start (because they have a false sense that everything is under control, so there’s no need to jump into it immediately)\n5.\tWhen no progress has been made, they offer reassurance that everything is under control\n6.\tAction driven by panic (the realization that everything is not under control)\n7.\tScrambles last minute, working hours on end to complete a project minutes before the deadline.\n\nTaking what I just mentioned about a procrastinator into consideration, answer these 3 questions I’m about to ask you.\n\nQuestion #1\nDo you recognize any of these signs in employees or coworkers? \n\tYes\tNo\n\nQuestion #2\nHow many of the seven characteristics I mentioned have you experienced at any time in your personal or professional life? \n\t0-1\t\t2-4\t\t5-7\n\nQuestion #3\nHow often do you find yourself exhibiting these habits? \n\tRarely\t\tSometimes\t\tFrequently\n\nThere’s no right or wrong answer to Question #1 – procrastination is a common characteristic and often encountered in the workplace.\n\nIf you answered 0-1 in Question #2 – you probably tackle every day and professional tasks head on witho

8 Tips to Hack Your Way to Greatness

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 09 Jun 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Rarely is anything an overnight success. It can take years of hard work before it pays off, and that can be a hard truth to accept. But there are tips and tricks, or habits really, that you can implement into your daily life to pave the way to a successful future for you and your company.\n\nThese tricks, that I’m about to share, are a mix of productivity hacks as well as personal life hacks to help you perform at your best and build an extraordinary legacy. With practice, they’ll become second nature, and allow you to free up your mental bandwidth to tackle the tasks that will grow your business exponentially.\n\n1. Prioritize Taking Accountability\nAs a business owner, you’re responsible not only for your own outcomes, but the outcomes of the people you hire. A great leader has insight into the day-to-day operations of their business and has the ability to empower their team as well as step in when needed. Additionally, you can’t expect your team to take accountability for their actions and decisions if you don’t set an example first.\n\nTaking accountability in everyday situations helps you to learn how to take responsibility for your destiny overall. You are in charge of your success, and when you get into the practice of taking action instead of making excuses, you’ll go further than ever.\n\n2. Take Care of Yourself\nGreatness can’t be achieved when your body and your mental health aren’t performing optimally. The idea of hustling 24/7 and wearing burnout as a badge of honor is outdated. In order to succeed, you need to take care of your body.\n\nThat might mean incorporating a consistent workout routine into your day, whether that’s early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Some people prefer to start their day by getting their body moving, which may actually promote greater productivity.\n\nPay attention to how your body feels throughout the day. Are you getting enough sleep? Or are you powering through on a bad night’s sleep? According to a 2016 business school study, leaders who prioritized sleep were perceived as more charismatic.\n\n3. Turn Off as Many Notifications as You Can\nPhones can be the primary way in which you do your work, but they can also be incredibly distracting. Turning off notifications to the apps that you don’t need to be looking at can help you focus and be more productive.\n\nEven if you use social media for your business, block off some time each day on your calendar as the designated time to engage with your social

6 Tips for Effectively Managing Your Team

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 02 Jun 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Managing a team is not an easy feat. People aren’t plug and play templates—there’s no formula for the best way to do it. The best managers lead with empathy and kindness, communicate clearly, and empower their team members.\n\nAs a team leader, it’s your job to inspire people and help them reach their goals and their potential. Continue listening to learn how to improve your team management skills and reach success together using one of all the six tips I’m about to share with you.\n\n1. Lead with Empathy\nIn Gary Vaynerchuk’s book, Twelve and a Half, he talks about how empathy is a central part of how he operates. When you leverage empathy, he argues, it “makes you a better business person, CEO, manager, or leader.” To motivate your team, you need to understand them, and to understand them, you need to lead with empathy.\n\nIf someone on your team makes a mistake, instilling fear in them and being angry with them immediately can lead to more mistakes. They lose the ability to learn from their failures and will approach future challenges with trepidation, not from a problem-solving perspective.\n\nInstead, take the time to understand what happened and where they were coming from. As a business owner, you’re ultimately accountable for anything that happens under your watch, so understanding your team can help you to better understand how to guide them to better outcomes.\n\n2. Clearly Communicate Goals and Expectations\nEffective communication includes clearly communicating things like deadlines, tasks, and deliverables. When your employees know exactly what’s expected of them, they have a better chance of success. The goal for you is to set them up for that success.\n\nDon’t assume that someone knows what their role entails. You may have a different picture in your mind than they do of what needs to be done. To avoid any confusion, write out a clear job description, but here’s the trick—check in regularly and continue to communicate what your expectations of them are. Have an ongoing process to reassess performance and make sure you’re both aligned. Once you can clearly communicate these goals, it’ll lead to the next tip, which is to provide honest feedback.\n\n3. Provide Honest Feedback\nProviding feedback, especially negative feedback, is not an easy task for any manager or business owner. But it’s much more beneficial to both you and your team member for you to provide honest feedback that’s delivered with kindness, than to dance around the subject and

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 26 May 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "We are all looking for ways to streamline our efforts at work – after all, who doesn’t want to get more done in less time? The idea of working smarter and not necessarily harder is not a new concept. It is one that the business and self-help industries have spent years tackling through thought leadership and research. \n\nUnfortunately, many people falsely assume that smart work can completely override the need for hard work, which simply isn’t true. It takes hard work to learn how to work in a smarter fashion. It takes hard work and discipline to implement new business strategies and perspectives. \n\nIt is only when working hard and working smart find a symbiotic relationship that true power in business productivity and effectiveness are found. With that said, I’m going to talk about 3 principles that you need to implement in order to strike a beautiful balance between the two.\n\n1. Delegate Non-Essential Tasks\n\nThis one should be a no-brainer, but time and time again people get stuck in the rut of doing things that aren’t the best use of their time or their talents. Outsourcing mind-numbing or repetitive tasks can be an immediately effective and a smart way to free up your workday time, so that you don’t have to work so hard to complete everything on your, probably lengthy, to-do list.\n\nIf you could cut that list of daily obligations from 10 things to 6, would you find yourself less stressed and with more bandwidth to truly pour your heart and soul into your day’s workload? Chances are good that that answer to that question is a solid, “yes!” But yet so many people refuse to let go of those things that someone else could easily handle.\n\nPerhaps it is because of a need to feel in control, or worry that the person handling those tasks would not do it properly. Regardless, if you put in the hard work upfront of hiring the right person for the job the first time around, you will be saving yourself an incredible amount of time down the line. \n\nDownload a Free Delegation List Sample Exercise to help you identify more activities to delegate, by going to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/delegation-list-sample/.\n\n2. Avoid the Siren Call of Multi-Tasking\n\nWhile multi-tasking tricks our minds into believing we are getting more things done at one time, we are actually just taking longer to accomplish small tasks, while simultaneously overloading our brains and producing subtle levels of stress that our bodies struggle to release. \n\nScientifically

6 Stages for Changed Behavior and Achieved Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 19 May 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "One of the most difficult challenges of sticking to your goals personally and professionally is changing your behavior. Goals like improving your health, reaching a milestone, or revising daily routines aren’t easy. In fact, studies show that our brains don’t like change, are wired for laziness, and have a limited capacity. Ouch! And we often fail because we don’t practice the correct steps.\n\nAs with any process, there’s an order to follow. For example, when administering first aid, it’s vital to work sequentially. Before caring for an injured or ill person, you should call for help. Then you check for breathing and a pulse to determine if CPR is needed. Next, if a wound is present, you must attempt to protect yourself from bloodborne pathogens before trying to stop bleeding.\n\nOr let’s say you’re painting a room in your house. Obviously, you need to choose your paint color (will it be Arizona Dust? Blissful Blue? Soft Candlelight? Gallery Gray?) and purchase the proper amount. You should then prep the area. You’ll likely move furniture, tape off the trim, and cover the floor with a drop cloth. After all, you wouldn’t want to open that fresh can of paint on unprotected carpet! Putting in the time for preparation saves you a big headache (and extensive clean-up) later on.\n\nLikewise, there are steps to changing behavior in order to successfully reach your goals. Let’s take a closer look at what’s required.\n\nAwareness in Changing Your Behavior\n\nTo make any significant changes, you’ll first want to understand what’s going on in your brain when trying to stick with your goals. There are six possible stages that you’ll go through:\n\n1.\tPre-contemplation. At this point, you’re not interested in making any changes. In fact, you don’t consider your actions as problematic or lacking, and you’ll likely continue in your normal everyday behavior. You’d probably feel defensive if someone approached you and suggested change.\n\n2.\tContemplation. By now, you’ve contemplated, or thought about, making changes. You’re open to suggestions but a bit ambivalent. And you may not be entirely sure that you want to move forward. Often, this stage lasts the longest because spurring yourself to action can feel like an overwhelming battle.\n\n3.\tPreparation. Here, you’ve committed to change. You’re researching resources and strategies to be successful. You’re preparing to move forward with changes. You actually take the needed steps to reach your goal. I should point out

6 Ways to Develop a Success-Oriented Mindset

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 12 May 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Running your own business is not always easy, as you already know. There are challenges from the start, and you’re constantly being faced with fires to put out. Developing a success-oriented mindset can help you change your perspective and take your business to the next level!\n\nYou can accomplish a lot more when you feel like you can do anything you put your mind to. Having confidence in yourself changes your mindset from “I’m not sure I can do this” to “I know I can do this; I just have to figure out how.” Perspective is everything, and when we can control our outlook towards challenging situations, we can harness a positive mindset and unwavering determination to accomplish goals that we set for ourselves.\n\nLet’s explore six tips for how to develop a success-oriented mindset.\n\n1. Regularly Take Yourself Out of Your Comfort Zone \nOne of the ways to gain confidence and to grow is by regularly taking yourself out of your comfort zone. Do one thing each day that makes you uncomfortable, whether that’s eating something new, trying a new workout, or testing out a new marketing initiative.\n\nTaking yourself out of your comfort zone could also mean delegating more tasks to employees that you would normally take on yourself! To develop a success-oriented mindset, you need to be able to let go of some aspects of your business, no matter how uncomfortable it makes you feel.\n\nI believe successful people are comfortable with being uncomfortable all the time. That is how they got to be successful. You too can learn how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable; however, you might have to initially get outside your comfort zone a bit. \n\n2. Never Stop Learning\nA success-oriented mindset is synonymous with a growth mindset. The determination that drives you towards success is also one that pushes you to learn along the way. When you run into things you’ve never faced before, having a growth mindset allows you to ask questions and explore, so you can discover new solutions, and this, in turn, helps you on the path to even greater success.\n\nLearning new things doesn’t need to be restricted to business topics—it could be learning a new skill, learning how to navigate through a new city, or learning how to focus on and solve a challenging situation.\n\n3. Set Smaller, More Achievable Goals\nIf you start by trying to tackle larger goals, you may get discouraged if you don’t reach them as soon as you’d like. By setting smaller, more achievable goals, you can bo

7 Simple Ways to Turn Procrastination into Productivity

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 05 May 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Productivity versus procrastination is the ever-present angel and devil on our shoulders. The one voice in your head telling you that you should be more productive, and the other voice whispering devilishly to go ahead and watch another episode of your favorite show, that task can wait. But procrastination doesn’t always have to be a negative thing, despite its bad rap. In fact, there are ways you can use it to your advantage!\n\nJohn Perry, an emeritus philosophy professor at Stanford, proposed an idea in 1995 called structured procrastination. His belief was that people who procrastinate are still doing useful things—they just need to learn how to be intentional about the little things they do to put off larger tasks. He argued that by putting structure around everything you do, important or not, you could trick your mind into getting the larger tasks done.\n\nLet’s explore 7 simple ways you can utilize structured procrastination to turn procrastination into productivity.\n\n1. Put Off Morning Tasks by Time Blocking\n\nIf you aren’t a “morning person”, it can be hard to get started in the morning, especially if you start your day early. Instead of diving into a larger task right away, try doing some time blocking as your first small task. Time blocking is blocking off time on your calendar for all your tasks, even breaks! It helps you to structure your day, so you know exactly what to work on in a given time block, so you don’t need to waste your mental energy thinking of what to do next.\n\nYour time-blocked calendar could look something like:\n\n•\t6:00am to 6:30am – Work out\n•\t6:30am to 7:00am – Shower\n•\t7:00am to 7:30am – Coffee and light breakfast\n•\t7:30am to 8:00am – Time block calendar\n•\t8:00am to 9:00am – Make prospecting calls\n•\t9:00am to 9:15am – Prep for client meeting\n•\t9:15am to 10:15am – Client meeting\n•\t10:15am to 10:30am – Finish any actions from client meeting\n•\t10:30am to 11:00am – Respond to emails\n•\t11:00am – 12:00pm – Make prospecting calls\n•\t12:00pm – 12:30pm – Eat Lunch\n•\tEtc.\n\nHaving a laundry list of to-dos can be overwhelming, so setting aside a specific time for each activity takes away the burden of deciding when to do that task and makes you more intentional with how you utilize your valuable time.\n\n2. Break a Larger Project Down into Smaller Tasks\n\nAs you’re blocking time on your calendar, you can break larger projects down into smaller tasks which makes them much easier to do and you feel like yo

Sleep Deprived? How It's Affecting Your Performance!

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 14 Apr 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Sleep deprivation and the resultant tiredness can have a significant impact on your performance. With the stressful and demanding routines we all have, catching eight hours of sleep often becomes a challenge. While we try to make up for that with energy drinks and loads of caffeine, the temporary kick does nothing to improve our performance. \n\nIf you thought your slacking performance was a lack of skills and not from the effect of not sleeping well, then you may need to rethink. \n\nImpact of Sleep Deprivation on Your Performance\n\nWe’re living in an always working and hyper-connected world. Due to this culture, we spend more waking hours at work, which has a detrimental effect on the quality and quantity of our sleep. Several studies have explored the damaging consequences of a lack of sleep among professionals, especially business owners and they all conclude the same thing. \n\nThe findings prove that sleep deprivation can ultimately hinder our ability to perform at optimum levels at work. It also has devastating emotional and physical side effects that ruin work performance and personal lives as well as our health. \n\nAll in all, it is safe to say that if you’re not sleeping well and enough, you are on the path of self-destruction. Let’s take a look at several ways your lack of quality sleep can be affecting your performance. \n\n1. Low Productive Capacity of Sleep-Deprived Business Owners \nBy not sleeping sufficiently and soundly, you make way for a major loss of productivity and quality of work. It worsens your working relationships and causes significant gaps in your communication, learning, growth, and concentration. \n\nA sleep-deprived entrepreneur develops multiple negative attributes, including a short-temper, memory lapses, declined problem-solving ability, and more. When you go to work in a state of sleep deprivation, you’re not in the best disposition and are more prone to reactionary outbursts and moodiness. \n\nYou must note that when your temper and reactionary outbursts occur too frequently on your behalf, it sours your work relationships. This has a ripple effect, and the bitterness in working relationships keeps spreading till it impacts your entire organization. Clearly, that is never a good thing for your business and team members, and can even lead to grave consequences like contract termination with clients, loss of a potential clients, and losing good team members, etc. \n\nThere are multiple serious problems sleep deprivati

Interview with Margie Walker, CARES Act Consultant

Anne Bachrach — Sat, 09 Apr 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Margie Walker is going to share her valuable insight about helping business owners access funds that are tucked away in the CARES Act that you might be eligible for. Time is of the essence on this if you are business owner!!\n\nMargie Walker has spent the last 20 years helping small businesses grow. The CARES Act was put in place to help business navigate these bumpy waters. Most people know about the PPP loan aspect of this Act, but there is more underneath the surface. Changes have opened up extra funds that no one is talking about that business owners are eligible for, even if they got a PPP loan. She is focusing 100% on helping business owners who don’t know about these funds and the clock is ticking. Once these funds are gone anyone who would have been eligible for them has missed their chance. So, I know you are going to want to pay close attention to what Margie has to say, so you can take advantage of funds you might be eligible for as quickly as possible. \n \nHere are a few of the questions I asked Margie that you will benefit from by listening to her interview:\n\n•\tJust so we are all on the same page, please explain a bit about the CARES Act.\n•\tI’m curious, what are these funds that are hidden away in the CARES Act?\n•\tWho is eligible for these funds?\n•\tWhat about if you already got a PPP loan? Does that knock you out of the running for these hidden funds?\n•\tHow are these funds different than PPP funds?\n•\tWhy hasn’t my CPA or Bookkeeper told me about these funds?\n•\tIs it complicated to get these funds?\n•\tWhat is the timeline for getting these funds?\n•\tHow do people, like me, find out how much they can get back, and as quickly as possible?\n\nGo to https://localrecoveryrefund.com/ today and see if you qualify for these funds. It is free to see if you qualify, so do it now before the funds run out.\n\nIf you qualify, leverage the CPAs who specialize in getting you your rebate, so you don't have to figure out the maze of the ERC program. These specialized CPA's will assess your eligibility and let you know the amount of your rebate check. All you have to do is fill out a short questionnaire on the website and upload some documents you get from your CPA or Bookkeeper. We take it from there. If you have W2 employees, please do this as quickly as possible and get your rebate.\n\nYou can find my interview with Margie Walker at https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/my-podcast/, https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/accountabilitycoach.com/id29

8 of The Best Weekend Habits to Improve Your Productivity

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 07 Apr 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Weekends are generally seen as the time of the week when you can relax and refresh yourself. This also serves as the much-needed rest from long hours, unbearable traffic, and strained brainpower during the week.\n\nThough weekends are to be used for rest and rejuvenation, cultivating the right habits during these few days can help you perform even better when working in your business during the week.\n\nMany successful entrepreneurs and businesspeople have tapped into the value of cultivating productive habits and skills that cross the lines of their personal and business worlds. \n\nLet’s explore 8 of the best weekend habits to improve your productivity.\n\n1. Unplug and Disconnect\nAfter a whole week of staring at electronics for hours on end, you may feel as though your weekends should have you glued to your devices. No. It shouldn’t. \n\nDuring the week, you have already spent so much time in front of your laptops, smartphones, desktops, and tablets. You have responded to emails, messages, and snuck a few late nights diving into social media too.\n\nTake a break from your devices during the weekend. Spend time with people around you, read a book, meditate, work out, and relax. \n\nWhen your body and brain are refreshed, you can perform to the best of your ability and be even more productive.\n\n2. Maintain Morning Routines\nWhen successful people get up early during the week, it extends to their weekends too. To be more productive, maintain your morning routine. Get up early, plan your day, and follow it through if you don't have a morning routine.\n\nWhen you tackle everything that may be time-consuming in the mornings, you build a habit that improves your productivity tremendously.\n\n3. Take Things One at a Time\nWeekends are the best time to try and multitask in order to get things done you don’t have time to do during the week. Everyone gets extremely tempted to multitask during the weekend in order to get as much done as possible. You may want to run on the treadmill while scrolling through social media or your newsfeed.\n\nPlease stop doing this. Instead, immerse yourself in every activity. If you are working out, be present in mind and body. Commit to each activity, and you’ll be able to run a mile longer, read 3 more chapters, or meditate for one more hour.\n\nWhen you are present for every task, you can be fully refreshed when you go back to work on Monday. \n\n4. Have a Plan\nJust because it is the weekend doesn’t mean that you should throw

5 Ways to Manifest Confidence in Yourself

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 05 Apr 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Confidence. Some people have it aplenty. Others struggle to be and act confident. Others of us are in the middle of the road; we are confident in certain situations, and in others we take a backseat because we don’t trust ourselves enough to embrace confidence. \n\nHaving self-confidence is important in our personal and in our professional lives. Many of us, however, struggle to find it and use it. When you struggle with confidence, you find you continue to struggle to pull forth your self-confidence, and this lack of confidence can make it difficult for you to success or to inspire others toward success. \n\nWhen you’re self-confident, you feel good about yourself and your body responds by secreting hormones that give you a further boost. One way to boost confidence is to recall a time when you were at your most confident – that will help! \n\nWhen you feel self-conscious, your confidence will lag. Determine why you’re self-conscious and take the necessary steps to alleviate that feeling. Learn more, take charge, talk with someone to help you gain confidence, so you can move forward. \n\nLet’s explore five ways to help you build your self-confidence even more.\n \n1.\tBe aware of how you talk to yourself. If you criticize yourself and your actions, your confidence suffers. Challenge any assumptions you have, determine where you are, and in what circumstances you criticize yourself. Find ways to treat yourself to better self-talk. \n\n2.\tKeep a “negativity journal.” This may seem counterintuitive, but stick with me. When you feel negative about yourself or your abilities, write it down. Look at what you’ve written and determine whether it’s true. For example: I can’t talk in front of a group. Is that true? Of course, you CAN talk in front of a group, but you may be nervous or anxious about talking in front of a group. That is a different task entirely. Once you write down your self-defeating belief, you can move forward and find a way to defeat it. If you’re nervous to talk in front of a group, join Toastmasters, for example. Start small and practice on friends or colleagues. When you have to talk in front of a group, choose a topic about which you are fully confident. \n\n3.\tHow do others see you? Do people come to you and ask for your advice? Do they seek your help with projects? When you’re dealing with low self-esteem and your confidence is lagging, write down your skills and those areas in which you are an expert. This will help you build confidence

[[:encoded, "Fired, robbed, divorced, and with two businesses down the drain, Chris Patrick was stuck on a one-way street of screwups and failures. This life wasn’t what he wanted—but sometimes, not getting what you want is exactly what you need. \n\nChris is a real estate consultant and founder of The Patrick Group, a premier real estate firm in Las Vegas.

6 Tips to Keep Moving Toward Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Have you ever been driving and realized just a bit too late that you missed your exit? Have you ever traveled somewhere just to find that you’ve seen the same street corner three times, and you realize you’ve been going in circles? Perhaps you took the wrong turn because you were distracted by your favorite song on the radio. Or maybe your GPS routed you the wrong way. These inconveniences can be enough to forget why you started in the first place! You might veer off course or give up altogether and go home. As a business owner, these same annoyances can crop up when working to achieve your goals.\n\nHow you approach your goals isn’t that different from traveling! Your motivation is the fuel that powers you and gives you the focus and follow-through. Let’s explore six mile-markers, or tips, to help you stay on course from start to finish.\n\nMile Marker #1: Goals vs. Values\nLet’s take a closer look at this traveling analogy: if a goal is like a destination, then your values are the reason to hit the road. If you don’t know why you’re traveling to a destination, it’ll make it much harder to get there. \n\nNo matter the venture, make sure that you understand why you’re pursuing your goals. Check that your sales align with your core principles and values. Coordinating these will set you up with a full tank of motivation.\n\nTo download my complimentary Values Clarification Exercise to help get you started on defining and getting clarity on your core values, go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/values-clarification/.\n\nMile Marker #2: Picture It\nWhat does reaching your goal look like? More and more, visualization is vital for achieving goals. While you don’t have to break out glue or clippings for a vision board, having a clear image in your mind is crucial to jumpstart your motivation. Taking some quality time to look inward and imagine reaching your goal can hone your focus and keep you feeling inspired to follow through. \n\nVisualizing can be the tools or methods that help you maintain motivation. Tools like calendars, Gantt charts, or spreadsheets can give you a literal vision of a goal and your progress. This also keeps your motivation burning strong.\n\nMile Marker #3: Make Pit Stops\nEven long-haul truckers need to rest and refuel. In the same way, break your goals down into smaller parts to keep your energy up. When you break a massive goal down, it also feels less daunting and more manageable. It gives you a chance to celebrate the progress y

7 Habits to Help You Beat Procrastination

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 24 Mar 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Procrastination hits at the most inopportune times and halts progress, makes us miss deadlines and causes overwhelm. There are a myriad of reasons for procrastination and in order to help push past its potential downward spiral, you need to understand the reasons you procrastinate. Once you understand the reasons behind your procrastination, you can take steps to alleviate and eliminate it, so you can move forward. \n\nProcrastination can be a threat to your professional productivity and your livelihood. \n\nWhy do you procrastinate? \nThere are many who believe procrastination is a time management issue, but it’s not – it’s an emotional issue. When you delve into the emotional reasons you procrastinate you can move past it. \n\nHere are five reasons people procrastinate: \n1.\tYou’re not sure the project is worth the perceived effort you need to put in. If you’re not invested in the task you can tell yourself “it’s not worth it.” You may be right, but you need to determine how missing this deadline could impact your future self and business. \n\n2.\tYou fear failure. This is a major reason for procrastination – if you don’t start, you can’t fail. Your fear keeps you frozen. Lack of training or knowledge of the overall project could add to that fear. \n\n3.\tYou are already overextended, but still you said “yes” to a new project. If you are already overwhelmed, and you add another project, procrastination is almost sure to follow. \n\n4.\tYour perfectionist tendencies rise up. If you’re concerned that your efforts won’t yield 100% satisfaction, you are afraid to start. The desire to produce a perfect project helps assure you don’t work on it. \n\n5.\tYour time management skills are lacking. If you procrastinate because you are overwhelmed, it could be because you truly do have too many tasks on your plate. However, you could be procrastinating because you don’t know how to properly manage your time and your tasks. Additionally, if you haven’t written down all of the tasks you need to do, you could be imaging you have more to do than you truly do. Write down everything you need to get done and you may see it’s not as overwhelming as you imagined. Prioritize everything on your list with the most important items that will help you make progress on your goals (revenue generation, for example). How many items are on your list that can be delegated – and delegate them?\n\nTo help you be even more effective and efficient, so you can achieve your goals at an accel

7 Ways to Improve Your Communication Skills

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 17 Mar 2022 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "You don’t have to be an amazing orator to be an effective business communicator, but you do need to have communication skills that are finely honed. If you’re an entrepreneur or a business team leader, your livelihood or your paycheck could depend upon your communication skills. \n\nWhen you talk with a business owner who has effective communication skills you simply know it. That person is: \n1.\tSuccinct\n2.\tClear\n3.\tA Good Listener\n\nIf you aren’t certain whether your communication skills are as effective as they should be, or if you know they are lacking, I’m going to share seven ways you can easily improve your business communication skills. \n\n1.\tBe complete in your communications. There is no room for being vague when you’re speaking with a client, a potential client, or a team member. Don’t leave the conversation hanging to the point where the individual has to fill in the blanks because you haven’t given all the pertinent facts. Being succinct and direct is always ideal. \n\n2.\tYou need to be clear. This goes hand-in-hand with being complete. If you are delivering a communication and you’re stumbling over your words, backtracking to fill in the blanks of the earlier part of your conversation, and being unclear, you need to take a step back and work on your communication style. When you see the eyes of the listener glaze over or if they stop taking notes, you can be rest assured they aren’t certain where the talk is going, and they have lost track of it. \n\n3.\tYou need to consider the feelings of the individual to whom you’re speaking. With whom are you speaking? Is the person on the same page or at the same level of information for the discussion you’re having? Make sure there is no information spoken that could be misunderstood as that will put the listener at a disadvantage, and he or she may feel you’re withholding information. \n\n4.\tOffer concrete details. If there are steps in a process or in a project that cannot be wavered from, you need to offer those concrete details and back it up with examples. A concrete detail will leave nothing to chance and will help clarify the overall message. \n\n5.\tAll your business communications need to be correct. This is especially true if you’re communicating via email or other written forms of communication. There is no place for spelling or grammar errors. Don’t take shortcuts or do “shorthand” in your business communications. Every written communication you send should be as factually accurat

The Power of Your Mind for Overcoming Limiting Beliefs

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 03 Mar 2022 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "The idea to establish your business came from the belief that you could do it, that you had it in you. But then somewhere along the journey, you lost the conviction in yourself. Perhaps you wondered things like:\n\n•\tI’m too old to be venturing into this. It’s not within my capacity. \n•\tThis will consume all of me. \n•\tI won’t be able to pull it off. The risks are too great!\n•\tThe last betrayal was too great. I can’t trust people again. \n•\tI’m too old to keep doing this.\n•\tWith continual change, I can’t keep up.\n•\tIf I ask for referrals and introductions from my clients, they will think I’m too pushy.\n\nDo you know what all these statements are? They’re your limiting beliefs. They do nothing but incapacitate you and make excuses for not achieving goals that you desire. The solution for a big change and a big break is only a step away. Do you know what that step is?\n\nIt is overcoming your limiting beliefs and tapping into the power of your mindset. If you don’t know how to do that, keep reading. \n\nInitiating a Shift in Mindset to Overcome Limiting Beliefs\n\nBy overcoming your limiting mindsets, you can earn the freedom, meaningfulness, productivity, purpose, and the fulfillment you deserve. The truth is that nothing is beyond a human being’s reach, only if they put their mind to it. \n\nAll the power rests in the mindset and how you mould it to drive your success and fulfillment. Your mindset is how you think and your intuition regarding certain things. If only you could acknowledge one fact deep into your heart and mind, that limiting beliefs trigger unhappiness, you wouldn’t have difficulty changing it.\n\nIt is often an ignorance of this one vital fact that renders us incapable of overcoming the limiting mindset. A powerful and an unrestricted mindset can take you a long way. It helps you destroy all those barriers that inhibit your achievement of goals and your progress. \n\nLimiting Beliefs - Where do they come from?\n\nFirst of all, let’s understand that limiting beliefs are merely unconscious thoughts that sneak into our mind before we’ve had a chance to block them. These thoughts actually have a very cunning way of using our past bitter experiences to remind us why failure is more likely if we proceed with what we want to. \n\nHence, they stem from our past bad experiences in life or of those in our circle. But they can have other sources of origin as well. Some of those include:\n\n•\tHereditary\nWe do not refer to inheriting here

7 Tips to Creating Better Goals You Are Inspired to Achieve

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "You’ve probably read it all. You’ve opened multiple pages and tabs on the internet in pursuit of that crucial knowledge on how to create even better business goals, so you can accelerate your results.\n\nAs a business owner, your goals represent more than numbers on a scale. They serve as important milestones that motivate you and immortalize your contributions to your business, and to those you serve.\n\nWhen setting your goals, you have to pay attention to what your business stands for, what services or products you provide, who your target market is, how you hope to speak to that market, what solutions you want to provide, what milestones you want to set, and at what point to tick those milestones as complete.\n\nOther than these points, you should be ready to ask for help when your business needs it, hire valuable help, gain important skills, make tough decisions, and put in the work that’ll help you achieve these goals.\n\nEven while doing this, you are not assured of the success of any of these goals. Some goals may make a comeback year after year because they are not attained. When goals make a comeback regularly, it is possible to get frustrated to the point of quitting.\n\nThat’s why these seven tips for creating better business goals comes in handy.\n\n1. Rationalize the Results\nBefore setting your goals, it is best to think about the results you want to achieve. Take a longer look into the future and be reasonable with your expectations. In a year, what do you want to have achieved business-wise? \n\nAre these goals what you truly want? Are they also important enough for you to commit your valuable time and resources to? Are they worth investing in?\n\nWhen you think of the results you want to achieve, you should have absolute confidence in the path you are about to set yourself upon.\n\n2. SMART Goals Are the Key\nWhen creating better goals, you need to apply the SMART principles, which I’m sure you are familiar with. Your goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bound. \n\nSome people think their goals have to be ‘realistic.’ Realistic is somewhat relative. I believe that setting a goal that may seem a bit out of reach or a challenge works to motivate most people even more. If you don’t achieve this stretch goal, you will feel better because you will have achieved more than you would have originally set as a realistic goal. \n\nWhen your goals meet these principles, you have chalked off the greatest challenges

Benefits of Setting Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 10 Feb 2022 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "As a business owner, you’ve certainly heard by now that setting goals, both personally and professionally, is an endeavor of the highest quality and leads to prosperity. It might even start to sound a little cliché, but why does goal setting really matter? After all, you probably have a general idea of where you want to go. Isn’t that enough? \n\nActually, it’s not. Come along with me as I show you why.\n\nLet’s start with your personal life. Maybe there was a point when you knew it was time to take action. Perhaps you wanted to shed some pounds, get more sleep, or eat better. Or maybe you wanted to save more money, give back through volunteer work, or carve out more time for your family and friends. All worthy goals…but where to begin?\n\nEven though it can be challenging to implement substantial changes, the advantages are nearly always in your best interest! But as you probably know, just wanting to achieve goals like these won’t get you very far. \n\nNo, you’ll need a plan.\n\nNow let’s switch gears and consider your life as a professional. Maybe your career is rocking along. You’re exactly where you want to be. Perhaps you’re t-h-i-s close to where you want to be. Or maybe you’re just getting started. No matter the phase of your business, the benefits of good ol’ goal setting can’t be overstated. In fact, it’s essential to your success as a business owner—just like it is in your personal life.\n\nWhile setting goals at work may not trim your waistline like a healthy diet would, it’ll point you in the direction of your dreams. And as a business owner, you really can’t succeed for long without it. Let’s take a closer look.\n\nBenefits of Goal Setting\nAs author, philanthropist, and coach, Tony Robbins, once said, “Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible”. That’s a pretty powerful statement. With this in mind, remember that goals are what gives direction and wings to your dreams. \n\nThere are five benefits of goal setting we’ll consider here:\n1.\tYou’ll gain clarity. Without clarity, you may experience a scenario like Abbott and Costello’s famous skit, Who’s on First. While their confusion is undoubtedly entertaining and memorable, you don’t want to create this absurdity in your own workplace. In fact, leaders who don’t set goals are likely to have subpar results, unengaged employees, and a company culture lacking initiative. On the other hand, by having clarity, you’ll better understand the purpose of your goals and a

When you feel your confidence slipping to less than 100% for what you offer, read all the great comments people have said about you over the years to get your confidence cup flowing over again.

Effective Goal Setting – 5 Ways to Stick to Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Wed, 26 Jan 2022 21:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "As cliché as it sounds, there is nothing else that determines success more than effective goal setting. Effective goals provide the clarity and path to reach success and achievement, including new business plans, professional development to New Year’s resolutions, etc. \n\nHowever, goal setting is not an easy process, despite its crucial role. Goals are the first steps towards our future planning and impact the development of our skills concerning the multiple facets of life. They help us identify the targets where we can launch our proverbial arrows. \n\nHence, it is not an easy process to identify goals. If you wish to pave a smooth and sure way to success, here are a few things you need to know about effective goal setting and achievement. \n\nBefore we launch into a detailed explanation, I’d like you to answer this question. Do you currently possess a mindset that allows growth and achievement of goals through your life and sheer hard work? Your answer determines your mindset power. \n\nYou see, having the right mindset is what establishes the difference between failure and achieving remarkable results. A powerful mindset empowers you to work hard and dedicate your life to making your dreams and ambitions come true. If you don’t own the mindset that allows this, then your achievement quota will be limited and uninspiring. \n\nWhen it comes to effective goal setting, nothing can be more beneficial than a growth mindset. The latter is a form of thinking that convinces your subconscious into believing in your capabilities of success. It urges you to think that you can get whatever you want in life only if you put your mind and effort into it. \n\nAbility undoubtedly plays an integral part too, but it will not suffice till you have a concrete belief system. Moreover, you will have to align your beliefs with the proper habits to propel you into positive action. \n\nDo you know what the most powerful tool humans possess? Yep, it is our brain!\n\nIf you find computers impressive, you’d be awestruck to know that our brains have a series of processors inside, typically like a computer’s. You can only imagine its tremendous capability of thought and conscious actions at a time. This all narrows down to one concrete fact: our brain possesses magnificent processing powers to help us achieve our goals. \n\nTapping into this exceptional power is essential, and here’s how you should do it:\n\nTo tap into this exceptional concept, here are a few helpful tips.\n•\tThe

How to Increase Your Productivity with Time Blocking

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 13 Jan 2022 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "As a business owner, you often get pulled in many different directions, which can lead to thinly-spread focus and subpar quality of work. How many times have you started responding to an email, only to have a team member ping you to ask a question about an upcoming project, and then realize you had a meeting starting in two minutes?\n\nWhile there are many things that need your attention, not everything needs your attention right now. You can increase productivity by building a habit of time blocking each day.\n\nTime blocking is the practice of scheduling out each moment of your day on your calendar. It may look overwhelming to have a completely full calendar, but it’s a great way to understand when to focus on certain activities and create much-needed structure in your schedule.\n\nHow to start blocking out time on your calendar\nFilling up your calendar doesn’t mean it needs to be followed exactly, every single day. Allow for flexibility, especially as circumstances change and crises inevitably arise. Think of it more as a framework, a place to get started and increase productivity before you even start working. Let me share some ideal to help you to start setting up your own time blocking calendar or get even better at time blocking.\n\nStart with Your Own Routines\nWhile the majority of your day will be work-related tasks, it’s important to set aside time for your own personal routines. Working out, for example, provides many benefits for business owners. If you prefer exercising in the morning, block off an hour to an hour and a half in the morning on your calendar for your workout time.\n\nBlock Off Dedicated Email Time\nIt can be tempting to check each email as it comes in, but interrupting your current task you are working on to check your email can shift your focus. In doing so, it will take more time to refocus on what you were originally doing, leading to a less productive work session. Block off a couple of one-hour blocks during the day, as needed, to check and respond to emails. I recommend 11:00 and 4:00, so you aren’t checking email first thing and getting off schedule first thing in the morning.\n\nSave Time for Lunch\nDon’t forget to eat! Schedule lunch breaks or quick 15-minute breaks as needed. The rule is, if they’re on your calendar, you have to take them. This also helps you to set boundaries, so that others can’t disturb you during those set times. Taking a break to eat and recharge throughout the day can keep you mentally sharp an

8 Tips for What It Takes to Achieve Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 06 Jan 2022 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Business professionals like you know that goal setting is vital. But sometimes, the process may feel overwhelming, or perhaps it just hasn’t worked well for you in the past. Have no fear. You will find the eight helpful tips I’m sharing with you to help you meet your goals. These go beyond the basics of goal setting, like brainstorming, writing your goals down, and creating an action plan. So, let’s go!\n\n1.\tPrioritize listening. For any business professional to meet their goals, they must possess a crucial soft skill: open-mindedness. This term means you can take in information that might challenge your beliefs. You’re able to ask questions and allow others to express their opinions, even if you disagree. Closed-minded people only care about their own viewpoints, and typically, they don’t give any consideration to other ideas. Without open-mindedness as a leader, you likely will not reach your goals, so listen, remain open-minded, and model trust and cooperation.\n\n2.\tUse strategic thinking. Sadly, failing to consider issues from a different perspective is common—plus limiting and short-sighted. Strategic thinking, though, means you can analyze critical factors that affect long-term success. To improve this skill, consider the big picture and planning ahead. Then, you’re able to view your options and make more intentional decisions. Strategic thinking helps put your thoughts into action, allowing you to meet those goals.\n\nApplying strategic thinking practices to your business will accelerate your success by allowing a crystal-clear focus to drive daily tasks - for you and your team. To download my complimentary copy of a strategic thinking model, go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/strategic-thinking-model/. \n\n3.\tCommunicate confidence. Think of confidence as an aura that accompanies you everywhere. Confidence causes people to notice when you enter a room. You turn their heads because your demeanor communicates poise and dignity. And by being self-assured, your team has a reason to look up to you. Then, they’re more inspired to work, creating a productive and trusting atmosphere that leads to high achievement. \n\n4.\tGuide your team like a coach. You may have had a favorite coach growing up. They likely guided and encouraged you rather than just barking blunt or unhelpful directions. With a coaching mindset, you’re able to communicate that you respect your employees, believe in their ability to grow, and value their contributions and acti

5 Ways to Help You Attain Better Work Life Balance

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 28 Dec 2021 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Life is in continual motion. There seems to be a blur between life and work and that is especially true for an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs, it seems, have a harder time separating work and life and home; they feel they need to be always available and always in “client search mode” as well as running the business. \n\nAre there secrets to attaining a work life balance? They aren’t exactly secrets, but sometimes in the hustle and bustle of life, we forget to breath and we allow our work and lifelines to coincide. Now is the time to take a step back and untangle those lines and get back to a better balance. \n\nIt is important to find a balance that makes both life and work fulfilling and enjoyable. If you don’t, you risk burnout in both areas of your life. Keep in mind that you won’t likely notice a large sign that lets you know your life and work are out of balance. The imbalance usually happens slowly and subtly, until you get to the point where you’re not functioning well in either aspect of your life. \n\nLet’s explore five ways I’ve learned that will help you attain a more balanced work and life. \n\n1.\tYou need to have boundaries. Even if you work from a home office you need to set office hours – this is for your clients and your family. Clients need to appreciate that you’re not on call 24-hours a day. Family needs to understand that between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm you’re working and shouldn’t be disturbed. These boundaries need to apply to your technology as well. Even if you’ve closed the literal door on your office, if you have your smart phone continually within reach, you will be distracted and tempted to check social media and emails and your work may again bleed into your home and family life. \n\n2.\tJust let it go. Being a perfectionist and trying to be everything to everyone is a recipe for disaster and burn out. If you’re feeling stressed in your personal life, you need to delve deeper into what those stressors are. The same goes for your work life; what is adding to your stress? Once you know what your stressors are, you can take steps to find those items you can simply let go of. Are there items that simply do not matter in the big picture? If so, cut them loose. The more items you can let go of (and that may mean delegating work or home tasks to others) the more balanced your life will be. \n\n3.\tWhat are your priorities? Just as important as knowing what your priorities are is knowing why they are important. Before you leave your o

5 Steps for Inspiring Clients to Work with You

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 16 Dec 2021 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "You have what they need! So, how do you get them to realize that you are the solution to what they are looking for, so they can be even more successful? Here are 5 steps for inspiring clients to want to work with you. It’s a win-win for everyone.\n\nStep 1: Get Them Talking\nFirst and foremost, make the conversation about them. Take the focus off “getting the sale” and instead use this time together to evaluate if you are the best person to assist them. Remember, you don’t want to work with anyone; you want to work ideal clients.\n\nAlthough you will be using this initial time together to evaluate if you want to work with them, keep the conversation focused on the prospective client.\n\nWhat is their current biggest struggle or challenge?\nWhat is their most immediate or long-term goal?\nWhat kind of support or guidance are they looking for?\n\nIf, at the end of the conversation, you conclude they are a potential ideal client, continue to Step #2.\n\nIf, at any point in the conversation, it’s apparent they are not an ideal client or if you feel you are not the best person to help them, politely end the conversation by thanking them for their time and clarifying how they can proceed. *If you are unable or unwilling to assist them, refer them to another reputable, high-quality resource whenever possible.\n\nStep 2: Connect Them to Their Current Pain\nThere must be a starting point where you help the prospective client see where they are right now. In other words, they must know where they are right now before they can receive guidance to get where they want to go. From there, it’s important to remember that there are only ever two driving forces behind customers and clients who sign up to work with you and your firm:\n\n1) Reducing/Eliminating pain or \n2) Increasing pleasure\n\nThe first step in inspiring them to work with you (assuming they are a potential ideal client, and you want to work with them) is to help them feel their current pain. Get them talking about their biggest struggle or challenge - help them connect to the discomfort - and then lead them through Step 3. \n\nStep 3: Inspire Them to Imagine Future Possibilities\nHelp them see that what they desire is possible - and that you can assist them in achieving it. Get them talking about their immediate and long-term goal(s) - asking how they feel imagining the real possibilities of their future. Reassure them that achieving any goal is simply a step-by-step process of “right steps” - and that you

11 Tips for Staying Focused and to Achieve Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 09 Dec 2021 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "As a business owner, there are things you must do in order to accomplish your goals, so you can have the kind of business and life you have dreamed of having. From managing a team to handling clients - and everything in between - it can be easy to lose complete control of your day. We all have the same 24 hours available each day; it’s how we chose to use those 24 hours that’s makes the difference.\n\nMeetings, client services, and a To-Do List a mile long are frequent daily tasks in the world of running a business. The key is to find an effective way to handle our daily routine to stay focused and on track to achieve your goals in the shortest amount of time and the least amount of effort.\n\nTip #1: Break Goals Down Into Daily Action Steps - and Track Them\nSomewhere between running a business and having a personal life, it’s not uncommon for our goals to fall by the wayside. Sure, we write out a Goal List, but it ends up at the bottom of a large stack of papers on our desk or filed away in a drawer, or in an electronic file on your desktop. If you are not paying attention to your goals on a daily basis, you’re probably taking the long way around. Break goals down into daily action steps and put them into your daily calendar/diary/or planner. Those action steps should be labeled high priority and handled as early on in the day as possible, or at the best time that leads to the best result. No excuses.\n\nTip #2: Remove Distractions and Interruptions from Your Life\nWasting time on low priority tasks is one of the most common sources of interrupting your success. Email - texting - social media - internet surfing - personal phone calls - chatting - etc. are time wasters for many of us. Work hours should be reserved for work. Distractions need to be a thing of the past and not the present, if you want to achieve your goals in the timeframe you have set. (Close email and internet outside specific time blocks. Turn off the ringer on your phone or filter calls through a team member. Remove paperwork that you are not currently working on from your sight.) Create a system that works best for you - and stick to it. Consistent execution of new habits that put you in the highest probability position to make better progress, so you can create the business and life you want is key. \n\nTip #3: Be Aware of Sabotaging Habits\nNo one is ever completely free of self-sabotaging habits, which is why it’s important to be aware of your tendencies. When you are aware of your

How the Choices We Make Impact Our Lives

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 02 Dec 2021 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Should I turn left at the fork in the road or right? Should I agree to take on a non-ideal client that could be more work than waiting for an ideal client? Is this new job offer right for me or should I stay where I am? Should I have the fish or the beef? The choices we make impact our lives – sometimes in profound ways, others in subtle ways. \n\nSometimes, though, we feel overwhelmed at the variety of options ahead of us and we can’t, or won’t, make a decision. There is a song lyric that goes something like, “if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.” I always find that profound especially at those times when I don’t make a decision, or can’t decide which decision is the “right” one. \n\nIf you’re faced with decisions regularly, and who isn’t, it can be overwhelming. We can then start to suffer from decision fatigue. This state can impact us in small, or large ways. For example, if you get out of bed in the morning and the first thing you’re faced with is a refrigerator or cupboard full of breakfast choices, your brain is going into overload before you’ve even truly started the day. Imagine you decided the night before, “I am going to have a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast.” When you do this, you start your day without having to make a decision and can save your decision making for when you’re ready to start your workday. \n\nThere are some choices you will make in your life that have the potential to impact you in profound ways. Let’s explore three choices that I think might make a big impact: \n\n1.\tThe people with whom you surround yourself. The company you keep – professionally and personally – impacts how you see yourself, whether you’re encouraged or discouraged by them and the type of influence they may exert. Jim Rohn wrote, “you are the average of the five people with whom you spend the most time.” Who are your people and how do they impact you? Are they positive or negative? Their outlook can impact your outlook – either good or bad. \n\n2.\tHow do you spend your time? In your 24-hour day what do you do? Do you work? Care for children or aging parents? Do you have hobbies? Do you have pets with whom you spend time? When you’re not sleeping, what are you doing? You don’t have to be continually productive, but you do want to find ways to spend your days that make you happy. You can spend your time sleeping on the couch or surfing the internet or you could spend your time with friends, reading a book, learning a hobby, growing a bus

10 Tips to Get Motivated….and Stay that Way

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 23 Nov 2021 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Some days you’d rather be in bed watching Netflix, going surfing, or skiing, than picking up the phone to make client acquisition (revenue generation) calls to increase business revenue. It happens to the best of us, even those of us that love our business. When you feel uninspired to tackle that to-do list, try one or more of these 10 tips, I’m about to share with you, to ramp up your motivation level and be productive again. \n\n1.\tGet Digital. In today’s digital world, there’s an app, podcast, or video for everything, including motivation. According to American Express’s blog on motivation, commitment trackers such as Stridesapp or Beeminder can give you that extra push to keep up with your long-term and short-term goals. The article also suggested writing the goals down on pen and paper for extra focus, and I certainly agree with this, and all my clients have their specific long-range and short-range goals written down.\n\n2.\tSet Milestones. Working on a long-term goal can seem endless at times, which results in a loss in motivation. Setting smaller milestones to hit along the way keeps the motivation level up and gives you something to celebrate along the journey. As soon as you break up a large project into smaller tasks, you can start checking them off your list and feeling like you are getting the job done! \n\n3.\tReward Yourself. Give yourself something to work toward and acknowledge tasks when they are completed. When you hit a milestone, treat yourself to something. It could be a latte at Starbucks, a movie, a massage, or a new pair of shoes. Whatever makes you happy, this type of incentive is effective in maintaining motivation for both you and your team. \n\n4.\tWalk Away. For those times when you just can’t get focused, take a break from your desk and get a change of scenery. It could be a cup of coffee at the local coffee shop or a walk around the block. Changing your environment might refresh you enough to get back into it with a fresh perspective when you return to your desk. \n\n5.\tBrainstorm. Carve out a few quiet minutes to sit down alone and let your mind go. Think about ways to grow the business, get new clients, improve your marketing materials and efforts---wherever you see a weakness in your business, think about a solution to it. How can you prevent the competition from getting ahead of you? \n\n6.\tThink Positively. Sometimes, inspiration can be hard to find at work, but there is no room for negativity

How Big Thinking Can Grow Your Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 18 Nov 2021 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Do you surround yourself with dream squashers or are you surrounded by individuals who listen to your dreams for your business and urge you to pursue them? Do you think big for your business? Do you look at where your business stands today and think, “this is good enough” or “what if I try something new and it upsets the successes I’ve attained?” Do you give yourself enough credit to allow yourself to dream big? \n\nRemember, not every big dream has to come to fruition of a “mission accomplished.” But, every big dream may have a kernel of an action step that will help you think outside the proverbial box and could potentially spark a new idea to do something you’re currently doing better, faster, or at a higher level of income producing effect? \n\nHow Can Big Thinking Grow Your Business? \n\nTake a moment and ask yourself: What is your dream for your business? Do you want to be the next Amazon or Uber? Do you want to be the biggest XYZ firm in your city or part of the country? Are you looking to take your business nationwide or worldwide? \n\nDo you even allow yourself to have those big dreams? Many business owners, when asked, “What is the big dream for your business this year” will say: \n1.\tI’d like to bring in an additional $1,000 a month.\n2.\tI’d like to grow by 10% in clients and income.\n3.\tI’d like to outsource some of my tasks.\n4.\tI’ll be happy to maintain the status quo.\n5.\tI hadn’t even thought of a big dream… I’m just trying to maintain my current level.\n\nThis is what I call “expectation” thinking. You expect to stay where you are and that thinking leads to your getting exactly what you expected. What if you allowed yourself the audacity to say, “I’d like to grow my income by $5,000 a month” or “I want to exceed last year’s sales by 50%”.\n\nWhat’s stopping you? \n\nIs it because you’re afraid to think big? What do you think would have happened if Henry Ford hadn’t thought big? Would we have had automobiles? Every successful business started out as a small idea that was pushed to higher levels by an entrepreneur who thought big. \n\nBig, audacious goals don’t have to become setbacks if you didn’t achieve a 50% higher sales revenue. If you shot for 50% and achieved 30% isn’t that a big win? It’s certainly a bigger win than a 10% increase. Although if you’d considered a 10% increase you would likely have met that, but would it feel as good as aiming for 50% and attaining 30%? Probably not! \n\nHow can you become a big thinker in your bu

7 Steps to Find and Retain Quality Staff

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 11 Nov 2021 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Finding and retaining quality staff whether you’re hiring employees or contractors, can be a difficult task for many entrepreneurs. There are a myriad of reasons this is true. It takes a focused, strategic approach to hiring and growing your team that will help propel you and your business forward. \n\nSometimes, though, no matter how well you have hired and how many strategies you have in place for a “good hire” it just doesn’t work out and you have to start over. Starting over with hiring and training a new employee or even getting a contractor up to speed on what you need done is a drain – physically and emotionally for the entrepreneur and financially for the business. \n\nHow can you find and retain quality staff? \n\nLet’s explore 7 steps you can take that can help you increase your success. \n1.\tBe very clear on what you want the individual to do. If you hire someone and they think they are doing A and you want them to do B and perhaps C, and you didn’t tell them up front, they may balk and leave. If you hire for task A but then add on B and C without further compensation you may have to re-hire or pay to train them, if you are interested. If you believed you were hiring for A, B, and C, you need to be clear about the tasks and the expectations for everyone’s benefit. \n\n2.\tLeave the door open for negotiation on tasks and responsibilities. You may hire someone who far exceeds your expectations and your business grows. It may get to the point where, because of growth, you need to hire a new person who can take on tasks D and E. Don’t forget to ask the original hire whether he or she can, or wants to, take on those new tasks, if they have the skill set to do them. Don’t overlook a chance to promote from within. Just because you hired for a person for ABC, doesn’t mean that individual doesn’t have other hidden talents you’ve never discussed. The people that get you to one level, might be or might not be the same people to help you get to your next level of success.\n\n3.\tHave a very clear and specific written job description. It is not enough to simply say what you want done. Give the new team member a detailed job description – not so detailed that it’s novel length, but detailed enough that you both understand the deliverables and agree to them. \n\n4.\tBe open to suggestions on potential changes to procedures. If you have a new staff member who looks at some of your current procedures (assuming you have all tasks documented, which most firms don

What Can You Do to Stop Wasting Time and Stay Focused?

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 04 Nov 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "It is way too easy to let the day get away from you simply because you are unfocused. When this happens, it may not be detrimental to your business and its viability. But if you find that you’re wasting time daily and can’t stay focused, you will begin to lose motivation because you’re not seeing to-dos getting checked off. If your business is suffering you may not even place the blame on being unfocused, but it could very well be the case. \n\nDo you find yourself staring out the window or scrolling through social media and tell yourself, “I’m just going to look on social media for five minutes” then discover that it’s been a half an hour or an hour or longer? It’s easy to get distracted. It’s easy to lose focus and when this happens regularly you need to determine the underlying cause. If you were formerly focused and stuck to tasks and didn’t waste time, what is happening now that you’re not focused? \n\nFor many entrepreneurs the reason for losing focus and wasting time is procrastination, pure and simple. If you want to manage your time effectively and be more efficient and productive you need to get to the root cause of your lack of focus. \n\nLet’s first look at four habits that waste your time and that are insidious to productivity. \n\n1.\tThe internet and social media. If you’re researching an item for your business it is easy to go down a rabbit hole, and it’s also easy to get off track from your original research topic. If you don’t have the willpower to stay off the internet or from constantly checking email or responding to social media pings. Turn off the apps that distract you and reward yourself with social media or email time once the task(s) at hand has been completed. \n2.\tKeep your work housed on one device. When you switch between your work desktop and your home laptop and check your email on your phone and not your computer and then pull out your tablet to scroll social media you are pulling your focus into too many directions. Every time you move from one device to another you are more likely to get distracted. \n3.\tHave a schedule and use a calendar. If you write down your tasks and have a specific schedule for particular tasks you are more likely to keep your focus and not waste time. Set a timer while you’re working on a particular task and don’t let yourself stop until the timer goes off. Avoid the distraction of setting the timer on your phone unless you use a voice command to do so. Once you open your phone and get to the t

11 Principles for Increased Business and Personal Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Business owners typically “live” their principles. They may not stand up and shout, “Here are the principles by which I run my business and live my life” but their principles are embedded in their thoughts, words, and actions. \n\nIf you’re not certain what your business principles are, if you want to add more principles to your arsenal, or if you simply want to understand business principles, let’s explore a list of 11 for you to ponder. \n\nOne of the challenges many people struggle with is trying to have personal satisfaction while running a business without sacrificing one for the other. Your principles will help drive your business and help you get back to a more satisfying personal life. \n\n1.\tWhat are your strengths? When you focus on what you’re strong in, you can find ways to address business weaknesses. One way to best address a business weakness is to delegate those tasks at which you struggle. When you do this, you remove that struggle from your plate, and you can fully focus on the strengths you bring to the table. I think it is better to work on strengths and delegate everything else, if possible. \n\n2.\tFocus on short-term goals on your way toward your large dreams. When you are striving toward an audacious goal, you may sacrifice personal or family time in its pursuit. When you set short-term goals, you can work toward them, chip away at the larger goal, and know that you’re making progress without sacrificing your dreams. \n\n3.\tWhat personal goals do you have? If you aren’t certain how your business will enhance your personal goals, how will you know if you’ve reached personal satisfaction nirvana? Personal goals should be the driving force behind business goals. Know what you want to, and need to, achieve personally, then work your business dreams around those principle-driven goals. \n\n4.\tDo you practice what you preach? If you “preach” about taking the weekends off of work to recharge your batteries, but you spend the weekends working and sacrificing personal time, you need to take a step back and rethink where your principles got off track and get back on track. \n\n5.\tCelebrate wins at work and at home. When your personal and your business principles mesh you can and should celebrate. Even if you’re a solopreneur, unless you’re single and have no immediate family and don’t even share your life with a goldfish – you are NOT going it alone. A supportive personal team will help you achieve your business goals. Thank those who are

4 Insights for Goal Setting - Find Your North Star

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 21 Oct 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "The North Star (or Polaris), located directly above the North Celestial Pole, holds a lot of meaning. While it’s not the brightest star, it’s easy to locate. As an actual, noteworthy, and reliable point in the night sky, it’s a significant symbol for guidance and achievement. \n\nConsider these examples. For centuries, ships relied on celestial navigation, guided by the North Star. In addition, the North Star offered hope and freedom for the enslaved during abolition. While you may not be crossing literal seas or lands, the idea of finding the North Star—your North Star—can highlight the value of goal setting. \n\nHaving a goal, no matter the size, is crucial for reaching success in any venture. Imagine attending a meeting or announcing a new policy without any idea of your end goal. Not only would that be confusing, but it would also slow down productivity—and possibly hurt the collective morale and trust of your team members. \n\nInstead, setting your sights on a goal, or North Star, offers you and your team a clear vision. Once you understand the significance of goal setting, you’ll be able to set realistic and ambitious goals with ease. Let’s explore four insights to shine light on the value of goals—and lay a clear path toward your North Star of success.\n\nInsight #1: Start with Clarity in Mind\nFirst, clarity for your goals is vital. If you don’t know where your business is going, it’s impossible to achieve real progress. And without a clear roadmap and explanation, a goal could appear unnecessary or out of place to your employees. \n\nFor example, you wouldn’t choose a random number of sales as your goal without taking the time to research what makes the most sense for your firm’s success. Nor would you ask your employees to waste time in unnecessary meetings or to duplicate work processes. If you’re setting up a product launch, though, you’d ensure your item sells well by clarifying how to get those sales. Start your goal-setting process by clarifying the steps needed to get where you’re going.\n\nInsight #2: Determine Direction and Details\nNext, having a sense of direction when goal setting is crucial. Imagine a child’s birthday party with a piñata: blindfolded youngsters swing wildly in hopes of breaking open all the candy. While this is fun for a celebration, it’s not the way to set goals! \n\nMaking sure you’re heading in the right direction with goal setting is key—instead of swinging wildly in hopes of getting it right. Knowing the what, wh

These time management skills guide seasoned professionals in their craft.\n\nSo, the five time management skills you want to master are:\n\n1. Schedule Calls Within Time Blocks\nBusiness professionals love to hear the phone ringing. A prospect, partner, or client resides on the other line, waiting for you to pick up the phone. However, fielding calls throughout the day can present a problem. If you spend too much time fielding all your calls, you will not have enough time for outreach and building your brand. Hiring someone on your team to field calls for you greatly alleviates this issue, if you don’t already have someone in place. The person answering the phone can schedule a time for you to call back the prospect or handle the entire call themselves, so you don’t have to.\n\nConnecting with colleagues and people in your local area on Linked-in and asking for introductions to potential clients expands your pipeline. Taking calls throughout the day limits your ability to perform these activities.\n\nScattering your calls throughout the day will give you little time to embrace deep work for your other objectives. Scheduling your calls within a time block gives you set hours to get into the flow with other activities. Setting a time block is one of the best time management skills to master. This practice cultivates deep work, which is an essential element of highly successful professionals. \n\nSome of the most productive people in the world swear by time blocking. Ever heard of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Michael Hyatt, or Cal Newport? Yep – all time-blockers. They’re squeezing every drop of productivity from their days, and you can do the same.\n\n2. Identify and Prioritize Your KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)\nTime blocking gives you a scheduling framework to input activities. We all know specific tasks deserve more attention than others, but which tasks deserve the most attention for your business? Rather than take a guess, let your KPIs guide you.\n\nDecide the vital KPIs for your business and prioritize work that matches up with your KPIs. Revenue growth and profitability are two common KPIs. Professionals focusing on these KPIs would focus on activities that bring in revenue

Goal Setting for the Win and Join the Elite 8%

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "If you’re a list-maker, you know there’s nothing like checking items off when complete. In fact, a rush of endorphins floods your brain! The neurotransmitter dopamine produces satisfaction and happiness, making you feel accomplished and propelling you to get more done.\n\nBut first, you have to actually create that to-do list, which, for some people, can feel like a massive undertaking. After all, making a list (which is really a form of setting goals) requires thinking through many elements, including the things like:\n•\tDeciding what needs to be done\n•\tDetermining how to prioritize\n•\tForcing ourselves to be specific\n•\tBreaking jobs down into smaller steps\n•\tScheduling times to check our progress\n•\tHolding ourselves accountable\n•\tKnowing when to say no\n\nIf you’re feeling overwhelmed after reading that, you’re not alone! In actuality, science tells us that only 8% of people meet their goals. That means 92% of people don’t. Those are some pretty dismal statistics, but I have hope to offer you. My objective is to help you understand the power of goal setting and why it’s a critical habit for you and your career. \n\nWhat’s the Secret?\nYou might be wondering if you really need to set goals. You might say, Anne, some people work better spontaneously, approaching life by the seat of their pants. Yes, sometimes that’s true. But I’m here to remind you that, in most cases, a goal without a roadmap is just a pipe dream. \n\nThe elite 8% of successful goal setters have discovered a secret: you must start with the end in mind. The 8% know where they want to go, and they create a path for how to reach that destination. Even though it can be challenging to get started, remaining passive in any goal will prevent you from thriving.\n\nIntentions and Ambitions\nLet’s look at your personal life for a couple of examples. Imagine you want to improve your golf game, but to achieve this goal, you’ll need to do more than hope! To enhance your chip shots, drives, or putts, you must take action. So, you hire a golf coach to learn about proper stance, grip, and posture. Sure—this takes time, effort, and commitment, but the 8% have refined the follow-through necessary to achieve their goals, no matter how difficult.\n\nOr perhaps you’ve always wanted to visit Greece. Looking through gorgeous internet scenes of Santorini might inspire you, but action steps are required to make this dream a reality. For example, will you need a visa? What’s your budget?

5 Tips to Overcome Limiting Beliefs and Achieve Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 23 Sep 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Ahhh, the good ol’ catchphrase: Believe in yourself. \n\nIf only it were that simple, right?\n\nI know. This expression may feel cliché. But it’s worth looking closer at your belief system to better understand how it impacts your goals and your goal achievement. After all, your beliefs, both positive and negative, will affect your confidence and overall job performance. This, in turn, affects your ability to achieve your goals. To begin, we must consider where our belief system originates.\n\nLimiting Beliefs \n\nThroughout our lives, we’ve acquired a belief system—whether we’re aware of it or not. In fact, science tells us that our beliefs are mostly formed by the time we’re 7 years old. They’re ingrained into our mind, and honestly, we usually don’t stop to question them. \n\nAnd that might be where the problem lies. Even though you’ve grown into a successful adult, your beliefs today may reflect your beliefs as a child. When you don’t recognize and overcome these types of limiting beliefs, or false beliefs that keep you from pursuing your goals and desires, you’re actually hindering your own personal and professional growth. \n\nLimiting beliefs are primarily subconscious, which means you aren’t stopping to think about them. They’re a natural response. They’re conditioned based on past experiences and circumstances. As a child, these beliefs likely provided a place of certainty and probably reduced feelings of anxiety, doubt, and stress.\n\nThe power of limiting beliefs is mighty—and damaging—to adults. Let’s look closer.\n\nSelf-Fulfilling Prophecies\nYou’ve probably heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy, which refers to predicting or expecting a particular outcome based on your beliefs. So, when you feel sure that you’ll make a mistake or a goal will fall apart, you’re actually setting yourself up to fail. Then when you choke, that negative outcome is validated—and further cements your limiting beliefs in yourself. \n\nNow, it’s vital to note that you’re not alone. As business owners, we’ve all dealt with moments of self-doubt. Consider the examples of limiting beliefs that occur subconsciously in our thinking patterns, that I’m going to share with you.\n\n•\t“I am not _______ enough.” Athletic, tall, qualified, wealthy…whatever it is, these beliefs are limiting.\n•\t“I don’t have _______.” Support, time, money, knowledge, experience, resources…all these place boundaries on your potential and confine you to your current environment.\n•\t“I can’t ever _

4 Tips for Effective Goal Setting and Accelerating Results

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 16 Sep 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Goal setting is directly tied into your future and affects your life. Setting goals not only prepares you for success, it guides you there, to that place that you envision as your ultimate destination. Setting goals helps you to know exactly what it is you want to achieve, and the steps needed in order for you to succeed professionally and personally. \n\nEffective goal setting sets you on a certain path that is free from distractions and time wasters that could slow your progress. Finally, goal setting is motivational, because the more goals you set and achieve, the more self-confidence you build and the happier you are. There are two main components to successful goal setting.\n\n1.\tSet Short Term Goals: You have probably heard of the effectiveness of goal setting before. Who uses this system to their advantage? Many world-renowned athletes, as well as successful businesspersons and celebrities, have adhered to this philosophy. They have to approach their dream from a logical and progressive standpoint. Nobody can say, “I want to be rich” and then go from point A to point Z. In order to find success, as you define it, you must create short-term goals that will ultimately guide you to your vision of success. These goals will, at once, give you short-term motivation while still making your long-term vision ever clearer.\n\n2.\tGet Organized. Essentially, goal setting is a means of organization. The best way to achieve anything, as an individual or as a group, is by being organized. Arbitrary desires usually do not go very far, and most people are content just to dream. When you actually take the time to organize your resources and efforts, you will come much closer to fulfilling your dream than the countless number of wishers out there. Everyone has the ability to set goals. The question is, who wants it bad enough to actually do it? You may be surprised by how few people really want it that bad.\n\nTips for Setting Goals\n\nHow do you go about setting goals? There are different levels to goal setting—you might even say there are goals to setting goals! \n\nTip 1: Start Broad and Get Specific\nYou start at the base level, which means deciding what it is you want out of life. Are you interested in a particular career path or are you after the benefits of success, such as money or influence over others? After you decide on a mission you must break down this destination into smaller targets. The entire mission may take a lifetime, so wh

6 Ideas for Creating New Business Opportunities

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 09 Sep 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about 6 Ideas for Creating New Opportunities by Getting Rid of Limiting Beliefs.\n\nAccording to the laws of physics and aerodynamics, a bumble bee can’t fly. So…try telling a bumble bee that!\n\nIsn’t it wonderful that bumble bees don’t possess human traits? Because if they did, in all likelihood, we would live in a world devoid of flowers and honeycomb and the simple delights of bumble bees productively going about their business in our garden.\n\nWhy? Because we human beings have a knack for getting caught up in limiting self beliefs, so it follows that the bulk of us would simply accept the word of the scientific community and not fly because we’ve been told we can’t! \n\nAnd like the imaginary void that would be created without the ingenuity of bumble bees, we create huge voids in our life by accepting self-limiting beliefs.\n\nOur beliefs about ourselves, those around us and the world at large affect who we are and how we behave. Beliefs are merely thoughts, that with a little encouragement and repetition from our over-active minds, transform into facts. Or so we are led to believe. \n\nOnce we have formed a self-limiting belief, we continue to pursue evidence to prove that our belief is real. These beliefs are backed up by our self-talk, providing further evidence to back up our negative thoughts.\n\nHow many times have you caught yourself saying:\n\n•\tI knew I’d be no good at this.\n•\tThis always happens to me – I’m hopeless.\n•\tI’m always the unlucky one.\n•\tI’ll never be any good at anything. \n•\tI can’t ask for referrals.\n•\tI’m not built for following a calendar.\n•\tI can’t seem to stop letting things distract me.\n•\tI have to spend too much time on lower priorities because they need to get done.\n\nLimiting beliefs are self-perpetuating; the more we believe something to be so, the more our actions reflect that belief, and the more the resultant failure to achieve what we originally set out to do reinforces the initial limiting belief.\n\nSo, how do we break the vicious cycle of self-limiting beliefs and create more positive outcomes?\n\n6 Step Plan to Break the Cycle of Limiting Beliefs\n\nThe first step in breaking the cycle of self-limiting beliefs is recognizing that the belief exists.\n\nThis can often be difficult because many of our limiting beliefs stem from early childhood experiences, or are so deeply ingrained into our psyche that we aren’t consciously aware of them.\n\nFor example, you may have been tol

The Power of Persistence in Achieving Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Have you heard that saying, “Persistence Pays Off”? It is true, but there is a fine line between being persistent and being relentless, and you need to know when you’re crossing the line. \n\nPersistence is a personality trait and an attitude that indicates you’re working hard, and that you keep trying until you achieve success or until you realize the direction you’re going isn’t going to achieve the goal you set. \n\nPersistence is a personality trait you can develop and here are five reasons you may want to: \n\n1.\tYou will be motivated. If you’re persistent you are more likely to stay motivated and keep moving toward the goals you’ve set. Self-motivation is a critical trait of a successful entrepreneur. \n\n2.\tYou will gain expertise. If you’re persistent in pursuing a goal, you will work harder and learn more about the subject at hand. You will experiment, and repeat actions until you achieve the desired outcomes.\n\n3.\tYou learn the value of success. When you are persistent and if you don’t always succeed on your first try you truly understand the meaning of success – because you have worked so hard for it. \n\n4.\tIt shows others you are driven. A person who is persistent is perceived as ambitious. You’re not happy to just sit back and let things happen around you – you are a change-maker and take the initiative. \n\n5.\tYour persistence may motivate others. Whether you’re an entrepreneur or a leader in a job, when your colleagues see your persistence and drive, they will follow your lead. You are setting a good example to others by your persistence. You may notice a boost in efficiency and productivity in your team.\n \nAre you as persistent as you want to be? Can you develop a more persistent attitude? Yes, you can and here’s how: \n\nDetermine the goal you want to achieve. If you want to develop persistence you need to have a goal toward which you’re striving. Set goals and set specific milestones to meet those goals. Write down your large goal then break that down into smaller steps. Studies show that if you have clear and concise goals you are 95% more likely to achieve them! \n\nPlan for stumbling blocks and failures. Just because you’ve set goals and planned milestones doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t face stumbling blocks. You may even face failure. The persistence you’re developing will keep you from throwing in the towel and it will keep you moving forward. You will persist and find a solution to the issue that caused the initial fa

9 Ideas to Help You Be an Even More Effective Communicator

[[:encoded, "Do you command a room when you begin speaking? Have you met individuals who, no matter if they’re talking about the weather or about intense business topics, have everyone on the edge of their seats? Have you ever wanted to be an even more effective communicator? If so, I have some good news for you! You can hone that skill. \n\nWhether you want to command a room at a speaking engagement, keep your team engaged, or even have better communication with friends and family, and clients and prospects, here are 9 ways you can enhance your communication skills. \n\nIf you’re ready to take the first steps toward a more effective communication style, there is no better time to start than today. This may not be a skill you hone overnight, but when you plan, prepare and practice, you will see marked improvement in your communication skills. So, let’s explore nine ideas to help you be an even more effective communicator. \n\n1.\tThink about the takeaway. If you’re getting up to speak, what do you want the audience to walk away with? Do you want your spouse or significant other or your child to remember to pick up the bread? Do you want your colleagues to know the next steps in the current project? If you know the outcome you’re seeking, you can craft your speech toward that resolution. \n\n2.\tKnow when to speak. There are times when you’re better served to be a good listener. Not every gathering is a time for you to shine the light on who you are and what you do. Choose your times wisely. \n\n3.\tListen well. You’ve probably heard that we were given two ears and one mouth for a reason – that we should listen twice as often as we speak. Good advice. When you’re a good listener you are better able to give great advice. Respond when the person you’re listening to takes a pause or asks for your input. \n\n4.\tDon’t be wordy. If you can be succinct, you should. You won’t better make your point by making it wordy and by rambling. People appreciate input when they get the answer they’re seeking in a quick and easy manner. If all you have to say is Blah, don’t say Blah, Blah, Blah. \n\n5.\tBe the voice that unifies. You’ve been in meetings or conversations where it is just a round-about discussion with no end point, no beginning point, and the point of the conversation has been lost. Step in, recap the conversation and steer it toward a conclusion. You don’t have to give your advice or have your opinion be the one that is the last voice heard. \n\n6.\tNot everyone wants, or

7 Ways to Cope with Change and Increase Your Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 19 Aug 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "“Why do I have to deal with change?” The answer is, because change is inevitable. Whether it’s a new client, a new boss, a new piece of software, a discontinuation of your favorite coffee flavor… change is a part of life. Coping with, and adapting to, those changes are crucial for happiness and success in work and in life. \n\nWhether you are someone who embraces change or dreads it, the way in which you accept it will increase or decrease your stress levels. Change can trigger powerful emotions. For some, change makes them feel as though they are out of control, that they are being dragged toward a very steep rock face or cliff, toward which they have no control. \n\n“Going with the flow” is a mantra some people chant, but for many going with the flow is not easy to do and, in fact, causes them undue stress. Get rid of the “go with the flow” mindset and try these 3 mindset adjustments, I’m about to share with you, to help you better cope with change, as change is constant. \n\n1.\tChange is a process. When you deal with change, it’s not as easy as flipping a switch and moving from one way of doing something to a completely different way. You need to look at change as a process and you want to take steps to adjust. When you learn to bake a cake, for example, you don’t just open the oven and put in the cake to bake. You need to gather ingredients, measure them, mix them, prepare the pan, preheat the oven, then bake the cake. Baking is a process; change is a process.\n\n2.\tBe flexible. Some changes are forced upon you, others are a necessary part of life and business. When you accept that some aspects of your life come with change, you can adjust your thinking and prepare for the changes ahead. \n\n3.\tChange is not always dire, nor does it need to be frightening. Change can be very positive. Change is what you make of it. You can fight against it. You can fear it, or you can look to the future and to the benefits this current change may bring. You can thrive during change; it depends on how you approach it. \n\nLet’s now explore seven ways to help you deal with the changes that life and work can throw at you. \n\n1.\tFace the fact that you’re nervous about the change. Gather all the information you can to help you understand why the change is happening, how the change will impact your business and life, and how you can ease yourself into it. \n\n2.\tNotice that you’re in the middle of a change in circumstance.

7 Ways to Get More Focused and Increase Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "When you’re focused you get more done – plain and simple. Focus also helps you to enjoy the moment you’re in. Being in the present is a gift that many people take for granted. Pay attention. Focus on what you’re doing. You will be happier for it. \n\nIt doesn’t matter whether you’re an entrepreneur or an individual just looking for a bit more peace in your life – focus is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. \n\nIf you’re not certain if you are focused enough or if you want to find ways to fine tune and enhance your focus, you’re in the right place. \n\nImplement these seven steps and you may be able to remain more laser focused, be more efficient in your focus, and enjoy living in, and working in, the moment. \n\n1.\tSet the alarm clock a bit earlier. I can hear you groaning, but if you get up earlier you may get more done. Also, getting up before everyone in the house wakes up will give you solitude and will make you feel less rushed. If you have always wanted to practice yoga or take a long walk with the dog, read a book, sit on the deck with the paper and your coffee but you never seem to have the time, getting up earlier will be your gift to yourself. As you’re sipping your coffee consider eating breakfast. Skipping meals may make you overeat later. However, if you’re doing intermittent fasting, schedule your day so you have time later in the morning to break your fast. \n\n2.\tGet the most challenging project out of the way first. If you know you have a pressing task or project to complete, putting it off until the end of the day won’t make it go away. Putting it off will only make it so you’re working on a challenging project when you’re tired from the day. The harder projects won’t go away and putting them off will only drain your mental energy because they will still be there tapping you on the shoulder, waiting for you to complete it. If you have been putting business development calls off until later in the day, do them first thing and be done with them for the day. Brian Tracy calls this “Eating that Frog.” Doing uncomfortable activities first thing in our business day can be very beneficial.\n\n3.\tEat it one bite at a time. If you have a huge project ahead of you, eat it one bite at a time. Take your large project and break it down into manageable tasks. Don’t look at “Write a book,” for example, as something you need to complete in one sitting. Take your “write a book” project and break it down into smaller “meals.” For example:

5 Reasons You’re Procrastinating and What to Do About It

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 05 Aug 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Distractions are everywhere. If you work from home, you have everything within your home. If you are at an office, you have colleagues, watercooler talk, and phone calls that distract you. Even if you’re not distracted by home or office, chances are you’re distracted by social media pings and email notifications… the list goes on and on! \n\nWhen you’re distracted it’s easy to blame distractions for the reason you’re not getting all the activities you know you need to do (especially high payoff ones) done. You are procrastinating and using your distraction as a crutch. \n\nWhy do you think distractions are pulling you away from the tasks at hand? On what are you blaming your procrastination? If it’s a distraction, let’s explore 5 potential reasons procrastination can derail your business or career. \n\n1.\tYou forget about your future because you’re living in the now – and with the current distraction. It is sometimes difficult to see the end of the road when you’re surrounded by distractions, pressing to-dos and the day-to-day “grind”. When you take your eye off the big picture though and give in to distractions, you’re going to find it difficult, if not impossible, to achieve your dreams. \n\n2.\tBlaming your procrastination on distraction is an easy way out. It’s easy to put off the difficult tasks in lieu of something quick and easy. The quick and easy may make you feel great because you’re crossing items off the list, but are they moving you toward your larger goals? Are the insignificant items keeping you from success? \n\n3.\tWhen you’re distracted, or when you’re multitasking you are inevitably turning in sloppy work. If you’ve procrastinated yourself up against a hard deadline, you will find yourself throwing something together at the last minute to get the project done and it will not be your best work. Distractions that make you miss deadlines will be more stressful because you will know, deep inside, that you have not turned in a project that is worthy of your best effort. \n\n4.\tProcrastination and being distracted is draining on your emotions. Even if you’re not completing a project, it is still there tapping you on the shoulder. You know it needs to be done, you can’t avoid it, but pushing it to the side won’t finish it either. Jump into that project you’re putting off, shut out distractions – your health will thank you. \n\n5.\tProcrastination won’t give you more free time; in fact, it will cut into your free time.

Creating a Culture of Consistency in Your Firm

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 22 Jul 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Without a doubt, one of the hallmarks of successful people in business is their ability to be consistent, both at work and in their personal lives. Creating a steady cadence in life allows us to be less stressed, more productive, and to experience a high level of contentment and success year in and year out. While cultivating consistency isn’t easy, it is an incredible skill that is vital to reaching your full potential.\n\nBut what does it mean to be consistent? Is it merely delivering the same quality of service day in and day out? Is it the ability to present a true version of yourself while at work and also while at home? Is it gritty, focused discipline that doesn’t turn back from goals once they have been set? In all honesty, consistency is all of those things and so much more.\n\nYour trustworthiness, your business reputation, your relationships – they all hinge on consistency. A life lived with dependability will be marked with success and accolades. A life that is poorly managed and does not adhere to a code of structure and consistency will quickly devolve into stress and disorganization, both of which are detrimental to the success and strength of a company.\n\nConsistency allows you to accept and provide accountability \n\nA healthy workplace is one that has a solid culture of accountability and collaboration. As people, we work the best when we feel safe, heard, valued, and challenged. If standards of success and expectations are kept consistent, it is easy to know if you are living up to the expectation set before you or not. Otherwise, it can be confusing and frustrating trying to discern whether or not you are doing a good job.\n\nEric Holtzclaw, a contributor for Inc. and a well-known entrepreneur, says: “I ask my employees to be accountable for their deliverables and goals. They should expect the same in return from my leadership. I put a priority on making time for and being available to my team. I work to establish consistent and recurring meetings when a project or aspect of the business requires attention. The simple fact that there is a set time to report on progress is often the catalyst that moves an initiative along to a successful end.”\n\nWhen your team knows they can depend on you to provide dependable, measured feedback and guidelines for them, they can easily settle into a routine and embrace their workflow with focus and intensity. Likewise, when you are in a disciplined routine you are more likely to allow people to speak i

7 Ways to Keep Up in Today’s Fast-Paced Business World

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 15 Jul 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Returned a called to your grieving widow client. Check. Made flight arrangement’s for next month’s conference. Check. Reviewed your client’s recommendations for your meeting with them tomorrow. Check. Running late for a meeting and still have 20 items on the to-do list for the day. The business world moves fast, sometimes, too fast. It can become overwhelming, and you may feel that you are falling behind. Let’s explore seven ways to help you keep up with an ever-changing business environment. \n\n1. Work Smart\nYou’ve heard the phrase, ‘work smart’, but what does that really mean? In a fast-paced business world, staying on top of the work is the best way to manage it. Maximize your time during your commute by returning calls in the car or emails if you take mass transportation. Check emails twice a day, and not first thing in the morning. Schedule work and meetings in time blocks if possible, to maximize. Goals and dreams are what make a business work. Sometimes, aspirations have to be pared down to what can actually be accomplished. Prioritize what can be done within reason.\n\n2. Make a Plan\nFormulating a plan will help you prepare for the challenges of the day. Start your day by prioritizing what needs to be done that day and review the entire week while you are at it. Write down your tasks for the day and check them off as you complete them. It is gratifying to cross something off your list, and it makes you more efficient and productive. It also brings order to your day, which helps you to remain calm, especially in a chaotic environment.\n\n3. Be Consistent \nRemaining consistent in your work is one important key to success. Try to avoid ups and downs in your work production, so you don’t feel that you are overwhelmed. Morten Hansen, professor of entrepreneurship at INSEAD, states: “You would expect that in a world that is changing constantly around you that what you ought to do is to morph into the next thing and the next thing and so on, but what we found in our research is that winners in the industries that we studied followed a path of consistent pacing. And in the long run, that is what paid off, even in chaotic industries.”\n\n4. Communicate Well\nIn a fast-paced business environment, there is always a lot of work to be done, but you just can’t do it all. Don’t be afraid to wave the white flag once in a while. When you get really bogged down with work, communicate with your team. If someone else can handle something t

How To Manifest Desires In Order To Get Things Done

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 08 Jul 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Manifesting what we want in business and in life isn’t difficult. Manifesting also requires you to put in the effort to get what you desire. It’s not enough to announce to the Universe, “I’d like to achieve XYZ.” You need to put in the effort to help that dream become a reality. \n\nHow can you manifest your desires as a way of getting things done? Here are a few steps you can take: \n\n•\tSet your intentions. You need to be abundantly clear on the goal you want to achieve. You can’t just say, “I want to be rich.” You need to say, “I want to earn $600,000 in my business by year end.” This is a clear intention and one to which you can put measures in place to help you move toward milestones. \n\n•\tOpen yourself up. You need to move past your past. Don’t focus on what you may have tried to manifest in the past and were unable to. Look toward the future. You can’t change the past, but you can write your future. Believe you can achieve your goal(s), open your heart and mind, and let in the limitless possibilities. \n\n•\tRaise your vibration. Your vibration is literally your personal energy. We are surrounded by energies every moment of our daily lives. When you want to manifest a desire to get things done you want to focus on the energies surrounding you and your own energies, and wrap them around what you want to manifest. How can you raise your vibration? Do something you love – sing, dance, read or write, cook, spend time with those who fill your soul with love and light. Amping up your vibration opens you up to the energies of the Universe.\n\n•\tTrust and let go. If you don’t trust in a higher power or in your energies and vibration, your desire to manifest will be blocked. Trust that whatever happens is happening for a reason. The Universe will be on the lookout for your best interests and will support and protect you. What you need to do is get out of your own way and allow the intentions you’re manifesting to come to you. If you second guess and question, your vibrations will block your intentions.\n\nNow that you know how to work on manifesting your desires to get things done you may need to, or want to, try these five steps to help with your manifestation. \n\n1.\tWhere are you in your life right now? What have you done to get to your current station or situation? The desires you’re manifesting come from who you are as a person and where you’ve been. Manifesting on the future requires you to reflect on your past. \n\n2.\tVisualize where you want t

4 Ways to Lean into Your Fears and Increase Your Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 01 Jul 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "At first glance, you may feel you have nothing to fear. You may be in a highly successful business, or you may be weathering a storm that is tough but under control. The truth is, though, we all fear something, and fear in any form is what holds us back from reaching new heights. If you want to do more, be more, have more, and achieve more than you are currently, then it is time to assess what is holding you back and find ways to lean into that fear, so it dissolves into success.\n\nSome of the most intense professions around the world – especially positions held by first responders – set an incredible example for what it looks like to face fears and run headlong toward a problem. Think about a police officer; when they hear gun shots, they run toward the sound looking to engage with the source. Consider firefighters also; they run toward the fire to put it out as quickly as possible. The same is true of snow ski experts; to be a great skier, you have to lean forward, which is incredibly counter-intuitive. Likewise, motorcyclists lean into each turn to maximize their centrifugal force, not the other way around. \n\nErik Weihenmayer is an incredible example of what it looks like to live uninhibited by fear. As a blind man, many people encouraged him to play it safe in life; to be content with his limitations. But Erik decided that life was too short to live in fear, and so he set out on what has turned into a decades-long search for adventure and meaning. He has climbed Mt. Everest, summited countless other peaks, and spoken to businesses, sports teams, and even schools on the value of struggle and setting stretch goals – audacious, scary goals that stretch you into achieving more than you ever thought possible. In a blog post he wrote,\n\n“Ama Dablam (a peak he summited) is no more special than any other mountain or goal. The simple fact is that completing this climb added meaning to my life; the same way that completing a triathlon, raising money for a local nonprofit, or losing weight might for someone else. I set a goal and worked to accomplish it – the mountain is a vehicle for building value in my life. What matters when choosing a goal is to first find the deeper vision that gives that goal purpose, and then allow ourselves the time and energy to pursue it.”\n\nSo, what can you learn from this? Your business success depends on your ability to navigate fears and obstacles in your path. Toss limiting beliefs that may be holding you back to the curb, a

5 Ways to Live Life with No Regrets

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 17 Jun 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "If you really think about it, life is pretty short. You are born, you go to school, you move out… then comes a career, you sell the business, and then you are into the retirement years. Pretty soon, you are reminiscing about the beginning and the journey that followed… but what will you say? Will you be happy with your decisions through life, or will you feel like you missed the boat on what you could have really accomplished? Will you feel good about the choices you made?\n\nAs a successful business owner, you have no doubt made some good decisions… but have you really done everything that you want to do? When you retire or are in a financial independence situation, will you look back and think to yourself ‘I did everything that I wanted to do’, or will you look back and think to yourself ‘wow, I could have done SO much more’? In light of this question, we are exploring five tips for living a life with no regrets. Being the person who you REALLY want to be, might be scary or difficult at times, but these five tips will help you to see the logical side of such a notion. \n\n1… Have a BIG goal and work towards it\nNot having a big goal in mind can really cause you to move slowly along to some final undermined outcome. If you don’t have a real, concise goal in mind, you might go through life feeling like you have no purpose. When you look back years later, you might think to yourself… ‘wow, I could have done so much. I just didn’t have any real game plan to move me in the right direction’. Having a big goal to work towards gives your life a direction and a purpose. \n\nA lot of people have passions and desires, but rarely are these feelings ever channeled into a specific purpose. A lot of people look back and are disappointed that they never got to do certain things… and they also fail to realize that passions and desires that are not coupled with a goal to work towards almost NEVER amount to much of anything. \n\n\"If you don't know where you are going, you will end up somewhere else.\" \n- Yogi Berra\n\n2… Be a positive person\nGoing through life as a grumpy, negative, nasty individual is not going to make you feel very good as you reach the end. Positive people have a way of making others feel good about themselves. They help people around them to see the good within themselves in all situations. Being this type of person is going to reward you a LOT more in life than being a negative type of person. In fact, a lot of very negative and unfriendly people

Overcoming Your Accountability Apprehension

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 10 Jun 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Many people suffer from accountability apprehension. They feel that opening themselves up to scrutiny from others will leave them vulnerable, and – sometimes – even worry that this window into their successes and failures can hold them back in any business or workplace. While this may have been true years ago, the fact is that today’s culture is one that is obsessed with personal growth, and looks favorably on individuals that take intentional measures to become better, more productive, more positive versions of themselves.\n\nJoseph Folkman, a behavioral statistician and a contributor to Forbes, says, “Personal accountability is a critical step toward improving leadership. When people are accountable for their own decisions, work, and results, the effectiveness of an organization can greatly increase.”\n\nHe conducted a study of 40,000 leaders and found incredible insights into the role accountability plays in the lives of highly successful and incredibly impactful leaders. If it works for these respected, successful individuals, the rest of us should definitely stand up and take note. \n\nAccountability Breeds Trust\n\nIn his study, Joseph Folkman found that, “the three pillars that build trust are positive relationships, knowledge, and consistency of leaders.” When we open ourselves up to the idea of being help accountable for our words and actions, we will become more reliable and consistent. We work to eliminate blind spots in our personal character, and thus mold ourselves into more trustworthy and dependable individuals. Knowledge is, after all, powerful, and gaining knowledge about ourselves and our habits is often best gained through outside voices speaking truth into our lives.\n\nDoes this sometimes mean being vulnerable and admitting mistakes? Absolutely. But would you rather be someone that can never right a wrong, or would you like to be known as the kind of person that is willing to be humble, and to learn and grow? Truly successful individuals know that growth and personal integrity are priceless, and are willing to do what it takes to level up these areas of their lives. \n\nAccountability Leads to Increased Flexibility\n\nGoing back to the study that charted the information from 40,000 business leaders, it was discovered that the most effective leaders “were good at instituting change because they were effective at the following behaviors: accepting feedback, taking on challenges, innovating, spreading optimism, showing concern, and sett

Inspiring Greatness in Your Employees

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 03 Jun 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "One of the most important tasks you as a business owner will undertake is getting employees to buy into your vision for the company and take ownership over their roles. An uninspired workforce can tank a company’s productivity and financial growth faster than almost anything else. \n\nThe people you hire to be the hands and faces of your company are out there every day representing you – they are either happily showcasing all the wonderful things about your company, or they are bringing it down with poor attitudes or a lack of enthusiasm. \n\nSo how do you inspire greatness in those that work for you? How do you promote a company vibe of inclusion, ownership and high morale?\n\nGive Them Unhindered Opportunities to Do Things Their Way\n\nNo two people are alike. We all approach problem solving and communication with a unique perspective and set of skills. When you require employees to only do things your way, you run the risk of potentially hindering them from doing their best work. You also keep them from bringing to the proverbial table all the unique skills and abilities that they have hiding inside. \n\nMicromanaging employees is a fast track to workplace dissatisfaction. It not only heaps more onto your already-full plate, but it also subtly sends the message to the people you have hired that you do not trust them to figure out how to do an exceptional job on their own. However, if you did a thorough job vetting candidates when you first hired your employees, you should be able to trust them to do the job you hired them for. Not only that, you should be able to freely give them room to grow in that role and to approach their work in the way that best fits their personality and perspective. \n\nIf you hired a bubbly and vivacious client manager that loves small talk, don’t require him or her to tone it down when speaking to clients. Perhaps you would not spend five minutes chatting up a client before digging into the details of an overdue invoice or scheduling their next appointment, but that does not mean it is wrong for your employee to work that way. \n\nBy allowing them to bring their unique voice and outlook to their tasks, you empower them to take ownership over that role. Not only that, but the chances of them staying with your company long-term increase dramatically, because they will feel appreciated, needed, and invested. \n\nHelp them Learn and Include Them in Company Growth Conversations\n\nOne of the fastest ways to alienate employees and

How Do You Change Limiting Beliefs?

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 27 May 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "If you have ever struggled to find success, or had a difficult time moving into the next level in your business or in your personal life, it could be due to limiting beliefs or perspectives that are putting a lid on your potential. In some cases, these beliefs could be mindsets you are not even aware of! \n\nOur beliefs are like guiding lights that lead us and guide our decision-making process. How we view ourselves and the world around us determines how we react to both good and bad situations. In certain cases, our beliefs about what we deserve and what we are capable of can propel us to incredible heights. However, if our beliefs about ourselves put our abilities in a box, we can stunt our own growth and cause ourselves to miss opportunities we were qualified for. \n\nHow You Speak to Yourself Matters\n\nThere is both death and life in the power of the tongue. The words we speak to others can either bring them up or tear them down. This is something everyone knows and widely accepts – but did you know that the same is true of the words you speak over yourself? The constant running dialogue we have in our minds throughout the day serves as the quiet narration of our lives – and it plays a big role in our success or failure. \n\nIf you were to write down everything you thought about yourself in a single day, would it be mostly positive or mostly negative? When you take on a task at work, do your thoughts say, “I can do this; it is important!” Or do you think, “This is boring; it is not going to be a good day.” “I don’t like making prospecting calls, but I have to do it even though I don’t want to.” One sets a positive tone and one sets a negative tone – and the crazy part is, most of the time whatever we think becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. \n\nIf we approach our work with a bad attitude, thinking the day will not go well, chances are high that it will indeed turn into a day filled with grumpiness and frustration. On the other hand, if we look at the day with positivity and joy, we will likely head home after the day is done and realize that we accomplished quite a lot and had fun doing it, or at least realized it wasn’t so bad.\n\nYour Limiting Beliefs Are Likely Ingrained Deeply in Your Subconscious\n\nThe way we view ourselves and our capabilities is something that starts becoming established in childhood, and then becomes solidified as we grow older. They often manifest themselves in the excuses we make when life does not go the way we want it to

5 Benefits Focus Brings to Your Life and Work

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 20 May 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Do you multi-task? Do you know that those who multi-task are not as effective or as efficient as those who focus their efforts on one task at a time? It’s true. When you divide your efforts and your thoughts among different and differing tasks, you are doing a disservice to yourself and to the tasks you’re attempting to finish. \n\nWhen you’re focused, you are honing in on the completion of one task. Focus helps you give all your attention to the project in front of you. Focus also helps you complete more projects rather than having multiple projects in various stages of completion. You will feel better, happier and more motivated to work on the next task when you can cross one off your current to-do list. \n\nLet’s explore five benefits that focus will bring to your work and your life. \n\n1.\tYour stress levels will plummet. When you’re focusing on more than one task at a time you will feel overwhelmed. Lack of focus makes you feel as though you have too much to do and not enough time to do it. In fact, you probably don’t have as much on your plate as you imagine, you just have too many things on your plate in various stages of completion, but you’re not checking anything off your to-do list. It’s the multiple incomplete projects that add to your stress and to your feeling of overwhelm. Focus will enhance your clarity and that will let you clearly see the path ahead and allows you to focus your efforts toward making great progress. When you’re not focused you likely feel unmotivated, frustrated and more stressed! \n\n2.\tFocus enhances momentum. When you see that you’re completing items and checking them off the to-do list, you feel more motivated to keep up that forward momentum. Making progress is motivating. Seeing progress encourages you to work harder. The snowball effect of making progress is motivating! \n\n3.\tYou will be more engaged. If you have a vested interest in completing a specific project you will be more engaged in it. Chances are you’re not afraid of hard work, but you are fearful or tired of feeling overwhelmed. When you’re overwhelmed, you feel as though “nothing, or not much, is getting done” and that is not motivating. When you’re on a winning team – even if you’re the only one on the team! – you are more engaged in the outcome and the steps to get you there. \n\n4.\tFocus helps you feel in control. When you’re focused, you are in control of the tasks in front of you and in the steps to achieve the goal. Removing distractions, whet

Effective Communication That Gets Results

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 13 May 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "“Don’t communicate to be understood; rather, communicate so as not to be misunderstood” said Dr. John Lund, a well-known author and researcher in the field of human relationships – specifically in the area of communication. This subtle distinction is incredibly important, because it puts the responsibility of understanding on the shoulders of the communicator, not the audience. If you want to communicate with your team and your clients in a way that gets the results you want, you must speak with them in a way that they receive information best, and anticipate their thoughts and needs before you ever enter into a conversation with them.\n\nMost people enter into a conversation that you are about to have with them wondering:\n\n•\tWhat do they want from me?\n•\tHow long is this going to take?\n•\tDo I care about what they are saying to me?\n•\tHow is what they are saying going to help or benefit me?\n\nIf you are speaking with employees, they may also be thinking:\n\n•\tAm I in trouble; have I done something wrong?\n•\tIs my workload going to be made heavier?\n•\tI have work to finish before I can go home - how long will this take?\n\nIf you can find a way to manage conversation expectations from the very beginning, the chances of the person you are speaking to actually listening to what you have to say and engaging with you goes up exponentially.\n\nClearly State Your Purpose\n\nBefore you get into the meat of the conversation with a client or employee, it is best to come right out and address what the conversation is about and also address any of the previously mentioned questions they may be thinking. This could look like:\n\n“Hello (client name), I wanted to talk to you about (state your purpose or conversation goal) – it should only take about fifteen minutes and I really think that it will benefit you personally/your business/your bottom line/etc.” In just a few short words, you have clearly outlined what you expect to discuss with them, you have offered them an idea of how long you expect the discussion to take, and you have outlined a glimpse of how you think the conversation topic will benefit or affect them. \n\nIf you need to speak with an employee about a disciplinary issue, for example, you could say, “Hello (employee name); I need to discuss (state the infraction) with you; it should only take a few minutes, and while I am disappointed to have to address this with you, I value you as an employee and think we can work through this quickly togeth

How to Reduce Distractions and Interruptions

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 06 May 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Putting in a full, productive workday is sometimes easier said than done. Despite the best of intentions, some days can just seem to get away from you – turning into emergency response days or employee management days that – although necessary to keep things running smoothly – nevertheless take away from the precious time you have available to complete what is on your to-do list. \n\nUnmanaged distractions can slowly chip away at your ability to focus on necessary, high payoff activities that move your business toward success. In some cases, those distractions can actually lead to calculation errors or financial errors that cost you big time in the long run. If you find yourself continually interrupted by people or your own thoughts, it can also take a toll on your overall attitude and even your mental state at the office. The bottom line is: if you always feel unsettled and anxious about getting interrupted, it will keep you from doing your best work. \n\nSo, how can you reduce distractions and avoid interruptions? Is it even possible to create a work environment that is productive and avoids emergencies altogether? \n\nSet Your Team and Your Schedule Up for Success\n\nWhile it is virtually impossible to eliminate all of the last-minute issues that crop up during the week (you are after all a business owner with a busy schedule and a company to run, and if issues arise you need to be the one with the last word on how they are handled), it is definitely possible to structure your business in such a way as to significantly reduce the amount of times you are pulled away from productive tasks to focus on something unplanned. \n\nTo improve your workplace schedule and eliminate distractions and interruptions, try implementing one or more of these 4 proven productivity tips I’m going to share with you now:\n\n1.\tSchedule your day in blocks of 60-90 minutes at a time whenever possible. This allows you to focus on specific big-picture tasks without being distracted, since there are consistent breaks in your day between these blocks where you can get refocused on the next activities by fully closing out the previous activity. For shorter tasks, consider 10-15-minute sprints, where you can knock out several quick but vital tasks (answering emails, returning client calls, and more) without fear of interruptions. Scheduling meetings with the team is a time block that can take 10-30 minutes, so nobody interrupts anyone with things that can be handled in a scheduled m

6 Ways to Stick to Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 15 Apr 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Sticking to your goals is not always easy. It can be very tempting to give up and stay where you are… but this is not what you really want for yourself! Part of setting worthwhile goals and sticking to them is that this process allows you to grow as a person. If you give up and go back to the way you were before, then you are not going to have the peace of mind and confidence that comes from KNOWING that you can achieve your true potential in life!\n\nMaybe your goals are business related, or maybe they are personal. Regardless of what they are, they MUST be important to you…so why give up on them? Life is what you make of it, and achieving goals is one way to shape your life on YOUR terms. Your dreams are something that nobody can take from you, which is why sticking to them is SO important!\n\nThe 6 tips for helping you to stick to your goals that I’m about to review with you are simple to understand, and they can help you with even the most complex goals that might be in your game plan! \n\n1… Find a Solution\nThe first key to sticking with your goals is to find a solution whenever a problem or an obstacle presents itself. It can be very tempting to give up when faced with obstacles, but what you NEED to remember is that obstacles are a part of life. You may never have a goal that does not lead you through some challenges before you see it through. Having the strength of mind that it takes to find a solution, regardless of how big the problem is, is exactly what you need if you want to stay focused, so you don’t give up. \n\n2… Anticipate Problems\nTry to think ahead to problems that could arise as you pursue your goals. Getting blindsided by a problem is always worse than dealing with a problem that you saw coming, which is why learning to anticipate is going to be very helpful if you want to avoid the discouragement that comes from being pelted with problems that appeared out of nowhere. Learn to look ahead and plan for problems that may or may not come your way. \n\nOne method that works great for this is to sit down and list all of the possible obstacles that you might face as you achieve that goal. For every goal that you set, take some time to brainstorm where things could go wrong as you pursue it. Think about how setbacks could occur, and think about what problems they would cause you. If you have done your best to brainstorm any potential setbacks BEFOREHAND, then you will not be as surprised when a few problems do come up, and you will have al

How to Stay Focused on Results and Increase Your Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 01 Apr 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel of a work goal can be difficult. Motivation is high in the beginning of a project, and then seems to taper off as time goes on. However, there are techniques that can be employed to be able to stay on course. Being results-driven provides a clear path of the direction you need to go in order to achieve them. Let’s explore 8 techniques to help you stay focused on getting the results you want.\n\n1. Proper Planning for Results\nCreate a detailed action plan for achieving the results you desire before you lose focus. Planning your daily, weekly and monthly objectives around the end results, makes you more efficient and productive. This means writing down exactly what you want to achieve and the means to get there. Make sure the results, and the plan to get there, are specific and include weekly or monthly targets. Then your daily tasks, such as phone calls, emails, and projects should center around the results.\n\n2. Perform a SWOT Analysis\nPart of getting to those desired results is realizing what challenges you will be up against. Performing a SWOT analysis of strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats should be a part of your strategic plan. It will give you an idea of your weaknesses and the challenges that might be coming down the road, so you can prepare for them. This will keep you from falling off track. \n\n3. A Mission Statement\nYour company most likely has a mission statement. If not, you need one. But what about you? A mission statement will help steer your time and efforts toward those results. You can start by asking yourself how you will conduct your day differently with those results in mind. Your individual mission statement should be about 4-5 sentences and visible to you every day, so you don’t forget what you are after. When you lose focus, go back to the mission statement for re-centering. \n\n4. Create Milestones\nLong-term results can be difficult to remain focused on. Break that end-goal up into smaller pieces, so you don’t lose motivation. A set of milestones will help you move toward those results while keeping you on track. The milestones can be set daily, weekly or monthly, depending on the scope of your project. Smaller goals are more reasonable to achieve than one big goal and will force you to check on your progress more often. You can even set the same activities every week to review your progress, which I strongly recommend you do. \n\n5. Prioritize\nNow t

3 Efficiency Actions and Behaviors to Increase Your Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 25 Mar 2021 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Running a business is a lot like a Nascar race. There are large amounts of sustained momentum coupled with dedicated adjustment or growth times. In a race, the efficiency of the pit crew can often make or break a driver’s race position, and those team members have their processes down to split seconds of perfectly timed precision. Likewise, businesses often have areas within their own workflow that need to be executed with efficient action, otherwise they run the risk of causing slowdowns and missing big opportunities.\n\n“Well-oiled or finely tuned, a business must work and keep working for both owners and consumers alike. Unfortunately, inefficiency is a reality. It comes in a variety of flavors that can cost businesses up to 30 percent of their revenue each year. Inefficiency can pop up in many places. You might find redundant processes, important but hard-to-find information, or out-of-date procedures.” Source: Entrepreneur.com\n\nSo, how do you identify areas in your business that need to be revitalized to increase your efficiency and overall productivity? Try these three ideas I’m about to share with you.\n\n1. Take Risks and Try New Things\n\nIf you suspect that something is not working as efficiently as it could, you may need to try something new to see if it will work better. No one solution works for everyone, and sometimes the best way to ascertain if a new process, system, or action will help you or your team perform better is to give it a try for a few weeks or months. For example, if you feel like email is a consistent stumbling block that ties up too much of your time each week, consider using your assistant or a virtual assistant (VA) whose sole task is to manage client communications, thus freeing you up to tackle higher-level tasks that you and only you can handle. \n\nAre meetings bogging down your team’s productivity? You may want to try moving communications over to Slack or Asana, so everyone can stay on the same page for the things relevant to their workflow, and they can stay out of things that do not require their time or attention. It may take some time before the new processes you put in place begin to gain momentum and produce your desired efficiency outcomes, but if you never take the leap and try something new, you will never know what you may be missing out on. That new process or action could streamline your workflow and free up precious minutes or hours that can then be spent on what really matters to your company’s vision

3 Important Aspects of Time Blocking Your Calendar

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 11 Mar 2021 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Originally thought to have been popularized by a man named Cal Newport, time blocking is simply the practice of holding space in each day for your top priorities, and then filling in the gaps around those time blocks with other important tasks or events until your days are filled.\n\nWhile how this plays out is likely different for everyone, the principle of carving out time to do the activities you need to do and achieve your goals. How do you intent to spend your time is what matters. \n\nIf the end goal of time blocking is increased productivity and decreased stress, then developing a commitment to living life (or at least carrying out your workday) in a structured series of segments is well worth the potential gains. If you are interested in learning to effectively time block your days, be sure to take the following 3 aspects of effective time management into consideration:\n\n1. Identify recurring tasks or events and streamline those in your calendar\n\nWhen you are able to identify recurring events inside of your calendar, you are well on the way to saving time and making your life a whole lot more organized. The truth is, much of our daily life is cyclical and repetitive – we get up at the same time each day, we visit the same places each week, we speak with the same clients each month; the list goes on and on. Setting up recurring time blocks in your preferred calendar or schedule application will save you time and energy. \n\nIf you prefer to work with a handwritten calendar (like a Franklin Day Planner), you can achieve the same result by sitting down at the start of every month or quarter and manually mapping out any recurring work to-do items that you know will happen on a consistent basis. When you eliminate the need to think about every single item on your calendar every day, you decrease the potential decision fatigue that you may face and also decrease the mental strain you have from trying to remember too many things. You no longer have to be afraid you will forget to do something.\n\n2. Look through the lens of being in control\nMost successful business people have aversions to being controlled; they prefer to be masters of their own fates. While having a regimented, intensely scheduled calendar may seem daunting and oppressive at first, it is actually incredibly freeing once you lean into the benefits of a controlled schedule. Eliminating spontaneous events in your day also eliminates unnecessary stress and gives you freedom to choose wh

Belief Has the Power to Help You Achieve Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 04 Mar 2021 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Nick Saban (who you might know from him being the American football coach at the University of Alabama since 2007) said, “When you invest your time, you make a goal and a decision of something that you want to accomplish. Whether it's, make good grades in school, be a good athlete, be a good person, go down and do some community service and help somebody who's in need, or whatever it is you choose to do, you're investing your time in that.” \n\nThe key element there is investment. We can’t ever hope to achieve something worthwhile if we don’t believe it is possible - if we are not emotionally invested in its success. If we don’t believe in our ability to figure something out, or to find success, then no one else will either! We can either be our own worst enemy or the best cheerleader we’ve ever had. But not at the same time. We are, at any given time, either tearing down our dreams and goals, or building them up. \n\nWhat You Believe Will Likely Come to Pass\n\nIn order to truly be successful, you have to believe you have the capacity for that success. Ultimately, it is all about harnessing the power of the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction is simple. It is the belief that having positive thoughts about your life and future will “attract” more positivity and prosperity in your life. Also called “self-fulfilling prophecy,” this concept is not a new one. \n\nFor example, if you go into a meeting thinking it will be boring and you will get nothing from it, don’t be surprise when you walk away having learned nothing new. You got out of it what you expected to find. Likewise, an open-minded person that goes into that same meeting prepared to have it be intriguing and beneficial, will likely find at least one usable nugget of information they can benefit from; therefore, reinforcing their initial belief about how the meeting should go.\n\nHow we feel about certain situations trickles into our body language and into our subconscious thoughts. If you dread going to work each day, it won’t be long before your posture becomes slumped, your attitude becomes poor, and your performance becomes lackluster. You have to intentionally change your feelings and – often – your body language – to reflect a new way of thinking in order to reach new goals and realize different outcomes and better outcomes for your life. \n\nDon’t Underestimate the Power of Positivity\n\nMuch like a boomerang, the beliefs and thoughts you put into your mind, and the energy you project int

5 Effective and Incredibly Powerful Goal Setting Principles

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 18 Feb 2021 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "The concept of goal setting is nothing new for those in business. Touted by everyone from Tony Robbins to Oprah as being a necessary part of a high-functioning life, setting an intention and then doing what it takes to reach it is a necessary skill that everyone believes is important. But how many of us actually set goals that take us where we want to go and then arrive there?\n\nOne study says that as few as eight percent of people set goals that they later achieve. The study focused on New Year’s resolutions, but it nevertheless paints a shocking picture of how we as a society tend to flippantly set goals without ever having a true intention of fulfilling those dreams and plans. \n\nSo, what did the elite eight percent do to set themselves apart from their peers? \n\n1. They Began with The Big Picture in Mind\n\nPeople that consistently achieve their goals spend time considering what steps are necessary to get across the finish line. That means looking at all the little, tedious steps (https://www.wendaful.com/2017/12/breaking-down-goals/) needed to get from A to Z and then plotting those steps – like a graph – across the timeline they have set up. They literally eliminated all of the guesswork, and in doing so they removed a majority of the barriers to success.\n\n2. They Got Hyper-Specific\n\nSetting a vague goal is a sure-fire way to kill your progress before it even begins. The less specific we are when setting a goal, the more wiggle room we give our subconscious self later on when we are running low on discipline and mental toughness. Instead of saying, “I want to increase revenue this year” say “In the first quarter of 2021 I will increase revenue by 12% by running targeted social media ads.” The difference in these two statements is that one is action focused and the other is more of a general statement. One provides a clear plan, and the other is left open for a bland future interpretation of success.\n\n3. They Surrounded Themselves with Unwavering Support \n\nWe were created for community. We crave connection. It is no surprise, then, that statistically those in the study that surrounded themselves with accountability were so much more likely to succeed. When you have people in your corner cheering you on, you will be able to find the strength to push on, even when you feel tired and discouraged.\n\n4. They Used External Stimuli to Boost Their Focus\n\nThis is an interesting principle, but one that merits exploration. We as humans are visual,

4 Forms of Accountability You Need for Even Greater Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 11 Feb 2021 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Accountability is more than just a friend that calls you up occasionally to make sure you’re sticking to your weight loss goals. It’s also more than the occasional roundtable discussion with business colleagues checking in how everyone in the group is doing in terms of hitting their quarterly financial goals. True, meaningful accountability serves to prop you up when you feel discouraged, and also propels you to heights you never thought possible. \n\nWhile there are many different types of accountability, both business and personal, these 4 types of accountability are ones you need to place in your life immediately:\n\n1.\tCharacter Accountability\n2.\tTime Management Accountability\n3.\tStrategic, Goal-Based Accountability\n4.\tRelationship Accountability\n\nUltimately, accountability is never just a one-time thing that applies to just a single area of life. To find even greater success, you need to be open to being challenged in all areas of your life. We can’t usually see our own blind spots – it takes trusted people in our lives to point them out to us and to provide us the support we need to work through those weak points intentionally.\n\n1. Character Accountability\n\nOur character, reputation, and word are the foundation that everything about us is built on. If our work teams can’t trust us to follow through on a promise, or if our clients can’t depend on us to deliver on time, or if our families can’t believe that we will come through for them when they need us, then nothing else really matters. Success in other areas of life is negated if our character isn’t rock-solid. \n\nFinding people or a person to hold us to a high standard of integrity in our personal and professional lives is one of the best things we can do to level up how we are currently living life. We all have room for improvement, and it takes others to shine a light on areas we don’t want to see or deal with because we know deep down that it takes a lot of work and discipline to change deeply ingrained character habits. \n\n2. Time Management Accountability\n\nHow we choose to spend our time can make or break our success. From spending too much time getting lost in social media, to occupying our workdays with excessive meetings instead of focusing on what brings in revenue and makes the most of our skills, time management is a hugely important aspect to prioritize and continually improve. \n\nThis area of life provides a great opportunity for you to forge relationships with like-m

4 Time Management Principles to Accelerate Your Results

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 04 Feb 2021 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about 4 Time Management Principles Guaranteed to Help You Accelerate Your Results.\n\nTime management is not just a buzzword that you can throw around but never dig into. It’s also not something you try on for a week or two and become instantly successful at. If you want to truly accelerate your workday efforts and get more done in less time, it will require discipline and humility. \n\nThe rewards though? They are well worth the sacrifice. In addition to having more mental and physical bandwidth for the people and projects in your life that you truly care about, improving your time management gives you mental space for a renewed passion for your business and increased patience and resilience for the difficult things your workday throws your way.\n\nWhile there are many different principles that you can focus on that will help move you closer to a more productive schedule, these four time management principles are guaranteed to help accelerate your results and boost your productivity. The catch is that they all require intentionality.\n\nThese principles will not work unless you do, which is both liberating and limiting. However, if you are ready to find freedom and move beyond being a slave to your business and your to-do list, then roll up your sleeves and get ready to dive in.\n\n1. Remove Distractions – Even the Good Ones\n\nPerhaps one of the greatest workplace myths is the one that says we can multitask well. We may be multitasking, but the ball is always getting dropped somewhere. Our brains are only hardwired to be able to handle one thing at one time. We are fooled into thinking we are doing multiple things at once, but really our brains are just swapping back and forth at tremendous speeds. \n\nAdding more to the already spinning plate just makes it more difficult to gracefully switch to something different when the time comes. Not only that, but it actually takes longer to complete tasks this way. When was the last time you found enjoyment and success while trying to simultaneously eat a waffle and go for a jog? The answer is never – you would never try to overlap those two tasks because of the sheer impracticality of it all. Multitasking in business may appear to be more practical, but don’t be fooled. Dialing in your focus on one thing at a time whenever possible is a truly simple way to see amazing time management and productivity results. \n\n2. Track Your Time and Then Honestly Evaluate How You Spent It\n\nIn order to

4 Tips for Helping You to Stick To Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 21 Jan 2021 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about 4 Tips for Helping You to Stick To Your Goals, so you have the highest probability of achieving them in the timeframe you desire.\n\nWe’ve all been there before…we find a goal that inspires us and we commit to doing the work…until life derails us. Whether it was that vacation, your assistant suddenly quits, or death in the family, the truth is life sometimes distracts us from our goals. Dealing with the disruption is one thing, getting back on track can be another.\n\nOkay, Let’s get going with the 4 tips to help you stick to your goals so you can get back on track and stay on track. \n\nTip #1: Focus on the Reward - Not the Work\nWise sages advise us to “be in the moment,” but let’s face it - you don’t always feel like running that last mile. You’re human; sometimes you lose your motivation in the middle of having to “do the work.”\n\nIf you’re losing your motivation, switch your focus on the reward. Focus on the good feelings of having accomplished your goal and how much easier it will be the next time because you will have broken through another limiting belief.\n\n“We only learn our limits by going beyond them.” ~Unknown\n\nTip #2: The Have-To’s Sometimes Turn into the Want-To’s\nThe work involved with achieving goals can feel like a “have-to” in the beginning, but they often turn into a “want-to” by the end of the process. They become a positive habit - a healthy way of being - while the work part eventually melts away.\n\nThis happens because it’s not always about the end result - it’s about the person you become as a result of the process.\n\nWhen you learn a new way of living - a way of living that better represents and supports your true potential - things that used to be a “have-to” transform into a “want-to.”\n\n“Conquer your bad habits or they will conquer you.” ~Charles A. Jaffe\n\nTip #3: It’s Who You Become in the Process\nThe person you woke up as today may not be the same person you wake up as tomorrow - or the day after that - or next week - or ten years from now.\n\nWhile it’s impossible to predict exactly who you’ll be in the future, it’s a safe bet that you will not be the exact same person. \n\nLife is a process of constant change and transformation. Each day we learn more about ourselves, which results in greater clarity of our true desires. The path between where we are and where we want to be becomes more clear and focused, creating a deep and focused desire to see the process through. \n\nSetting goa

3 Steps to Writing an Effective Business Plan that Inspires

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 14 Jan 2021 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "The idea of starting your own business can be exciting and inspiring, but for most small business owners, writing an effective business plan is not considered an exciting part of starting the process; therefore, many choose not to create one or update it on a consistent basis. Traditional business plans can be very dry and uninteresting, so you are about to learn how to create an effective business plan that not only gets you excited, it will inspire you, and others, to take action.\n\nThe length and details of an effective business plan will be determined by the type of business you’re creating or updating the one you currently have. The key is to create not just another business plan, but an effective business plan that inspires you, and others, to take action. \n\nFirst, let’s get clear on the essential components of an effective business plan:\n\n•\tExecutive Summary \n•\tMarket Analysis \n•\tCompany Description \n•\tOrganization & Management \n•\tMarketing & Sales Management \n•\tService or Product Line \n•\tFunding Request \n•\tFinancials \n•\tAppendix\n\nPart 1: Executive Summary\nThe executive summary is the most important component of an effective business plan because it will be the first thing the reader sees. This is where you’ve got to grab the reader’s attention and inspire them to support your vision through your mission statement. Provide a history of your company, its current standing, and future vision.\n\nAlthough the executive summary should be the first component in the business plan layout, it should actually be the last component you create. Once you have completed all other components it will be easier to come back to the executive summary and nicely tie in key points.\n\nPart 2: Market Analysis\nThis is your opportunity to shine and highlight your knowledge of the industry. This will also be where you will identify your target market and what you know about them. Take this opportunity to spotlight comprehensive market research and projected profit margins.\n\nPart 3: Company Description\nKeeping it brief, describe how all the elements of your business fit together. This component should include how the nature of your business makes you unique and the primary factors that will make your company a success. Be sure to clarify the marketplace need and how your company is poised for a competitive edge.\n\nPart 4: Operation and Management\nIn this component, include your business’s organizational structure, details about owners

Michael Arterberry – Overcoming Adversity and Obstacles

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 07 Jan 2021 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "As a teenager, Michael Arterberry was fortunate to receive guidance from positive adult role models who helped him overcome adversities and set high expectations for his future. Grateful for the role these mentors played in his own development, Michael decided to dedicate his professional life to helping people navigate the difficulties of life and launch their future into motion. For more than 25 years, he has been helping teens and adults to use what they have gone through as a catalyst for success rather than an obstacle for failure.\n\nIn 2008, Michael founded Youth Voices Center, Inc. a non-profit with the mission of helping young people to become active, productive members of society by overcoming their obstacles, their history, stereotypes and even their own self-image and limiting beliefs. Michael is the author of \"Be Encouraged: 250 Days of Motivation and Encouragement\", a daily motivational book.\n \nHere are some questions I asked Michael that you will benefit from by listening to his answers:\n\n1) I have had people talk about how they wanted to achieve a particular goal and they had people (friends, family, and peers) telling them their goals were too big or they should rethink their goals to deflate their desire for their stated goal (unintentionally or maybe intentionally). \n\nYou have a comment in your book that says: Don't let someone who gave up on their dreams talk you out of yours. Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. Can you elaborate on this please?\n\nMichael said: “Don’t let history control your destiny.” \n\n2) At different times in our lives I think we have all felt overwhelmed with something. What do you do suggest we do that can help up when we might be feeling overwhelmed?\n\n3) You have a comment in your book that basically says: Perception is everything and there is a danger in a flawed perception. What exactly do you mean by this and how would we know we have a flawed perception, and then how could we fix it going forward?\n\nMichael said: There is danger in low expectations. We have to run after our destiny because as we run for what is in front of us, we escape what's behind us. \n\n4) What are the consequences or challenges of \"losing your keys\" that you talk about?\n\nMichael wrote: \"Be the Driver of Your Car\" \nHelping people to take control of their lives and not allow others to control their destiny or journey. We are a product of our thought lives. If we allow our own, personal negative thoughts pl

14 Tips to Help You Maintain Work Life Balance

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 29 Dec 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Maintaining balance when the demands of work and life are pulling you in different directions can be a bit challenging at times. What’s at the heart of finding balance in your life? Peace, happiness, rest, health? The definition of balance is different for everyone: What may be balance to me may not be balance to you; which is why it’s important to get to the heart of what’s uniquely important in your life. \n\nLet’s explore the 14 tips to help you maintain work life balance. Choose 1 or 2 of the 14 tips to help you get even better at having work life balance.\n\nTip #1. Identify Your Core Values (what is truly important to you in life)\nAbove all, honoring your core values is vital to maintaining a sense of balance because it directly affects your quality of life. Identify your core values and make the necessary life/work changes that honor them, so you can enjoy the kind of business and life you truly want and deserve. To help you identify your core values, complete my Values Clarification Exercise. \n\nTo download my complimentary 6-page Values Clarification Exercise to help get you started on defining and getting clarity on your core values, go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/values-clarification/.\n\n2. Know Your Priorities – and Schedule Them\nIf it’s really important, it must be scheduled. As I often say, honor thy calendar. Work and family are not the only important priorities, so be sure to schedule “you” time where you can to refuel, rejuvenate and tend to your own health and well-being. I believe that in order to stay focused on your high payoff activities and achieve your goals you must schedule everything on your calendar.\n\n3. Establish a Home Office\nIf you struggle with traveling to and from an office away from home, save time and get even more done by establishing a home office. Word of caution: it can be easy to get distracted by personal matters and family members when working from home, so set clear “office hours” where you can focus on work and will not be disturbed. Certainly, working virtually is much more common today than it used to be.\n\n4. Work Remotely 1-2 Days per Week\nIf you work best outdoors or in your favorite peaceful environment, schedule “remote” days where you can head to your favorite destination to brainstorm new business ideas or boost production. Wherever you typically work, find a new place to be remote from your normal work environment and see how much more you get done.\n\n5. Reduce Your Expenses\nI

4 Essentials of a Successful Business Plan

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Does your business plan have holes? Do you even have a business plan? When was the last time you looked at it (last January when you created it)? Many aspects of a business plan are overlooked and that can lead to professional disaster. Before you can build a successful business, you must first learn how to create a solid business plan. Not surprisingly, writing a business plan can be a tedious process. You may be tempted to jump in head first, but it’s important to pinpoint these basic questions before you move forward. Given the adequate preparation and attention a successful business plan needs, your worthwhile investment will build your business on a solid foundation. Now, let’s explore the four essentials of successful business planning. \n\n1. Defined Purpose: Before you can go anywhere, you must first know where you are headed. Ever attempt a cross-country road-trip without a map or GPS? Well, building a business plan without having a vision for the business is much like driving a car without a map or directions.\n\nDefining the purpose of your business will give you a starting and ending point - both of which are essential to building a solid business plan. First, define the benefits you are delivering to clients. From there, define how those benefits will change your clients’ lives for the better. What will they specifically be able to do that they weren’t able to do before they purchased your product or service? \n\nIf you’re not quite sure of the answers, start with these bullet points:\n•\tWho will you be selling these items to? Define your ideal client.\n•\tWhat product or service are you providing? What purpose does it provide?\n•\tWhere you will be selling it from? Catalog? Website? In-Person? Third party?\n•\tWhy would consumers purchase your product or service? What needs/hole/void does it fill?\n\nIf you’re specializing in a specific item or service, try to locate accessories or add-on services to market along with the main product. Does it make sense for you to open up a brick and mortar shop or is it more practical to open up shop online? Yes, properly answering these questions can be time consuming, but preparing a successful business plan is essential to setting your business up for success. \n\n2. Detailed Marketing Strategy: No business can survive without an effective marketing strategy. When starting a business, it’s imperative to be aware of exactly how you’re going to locate clients for your business. Unf

The Only Thing Stopping You from Achieving Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about being a Dreamer or a Doer – which is the only thing stopping you from achieving your goals.\n\nYou set goals, yet you don’t achieve them. Time and time again you find yourself stopping midway between the start and finish lines. You start off running out of the gate, enthused and driven to make a difference this time, but each time, something derails you from sticking to the game plan.\n\nPerhaps you convinced yourself that it was lack of time, energy, or resources. You simply didn’t have the time to stick to it or that a 5am run or late night at the gym was the last thing you felt motivated to do. You didn’t have a babysitter…or the money…or the will power.\n\nIt’s the classic paradox of Dreamer vs. Doer.\n\nAs you know, my Excuses Don’t Count; Results Rule (https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/excuses-dont-count-results-rule-book/) philosophy is the basis for my coaching business because excuses are never the real reason you stop short of your goals. No, the real reason is something entirely different.\n\nSo, what’s the real reason behind all those excuses you make?\n\nYou are simply not willing to do what it takes to achieve your goals. You just don’t want what you say you want badly enough to actually do what it takes.\n\nThis is the real reason, and the only thing, stopping you from achieving your goals. Plain and simple.\n\nThe initial desire of achieving a goal may be enough to kick-start your action plan, but it takes commitment to maintain the motivation to achieve the goal.\n\nCommitment is what separates the dreamer from the doer.\n\nNo matter what the nature of the excuse is the only reason you stop short of achieving your goal is because the desire to do whatever it takes to achieve the goal isn’t strong enough.\n\nIn other words - you don’t want it bad enough to commit to being a doer.\n\nIf you’re tired of start-stop goal setting, here are some tips for helping you understand the reasons behind not wanting it bad enough:\n\nThe Payoff Isn’t High Enough\nSometimes the payoff (future benefit) of goal achievement isn’t enough to maintain your motivation in the now. That last mile....that last lap…that last squat… another phone call to a prospect… it can be challenging to find the motivation from the payoff - especially when it isn’t high enough.\n\nYour payoff should be so enticing that there is no question in your mind that you are sticking to your game plan. No questions, no excuses. You desire that payoff so deeply

Sean Lowery Interview – The Entrepreneurial Mindset

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 03 Dec 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Sean Lowery is a highly motivated and passionate entrepreneur. While living in his mom's basement, Sean was called T-shirt boy. Now he runs a 7-figure e-commerce and clothing business called United Monograms. Sean is a thought leader and innovator in his industry. He strives to teach and impact millions of entrepreneurs and individuals around the world.

His incredible work ethic, passion to serve others, and obsession to build an empire, makes Sean the success story he is today.

(ex. 7 years or 10,000 hours to be good at what you do.)\n\n4.\tWhat is the best way to become an effective delegator, so you only do what you can do and nobody else can do?\n\n5.\tHow do you view the concept of working hard versus working smart?\n\n6.\tHow do you suggest people work to overcome obstacles that can get in their way and slow them from achieving their goals?\n\nYou can check out Sean Lowery at https://www.seanlowery.show/ or his products at https://www.united-monograms.com/.

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 26 Nov 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "How would you answer this question? Are you a grateful person? \n\nAre you thankful for the good things, big and small, in your life?\n\nAs quickly as time moves, technology advances, all the work deadlines and a long to-do list, and personal chores we have to do, it is sometimes too easy to forget all the things we are grateful for and all the gifts we receive every day. I’m talking about simple things like, the air we breathe, the health we have, and our friendships. There is always something to be thankful for, in my opinion. I’m just as guilty as most of us and sometimes forget to focus on all the things that I’m grateful for, but I do try to be even more grateful each week and as time goes on.\n\nJim Rohn has a great quote. He said: “Learn to be thankful for what you already have, while you pursue all that you want.” \n\nWhat are all the things you are grateful for?\n\nAt the end of the day, right before you go to sleep, think about all those things you are grateful for, and see how well you sleep. \n\nI’m grateful for you and for you listening to my Accountability Coach podcast.\nLet me know how else I can be of service to you on your goal achievement journey, so you can have the kind of business and life you truly want and deserve.\n\nAim for what you want each and every day! \n\nIf you are getting value from any of Podcasts, please take a minute to leave me a short rating and review.

3 Tips for Building a Team that Increases Your Success

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about 3 Tips for Building a Team that Increases Your Firm's Success.\n\nIf you want to learn how to build a team that builds success, you will want to take a look at the big picture. Take any successful entrepreneur, and behind him or her, you will find a well-suited team of supportive, knowledgeable, and energetic members all dedicated to increasing the success of your business.\n\nTip #1 for building a team that builds success. If you’re trying to understand how to build a team that builds success, you should first pinpoint the mission of your business. Only when you have a clear understanding, as a leader, of the mission of your business, can you build the right team. When you can clearly identify and emotionally connect with the mission, you are able to identify the right people who are best suited to support the success of your business.\n\nDepending on the mission statement of the business, you may need to focus on building a team of creatives, analytics, intellectuals, or spiritualists. For example, a PR (public relations) firm wouldn’t necessarily build a team of spiritualists; that personality would be better suited for a business that is motivational or inspirationally based. A PR firm would more likely hire creatives and intellectuals. Another example of personality matching would be an accounting firm; they would look to building a team of analytical members, not necessarily creatives or spirituals. \n\nAlways start with the mission of the business, and then build your team. Let’s say you need an assistant to travel with you to help you with live events such as seminars and guest appearances. An important personality factor would be to ensure the team member has the following qualities:\n•\treliable and punctual\n•\tgreat organizer\n•\tkeeps you calm under times of stress\n•\ttakes care of the small details so you don’t have to\n•\tloves traveling\n•\tlove meeting new people\n•\thas a personable, magnetic personality \n\nAction Step #1\nRevisit your professional mission statement. If it doesn’t “sit right” with you or isn’t specific enough, rewrite it. Your mission statement should always begin with benefit(s) to your clients (and who those clients are), followed by a reason(s). It should always invoke some meaning for you, as in a passion or personal mission. \n\nFor example, “ABC International is dedicated to providing expert overseas investment advice to small business owners (less than 20 employees) in the U.

10 No-Cost, Low-Cost Ways to Grow Your Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 19 Nov 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about 10 No-Cost, Low-Cost Ways to Market Your Business for Increased Success. \n\nGreat marketing goes beyond traditional marketing strategies. We’ve been experiencing a whole new era of online and offline marketing that allow you to market one-to-many for the best results. You don’t need expensive marketing resources to produce great results - here’s where you can get creative and have fun! Here are 10 No-Cost and Low-Cost Ways to Market Your Businesses.\n\nTip #1: Reach Out To Strategic Partners\nStrategic Partners are a complement (not competition) to your business (as your business is to theirs). Provide an Ideal Client Description and ask if they know someone who is an ideal fit. If they do know someone who would benefit from working with you, ask them to pass along your contact information to the prospect. (Asking for the prospect’s contact information - and contacting them directly - may not always be appropriate. Follow the Strategic Partner’s client privacy policy before contacting the prospect.) Last but not least - return the favor.\n\nTip #2: Develop Joint-Venture Projects\nJoint-Ventures are gaining popularity as we find it’s not only more effective, but sometimes necessary, to pool resources together. This marketing strategy accomplishes two goals: 1) Gets your business in front of a new market and 2) Allows opportunities for new or creative products or services you may have previously been unable to provide. *Choose Joint-Venture Partners wisely… once a partnership is formed, reputations will inevitably be tied to one another.\n\nTip #3: Build a Community\nThe power of the community deeply serves us. Create an in-person or virtual community where like-minded business owners can meet once a week to discuss marketing strategies that work or brainstorm new and innovative ways to attract ideal clients. Use your business brand or personal philosophy as an anchor to the community and you’ll be providing what no one else can.\n\nTip #4: Update Client Success Stories\nYou may have client testimonials, but do you have updated success stories? Contact clients who have worked with you and ask them to provide their latest success story by specifically tying at least one piece of their success to something they learned or were provided by your product, program, or service. The greater the success story - the greater the value that directly ties back to your business. Promote the updated testimonials and remember to put them on your

Your Mindset Makes a Difference in Your Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 12 Nov 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about ideas to help you with your mindset because I believe mindset can make all the difference in your success. \n\nWhether or not you realize it, your business success and revenue will always be in line with your mindset. Think big and you will get much bigger results; think small and…well, you can guess what that brings. The key to growing your business is thinking big!\n\nWhat happens when you think small?\n\nYou end up thinking about how you’re going to “get by,” or “make it one more month.” Chances are you’re thinking of the immediate short term, just enough to save you temporarily. Another aspect of thinking small is thinking in terms of compensation on an hourly scale. You can’t even think in terms of investments or what would benefit you long term, because you can’t afford to. When you think small, you can only focus on making money for the here and now. \n\nWhat’s the first thing when you consider a new project, application, or business expense? Could it be how much it’s going to cost you? That mindset alone will keep you trapped where you are until you figure out a new way of thinking.\n\nTo break out of the “thinking small” shell, start considering the value of what it is you are investing in. What will it help you accomplish? What benefits will it deliver? Will it help drive sales? Will it help build your business? Will it free up your time? Those are the questions you should be asking yourself. \n\nWhat happens when you think big?\n\nWealthy people think differently, and that’s no secret, but, what may not be so obvious is how their mindset directly affects their ability to continually grow. They have simply learned through experience or from the guidance of a mentor that there are successful ways to do things - and they know it all starts with mindset. They learn these traits, study them, and perfect them until they make calculated moves that are more times successful than not. I believe that because successful people think big, they have learned to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, and that consistently pushes them to do activities that get them to their next level, then the next level, then the next level.\n\nRemember the software that you didn’t want to invest money into because you thought it was too expensive? Well, that was the first thing your successful counterpoint purchased! Why? Because it cut time by a third, reduced expenses and increased revenue. While you’re still struggling, the

Interview with Chris Atley – Mindset Expert

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 05 Nov 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Chris Atley is a Canadian living her dream in a small beach town in California! BUT her dream almost didn't happen. Thankfully, she made the decision to live her life full out, put other people's expectations to the side and got out of her own way! When she learned and shifted the disempowering beliefs that were running her life, she was able to grow her business 10x in just 10-months, and move to her dream spot by the beach with her family. Chris has a BA in Psychology and is a Master NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Practitioner. Chris enjoys sharing how our beliefs dictate every single action we take (or don't take), and what we can do to manifest our hearts desires! Because BELIEVE is one of my favorite words and has a big impact on how we go through life, and because success is 90% mindset, I thought she would be the perfect guest!!\n\nHere are some questions I asked Chris that you will benefit from by listening to her answers:\n1.\tAfter you spent a gazillion dollars learning how to run a business, not getting to the next level, and feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and depleted, you said you realized that you were the common denominator in the equation. How did you realize what your limiting beliefs were that were living in your subconscious mind, and then how did you dig your way out of that situation?\n\n2.\tAfter plateauing for 4 years with your business, what was the single most important mindset or action you had to have or do to grow your business 10 times in 10 months?\n\nLook at “sales” from an empowered place and being of service. Not all people understand how to really view sales in this way.\n\n3.\tWhat was the “inner work” you had to do in order to take a stand for achieving your big dreams?\n\nPerseverance to do the work no matter what it takes. She used the crabs in a bucket analogy.\n\n4.\tWhat makes you say that “success is 90% mindset”? And what is the other 10%?\n\n5.\tHow do people know they have limiting beliefs that are holding them back, because I think sometimes people don’t even know they have these limiting beliefs that are holding them back?\n\nIt comes from looking at where you are at, and if you aren’t at the level you want to be at and you keep trying and come up against some kind of block or resistance, and you can’t figure out why what you are doing isn’t working, then there is something going on inside of you. What is the thinking and the story that is keeping me from reaching my next level and holding me back from ge

How Can an Accountability Coach Help Accelerate Your Results

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 29 Oct 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about Why You Might Want to Consider Hiring an Accountability Coach to help you Accelerate the Achievement of Your Goals.\n\nMany entrepreneurs have a difficult time managing their time efficiently, unknowingly sabotaging their own success. They often spend months, even years, struggling to discern between the low-priority and high-impact tasks, and where their efforts drive the biggest results. Unfortunately, this type of unawareness can lead to a failed business. How do you prevent self-sabotage of your business? Hire an accountability coach! Here are four reasons you should hire an accountability coach:\n\nAn Accountability Coach can help you…\n•\tUnderstand how your actions either lead you toward or away from your goal(s)\n•\tNip procrastination and other timewasters in the bud\n•\tBreak free of your limiting beliefs\n•\tAchieve success by refining how you approach personal and professional goals\n\nAn Accountability Coach can help create direction: An accountability coach understands how each of your actions (or lack of action) leads to your results. It’s fairly simple for someone to define their end goal (e.g. make $15,000 each month), but choosing which road to embark on to reach the goal is an entirely different endeavor. \n\nA quality accountability coach will provide you with the tools to understand the direction your actions will take you and teach you how to forecast the results, so you know which road to walk in the future. He or she will also teach you how to create the most efficient and effective direction to produce the biggest results. You can be sure that you will develop a clear mindset of what works and what doesn’t. \n\nAn Accountability Coach can help eliminate procrastination: Procrastination is the worst enemy of any business owner. Regardless of how many books, tapes, or tickets to seminars you purchase for achieving success, if you lack the discipline, you will not see results. Thankfully, an accountability coach will put an end to your procrastination by establishing clear accountability rules.\n\nAccountability coaching will help you by making you fully aware that you’re completely responsible for how you spend your time. Your success lies in your hands and your success is directly dependent upon the effort you’re willing to put in to realizing your goal. Your accountability coach will certainly put you to the test, asking you to honestly account for your time, actions, and results. \n\nAn Accou

Work by Appointment Only Increases Your Productivity

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 22 Oct 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about 3 Reasons Why Beck-and-Call is Not Better Business and working by appointment only increases your productivity and effectiveness.\n\nThere is a huge misconception that the best business is a business that is at the beck-and-call of its clients. The truth is that the best business is a business that effectively sets boundaries, and manages and exceeds client expectations in order to maintain a productive and effective flow.\n\nIf you are constantly juggling clients, answering the phone at all hours of the day, interrupting your personal time to fit in business, and feeling stressed, here are 3 Reasons Why Beck-and-Call is Not Better Business.\n\n1. It’s Impossible to Manage Client Expectations\nWithout structure and a solid foundation of rules and regulations, managing client expectations is impossible. They will expect the world, and will be sorely disappointed, when you do not deliver it. In other words, without boundaries, it’s quite possible they will expect everything.\n\nYou may find yourself, at one point or another, running yourself ragged juggling multiple clients, all of whom expect your undivided attention. When you find it impossible to meet the expectations of your clients, your business will suffer in more than one way. You’ll be exhausted and clients will be left dissatisfied. No one wins.\n\nClient expectations can only be effectively managed by outlining specific deliverables from the very beginning. If this isn’t possible (if the working relationship has already begun), then establish and communicate boundaries to clients as soon as you can.\n\nIf you can find a way to establish some ground rules (and stay firm to them), your clients will maintain healthy expectations and be satisfied (if not extremely happy) with the results. Establishing ground rules to manage client expectations is much like the tasks you schedule in your planner/calendar: Write it down and honor it.\n\n2. It’s Impossible to Effectively Manage Your Business\nImagine how effectively you can manage your business when you’re struggling to meet multiple demands of multiple clients? Instead of having time to focus on building your business, you’ll be struggling just to maintain it. That’s no way to run your business. It’s much like multi-tasking - it doesn’t work well.\n\nIf you’re consumed with meeting the high demands of unbridled client expectations, your business isn’t running with the greatest effectiveness or efficiency. You’re spending too m

6 Ideas to Get Even More Clients and Increase Revenue

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 15 Oct 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Most entrepreneurs experience a critical stage in their business where they need to consistently build their client base, yet they don’t have the time or resources to devote to serving more clients. So, how do you get more clients without working harder? \n\nLet’s talk about 6 tips to help you do this. \n\nIdea #1: Create Information Resources\nRegardless of your industry, your business has a powerful point of leverage that can be used to find and keep more clients: information. Create free and low-cost channels through which you can introduce yourself and your business - without significant time or effort investment on the backend. This is the “Create-It-And-Leave-It” method that creates not only more avenues for prospects to learn about you, but also expands your market reach and/or revenue.\n\n*The goal here is to create a hands-off/low-touch method to allow prospects the opportunity to Know-Like-Trust you. As we all know, this process takes time and effort. By providing these hands-off/low-touch resources, you will free up your time which will boost revenue because you’ll have more time to focus on the clients who are ready to work with you now!\n\nExamples: Downloadable Information Products (ebooks, special reports, etc.) - Blog - Free Articles – Free Podcasts – Free Videos – Free Information Calls or Webinars.\n\nIdea #2: Stand Out\nTo get the attention of ideal prospects, you must stand out from the crowd. Everyday information isn’t unique information. You have to show ideal prospects what makes you different from others in your industry. Be willing to share personal and professional experiences - and the lessons you’ve learned from those experiences. You have a unique perspective that separates you from the crowd. When you begin sharing what makes you different, it becomes easier for your ideal prospect to identify you from the rest of the crowd.\n\nExamples: Your unique experience is your Unique Selling Point (USP). You are your greatest USP. Even if you’re selling a corporate product or service, what makes it unique is what you bring to the table because no one else delivers that in the way that only you are able.\n\nLet me share a quick story with you. A real estate agent friend of mine had a client who wanted a specific house in a specific area of town. They agreed on a fair price for the house based on the comps for that house in that area and the agent went to the owners house with a bottle of champagne and said that he just sold his house

Robby Slaughter Interview–Workflow and Productivity Expert

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 08 Oct 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Robby Slaughter is a workflow and productivity expert, and you know how important I think having workflows and being productive are to the success of your business. His consulting practice assists a wide variety of organizations, including Fortune 500 companies, regional non-profits, small businesses and individual entrepreneurs to help increase productivity, simplify workflow and optimize business processes. He discovered that to become more effective and efficient at work, we need to empower individuals with authority and responsibility, and I couldn’t agree more.\n\nHere are some questions I asked Robby that you will benefit from by listening to his answers:\n1. What is the #1 reason people struggle with being productive at work?\n\nInability to understand the emotional impact of tasks and the people around those tasks.\n\nPlease elaborate on this for us.\n\n2. When asked, most business professionals tell me they waste about 2-3 hours a day. How can the average business professional become better at time management, so they aren’t wasting so much time each day?\n\nStep one is self-forgiveness. Accept that you’re going to have bad days, and forgive yourself. \nStep two is to identify and manage the distractions and interruptions that impact you. Turn off email notifications. Set your phone to do-not-disturb for 30-minute stretches. Ignore social media. Ask people who call you if they can send you an email instead.\n\nAnne: To download my complimentary Time Log Exercise and help you and your team members be even more time efficient, so you are in a higher probability position to achieve your goals, go to: https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/time-log/. Simple instructions come with the sample document to help you know how to complete the time log.\n\n3. What do you recommend people to help them reduce interruptions and distractions that plague most offices?\n\nGet out of the office. Go to a conference room or a coffee shop. Work from an empty cubicle for a while. Close your door if you have one, or wear big headphones (even if they aren’t playing any music.) Put up a sign to let people know you are focusing for blocks of time, and put that on your calendar as well.\n\nAnne: To claim your free audio training, Focus on Your High Pay-off Activities and Achieve Your Goals Using Effective Time Management, go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/landing/. \n\n4.

Delegate More and Accelerate Your Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 01 Oct 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about Delegating Even More and Accelerate Your Business Success. \n\nDelegation for business owners is a must-do for success! When you can hand over your administrative tasks and projects off to an able assistant or employee, you can focus on more important tasks that only you can do to grow your business and increase revenue. The art of delegation is an essential part of establishing a growing business. \n\nWhy Delegate? \n\nThere will come a time in your business (for most business owners, this comes sooner rather than later) when you feel overwhelmed. You may find that you have too many tasks to accomplish without enough time to get them done. It is when you come to the realization that delegating the small or low-priority tasks to an assistant would make your life a whole lot easier, that it is time to do it. \n\nDelegation allows you to eliminate the low-priority tasks so you can free up time to focus on the high-payoff producing tasks. Clearly, this can allow you to focus on increasing your revenue, and it can also free up time to center your energy towards expanding your business. When your business continues to grow, eventually reaching another plateau, you may find it necessary to hire more assistants or outsource more tasks and activities. \n\nCommon Tasks to Delegate include activities such as:\n•\tAnswering Phones/Returning phone calls\n•\tSending/returning emails\n•\tPerforming research\n•\tBookkeeping\n•\tScheduling appointments\n•\tWebsite design and maintenance\n•\tMany aspects of marketing\n•\tWriting articles and blogs, etc.\n\nGenerally speaking, administrative tasks should always be delegated to an assistant. While answering the phone and responding to emails is important, your focus should be on the tasks that directly increase the growth of your business. For instance, your energy should be focused on conducting seminars, creating new products or services, networking, meeting clients and prospects in person, talking to strategic alliances or centers of influence, expanding into new markets, etc.\n\nThe common tasks that I mentioned earlier should not require your attention. Hire an employee or virtual assistant to take full responsibility for their maintenance. These sample tasks are simple tasks that almost anyone can do, but other tasks that require a specific skill set should also be delegated to experienced professionals. \n\nYou may have a background in web design, and be capable of completing the

10 Principles to Reduce Distractions and Accelerate Results

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 17 Sep 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Through my 24+ years of coaching people, I have found that we're all guilty of allowing the little things to distract us from what we should be doing. This happens to all of us to some degree or another. Instead of working, we chat with our friends or co-workers, check the latest chain email in our inbox, surf the internet, and do everything we can to avoid working. Why? Because we don't feel like working - we're too busy daydreaming about being on the beach in Hawaii sipping a MaiTai or skiing the slopes. I'd like that too, but the fact is that in order to get where you want to be, you have to do the work required to achieve your goals and experience ultimate success.\n\nWhether you are an employee or self-employed, your income depends solely on you. And the more efficiently you can work the bigger returns you will receive. Take a moment and ask yourself where you truly want to be? Now tell me how many things you did today, yesterday, and the day before yesterday that directly contributed to the future results you want. And then tell me how many things you did today that did not contribute to your success. Those things probably distracted you from what you knew you should have been doing.\n\nSo, you might be saying, ah - it's OK, everyone does it and shrug it off. Well, not everyone does it - however, most do. So, what's the harm in the little everyday distractions? Those distractions are called distractions for a reason. They are distracting you from doing what you need to do in order to get you where you ultimately want to be.\n\nMinimize distractions and you'll reach your goals faster - plain and simple. If you're self-employed and want to increase your monthly income by $3,000, that won't happen by surfing the internet or playing solitaire. It's going to come from doing the highest payoff activities that have the highest probability of building your success. You must minimize distractions and focus on the tasks that have a positive effect on your success.\n\nWhether you are an employee, self-employed, or work at home, all of these ten principles can be applied to reduce and eliminate distractions.\n\nApply these ten principles we will now be discussing to help you reduce or eliminate distractions from your life.\n\n1. Use and honor your calendar and task list. Honoring your calendar will help you stay focus on the ‘right’ activities and eliminate distractions. Remember; concentrate on doing the things that have the highest prob

8 Ideas for Getting Even More Done and Accelerate Results

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about 8 Ideas for Getting Even More Done and Accelerate Your Results.\n\nWe all want more success and the fear of failure can often be the driving force of our actions. We work long hours, sacrifice personal time, and even sleep. We put our heart and soul into what we're trying to achieve, only to find that we're spinning our wheels. We think we're getting things done, because at the end of the day all of our Action List items are crossed out; but did we really get closer to achieving our goals? The fact is, most of us accomplish a whole list of things by the end of the day, but have little to show for it. Your success depends on what you are doing and the way you are getting things done. If you're not moving closer to your goal achievement, you are not getting things done the right way.\n\nThe good news is - getting things done the right way requires only a simple shift in your actions. There are only two ways of getting things done; one way leads to your success, while the other keeps you in the same position you're in right now. There is no in between. Getting things done right comes down to taking actions that support your forward progress and success. If you feel like you've been spinning your wheels, you probably have been. You might be getting things done, but your actions have been sabotaging your success. You end up working twice as hard, only to stay in the same place.\n\nGetting things done the right way, can take you from spinning your wheels to; creating more time, expending less effort, reducing frustration and moving you closer to your goals with every single action. This is possible because success relies on one principle: success takes successful actions. Let’s explore 8 ideas for getting things done the right way. \n\n1. Organize Your Time for Optimal Performance\nSuccess takes successful time management. Whether you're a corporate executive or an entrepreneur, you must optimize your performance. The universe will only deliver what you can handle, so if you want more, you have to do more without adding more hours to your day. \n\t\nAscertain what you need to Do, Delegate, and Delay. Since you can't manifest any more hours in a day, focus on your highest pay-off activities. In other words, do just those things that will lead to the highest probability of achieving your goals in the quickest timeframe possible. Put these things in priority order and then in your calendar. You will quickly realize you

Apply Effective Management Principles and Increase Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 03 Sep 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about ideas to apply effective time management principles to help you be even more success.\n\nOne of the success principles of any successful person is effective time management. In order to create your ideal life and business, you must learn to schedule EVERYTHING (even showers initially, eating, drive time, working out, family time, etc.) and be extremely effective at time management. If you are like me, you think you can get done more than you actually can, so you run out of time to get everything done you put on your list. For me, this isn’t a good feeling, especially if it were to happen day after day. \n\nWhen you begin to calendar your activities, take a look at everything you have to do and how long you think it will take to get each one done and then add “cushion” time to each activity. I haven’t been able to come up with a rule of them for how much extra time should be given to each activity. It is dependent on you and the activity. You may have to explore in the beginning to figure out what works best for you based on how well you estimated the initial time for each activity. \n\nIf you actually do finish the activity before the time you allotted, you have the gift of time to move on to the next activity. Put everything on your calendar. In time, you will become better at how much time you actually need for each activity. \n\nYou want to also make sure to include buffer time for something that has a deadline. Say you have to submit a proposal to a prospective client by a certain date. In order to have it done, you determine approximately how much time you think it will take to create the proposal and then add a bit of time to that total. You then give yourself a deadline for completion that is 2 or 3 days before the actual ‘drop dead’ deadline. \n\nThis means that if you have issues and unforeseen things that occur, you still will complete it by the actual deadline date. This works well when you have to rely on others to help you get something done. If you get it done early, all the better for you and what impression it will make with the prospective client.\n\nYou may have to go through trial and error on a schedule until you find optimal results. Some people are early birds and will tackle certain tasks first thing, while others will find they are more effective in the afternoon. Just be sure to schedule tasks when they can be achieved with the greatest efficiency and outcome.\n\nCalendaring your activities wi

Interview with Tameika Isaac Devine - Work Life Integration

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 27 Aug 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "As a busy working mom and wife, Tameika Isaac Devine understands the challenges that can come with trying to excel both at home and at work. Tameika’s personal passion is in helping working moms conquer overwhelm in order to perform their best at work and at home. She is an advocate for women in leadership and speaks on work-life balance and integration, leadership and networking, along with politics and community engagement. Additionally, she has authored multiple books including, “Think Like A CEO, Act Like A Mom: The Pursuit of Work Life Integration” where she shares the perfect blend of sage advice and personal anecdotes to explain how working moms can truly have it all. Tameika is an elected official, attorney, and a leading expert and speaker on work-life integration for busy working moms and whose insights have been featured in CNN, MSNBC, Forbes, Jet Magazine, and more.\n\nHere are some questions I asked Tameika that you will benefit from by listening to her answers:\n• Describe your definition of work life integration?\n\n• Why is work life balance so important to each one of us? \n BENEFITS to us in our personal and business life?\n\n• Is Work Life balance achievable and if so, how do we achieve it?\n\n• How do you balance work and life responsibilities?\n\n• Why is it so hard for business owners to achieve that work life integration?\n\n• What are some of your favorite tips and strategies for achieving work life integration?\n\n• What would you say is the most important concept for people to understand and implement that you wrote about in your book, “Think Like A CEO, Act Like A Mom: The Pursuit of Work Life Integration”?\n\nTameika offered a free consultation with her by going to www.adevinelife.com. \n\nSubscribe to my podcast to get notified every time a new episode is available. \n\nDefine Core Values to Align Successful Behavior and Goals Free Exercise\nIn order to successfully apply the principles and systems to help you experience even greater success, it is vital that you first identify your values, so you can then create behaviors that support your values. When there is conflict or a discrepancy between your values and behavior or goals, success is impossible. Your values are basically the “why” behind your goals.\n\nValues, Goals, and Behaviors must all be focused in the same direction for successful goal achievement, and when any one of them is out of alignment with the other, you will find yourself spinning your wheels.

4 Benefits of Embracing Change to Increase Business Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 20 Aug 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about 4 Benefits of Embracing Change to Increase Business Success. \n\nYou don’t need anyone to tell you that the world is undergoing many changes right now, that’s pretty obvious. What may not be so obvious is your ability to adapt to the changes that are necessary for your business to survive and thrive in the changing market. How do you set yourself up for success when global changes are affecting the future of your business? You find out where the change is headed and adapt to meet the demand.\n\nHypothetically, you could resist changes in the market and stand stubbornly in your comfort zone. The major drawback to that would be that you would probably be sinking in quicksand – and taking your business with you.\n\nEmbracing change is important for everyone to embrace. The ability to adapt to change, and even welcome it, is absolutely essential to the success of your business and life. What happens when you fight change? That’s pretty simple; instead of embracing change and adapting to it, you spent hours of energy fighting it – only to have to surrender to it in the end. The fight didn’t make it any easier, nor did it prevent the change from occurring. So why waste all the time and emotional energy to fight something that is inevitable?\n\nLet’s take a look at 4 things that can happen when you embrace change.\n\n1. You may uncover a problem you didn’t know existed\nIt’s easy to become complacent when things seem to be going well, and put the blinders on when everything around you is stuck in a rut. When you deal with the same pattern, over and over again, you lose perspective of what is working and what isn’t working. Continually having a healthy perspective and a finger on the pulse of your business is very valuable and important. \n\nAs an entrepreneur, it is essential that you are running your business with the greatest efficiency and profit. If you don’t know what your big money maker is or if you’re marketing plan doesn’t have a successful ROI, you’ve got a problem. Research what drives other successful businesses and accomplishes the goals you have in sight. Identify what works and then copy that model to your own business. Change and improve what isn’t working and you’ll be setting your business up for success. In addition, take a forward-thinking approach to your industry to anticipate changes that can affect you, and be willing to change or adjust quickly if needed. \n\n2. The easy part is integration and

5 Benefits of Taking Action to Increase Business Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "New business owners are especially prone to delay taking action in their business, because the unknown outcome can be pretty intimidating. However, even seasoned entrepreneurs will put off taking action, simply due to the fact they lack the free time to juggle another endeavor. \n\nSo, what to do when you know that taking action would benefit your business, but you can’t seem to implement much needed change? Ask yourself these questions:\n\n1.\tDo I want to increase my income (grow my business)?\n2.\tDo I want to grow my client base?\n3.\tDo I want to create more free time?\n\nIf you answered yes to at least one of these 3 questions, then taking action now is the best thing you can do for you – and your business. Just for a moment, let’s go back to the reason(s) you became an entrepreneur? Although there may be many reasons, they are all probably related to the following benefits:\n\n•\tMore free time\n•\tWork from home\n•\tThe freedom to make money doing what you enjoy\n•\tIndependence, flexibility, and freedom with schedule\n•\tUnlimited earning potential\n•\tDidn’t want to work for anyone\n\nSound familiar? \n\nMy husband, Bill Bachrach, has a quote that applies to what we are talking about today. He says, “If comfort is your goal, success in NOT in your future.” \n\nEntrepreneurs have many reasons for going into business for themselves, but most reasons are directly related to flexibility, freedom, and income. The key in creating a business that remains flexible, provides freedom, and constantly grows (increasing income) is change. Taking action allows your business to grow with the changing demand and market. Every time you delay taking action, regardless of the reason, you are stalling your business and your success.\n\nLet’s take a look at 5 benefits of taking action – now.\n\n1. Increase Revenue\nThis should always be the first priority with your business, because when you increase sales, you increase income – and that creates more leverage. The more leverage you have, the easier it is to create a business that fits your lifestyle. Taking action is vital to increasing sales, so do not delay, do not wait – take action now. Whatever ideas you have to increase revenue, implement that new service or product, and get the word out.\n\n2. Attract New Clients\nWhen you create or enhance new products and/or services, you have the opportunity to attract new clients. It’s important to add or enhance at least one product or service each year to ke

8 Tips to Help you Maintain Persistence and Increase Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 06 Aug 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about 8 Tips to Help you Maintain Persistence and Increase Business Success.\n\nPersistence is the ability to continue to get up no matter how many times you’ve been knocked down. It requires will power, flexibility, strength of character, determination, and a desire to succeed at all costs. \n\nMost people believe Richard Wagner became a great composer because he was gifted. Not so.\n\nFrom a young age, Wagner liked the theater and music, but he disliked being on stage and was a slow learner at the piano. But his lack of talent was overcome by great persistence.\n\nAt the age of 15, Richard Wagner decided he wanted to be a composer, so he checked a book out of the library on the subject and memorized it.\n\nTo train his ear, he asked a violinist from the Leipzig Orchestra to teach him about keys and chords and learnt the technique of every orchestral instrument except the harp.\n\nAs well, he studied the works of Beethoven to understand how to capture sounds and interpret them as sheet music.\n\nBut Wagner’s early works were so bad he was jeered offstage. After one of his first performances, he was forced to escape by the rear doors to avoid an enraged audience.\n\nIn his persistence to hone his musicianship, he studied the works of Mozart and Bach line by line until he could construct a lyrical phrase.\n\nOver the next 5 years, Wagner continued to re-learn the basics, appearing as often as he could to showcase the music he’d written. Following literally hundreds of performances where he was jeered and heckled off stage, he gradually began to appreciate what sounds his audiences liked to hear and write his music accordingly.\n\nIf Wagner had not been determined to create music his audiences could appreciate, we would never have known some of the great masterpieces, such as “Flight of the Valkyries”.\n\nIf there was one common denominator that could be applied to successful people, it would be persistence. \n\nThe brilliant minds, the great achievers, the magnetic leaders of our generation and throughout history did not achieve their success at the start of their journey – they achieved it when their vision became reality.\n\nPersistence is about having a vision and working towards that goal. \n\nHowever, if you study the path most visionaries have taken to achieve their goals, you’ll discover that persistence lies in holding on to the vision, not on the path they chose to achieve their vision.\n\nPersistence without purpose is useless

7 Steps to Effective Communication that Produces Results

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Communication is everything in business and in all of our relationships. Honestly, how else would people communicate? In order to enjoy an agreeable business and personal discussion, the communication level has to be excellent. How does one communicate effectively? Simply put, say what you mean, say it clearly, and say it with respect. Let’s explore 7 steps to effective communication that produces results.\n\nStep 1: Establish Trust\nSome people naturally distrust other people, because they do not know what the other one is thinking. Therefore, the sooner that you come out and say what you want, the sooner you can begin establishing trust. If you sense that someone is especially apprehensive, then you could go try and reassure him or her that you are not a threat. As you can guess, this doesn’t always work, so don’t waste time trying to change someone’s mind. Instead, continue being cordial and ethical and hope that your professionalism and consistency eventually wins them over – assuming you want to win them over. There are some people you may not want as clients or even associates. Trust is the single most important thing that has to happen for two people to do business together. The only proven trust building system for building high-trust client relationships on purpose that I know of was created by my husband, Bill Bachrach, and is for Financial Advisors (Values-Based Financial Planning and Values-Based Selling).\n\nStep 2: Speak Clearly and Concisely \nSpeaking clearly can sometimes be a problem since not everyone actually takes the time to improve in diction or word usage. For the best results, try practicing speaking in front of a mirror and recording yourself for playback. The last prerequisite is respect. Never disrespect someone that you just met. First impressions never really go away, so make an effort to present yourself as a confident and respectful business associate. If all you have to say is, “Blah,” don’t say “Blah, Blah.” \n\nStep 3: Recognize Problems in Communication\nWhat are some of the most common barriers in effective communication? For starters, there is language, or word usage. One cannot always assume that what sounds benevolent to you would strike others the same way. People can easily misinterpret or even distort a statement’s original meaning. It is wise to avoid saying anything questionable that might confuse a listener, or inadvertently provoke a negative reaction. Sarcasm and humor can also be diffic

How the Choices We Make Impact Our Life and Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about How the Choices We Make Impact Our Life and Business Success.\n\nYou may have heard it said that it is the little things in life that are worth living for. Similarly, the little things in life are what change our lives for the better or worse. The choices we make in life define who we are and what we will eventually become. Certainly, making some rash decisions when we are young can have very ill consequences when we grow older. It is important that people maintain their health with a view to tomorrow, while balancing their desires for the present day. However, this advice also applies to a person’s heart and mind. When we take chances because of our passions or we take action because of our mind’s ambition, we have to live with the result of our actions—good and bad. \n\nKnowing this should impress upon us the importance of making somewhat informed decisions. Strong emotion should always be taken into account when making choices, but it cannot totally overpower logic and reason. There is something to be said about going with your “gut.” Sometimes we just don’t know enough to make a totally informed decision so going with your “gut” might play a role in your choice. If going with your “gut” never seems to get you the results you want, you may have to reconsider this strategy. Having a fine balance of both qualities is the best way to make careful decisions in life that you can live with now and tomorrow. That said no one is expected to make perfect decisions. They say hindsight is always 20/20 because sometimes we see things in retrospect that we were never capable of seeing years ago. Perhaps we have grown in our perspectives and our understandings of other people. More importantly, we have come to know ourselves.\n\nIn order to be happy in life people must learn to act wisely and to forgive the past. You should educate yourself to make prosperous decisions and to minimize unnecessary grief. Furthermore, learn to put the past behind you, forgiving yourself for mistakes, indiscretions and even for the conduct of others. This sounds simple enough but can be a real challenge for some people who have high standards or who have been hurt by others. Some people never let go of the past and choose to be bitter for the rest of their life. They may wonder “Why me?” or have a self-pitying attitude that says they could have been happy or successful “if…”\n\nThe truth of the matter is that a happy life is all about choi

Are Your Limiting Beliefs Stopping You from Achieving Goals?

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "To give you some insight about what this special guidebook, Are Your Limiting Beliefs Stopping You From Achieving Your Goals?, is about and why you want to read it.…I believe that, inherently speaking, there is nothing that you are not capable of accomplishing. The truth is there is no such thing as can't - you only think you can't. Success is not a special privilege handed out to a selected few; success comes to applying success-oriented beliefs. Transform limiting beliefs into success beliefs and you can achieve anything.\n\nSometimes people don't realize their limiting beliefs have created an obstacle that is stopping them from achieving their goals.\n\nFor example, let me tell you a quick story. \nDuring one of my coaching sessions with a client, I asked him about his success with obtaining referrals (which is a key to any business). He told me that he typically will receive two referrals per client. When I asked him why he thought he didn't receive more, he replied, I just can’t imagine obtaining more than two referrals per client because that is what I typically receive. Then I asked him if he expected and believed he would receive more than two referrals (something like 5, 8, 12 or 25), did he think he might actually receive more referrals? He hesitated for a minute and in an \"a-ha\" moment, said yes. He realized at that moment his limiting belief was holding him back from something more. As soon as he changed his limiting belief, he began experiencing a higher number of referrals from his clients. How are limiting beliefs affecting your success?\n\nWhen you let go of limiting beliefs, you gain the power to not only get around obstacles, but prevent your mind from creating them in the future. In this complimentary Special Guidebook, we explore 7 Success-Oriented Beliefs that will help you realize that you can do anything and any obstacles you face are only imaginary blocks created by your limiting beliefs.\n\nApply these 7 success-oriented beliefs to create a success driven business and life.\n\nDownload this complimentary guidebook, Are Limiting Beliefs Stopping You from Achieving Your Goals today and crush any limiting beliefs you have or don’t know you have.

What is Procrastination Costing You in Your Business?

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 16 Jul 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "William James says, “Nothing is as fatiguing as the continued hanging on of an uncompleted task.”\n\nPoor follow through – consciously deciding to do something, but then not doing it for whatever reason – is a fact of life for many of us. Most people find that the gap between their intentions and their actions is too vast, and fall short of doing what is required to achieve their goals. \n\nThink about the promises you’ve made to yourself in the past. Of all the promises and commitments you have made to yourself, how many have you kept?\n\nPoor follow through is a fixture of modern life. Incredibly, most of us continue to believe that we will follow through “next time” rather than taking action to make our current goal a reality. \n\nThis phenomenon takes a toll on virtually every aspect of our life. Our lack of ability to commit to taking action prevents us from achieving personal, financial, relationship, and career goals that would otherwise be well within our reach.\n\nHave you ever considered the cost of poor follow through in your life? Think about a goal that you have failed to meet in the past. Was your failure to follow through a by-product of the fact that you were really okay with the way things were to begin with? Or does the poor follow through bother you? Does the knowledge that you didn’t follow through with your goals eat you up inside because you know you aren’t doing what you need to do to get the result you say you want?\n\nAs long as we continue to expect our “good” intentions to work the way they should instead of facing reality about the probability of following through, we’ll just keep repeating the same mistakes. \n\nWhen we rationalize with ourselves to avoid completing necessary tasks we are only holding ourselves back from getting what we desire. This is why the best performers and athletes have coaches. We are human. It’s okay.

The only possible way to prepare for an event of this caliber in such a short time frame was to create a plan and stick with it, which Bill did.\n\nWell, at least for the most part.

4 Practical Steps to Conquer Fears and Increase Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 09 Jul 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "We’ve all been afraid to try something new at one time or another. Why is that? And it seems as we age, our fear controls more and more of our willingness to try something new. We prefer to forego a new experience because we want to avoid whatever bad thing we think could happen. Or maybe the anxiety is just too stressful for us to even contemplate facing our fears. Whatever the reason, we justify that trying something new is not worth the risk.\n\nMost of us learn to live within our comfort zone by default because we base our daily decisions on whether or not they cause feelings of anxiety. Every action we decide to take is based on whether it lands inside or outside our comfort zone. \n\nAs humans, most of us have the tendency to remain within the boundaries of our comfort zone, to avoid situations that cause feelings of anxiety and fear. And although it may feel like we are in control, we are actually out of control. When we live our life inside our comfort zone, we allow our fears to control our daily life. \n\nWhen we remain inside the boundaries of our comfort zone, we essentially stop growing and stop learning. Sure, you can choose to live the rest of your life in your comfort zone, but if you are unhappy with any aspect of your life, know that it will not change until you step outside your comfort zone. \n\nYour comfort zone is nothing more than an imaginary “safe zone.” This “safe zone” is nothing more than an imaginary area in which the mind has predetermined strategies to deal with circumstances that occur within those boundaries. In other words, your mind craves a controlled environment where it has a pre-determined set of actions to deal with a certain set of situations. \n\nWhen it has past experiences to refer to, it can recall the details of a past success and apply the success strategies to a present experience. This set of past successes is what creates a “safe zone.” The mind knows exactly what to do when faced with those situations without anxiety or fear. However, step outside your comfort zone and the mind suddenly has no past experience to calculate a strategy from - this is what causes feelings of anxiety and fear.\n\nFeelings of anxiety are often assumed as a “bad” sign, but that is not necessarily true. Obviously if you are faced with a life-threatening situation, then feelings of anxiety would be rational; but when faced with a non-life-threatening situation - exaggerated anxiety is not a rational response. \n

Optimize Effectiveness and Efficiency and Accelerate Results

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 02 Jul 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Ask any successful business owner and they will tell you one of the number one rules to optimizing the success of a business starts with producing effective results with the greatest efficiency. This may not seem like a concern if you don’t own your own business, but even as an employee, or business professional, your success is riding on your ability to perform with the greatest effectiveness and efficiency.\n\nWhether you are an employee or business owner, it is your goal to be as effective as you can with the greatest efficiency. If you are an employee, the more effective and efficient you are, the greater asset you present to your employer. As a business owner, the more you can optimize these two factors, the greater return on investment you will realize in your business.\n\nSo, how do you improve your career or business by improving effectiveness and efficiency? Let's begin by reviewing the difference between the two terms: \n\nEffective - Producing a decided, decisive or desired effect. Effective emphasizes the actual production of or the power to produce an effect or result.\n\nEfficient - Acting or a potential for action or use in such a way as to avoid loss or waste of energy in effecting, producing or functioning.\n\nEffectiveness is the building block, while efficiency is the process of refinement. The better you become at effecting positive results with the greatest efficiency of effort, the bigger asset you become - and so does your business. \n\nOptimizing effectiveness and efficiency doesn’t have any relation to IQ or intelligence levels, it‘s really an awareness of your habits. It’s a delicate balance between effecting positive results with the least amount of energy expenditure. This essentially means that you expend the least amount of energy with the largest return - while effectively creating the desired result. \n\nTake Henry Ford for example, here is a man that was not well educated, but knew that in order to build a successful business he needed to be effective and efficient. Granted, Ford had other skills that contributed to his success, but he was obsessed with optimizing the effectiveness and efficiency of his assembly line in the interest of the success of his company. This obsession led to constant production procedure refinements that were unheard of at the time. \n\nFord understood that quality effectiveness and high efficiency were vital to building the best car with the least amount of wasted energy.

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 25 Jun 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Sure, many entrepreneurs say they are committed to their success, but are they really?\n\nWhen it comes to commitment to your success, there has to be a “no excuses - no exception” rule to back it up. This rule is especially true for entrepreneurs, simply because there is no one to point the finger at should things not work out as planned. As an entrepreneur, you are the one holding the key to your success and no one, but you, can be held accountable.\n\nOnce you make a commitment to something, there absolutely has to be a “no excuses - no exception” rule, because that is the only rule that separates the failures from the successes. \nImagine what would happen if you were to commit to your success only 99% of the time:\n\n- 1% percent of your clients would be unhappy with your product or service and proceed to tell 10 of their friends. Those people would proceed to tell their friends they had a friend that had a bad experience. This could translate into dozens of lost clients and thousands in lost revenue.\n\n- 1% of your printed marketing materials (or online marketing material) were published with spelling and grammar errors. This has a devastating effect on any business with a poor perception from the public and potential clients.\n\n- 1% of the time you don’t answer your email from a prospective client within 24 hours. You respond a few days later, but learn they have taken their business to someone who responded promptly.\n\nSee how much of a difference there is between 99% and 100% commitment? Although 1% doesn’t sound like much, reaching 100% commitment at every opportunity is not always easy. The only way to truly hold a reputation for commitment is by consistently demonstrating 100% to each and every task. Once genuine commitment is displayed, your success is inevitable.\n\nThere are two rules when it comes to your success, and a sure-fire way to catapult your success, but they only work when you are 100% committed!\n\nRule #1: 100% Commitment to Achieving your Goals \nThere may be many opportunities for excuses and exceptions, but under no circumstance do you waver from what you truly desire. Ever.\n\nWhat do you do if your life doesn’t support your goal achievement? In all honesty, there’s no easy way around it - some changes will have to be made. Sometimes those changes are easy, and other times they’re not, especially when there are others to consider. This is no more true when you have a spouse/significant other and/or childre

Honor Your Core Values and Increase Business Success

Anne Bachrach — Sat, 20 Jun 2020 11:44:04 -0700

[[:encoded, "If you’re working too hard and still not generating the revenue you desire, you may not be honoring your core values. These core values, when sacrificed, create disharmony, frustration, and struggle in your life and business. Honor your core values and you create flow, ease and success. Know your core values and adjust your business model accordingly. The key here is to learn from other successful business people, but put your own spin on it. When you honor your core values you’ll find a magic formula that allows you to work the way it works for you. In turn, your clients will be even better served. \n\nGo to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/values-clarification/ and download a complimentary values clarification exercise to help you get clear on exactly what your values really are. \n\nExample: Let’s say freedom is one of your core values, yet you’re tied to a desk.

It’s easy to see how ignoring the values most important to you can be the source of frustration or struggle.\n\nIf you are getting value from any of Podcasts, please take a minute to leave me a short rating and review.

5 Tips for Mastering Your Beliefs to Increase Your Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 18 Jun 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "If there is one thing that holds the most power over your success, you can bet that it comes down to your beliefs. Before you even have the opportunity to consciously process the reason behind your actions, and the results those actions put in play, your beliefs are at work determining whether you are headed toward success or disaster.\n\nThere are literally tens of thousands of actions you take daily (some consciously, most unconsciously), but do you know how those actions are affecting your success? You can probably think of at least one action that you have taken in the past that didn’t necessarily deliver the results you desired. With conscious awareness, you have the ability to examine and identify what went wrong, and what you could change to bring about a different result next time. This is an example of conscious awareness. \n\nBut what about all those times you make unconscious decisions that bring about undesired results. How do you stop them from occurring? Let’s explore 6 tips for helping you master your beliefs and head for success.\n\nTip #1\nYou are only as successful as your beliefs\nAre your beliefs supporting your success? The most definitive way to know whether your beliefs are leading to success or disaster is to examine what you say to yourself. Do you typically think to yourself that you will be successful or that there’s no use in trying, because it will never work. The nature of your belief system – positive or negative – will be the single greatest determining factor in your success, so you had better start thinking success. \n\nWhen the negative talk starts swirling in your head, just cancel it out – sweep it out – delete it. Focus on the positive (and what you really want) and remember that your success is completely dependent upon you and you alone. Although you can allow talk from those around you to negatively affect your progress, no one can prevent you from achieving your goals. The determining factor is always and only your ability to hold true to your belief in yourself. \n\nThere is always a way, so take a “no-excuses” approach to achieving your goals and you will achieve them. The way isn’t necessarily apparent, and if you feel like you’ve hit a roadblock - get creative. You’d be surprised how you can come up with some creative and effective solutions when you think outside the box. The idea is to maintain an element of creativity when coming up with solutions, so you are constantly expanding your belie

6 Tips for Gaining Even More Confidence and Increase Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 11 Jun 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Becoming an entrepreneur can be one of the most unnerving ventures in your entire life. Just when you thought you knew it all, you find out you’re just a student trying to make the grade. So, what do you do when your confidence takes a hit? Follow these 6 tips we will be exploring for gaining even more confidence.\n\n1. Start with what you know\nIf you’re a new business owner, start with what you know. If you know your stuff, in and out, you’re bound to make a lasting impression with your clients and prospects. Create a specific outline to the benefits of your services or products, and then be sure to deliver what you’ve promised. Don’t worry about being the expert, just start with what you know because that’s where your greatest confidence lies.\n\n2. Have an insatiable thirst for knowledge\nYour business will not survive unless you continually learn, nor will your confidence grow. When you don’t learn new things, you cannot offer expanded products or service, and that is a death sentence to your business. The market and demand are constantly changing and if you don’t change with it, you’ll be left behind. The more you know the more benefits you can deliver to your clients. Keep learning and you’ll keep gaining confidence.\n\n3. Know your target audience\nMost entrepreneurs think they know what their clients need and want, but rarely do they truly understand how to market and deliver the right products and services to the right people. Invest in research so you have a full snapshot of your market. Without it, you can only hope for successful sales and business growth. Survey your clients and prospects to learn more about them. The more you know about them, the easier it will be to create products and services that deliver exactly what they’re looking for. Some resources for web surveys are surveymonkey.com, zoomerang.com, zohosurvey.com, surveygizmo.com, etc. Check out all the options and use the best one for your survey. \n\n4. Try something new every day\nWe all get used to routines, because we like to stay within our comfort zone. However, it’s staying within that comfort zone that keeps us from gaining confidence. Knowing what you know now will only get you so far – and I regret to point out, that is not very far. As an entrepreneur, you must constantly push yourself outside your comfort zone to learn and do more. This not only benefits you, but it also benefits your clients, which will only grow your business.\n\n“If comfort is yo

10 Tips to Help You Break Bad Habits

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Samuel Johnson said: The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken. \n\nBad habits can be difficult to break. Bad habits are a repetitive form of behavior that becomes so enmeshed in your psyche, they quickly become instinctual and involuntary.\n\nEach year people spend thousands of hours and dollars attempting to break free of a pattern of bad behavior, but the majority fails.\n\nWhy?\n\nBecause there is no magical solution. Breaking a bad habit typically requires hard work and there are no shortcuts.\n\nTo effectively change a bad habit, you need to firstly recognize that the habit exists, and then make a conscious decision to overcome it.\n\nPain vs Gain\nThe most critical exercise in beginning the process of breaking a bad habit is looking at what is the payoff and what is the cost?\n\nLet’s look at alcohol abuse: ask yourself “what do I gain by having 5 or 6 drinks every night when I get home from work?” Of course, the answer is easy.\n\nFor you it might be, “A drink or two relaxes me”, “I have time to think about the day’s events”, or “I can forget about the stresses of the day”. \n\nThen you must honestly answer the question: “But what is it costing me?”\n\nThe answer may be less time with your spouse and family, a monumental hangover in the morning, alcohol may make you cranky and moody, or in a worse-case scenario, you may become abusive and hostile. What is it doing to our organs and you physically that you won’t realize until years later? \n\nOnce you’ve assessed the positive and negative impact the bad habit plays in your life, it’s time to begin an action plan to break the habit.\n\nHere is a Suggested Action Plan for You to Consider\n\n1.\tAffirm Your Conviction\nIf you don’t consider the price you pay for repeating the bad habit worthwhile, then it’s likely you won’t break the habit.\n\nBe honest with yourself and take into account not only how the habit impacts on your life, but also how it impacts those around you.\n\nMake a decisive choice to become a better human being by breaking the repetitive behavior.\n\n2.\tFocus on the Benefits\nMake a list of all the positive changes that will occur once you have broken the bad habit. Include the improved health factors, the opportunity to improve your personal relationships, or the emotional benefits.\n\nRefer to this list every time you believe your resolve is under threat.\n\n3.\tTake Action\nThe time to start your new behavioral pattern is NOW.

Persistence: The Commonality of Successful Business People

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 28 May 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Look upon history, and you’ll find that the notable quality that exists in all champions is persistence.\n\nThe path you walk will not always be easy, but you have to continue to persist. Even in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds, you must keep putting one foot in front of the other, because there are lessons to be learned along the way, all of which will support your success.\n\nWhenever you confront an obstacle or roadblock, step back and emotionally detach yourself from the situation. It’s much easier to think of ways to go around, under or over the obstacle when you let go of the frustration. This may take some practice, but try this exercise: imagine a friend is the one facing the challenge(s), and you are simply providing ideas how to help them overcome the obstacle. When you are solution-oriented, you focus on the possibilities, not the impossibilities.\n\nIn truth, nothing is impossible, and change is inevitable. Knowing this, you can take persistent steps in faith, with the wisdom that nothing stays the same, and at some time in the future your current obstacles will dissolve.\n\nHere are some quick facts about persistence.\n\n It took approximately 10,000 experiments before Thomas Edison successfully invented the light bulb. What does he have to say about persistence? “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”\n\n Long before becoming the lead singer of REO Speedwagon, Kevin Cronin, was determined to make it big. At a young age, he went to go see an influential music producer, only to get turned away. Kevin was so confident in his talent that he didn’t let that producer’s rejection get to him for one second. In fact, he was convinced that the producer’s tape player must not have been working properly, because if it had, the producer would have recognized Kevin’s talents immediately. He kept pursuing his passion and eventually landed with REO Speedwagon, bringing the band into the mainstream music scene. Over the years, they’ve sold more than 40 million records and charted 13 Top 40 hits.\n\n When 19-year-old Rick Little wanted to start a program in high schools that would teach kids how to deal with their feelings, handle conflict, clarify life goals, and communicate effectively, he was turned down by more than 155 organizations. Finally, the Kellogg Foundation gave him $130,000, but that wasn’t enough. He was persistent and eventually received $65,000,00

The Top 4 Effective Actions of Successful Entrepreneurs

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 21 May 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "As a business owner, it’s imperative you focus your energy on completing actions that drive your success. When you spend your workday procrastinating or refusing to delegate low-priority tasks, you are losing money as well as preventing your business from growing. \n\nUnderstand What Your Time Worth\nWhat do you consider to be valuable tasks for your business? How about building your client base, completing client projects, and/or promoting your business? These are all important factors and you should be focusing all of your energy into fulfilling these tasks in the most efficient and effective manner possible. Completing these tasks will lead to increased revenue, satisfied clients, and attract the attention of more clients. Actions that increase your profits substantially are inarguably effective actions that drive your success. \n\nIf you’re currently a one-person show, completing all of these tasks on your own is not practical. If you also take care of administrative tasks such as answering phones, replying to emails and bookkeeping, you are seriously hindering the growth of your business. Individually, these tasks may seem like quick and simple tasks to accomplish, but if you take a step back and look at the big picture, you’ll discover that these “quick and simple” tasks actually eat up countless hours of your time, decreasing your productivity - and success. You probably already knew this.\n\nThe logical answer is to hire an assistant. Your time is a limited and valuable resource; do yourself and your business a favor by delegating administrative tasks to an assistant. As a business coach, this is one of the most valuable tips for being more successful I share with my clients. If you work from home and don’t have space where an assistant can work, don’t worry. There are thousands of qualified and experienced virtual assistants that are willing and happy to work remotely. You can search through a database of freelance virtual assistants through websites like Upwork.com, Guru.com, and TheVirtualGurus.com. \n\nLearn from the Masters\nBy emulating the actions that drive success used by other successful business owners and entrepreneurs, you’ll save yourself a lot of headaches and growing pains. Let’s explore the top four effective actions of successful business owners and entrepreneurs.\n\n1.\tStop procrastinating! Successful people wouldn’t dare procrastinate because they know that their success is riding on their ability to grow their

11 Guidelines for Staying Laser Focused and Increase Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 14 May 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "If asked, what is the one defining quality that sets great leaders apart from their wannabe counterparts, it would have to be their ability to maintain focus on the important issues.\n\nSure, once behind closed doors, even the most successful leaders probably have moments of indecision, procrastination, and uncertainty, but even the sharpest minds need to take a break occasionally.\n\nFor the majority of us, the power to focus on one task at a time and see it through to completion is not an innate gift. Focus is a learned response, so if we want to achieve the professional, personal and social goals we imagine, we have to first learn how to focus on what we want.\n\nWe now live in a frenetic, activity-filled, multi-tasking, instant gratification society, so it is easy to get lost in the distractions that bombard us from every angle. \n\nHow many times have you found yourself on the phone talking to a client, while reading your emails, hitting the “Reply” button and then typing out a response? Where is your focus while you are completing a number of individual tasks at the same time?\n\nFocus requires that we learn to differentiate between the “urgent” and the “important” tasks. Urgent tasks are distractions that cause us, subconsciously, to put off or delay the important projects. And it’s the important tasks that lead us to our objectives and goals.\n\nResponding to urgent emails, answering the phone, or checking your text messages can all be categorized as urgent tasks. We are conditioned to believe that these urgent tasks require our instant attention because they keep us busy and make us feel important and needed.\n\nWe think, “This will only take a minute,” when, in fact, urgent tasks can often take a lengthy amount of “minutes” to complete.\n\n11 Guidelines for Helping You to Stay Laser Focused\n\nThe power of focus lies in your ability to distinguish the urgent from the important; and concentrate your energy on the important.\n\nThese guidelines will help you to re-direct your focus and prioritize getting the important things done first.\n\n1.\tWrite down the important tasks you have set yourself for the day. These are the results-driven projects that require your complete focus.\n\nPrioritize those tasks according to their importance, as they relate to goal achievement, and then plan a strategy for completing the most important task first.\n\nVisualize the entire process and how it will look once it’s completed.

5 Strategies to Help You with Change Management

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 07 May 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Change is inevitable. In fact, change can occur so frequently and regularly that in many cases we hardly notice it.\n\nWe change our hairstyles, our fashions, our relationships, our opinion, or we re-arrange the furniture; all with little or no resistance.\n\nSo, why do some of us react like a nuclear war is pending when we are confronted with change?\n\nFamiliarity with our surroundings, our friends and relationships and our working environment allow us to reside safely inside our comfort zone. And comfort equals security.\n\nHowever, large changes require us to step outside our comfort zone, adapt to new patterns of behavior and learn new techniques for survival.\n\nChange makes us uneasy. Even when a change seems logical and reasonable, we ask ourselves, “Why can’t things remain as they are? I liked it just the way it was.”\n\nBut that kind of thinking is self-delusional; we all want to change, whether we admit to it or not. Sure, there are people who say they are happy the way they are, but they are not being truthful with themselves.\n\nWe all want to be better, faster, stronger, richer, more powerful, happier, more fulfilled; the list goes on and on. So, why then do most of us vehemently resist change?\n\nChange is a Fact of Life\n\nProgress requires change, so we must develop change strategies that reduce our resistance and allow us to view change with a positive and constructive attitude.\n\nAlthough the majority of us initially react to change with feelings of anxiety and disorientation, most of us are able, over time, to respond with a more favorable and positive attitude and mindset.\n\nAfter all, 9 times out of 10, change brings about new opportunities to improve our position, our wellbeing, our environment and our circumstances.\n\nOccasionally change is precipitated by destructive, stressful circumstances like divorce, death or natural disasters.\n\nWhen a catastrophic change occurs, most people require time and support to enable them to deal with the grieving process before they can adapt to the new changes that have been thrust upon them. \n\nBut like our response to grief, our response to change varies, depending on our inherent qualities and attitudes.\n\nSo, what coping mechanisms can we put in place to ensure we embrace change with a positive attitude and a sense of excitement in the possibilities?\n\n5 Strategies for Change Management\n\n1. Focus on the positives\n\nChange generally results in a positive outcome. Rather than focus on

Increase Your Power of Your Focus in 4 Steps

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 30 Apr 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Living your life without practicing The Power of Focus, is like trying to hit the bull’s eye of a target you can’t see. You can spend hours launching arrows, only to miss the target entirely. You become exhausted and frustrated when your repeated efforts don’t show the results you are trying to achieve. This is what it feels like to operate without The Power of Focus.\n\nTo get to where you want to be, you must hold clear in your mind what you most want. Your subconscious mind is a powerful, goal-achieving machine, but it can’t lead you to your desired goal, if you don’t provide it with a specific target. If it doesn’t have a clear and specific target, it can’t get you there. As Stephen Covey would say, you must begin with the end in mind.\n\nThe Power of Focus is the practice of focusing on the ‘right’ tasks at hand, while minimizing distractions that take your focus away from your goals. It will improve time management, professional and personal performance, task efficiency, overall life balance, and provide your mind the information it needs to get you to the bull’s eye.\n\nWhen you focus on the ‘right’ activities that lead to ‘big’ goal achievement, you will succeed. A client of mine set a goal she was afraid to set because she had never been successful at achieving it before. We brainstormed a list of what we thought were the ‘right’ activities she needed to do in order to achieve this particular goal. She got focused on these activities, did them, and exceeded her goal! The same thing can happen for you when you focus on the ‘right’ activities.\n\nStep 1.\nCreate a Long-Term Goal List\nWhat are your Long-Term Goals within the next 3-5 years? Within 10 or 20 years? They can be anything you want - but they must be what you really want. Your Long-Term Goals should go far beyond your comfort zone and how you would ideally like to see your life. Asking to retire rich isn’t specific enough - you must include as many details as possible along with the date you would like to achieve each goal. A date includes a month, day, and year for each goal. \n\nStep 2.\nCreate a Short-Term Goal List.\nWhat are your Short-Term Goals? Within one week? Within 3 or 6 months? Whatever they are, include specific dates down to the month, day and year. Prioritize your short-term goals and put the goal that is most important to you at the top of the list. When you finish the most important things, move them off your list and do the next one, then the next one.

Being Professionally Persistent Can Pay Off Big!

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Persistence is to success as excuses are to failure. Never, never give up - there is always a way.\n\nJim Rohn said, “If you want something, you will find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.” And he should know. A college drop-out, and in a rut, in debt and unable to see his way out by his mid-twenties, Jim set out to achieve more. And he did. His persistence paid off and by age 31, he was a millionaire. \n\nIf you want more, you WILL find a way, because there always IS a way. With persistence and consistent action, you will make it happen. If you don't believe me, keep listening.\n\nDid you know that Thomas Edison had over 10,000 failed attempts to create the light bulb before he was successful? His persistence was as valuable as his invention. 10,000 failed attempts and look what he created! Even if you’re not out to change the world, what could you create with an unresolved persistence?\n\nAllyson Felix made it to the Olympics in just over one year. With an intense training schedule of five to six hours per day, her persistence paid off. By the end of her training season in 2003, she had broken many records, including one set by Olympic Gold Medalist, Marion Jones. At the 2004 Olympics, she won the Silver Medal by running a 22.18 in the 200-meter race. Amazingly, she did all of this while being a high-school senior and a freshman college student.\n\nPersistence always pays off - and sometimes big time! It's a known fact that more business deals are inked when one of the parties is persistent. Now, being persistent is not the same as being pushy; rather, it is voicing your ideal fit and expertise to someone that may not be aware of the benefits they will receive working with you. They will appreciate your persistence and the benefits - but you have to make them known.\n\nYou’ve probably heard of Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, and their best-selling book series, Chicken Soup for the Soul. Did you know they marketed the original books to over 130 publishers, over a two-year period before a struggling publisher agreed to publish it. That's two years of phone calls, foot-peddling and persistence that started a best-selling book series. The authors knew the value of the book, it came down to making it known to the right publisher. Once the publisher saw the value, they knew what the benefits would be. Their first book went on to sell 8 million copies in 39 languages. And to date, the series has sold more than 100 millio

5 Key Principles to Business Success and How to Utilize Them

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 16 Apr 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 5 Key Principles to Business Success and How to Utilize Them.\n\nUnderstanding common keys to business success is essential to any business owner who is looking to move on to the next level. A lot of people don’t understand that almost all successful businesses have a few things in common. Figuring out exactly what these common denominators are and how to use them in your business can provide you with some very valuable insight as you seek to increase revenue and enlarge your profit margins. \n\nPrinciple #1… Be Organized\nOrganization is key when it comes to business. If you can’t take care of your desk, then how do you plan on taking care of your company? Keeping everything organized, from paperwork to personnel, will not only eliminate confusion, but will set a good example for everyone in your firm. \n\nHow to Utilize Organization for Your Business\nUtilizing this principle begins with YOU. To start with, never leave an area without making sure that you have organized it. If you have papers on your desk at night, organize them and put them away before you go home. On the same note, make sure that employees keep their areas neat and tidy. Never allow clutter or chaos to rule your workspace. If you have several people doing the same job, you can take a picture of the ideal workspace and how to organize it for maximum effectiveness. Add this photo to the procedures manual so everyone has access to it.\n\nPrinciple #2… Do Research\nNeil Armstrong once said “In much of society, research means to investigate something you do not know or understand.” When it comes to business, it is extremely important to investigate before taking a leap, and this investigation is exactly what research is. \n\nHow to Utilize Research for Your Business\nUse research to test any theories that you might have before taking decisive action. Are you thinking of carrying a new type of product? Then do some research and find out if your clients/prospects would buy such a product. Decisions that are not researched thoroughly beforehand can end up failing, especially if you happen to guess wrong about factors that could have been tested and investigated beforehand. \n\nPrinciple #3… Be Passionate\nBeing passionate about what you are doing is a must have if you want to move ahead. If you are not passionate about what you are doing, then odds are good that you are going to get burnt out and sick of it. The most successful businesses in the world were foun

4 Efficient and Effective Behaviors that Increase Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Many professionals agree that, while learning to deal with certain situations in certain ways can be beneficial, the true nature of successful behavior really begins within. In other words, you can study individual problems and how to deal with them, but the only way that you are going to be FULLY equipped to handle any situation is if you learn effective and efficient behavior patterns that literally change the way that you are and how you think. In this episode, we are actually going to discuss four different behaviors that you can take upon yourself to learn. These behaviors are sure-fire ways to change your perspective when it comes to your business, and can equip you with the tools that you need to move onto the next level. \n\nBehavior #1…. Being Proactive\nHumans are a unique type of creature in the way that they REACT to stimuli in an intelligent way. Unlike any other creature in the world, humans have the ability to decide for themselves how they will react to a particular situation or circumstance. Unlike humans, animals do not possess this ability. They respond to situations more like a computer program. They follow their instincts. But as humans, we have a choice. \n\nBeing proactive is a very human trait, and it is an especially prevalent behavior among very accomplished and professional businesspeople. In essence, to be proactive means to be the opposite of reactive. You need to move forward, always aware of your destination and of problems that might impede you. Once you get there, you will react accordingly. You might try to go around it, you might ask someone to fix it for you, or you might try to fix it yourself. \n\nBeing proactive, however, is quite different. If you go through life being proactive, then you will actively be aware of anything that could potentially slow you down or hinder you. You will also prepare yourself to deal with such problems before they arise, and will often find ways of turning them into opportunities. You will also be constantly aware of what is going on around you, and will be able to take appropriate action before the need to do something is thrust upon you. By acting quickly and before you must, you will often find that the advantage will belong to you, which is another HUGE benefit to being proactive.\n\nTo be proactive in life, start by looking around you at any possible problems that might be lingering. How can you use these problems to create new opportunities for yourself? That is what being proactive

Going from Overwhelmed to Easy in 5 Simple Steps

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 02 Apr 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Owning and running a business is no easy task as we already know. There is a lot to do every day, and odds are good that you find yourself feeling overwhelmed from time to time. With everything that needs to get done, it can be very easy to get bogged down. Looking at a to-do list for the month might discourage you, especially when you consider the fact that there are simply a LOT of things on that list that nobody else can really help you with! \n\nSo, what do you do in situations like this? How do you go from being overwhelmed to easily accomplishing everything that you need accomplished? That is a very good question, and it is the exact topic that we are going to cover today. Let’s now explore the 5 simple steps that you can use to get from the ‘overwhelmed’ stage to the ‘easy’ stage. Some of these tips might sound familiar to you, but I’ll bet that if you try these steps in order, you will find your over-filled to-do list MUCH easier to deal with!\n\nStep #1… Break It Up\nBreaking your to-do list down into smaller sections can often make it much easier to handle. Instead of looking at the entire list at once, make it a point to separate it into smaller sections. For example, instead of having a week’s worth of tasks written down and marking them off as you complete them, try breaking this week into days. This will make it that much easier to avoid getting overwhelmed. Your list should always be in priority order with the highest payoff activities at the top.\n\nStep #2… Get Organized\nOnce you have broken your task list down into smaller sections, it is time to get organized! Make sure you have allocated appropriate time on your calendar to complete your tasks. At the beginning of every new task, take a minute to gather what you will need to begin the next task on the list. Getting everything together in the beginning will streamline the process and keep you from having to take breaks to fetch things. Spending the time to completely prepare will pay for itself in the short and long run. \n\n“Discipline is doing what you know you should do at the time you should do it,\neven if you don’t feel like it.”\n– Rowena Szeszeran-McEvoy\n\nStep #3… Determine Whether or Not to Delegate\nAs a business owner, you undoubtedly have employees who can help you to perform some tasks. While some things on your to-do list might be exclusively for you to tackle, take a minute or two each day to evaluate what you might be able to delegate to others. Delegating can save yo

6 Tips for Becoming Even More Confident in Business

Anne Bachrach — Fri, 27 Mar 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Confidence is absolutely essential if you want to make friends, influence people, and wake up energized day after day. A lack of confidence can be a pretty serious problem in a lot of different ways. It can affect your goals, your daily work, how you interact with people, and how you perceive yourself. If you don’t have enough confidence to believe in yourself, then you are going to have trouble ever achieving your goals. In fact, a complete lack of confidence will likely keep you from even setting goals!\n\nAs a successful businessperson, you no doubt realize that confidence is important… and you would probably not have gotten as far as you have without having at least a good measure of it. If, however, you ever find yourself doubting whether you are ‘good enough’ or ‘capable’, then this article is for you! Let’s now explore 5 tips for becoming even more confident than you are now. Finding more confidence will help you as you venture on towards the next level of success, and can help to guard you against a recurrence in self-doubt or demotivation. \n\nTip #1… Walk Faster\nDo you ever notice how confident people seem to walk faster than people who are not as sure of themselves? This is because confident people are usually busy, full of purpose, and have a ‘method’ to their madness! Next time you go out, try to think about all of the important things that you will be needed for. Think about how important your time is, and think about how much more you could accomplish if you got to where you were going in less time. Believe it or not, brisk walking can actually fill you with a sense of purpose and security about yourself. You will actually feel more confident if you lengthen your strides and walk like you have a reason to get somewhere (which you do! You are, after all, a successful businessperson… and you DESERVE to feel like one!). \n\nTip #2… Create and Periodically Review Your “Me” File\nKeeping a ‘me’ file on hand filled with emails, letters, cards, and other positive communications or comments from clients and friends is one of the best ways to help give your confidence level a boost on those days when you don’t feel as good about yourself. Keep this file close at hand, and pull out a few letters to read when you start to feel down. If you ever feel like you are not good enough, looking back on good things that were said to you can REALLY have a positive impact. The whole point of this tip is to remind yourself that you ARE successful, and that you h

Turn Challenging Events into Opportunities to Grow Your Biz

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Just in case you haven't seen or shared with your clients and prospects something that can hopefully, favorably influence their fears and concerns about the impact of the Coronavirus (Covid-19), the one I've seen that does the good job of explaining this new virus, it's effects, and best prevention tips (without any of the media hype either way), is from the Mayo Clinic. You can view their special report link in the show notes (http://bit.ly/2IDU3Wq). Of course, there are many great, short reports out there for you to use from very reputable organizations.\n\nAfter you’ve sent an email to your clients and prospects, implementing 2 ideas I’m going to share can turn these challenging events into an opportunity to elevate your client value and grow your business.\n\n1.\tCALL every client. Glean your talking points for that conversation from the text in the email you previously sent them. Sample Script for a Financial Advisor - “You may have seen the email l sent with my thoughts about how the Coronavirus events could impact your money. The purpose of my call is to see how you’re feeling and answer any questions you may have.” Listen with empathy. Be prepared to respond to market, economy, and Coronavirus questions. Ask follow-up questions and listen with empathy. If the 'door opens' to have another phone conversation or a face-to-face meeting that may lead to being of service and doing more business, step through it. If not, feel good about being of service to your clients. Well done.\n\n2.\tCALL every prospect, friend, and family member in your database to have the same conversation. This means that you sent the same message your clients received to your prospects, friends, and family members. The same script works (for a Financial Advisor). “You may have seen the email l sent with my thoughts about how the Coronavirus events could impact your money. The purpose of my call is to see how you’re feeling and answer any questions you may have.” Listen with empathy. Be prepared to respond to market, economy, and Coronavirus questions. Ask follow-up questions and listen with empathy. If the 'door opens' to have another phone conversation or a face-to-face meeting that could lead to being of further service and doing business, step through it. If not, feel good about the value you’re putting into the world.

Are Limiting Beliefs Stopping You from Achieving Your Goals?

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 19 Mar 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today you have the opportunity to download a complimentary special guidebook called, Are Limiting Beliefs Stopping You from Achieving Your Goals?\n\nTo give you some insight about what this special guidebook is about and why you want to read it.…I believe that, inherently speaking, there is nothing that you are not capable of accomplishing. The truth is there is no such thing as can't - you only think you can't. Success is not a special privilege handed out to a selected few; success comes to applying success-oriented beliefs. Transform limiting beliefs into success beliefs and you can achieve anything.\n\nSometimes people don't realize their limiting beliefs have created an obstacle that is stopping them from achieving their goals.\n\nFor example, let me tell you a quick story. \nDuring one of my coaching sessions with a client, I asked him about his success with obtaining referrals (which is a key to any business). He told me that he typically will receive two referrals per client. When I asked him why he thought he didn't receive more, he replied, I just can’t imagine obtaining more than two referrals per client because that is what I typically receive. Then I asked him if he expected and believed he would receive more than two referrals (something like 5, 8, 12 or 25), did he think he might actually receive more referrals? He hesitated for a minute and in an \"a-ha\" moment, said yes. He realized at that moment his limiting belief was holding him back from something more. As soon as he changed his limiting belief, he began experiencing a higher number of referrals from his clients. How are limiting beliefs affecting your success?\n\nWhen you let go of limiting beliefs, you gain the power to not only get around obstacles, but prevent your mind from creating them in the future. In this complimentary Special Guidebook, we explore 7 Success-Oriented Beliefs that will help you realize that you can do anything and any obstacles you face are only imaginary blocks created by your limiting beliefs.\n\nApply these 7 success-oriented beliefs to create a success driven business and life.\n\nDownload this complimentary guidebook, Are Limiting Beliefs Stopping You from Achieving Your Goals today and crush any limiting beliefs you have or don’t know you have.

4 Tips for Being More Consistent - Increase Business Success

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 12 Mar 2020 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "When it comes to your business, consistency is absolutely essential to increasing success. Becoming and staying consistent is not always easy, but it will always produce better results. \n\nWhat exactly does it mean to be consistent? I would say that Merriam-Websters dictionary probably says it best…\n\n“Consistent - Marked by harmony, regularity, or steady continuity:\nfree from variation or contradiction.”\n\nStaying consistent will mean a number of things to you as you grow your business. To clients, you will appear reliable, dependable, capable, and steady. To your employees, you will appear congruous and constant. Consistency makes up a huge part of what causes a business to be successful, and achieving consistency will bring you a step closer to realizing this success on your own terms. \n\nWe are going to explore 4 tips that can help you to become even more consistent each and every day. Some of these tips might seem like no-brainers; however, following them faithfully can have a dramatic impact on the outcome of any project that you might be working on, be it large or small. \n\n1… Create and Execute a Game Plan\nHaving a set plan is absolutely essential to staying consistent. Without a firmly established success road map, you could very easily veer off course. This could cause variation in any part of your business, even if you are trying as hard as you can to avoid it. In truth, it is really hard to stay focused and regular when you do not have a plan to work from that can help you realize how to get to where you ultimately want to be. To help you consistently execute your plan, you need to make sure you utilize your calendar, so you can stay focused on exactly what needs to be done every day.\n\nDoes your business have policies and procedures for all of its work-related tasks? Do your employees have access to these procedures? How do you know that your employees have this information, and it is accurate? The failure to have a plan in place is a common-enough occurrence among businesses, but you would be amazed at how many businesses forget about putting together a plan for informing everyone involved, as keeping such information current is important! \n\n2… Encourage Open Communication\nHave you ever had a team member who asked you a lot of questions or the same questions over and over? Believe it or not, some people naturally get aggravated when they are asked questions, even if they pertain to the important aspects of running the business. Bu

3 Tips for Working Smarter Instead of Harder

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 05 Mar 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "We have all heard that old adage that tells us to ‘work smarter, not harder’. While you probably remember someone telling you this while you helped with chores on the farm, it can sometimes be difficult to employ such wisdom to a modern business. How do you do it? What does that even mean in today’s world?\n\nWhen it comes to modern business, this mentality could not be more useful… but truth be told, it can definitely be hard to fit it in if you are not used to it. So, here are three tips that will show you how to work smarter instead of harder in today’s world, so you too can enjoy an even better quality of life. These tips will not only inspire you to attack your duties from a new perspective, but will also encourage you to use your intellect as opposed to your raw, exhaustible physical effort. \n\nTip #1… Streamline the Process\nDo you find yourself putting vast amounts of time or effort into activities that are performed on a regular, consistent basis? If so, then streamlining these processes could save you a lot of time and effort. Finding the most time-effective and energy efficient way to get daily tasks accomplished is not only a way to ‘work smarter’, but is also a way to save your business valuable time and money… and if you are the boss, then it is up to you to come up with such methods for the areas you are responsible for! Every team member should have systems and processes for ALL of their respective areas. This can help to reduce training time and the time it takes to replace employees, either on a permanent or a temporary basis. \n\nStart by looking at everything that needs to be done and by identifying the areas of the greatest wasted effort or resources. How can you arrange or delegate activities so that they can be completed as efficiently as possible by the best person for each task? One example might be moving boxes from one end of the warehouse to the other. Instead of picking each one up and moving it individually, is it possible to pick up the entire pallet and just move them with a wheeled goose in one trip? \n\nSome situations might require some brainstorming, but keep in mind that there are always easier ways to do things… all you have to do to both save your company money and make your life just a little bit easier, is to discover a way to streamline the process, so that you eliminate excess effort. With current technology and continual advancements, you should always be open to new ideas.\n\nTip #2... Use Your ‘Brain’, Not You

10 Quick and Easy Tips for Beating Procrastination

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Procrastination is no joke. Putting things off until later can spell ruin for even the most successful businessperson… which is EXACTLY why it is a problem that you should make an effort to continually deal with when you notice it negatively affecting your results. If you suffer from procrastination, then you undoubtedly know that it can be extremely troublesome. You no doubt want to work hard and get things done, but some people find this more difficult to do than others. If you are one of those people, then this podcast is for you! \n\nHere are 10 quick and easy tips for beating procrastination. Winning this battle doesn’t have to be rocket science or making it harder than it needs to be. Sometimes, finding a little bit of help (like these tips) is all that you need to tip the scales back to your favor!\n\nTip #1… Get Up and Get Going\nIf you feel the urge to procrastinate coming upon you, then sometimes the best thing to do is to get up and get moving – don’t let yourself put off what you need to do. The minute you start to deviate from what you know you need to be doing is exactly when you need to take a deep breath, and just do it. Stop letting those typical excuses to stop you from getting going! Changing scenery can often change your frame of mind, and you might find that going for a walk, taking a jog, or even grabbing a cup of coffee can help you to clear your mind and get you back on track to getting things done. (Just don’t do it too often, as doing this EVERY TIME you get the urge to procrastinate can actually become procrastination itself.)\n\nTip #2… Wake Up Earlier \nWaking up earlier in the day can often improve your odds of getting things accomplished. More productive people are generally out and about during the early morning hours, and you will likely find the atmosphere a lot more conducive to productivity than the atmosphere of the early afternoon or evening hours. Get up earlier to exercise, stretch, meditate, and get those juices flowing to immediately tackle your highest payoff activities the moment you arrive at work. \n\nTip #3… Clean and Organize as You Go\nSometimes we get so surrounded by clutter and chaos that we end up getting defeated before we begin. Looking around you and seeing a mess is usually never conducive to productivity, which is why it can really pay to keep things clean and tidy as your day progresses. Five or ten minutes spent prioritizing your activities can pay big dividends as the day goes on. \n\nTip #4… Ge

How to Embrace Your Inner Power to Stick to Your Game Plan

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 13 Feb 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Embracing your inner power is important if you want to continue to progress as a successful businessperson, though learning to get past your own self-imposed boundaries can be a challenge. In order to fully understand how we can use our ‘inner power’ to stick to our game plan in life, we are going to first examine what it takes to unlock it. \n\nUnlocking your ‘inner power’\nYou will hear a lot of people talk about inner power, what it is, what it does, where it comes from, and how to unlock it. You will hear a lot of people say that we, as humans, are actually made up of two different parts. There is, of course, of physically manifested body… but there is also the non-manifested consciousness. In theory, humans often hold themselves back because they only gauge and perceive the physical… not what lies beneath the surface. In theory, if you can learn to recognize that you have control over your destiny, you will be able to think, dream, or plan any reality that you want for yourself. It is all about believing in yourself, and about ‘being’ the person that you want to be. \n\nUnlocking this ability, generally, requires you to step outside of your typical thought framework and to bypass your own self-imposed boundaries. You need to open yourself up to the idea that you CAN create any reality for yourself that you choose… even if it means taking your already successful business and making it even more successful. If you believe that this will happen, to the point where you don’t really see how anything else is possible, then you will begin to feel what it means to unlock your inner power. To go through life with an attitude so positive that you literally don’t see failure as an option is going to make ALL the difference in the world. \n\nIn order to unlock this power, you need to stop setting yourself up for failure! Stop being surprised when things work out. Don’t plan on failure… plan on DOING until what you envision for yourself is accomplished. \n\n\"It is never too late to be what you might have been.\" \n- George Eliot\n\nUsing you inner power to stick to your game-plan\nIf you already have a game plan, then using your inner power to accomplish it will make it far more likely to succeed. First, you need to realize, within yourself, that failure is not an option. You can literally accomplish ANYTHING if you set your mind to it… so don’t think for a moment that your game plan might lead you to a less than ideal outcome. If you have put thought into it, be

[[:encoded, "There is no doubt that things change as time goes by… but never have things (especially pertaining to business) advanced as rapidly as they do now. With technology evolving and changing on a day to day basis, it can be a challenge to keep up. Marketing, communication, networking, technology, infrastructure… all of these are areas that are constantly affected by the metamorphosis of who we are as humans, and how we do business with one another. \n\nKeeping up with the business world can be a challenge, but it is definitely possible. In fact, those who are the most successful at business in the long run are usually those who are good at adapting to changes as they take place in the world around them. Regardless of what type of business you are in, you are probably going to be hard-pressed to run it without adapting to new technologies as you progress. \n\nCommunication is Only the Beginning\nIf anything has changed in the last twenty years, it has been communications. Businesses now communicate with other businesses, employees, and potential clients in ways that were unheard of just a few short years ago. There was a time (and not that long ago, either) when you mailed checks with order forms if you needed a product from a store far away. There was also a time when landline telephones were a primary method of communication. Do you remember the days when the fax machine was a revolutionary way to receive information on short notice? Even these modern-day wonders have been all but replaced by the advent of newer and more effective technologies. \n\nWhere we used to rely on catching people at home on the landline phone, or leaving a voice mail on the physical voice mail machine, we now all carry cell phones that make us reachable 24/7. Instead of fax machines, we use texting and email to send instant written messages back and forth. Even face-to-face meetings have changed! With services like Skype available to anyone, you can have a face-to-face meeting with your colleague, virtual employee, client, or prospective client from the other side of the world in real time!\n\nHow can you keep up with these changes? How do you know what is being used and what is just a passing fad? These are great questions, and the answers are not as difficult to figure out as you might think. \n\nStaying Current in a Changing World\nThe first thing to remember about staying current is to pay attention to growing and changing trends. Listen to your employees, mentors, and peers. Find

5 Tips for Developing and Keeping Great Habits

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Your success relies, at least in part, on you spending your time wisely. As a successful businessperson, you no-doubt realize that time is the most precious commodity that you could possibly possess. You also know that moving to the next stage of success will only be possible if you continue to permeate your life with good habits that will help you to make the most of your time. \n\n“Every person who has become successful has simply formed the habit of \ndoing things that failures dislike doing and will not do.” \t\n--John Maxwell\n\nGood habits are an asset that every successful person has to develop… but doing so is not always easy. Developing great habits can be challenging, especially when old habits threaten to rise up again during times of weakness. Therefore, we are exploring 5 tips for developing and keeping great habits. This list will help to remind you of what it takes to create those great habits, and it will also help you to keep from falling back into your old routines that aren't serving you. \n\n1… Define Your Objective\nWhy do you want to develop a certain habit? What are you hoping to achieve by it? Before starting a new routine, it is always a good idea to figure out exactly what you hope will come of it. Are you looking to do away with a bad habit by implementing a new one? Are you looking to lose weight? Are you hoping to make more effective use of your time during the day? Figuring out exactly what you hope to accomplish will enable you to look past the difficulties that you might face. \n\n2… Visualize Overcoming the Obstacles\nEvery new habit is going to be tempted with obstacles. It is important to visualize exactly what might happen that could keep you from sticking to your new habits, and to figure out beforehand how you are going to deal with them. If you are trying to effectively lose weight through better eating habits, then you are going to have to find a way to deal with how to avoid caving in when your mother sends you a box of fresh-baked cookies, or you not eating desert when your spouse regularly eats it after dinner. If you are trying to develop better workout habits, then you are going to have to plan on saying no when your friends want you to skip out on a night at the gym to watch a movie. \n\nThe truth is that good habits are not developed completely overnight. It is going to take some effort to implement them, so make sure that you can visualize a way to get through obstacles before they happen. Don't let these 'o

Getting On Top and Staying On Top

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Operating at the top of your game and being the very best you can be is essential to being successful. If you can find a way to always give 100%, no matter what you are doing, then you will most likely find yourself in a successful position if you keep at it long enough. But how do you continue to do your best, every single day – day in and day out? How do you keep from burning out? \n\nBurnout happens to all of us at some point along the way. We try our best in the beginning, but eventually ‘other’ things start to sneak into our mindset and overwhelm can quickly and easily take over. We allow ourselves to take shortcuts and to lose focus. We get lazy about things that are hard to focus on. We start to let quality drop in certain areas. We start to feel run-down and tired, and sometimes, we even end up losing interest in doing a great job altogether. \n\nNow we are going to explore 5 tips for always doing your best. These tips are simple, and can really help you to get on top of your game. And once you are there, they will also help you to stay there!\n\nTip #1-Get Enough Sleep\nThis might seem like a no-brainer, but sleep is essential to doing your best. Having enough sleep is actually so vital that you could find not getting enough of it can actually physically keep you from performing tasks at the height of your ability. A lack of sleep can not only cause drowsiness and the inability to focus, but can also result in impaired cognitive function, making it harder for you to reason and think logically. If you normally stay up late and find yourself drowsy and half-asleep in the morning, you might need to re-think your sleeping pattern. Try going to bed a half hour or an hour earlier than normal, so that you allow your brain the kind of time it needs to wake up on its own. Statistics actually show that many of us go through life sleep deprived. Imagine the difference that you could make in your life if you were fully rested and raring to go each and every day! Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t wake up wishing you could sleep for another hour or two? \n\nTip #2-Maintain a Healthy Diet\nEating right is actually essential to doing your best. Some people have a huge problem with this. Their diet consists of soda, chips, cookies, and anything else they can get out of a vending machine or at the fast-food restaurant. A bad diet saps your energy, makes you tired, and hurts your immune system. Try going on a special whole-foods only eating plan (fruits, vegetables

4 Steps to Building Persistent Behavior in Your Business

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 16 Jan 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Persistence is sort of like a ‘magic word’ when it comes to success, in my opinion. Persistence is basically the repetition or continuation of behavior, and it is an absolutely essential part of business. As a successful business owner, you no doubt have at least a pretty good idea of what it takes to be persistent, though it never hurts to revisit a subject that is this important. \n\nThe whole idea of persistence revolves around the fact that motivation has a tendency to wax and wane a bit as time goes by. Persistence is a behavior that can be learned, but it is also a behavior which will render this troublesome waxing and waning of your motivation harmless in the long run, which is why it is so instrumental to expanding your current level of success. However, since persistence is an attribute of longevity, it can take some strength of mind and some psychological fortitude to really believe in it enough to make a commitment to practice it day after day. We are now going to discuss 4 steps to building persistent behavior. Following these steps will help you with the process of more consistently being a persistent person so you can experience even better results. \n\nStep #1… Realize That Motivation Is Not Enough\nGetting motivated is a great way to start your day, but unless you are an enigma with an endless supply of motivation… you are going to experience some downtimes. The sad truth is that, to put it quite bluntly, motivation is GOING to fail you at some point or another. A lot of people will look at a lack of motivation and think to themselves that maybe they are not doing the right thing. They will wonder why they used to be so excited about it, only to now believe that they have lost their excitement forever. \n\nThis can be a big problem if you do not know exactly what is going on. Motivation, very typically, comes and goes much like the waves on a sandy beach. One day, you might be filled with motivation. You might feel like you could conquer the world. But, as time goes by, you may notice this motivation begin to leave you. At some point, you will realize that the tide has completely gone out. You will feel drained, exhausted, discouraged, and you may even have thoughts about wanting to give up. \n\nThese are the typical ups and downs that you will experience in business, and this is EXACLTY why you need persistence! Without it, you would be more likely to act on these highs and lows instead of just riding through them and moving forward to pe

How to Identify and Change ‘Limiting Beliefs’

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 09 Jan 2020 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "A limiting belief is a belief that holds you back from realizing your full potential. They can be hard to spot, but for those who suffer from them, they can be very debilitating and troublesome. So how do you identify them, and how do you change them?\n\nThe first thing that we will talk about is how to spot them. \n\nHow to Identify a ‘Limiting Belief’\nA limiting belief is almost always a negative thing. It usually manifests itself as a sub-conscious thought that keeps you from trying something. Most of the time, such a belief causes you to give up before you try, simply because you believe that you are no good at. An example could be math… if you have a limiting belief that you are ‘bad at math’, then you may not even attempt to comprehend an in-depth math problem. \n\nLimiting beliefs usually have roots in our past experiences. Perhaps someone once told you that you were bad at it, and hearing that really affected you? Or maybe you attempted it once long ago, and failed… so now you believe that you are inherently ‘bad’ at whatever it is you tried. Maybe you took a class on it in school, and failed the class… so you believe within your own mind that there is absolutely NO way that you could ever be good at that particular subject. Maybe you have always received 1-2 referrals every time you asked so you believe that is all you will ever get when you ask. \n\nIdentifying such a belief is not always easy, but it is essential to be honest with yourself. Anything that you believe is not worth trying is usually tied to a limiting belief, and you usually believe the way you do because of something that happened in the past. \n\nHow to Get Past It\nGetting past such a belief can be mentally challenging, because odds are good that you have spent a great deal of time avoiding it or putting yourself down about it or haven't ever thought outside the box and beyond it. Getting past such a mental roadblock can definitely be accomplished, but you have got to use logic… and you are often going to have to bypass your emotions or feelings of inferiority in the process. \n\nBegin by thinking about WHY you have this belief. Is it because of something that somebody said? Is it because of something that someone has done? Is it because you have failed at it in the past? Is it because you kept getting the same outcome you now don't expect more is possible? Any number of these things could have happened, but it is important that you do not let these things define who you are o

4 Ways in Which Time Management Principles Can Benefit You

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 19 Dec 2019 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Time management is an art that a lot of successful entrepreneurs have mastered, and for good reason. Since time is your most precious commodity, it would only make sense that you would put effort into using it as efficiently as possible. Time is an interesting resource because everyone in the world really has the same amount of it each day. Some of us choose to use it one way, while others choose to use it in different ways. \n\nAs a successful professional, you have no doubt realized that time management is essential to getting everything done, but do you know that practicing efficiency in this manner also has other benefits? Using your time wisely can offer you a lot of positives that will help you in other ways, which is exactly what this Podcast is about. We are going to explore four ways in which time management can help you as you progress to the next level of success. You might be surprised to learn how beneficial it can be to ‘watch the clock’ while you go about your day!\n\n\"We cannot waste time. We can only waste ourselves.\" \n-- George Matthew Adams\n\n1. Time Management Principles Give You Control Over Your Life\nTime management actually allows you more control over your life. By planning ahead and figuring out how you are going to fit everything in, you are allowing yourself more control over what actually gets done. Prioritizing the things that you planned can help you to get them out of the way quickly and easily, thus making more room in life for the things that you would rather be doing. \n\nA lot of people fail to remember that time is going to get used up every day, no matter what you do. Whether you get a lot done or not, you are STILL going to have 24 less hours than you did the day before. This is why it is so essential to make sure that you are controlling your own destiny by mapping out how you want to get things accomplished. Moving on to the next level of success is going to depend on you being in absolute control of your life. If you cannot even control your time, how do you think that you are going to be able to control anything else? Time management principles can DEFINITELY help with this!\n\n\"A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.\"\n- Charles Darwin\n\n2.

Consistency – The Model to Increase Your Success

Anne Bachrach — Fri, 13 Dec 2019 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "When it comes to business, consistency is absolutely a key to success. Becoming and staying as consistent as you need to be to achieve your goals is not always easy, but it is a behavior that anyone involved in business would do well to learn and apply.\n\nThe truth is that more businesses fail than succeed. Statistically, the odds of any new business actually 'making it' and becoming profitable enough to sustain itself are slim. But how can you overcome the odds? What can you do to propel your business to a place where it can not only be successful, but also grow and prosper? To accomplish success on this level, you need to embody several behaviors and habits, but one of the most crucial of these is consistency. \n\nIf you can learn to be consistent, then your talent can be fully realized and your ideas can be given a fair chance of working. You would be amazed at how many businesses, started by talented and intelligent people, fail because they neglect to continue in their good habits, day in and day out. A lot of factors come into play, but there is no substitute for being determined, reliable, and consistent. \n\nBecoming the ‘Model of Success’\nOne of the key concepts to understand, as it relates to consistency, lies in the idea that you need to 'become what you desire to become'. In other words, don't just hope that your business will succeed. Instead, start living it on a day to day basis. Embody your ideas to the point where you make them real. When you believe in you and in your business enough, you can only succeed!\n\nIf your company was really busy and successful, then you would most likely need to do things a certain way to generate that result and outcome. But for a new start up, for a business that has not grown to that point yet, or even for a business that is older but hasn't grown a whole lot in past years...a lot can be accomplished by, for example, showing up to work and putting in the hours that you would be required to put in if your business were incredibly busy and successful. \n\nBeing consistent in a way as simple as showing up to work, day in and day out, is often overlooked. Many people do not realize how much good a consistent presence on their part can do for their business, even if they have employees who can manage things while they are not there. For example, showing up to work and having little in the way of business actually going on might seem like a waste of time, but you can utilize down time to further your ideas in o

5 Steps to Identifying and Channeling Your Motivation

Anne Bachrach — Fri, 06 Dec 2019 13:19:28 -0800

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 5 Steps to Identifying and Channeling Your Motivation.\n\nMotivation can be a powerful tool, but many people struggle to ever identify, nurture, and channel it properly. In fact, if we go to the dictionary, we will see that motivation is derived from its root word, ‘motive’. So, to be motivated, you need to have a motive, which is…\n\n\t“Something (as a need or desire) that causes a person to act.” –Merriam-webster.com. \n\nAs we see from our dictionary description, motivation is, basically, a motive that is going to cause you to act. All of us have motivations for doing what we do, but rarely is this applied to its maximum effectiveness. The truth is that a lot of people struggle to get motivated. They get in a slump, they stop trying, and eventually, motivation does not cause them to move forward… it simply serves as a hibernating survival mechanism that keeps them from falling apart. \n\n“Self-motivation is the power that raises a person to any level he seeks.”\n--John Maxwell\n\nBut as a successful businessperson, you no doubt know that motivation plays an important role in the life of any successful person… and you should also know that learning to identify and channel your motivation can be a huge driving force that can carry you to the next level of success. But how do you use it? How do you identify it, and how do you channel it? We are doing to explore five simple steps that will give you everything you need to get started. \n\nStep #1… Identify your singular goal\nA lot of people fall into slumps because they are trying to do too many things all at the same time. We all have different goals in life. That cannot really be avoided… but identifying your one, true, singular goal can REALLY help to ground you and bring you back to reality. What is your purpose? What do you want to achieve? What matters more than anything else? These are questions that can help you to identify your most important goal. Once you figure out what that is, you will be well on your way to figuring out what to do next. \n\nTo download my complimentary 6-page Values Clarification Exercise to help get you started on defining and getting clarity on your singular goal and your values, go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/values-clarification/.\n\nStep #2… Get Inspired\nIf you have been having trouble getting and staying motivated, you might need a little bit of help in the inspiration department.

How to Communicate In a Way That Produces Results

Anne Bachrach — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Communication is critical to every aspect of interaction with others. As a successful businessperson, you have no doubt realized the importance of communication. You know that productivity can only be achieved when proper communication has been as well. You know that nothing gets accomplished efficiently unless those in charge communicate with one another. \n\nTo put it quite plainly, nothing gets done if communication doesn’t happen! But how do you communicate effectively? How do you maximize the effectiveness of your words and correspondences so that you will see RESULTS instead of wasted time and effort? That is a great question, and that is EXACTLY what we are going to talk about in this article. \n\nWhy Is Communication Necessary?\nTo understand how to get results through communication, it is important to realize why it is so necessary. When people work together on a project, for a company, or towards the same goal, they will most likely be doing different things that are related. But in order for their actions to be helpful to one another, communication needs to take place. This is, basically, what it is all about. \n\n“If you just communicate you can get by.\nBut if you skillfully communicate, you can work miracles.”\n--Jim Rohn\n\nLearn To Listen\nListening is a key factor when it comes to communicating effectively. I once heard that our brains naturally begin formulating a response to what is said to us after an average of about 15 seconds of hearing someone else speak. That is usually not enough time! Make sure that you are controlling both your ears AND your mouth when someone is speaking to you. Once they are done, you can answer their question or react accordingly. This not only shows respect, but will also keep you from missing information and giving uninformed instructions. Effective communication can only be accomplished when both parties are open to listening to each other. \n\nDon’t Withhold Information\nSometimes, as a leader, it can be tempting to task someone to do something without giving them as much information as you have available. You might think, in your mind, that there is no reason for them to know any more than the absolute minimum. Or, you might think that their job is not to ‘know’ what you know, but rather to blindly ‘do as you say’. While this is an understandable frame of mind, to a point, you will doubtlessly find that you will become a better communicator if you tell your subordinates as much as possible as it pertain

5 Ways To Stay More Committed To Your Business

Anne Bachrach — Fri, 15 Nov 2019 07:00:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 5 Ways To Stay More Committed To Your Business.\n\nStaying committed to one thing is not always easy, even when it is your business. When hard times, frustrations, and low spots hit, it can be very tempting to just give up… but quitting will never ensure that you will succeed. In fact, nobody ever succeeded by giving up! Of course, you already know this to be true.\n\nAs a business owner, you are no doubt called upon to wear many hats. You probably work many more hours a week than you pay yourself for, and you likely invest far more effort and energy into the company than anyone else could even begin to comprehend… much less appreciate. All of this can quickly add up. In fact, it is not completely uncommon for business owners to toy with the idea of throwing in the towel to find a regular ‘day job’ where they will not be expected to give so much. \n\nBut staying committed will pay off! In fact, you are going to find that staying committed is not only good for your business, but also good for you as a person. Again, we are going to review 5 ways that you can stay more committed to your business. This list might not be exhaustive, but it can get you started on the path to getting things done, and it can help you get away from the thought of giving up!\n\n1-Create, Review, and Execute a Success Plan\nIf you don’t make a plan, complete with goals, expected profits, expenses, and rewards… then how can you ever expect to commit to your venture without getting burned out? A lot of people decide that they want to succeed, but you would be amazed at how many actually fail to take this simple step before they get started! By drafting yourself a simple game plan, you can give yourself an accurate and somewhat realistic idea of what it will take to get you from point A to point B. \n\n2-Commit In Small Steps\nLooking at an entire project and ‘committing’ to it in your mind can often be overwhelming, even for people who are used to taking on great amounts of responsibility. But if you take that entire project and break it down into smaller portions, you will soon find that committing to those portions is usually much easier. Overcoming large problems is almost always best accomplished by breaking it down into smaller, more specific bite-sized steps. \n\n3-Commit to the End Goal… Not To How You Get Them Done\nYou need to remember to stay flexible as you build your business. If you get too ‘set in your ways’, you can end up getting burnt

5 Ways to Have a ‘Winning’ Attitude

Anne Bachrach — Fri, 01 Nov 2019 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 5 Ways to Have a ‘Winning’ Attitude.\n\nHaving a winning attitude is essential to being successful. Theodore Roosevelt once said ‘Believe YOU CAN and you are half way there’. A lot of times, we end up defeating ourselves before we begin by having a negative outlook on what is going on. We sometimes tend to look at opportunities and only see roadblocks, or see only a glass that is ‘half empty’ as opposed to ‘half full’. \n\nOne of the most interesting quotes that I have ever heard is what was once said by John F. Kennedy…\n\n“When written in Chinese, the word crisis is composed of two characters. \nOne represents danger, and the other represents opportunity.”\n\nHaving a ‘winning attitude’ is all about how we view the world around us. It can be very easy to only see problems when we face hard times and new challenges, and yet the most successful people in the world have always shown that outlook plays a huge part in how successful you are. \n\nSo, how can you have a winning attitude, even in the face of adversity? Well, we are talking about 5 tips that might point you in the right direction. Following these tips will get you well on your way to defeating that negative frame of mind that threatens to dampen your spirits and discourage you when times get tough. \n\n1. Think about your strong points\nA quick assessment of your strong points can often be enough to deter negative thoughts, especially if you allow yourself to be honest. As a successful professional, you have a WIDE range of qualities that you deserve to be proud of, and part of having a winning attitude is about focusing on your strong points as opposed to your weaknesses. \n\n\"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. \nAttitude determines how well you do it.\"\n– Lou Holtz\n\n2. Give yourself daily pep talks\nSometimes, the strongest positive voice is your own! Take some time each day to look into the mirror and to give yourself a pep talk. Tell yourself that you can do anything that you set your mind to, and remind yourself not to give up. Some people have affirmations they say out loud every day and that makes a big difference for how they start and finish their day. It might sound a bit cheesy, but building confidence and a winning attitude is going to require you to BELIEVE in yourself… and one of the best ways to accomplish this is to speak it out loud!\n\n3. Listen to motivational speakers\nBelieve it or not, there are so

6 Ways to Stick to Your Goals and Be Even More Successful

Anne Bachrach — Fri, 25 Oct 2019 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Sticking to your goals is not always easy, especially if the next level of success is at stake. It can be very tempting to give up and stay where you are because the next level requires a lot more work… but this is not what you really want for yourself! Part of setting worthwhile goals and sticking to them is that this process allows you to grow as a person. If you give up and go back to the way you were before, then you are not going to have the peace of mind and confidence that comes from KNOWING that you can achieve your goals when you set your mind to it!\n\nMaybe your goals are business related, or maybe they are personal. Regardless of what they are, they MUST be important to you…so why give up on them? Life is what you make of it, and achieving goals is one way to shape your life on YOUR terms. Goals are something that nobody can take from you, which is why sticking to them is SO important!\n\n“To be successful in any sort of endeavor, you must have a definite goal. You must have definite plans for attaining this goal. Nothing is ever accomplished that is worthwhile without a definite plan of procedure that is systematically and continuously followed out day by day.” \n– Napoleon Hill\n\nSo, let’s explore the 6 tips for sticking to your goals. These tips are simple to understand, but they can help you with even the most complex goals that might be on your list! \n\n1… Find a Solution\nThe first key to sticking with your goals is to find a solution whenever a problem or an obstacle presents itself. It can be very tempting to give up when faced with obstacles, so what you NEED to remember is that obstacles are a part of life. You are never going to have a goal that does not lead you through some challenges before you see it through. Having the strength of mind that it takes to find a solution, regardless of how big the problem is, is exactly what you need if you want to stay focused and not give up. \n\n2… Anticipate Problems\nTry to think ahead to problems that could arise as you pursue your goals. Getting blindsided by a problem is always worse than dealing with a problem that you saw coming, which is why learning to anticipate is going to be very helpful if you want to avoid the discouragement that comes from being pelted with problems that appeared out of nowhere. Learn to look ahead and plan for potential growing pains that may or may not come your way. \n\n3… Learn from Mistakes and Failures\nWhen you encounter setbacks, failures, or mistakes as

4 Steps to Manifesting Your Desire to Get Things Done

Anne Bachrach — Sat, 19 Oct 2019 15:47:42 -0700

[[:encoded, "If you have ever heard of manifesting, then you probably know, at least in part, where this conversation is headed… but for those of you who might not be as familiar with the concept, I will take a moment to explain. \n\nManifestation is basically the belief that if you visualize and believe something enough, it will come to pass. There are a lot of varying beliefs about manifestation, and many people claim that it works in many different ways. Some believe that it is an almost spiritual, mystical phenomenon, while others tend to believe that any basis for it being true lies within the human mind. More people probably believe that if you believe in something enough, you will not be inhibited as you strive to achieve it… which is what actually ends up winning in the end. \n\nFor the sake of this conversation, we are going to approach manifestation from a position of pure logic. Logically, you ARE able to manifest things by visualizing and believing in them. This will enable you to break down self-imposed barriers and to give yourself the freedom that you need to pursue your goals without inhibitions. Once you acquire the ability to ‘live’ your success before it is physically in place, you will have realized what it truly means to ‘manifest’ the next level of success for yourself. \n\nGetting things done through manifestation\nIf you are one of those self-made entrepreneurs who, ironically, suffers from an inability to focus on day to day tasks, then you know EXACTLY what it feels like to WISH that you could get a lot done during the day. There are plenty of hours, but you probably feel like concentrating long enough to get most of your work done is almost impossible. This might get you down, cause you problems, and end up derailing your attempts to further yourself beyond your current level of success. So, can manifestation help a problem like this?\n\nActually, it can. \n\nManifesting your desire to get more done is actually VERY doable… you just have to go through the process from beginning to end. I’m going to outline the steps for using manifestation to get more accomplished at work. \n\n1…Take stock of what you need to accomplish\nTake a second to really think about everything that you have to do. Think about the challenges, and think about how easy it could be if you could just focus more. Think about how much more successful you will be if you could really commit yourself to getting a consistent amount of work done each day. \n\n2… Visualize your wor

5 Keys to Being an Effective Delegator

Anne Bachrach — Sun, 13 Oct 2019 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Delegation is one of the many keys to success, but it is, surprisingly, one of the weakest points for many leaders. Believe it or not, there are A LOT of leaders in small business who do not know how to delegate effectively. There can be a number of reasons for having difficulty in the delegation department, most of them related to the inability of the leader to relinquish control. A lot of leaders want to be in control of everything, but don’t realize that this mentality can sap time and energy that could better be spent moving them to the next level of success. \n\nIf a leader fails to realize this, then they could very well use up all of their valuable time performing tasks that COULD be done by someone else. Since they are using their time on these things, the leader will usually suffer from an inability to grow, and will often feel pressured. They can also feel like nobody understands what is wanted or needed, and can begin to feel very alone in a professional sense. \n\n“Surround yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't interfere as long as the policy you've decided upon is being carried out.” -Ronald Reagan\n\nKey #1… Understand What It Means To Delegate\nDelegating a job to someone underneath you is not always easy, especially at first… but it is an essential part of growth, and you will likely find that you will be unable to move forward with any kind of speed if you do not have what it takes to turn a project over to someone else. Having said this, it is important that you do not simply delegate to delegate. This decision must be made with great care and professionalism. \n\nDelegating to the wrong person could be a catastrophe! However, if you do have the option to hand the project to someone below you who is capable of seeing it through to the end, then you will have the opportunity to TRULY realize how much power there is in the ability to pass things off to trusted employees or colleagues. This is what delegation is. You are giving something very important to someone who you trust, so that they can finish it for you. It is really that simple. You need to be able to communicate the needs of the project, as well as your need to be informed when certain milestones are reached. \n\nDelegation, if executed correctly, can free you up to do the things that you have to do. Being able to step away from projects that could hold you back is a huge bonus! Just remember, however, that great care must be taken to ensure tha

5 Ways to Be Even More Productive

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 12 Sep 2019 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "We can always be even more productive. Time is a very valuable resource, and if you really think about it, being productive is one of the best ways to ensure that you are using your time effectively. As a successful business owner, you no doubt realize just how important productivity is. You have likely done a great deal to ensure that your employees follow procedures that are designed to make them more productive. You have also doubtlessly mastered the ability to keep working and getting things done, even when you are in danger of being distracted or losing focus. \n\nBut what about those days when it seems like you just can’t focus on anything? How can you stay productive when your usual strength of mind just doesn’t seem to cut it? In this article, we are going to talk about 5 ways to be more productive. These methods can be used at any time to help you to keep your work output high so that you can move towards the next level with no setbacks and minimal frustration. \n\n“At the end of each day you should play back the tapes of your performance.\nThe results should either applaud you or prod you.”\n--Jim Rohn\n\n1… Keep Your Work Area Free Of Clutter\nBelieve it or not, clutter can definitely kill your workday. Having needless piles of paperwork or supplies covering your workspace will not only be problematic as you try to get things accomplished, but it can also psychologically cause your brain to wane in the productivity department. Finding a way to keep your desk cleaned and organized will keep you ahead of the game when the time comes to get to work…especially if you are working for yourself and need to be a self-starter. \n\n2… Plan When You Will Make Your High Payoff Phone Calls\nMaking phone calls can eat up time, especially if you start dialing and leaving messages. Besides, you never know what might come up on short notice that could interrupt you. If you are trying to get two things done already, plus being available to subordinates, PLUS trying to make phone calls, you will likely not be able to give ANY of the tasks the kind of attention that they deserve. In order to maximize your efforts, consider scheduling phone calls for a particular time. Pick a time when you will have the highest probability to achieve the desired results and not be distracted with other things. Sometimes making calls first thing in the morning can be the best time to get good results. \n\n3… Skip Some Meetings\n\n\"Meetings are a waste of time unless you are closing

Slots & Replication Exercise for More Quickly Adding Clients

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 05 Sep 2019 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Have you ever thought about buying a new car and then you see that car everywhere you look when driving around town? When we think and focus on something, it makes it easier for us to create more reality around achieving or obtaining that. \n\nCheck out the “Slots and Replication” exercise and worksheet to more quickly and easily help you add more ideal clients. When you clearly articulate the attributes and character of your ideal clients, you can create and activate a system for replicating them, also known as gathering referrals. This system of asking for and getting quality referrals is the lifeblood of the successful financial services practice and the only way to reach the ultimate goal of having a full community of great clients that you serve. If you are operating your business as a Trusted Advisor, you can expect your clients to willingly, eagerly, and graciously shower you with the mother lode of referrals.\n\nI was recently talking with an Advisor who has 22 Ideal Clients. First of all, that is awesome for him. Now all he needs to do is replicate them to get the balance of the 28 Ideal Clients he wants to add to his community so he will be in a position to just serve those 50 Ideal Clients. We walked through how he can easily and quickly get referrals from his 22 Ideal Clients that would give him more than enough people in the pool to get his final 28 Ideal Clients. Easy peasy! \n\nTo download your complimentary slots and replication exercise and worksheet, go to: https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/slots-replication-worksheet/.\n\nIf you need assistance with creating or updating your Ideal Client Profile, take advantage of my online exercise under the Free Silver Membership (https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/inner-circle-store/).

The Value of Being Consistent

Anne Bachrach — Fri, 30 Aug 2019 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "There is nothing stopping you from changing directions or tracks and doing something the polar opposite of what you are previously doing. As an entrepreneur, you have absolute authority and control over your actions and decisions. No one is going to stop you from doing what you like. You can choose to destroy the business which you have built from scratch. People would mind but they cannot stop you from doing so. Whatever you choose to do, make sure you are consistent with your behavior. \n\nThe Importance of Being Consistent\nWhen you set goals for yourself, you keep your abilities and capacity to perform in mind. You know that if you performed optimally for the near future, you would be able to meet those goals. Hence, you have to be consistent with your performance to achieve the goals you set for your business. If you perform below your capacity or don’t make use of your abilities, your business would suffer. Simply speaking, you have to be consistent to achieve your goals and fulfill what is truly important to you in life. \n\nIn the same way, you have to be consistent with your decisions and actions. For instance, if you give an employee a slap on the wrist for an infraction, you would have the same in the future if any other employee committed the same offense. Handing out a punishment greater or lesser than the one you gave the previous employee would demoralize one of the two (depending on the punishment). \n\nAs you can see, consistency is important for any successful business person. Consistency helps you maintain a sense of stability in what you do. This rubs off on your business and you can take it towards a level where it becomes stable as well. There are some other ways in which consistency could be the key to your success. \n\nContradictions Are Roadblocks\nIf you are consistent, you will achieve what you set out to achieve. Only extremely bad luck can stop you from attaining the success you envisaged. However, inconsistency of behavior could be the stumbling block which you fall over and all your ambitions of taking your business to the next level crumble to pieces. You need to have perfect symmetry between your thoughts, actions and decisions. For an entrepreneur, being consistent is perhaps one of the most important factors to achieve success. \n\nOn the other hand, contradictions between your words and actions lead to chaos in your personal and professional life. You won’t be able to concentrate on the business. Rather, your mind would

4 Commitments That Can Impact Your Success

Anne Bachrach — Fri, 23 Aug 2019 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Have you ever made a commitment to yourself or someone and for whatever reason, didn’t follow through? \n\nThere are numerous definitions for the word “commitment.” The most basic definition is that of an “act of voluntarily taking on and fulfilling obligations.” This is actually further specified as a “personal” commitment, as opposed to a professional or organizational commitment. The voluntary nature of personal commitment is what makes it so personal. However, this does not mean that a commitment has to relate only to personal interests, such as human relationships or core beliefs. Any objective can be approached with a personal commitment, a voluntary taking on of all obligations. A commitment can be given to any number of projects and causes, including an organization, a team, a faith group, or to another person. \n\nWhat Does Commitment Mean to You?\n\nMany successful people in business and life have commented that commitment is a very important factor in individual success. This is usually because the individual is the one that must spearhead his or her own cause for a period of time, at least until others can join in the cause. In order for any venture to be successful, action must first be taken, and commitment is what incites people to action. Commitment involves not only pledging one’s self to a purpose, but also practicing this system of belief on a regular basis. Defining commitment as persistence alone would be inaccurate; it is persistence with a purpose or goal, and built upon a foundation of logic that is closely linked with a person (or group’s) core beliefs.\n\nSome of the most successful businesspersons in modern times, as well and throughout history, are people that have been described as “committed” to their career or cause. They are usually not people of exceptional genius, nor have they built an empire based on dumb luck. They are individuals that have held firmly to a set of commitments and seen these commitments through. One could even say that these commitments, though largely professional, have been religiously followed through. Religious devotion is a powerful thing, as it can bring a man willingly to his deathbed, perhaps even giving him a state of calm and esoteric happiness. This same devotion, this commitment, is applicable to any field. It all depends on how passionate and committed the individual is to making the project work.\n\nMany great minds in contemporary society are more than willing to share th

Are Limiting Beliefs Impacting Your Success?

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 13 Aug 2019 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Limiting beliefs refers to a belief system that is self-inhibiting. This system discourages exploration of what we understand as a “wider cognitive space.” The beliefs created and perpetuated in this type of system are strongly held, often due to heavy emotional attachment. (For example, a parent’s faith passed onto a new generation.) Interestingly, self-limiting beliefs have been observed in both human beings and animals. Of what importance, though, is the idea of “limited beliefs” to you? \n\nThe first question is where limiting beliefs come from. A person’s upbringing and parental stability is an important factor in determining origins of belief. However, other factors such as a person’s own self-image, and their personal perceptions of the world (based on experience and learning) also contribute. Consider some examples of self-limiting beliefs. As you read over them, you will find that these beliefs are not so scientific at all, but very relatable statements that you might hear from friends and acquaintances. (Perhaps even from your own mouth.)\n\n•\t“This is my destiny. I cannot escape it.”\n•\t“I have to do this, because no one else can.”\n•\t“It’s just what people expect of me.”\n•\t“I’m just like my father and I can’t change that.”\n•\t“If I tell someone the truth, they will take their business elsewhere.”\n•\t“I’ve always gotten this result so anything else is unrealistic.” \n\nAll of these statements allude to limiting beliefs that assign specific qualities to the person that cannot be escaped or changed. These qualities could be capabilities, roles, or traits. The person may feel burdened to continue their path (however dangerous or miserable) because of a need to follow this limiting belief. The truth of the matter is that the person is choosing their own path and they cannot fathom having to stop the cycle and think outside this predetermined life.\n\n•\t“I can’t do it. I know I can’t.”\n•\t“There’s no point in even trying.”\n\nThese statements are alluding to limiting beliefs, in which the person decides he or she cannot succeed, and so there is no point in trying. This is not so much a quality of overall cynicism or pessimism; rather, a lack of self-confidence that doesn’t allow the person to broaden their horizons or think of a scenario that involves their success for a change. Does the person’s argument have validity, in that he or she claims under-qualification for a task at hand? In some cases this could be true. For

How to Get Motivated When You’re Feeling Uninspired

Anne Bachrach — Sat, 03 Aug 2019 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "We all have those days when we just don’t feel like doing the work associated with achieving our goals, so the question is: How do you get motivated when you’re feeling uninspired?\n\nIt’s as simple as finding the motivating factor - the thing that will inspire you to take the next step.\n\nBut what if the thing that normally motivates you isn’t working today – right now when you need it? How do you get motivated and inspired to do what you need to do?\n\nFind a new motivator.\n\nFirst, identify your usual motivating factor by clarifying what normally leads you to action: The pleasure of achieving the desired end result or the pain of avoiding an unwanted result.\n\nIn other words, every decision you make is based on the positive attraction to the pleasure of the benefits (pleasure) or in the negative avoidance of the pain of the penalties (pain). \n\nWhen you find the dominant motivator (pleasure or pain) all you have to do is leverage it to inspire you to take action.\n\nFor instance, some days you may be motivated by pleasure, other days it might be by pain. Pay attention to the days you feel especially inspired to get motivated. Are those days when you feel most inspired driven predominantly by pleasure of the doing or pain of not doing? (This is your usual motivating factor.)\n\nTip: Log your personal motivators in a journal or notebook to identify your personal motivators and patterns to help you better manage your actions and goal achievement.\n\nWhen you discover your personal motivator factor, you know what to switch up on the days when you feel uninspired. \n\nIf you’re feeling uninspired, start by asking yourself these questions:\n\nWhat are the Results If I Do The Work?\nThis is the pleasure motivator…when you’re motivated to do the work because of the benefits it brings.\n\nIf you’re feeling uninspired, this is the first question to ask yourself. You may not feel like going to the gym, but the benefits of doing the work inspires you to take the action you need in order to achieve the end results.\n\nAsk yourself:\nWhat are the end results when I do the work?\n\nKeep going:\nAre the end results, regardless of the work that has to be done at this moment, enough to motivate me? Is my desire for the end results deep enough to get me to do what I need to do now to achieve a future goal?\n\nIf you’re inspired to do the work, you’ve found your motivating factor. Take action NOW, before your inspiration wavers!\n\nWhat are the Results If I Don’t Do

5 Ideas to Reduce the Biggest Time Wasters

Anne Bachrach — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 10:55:10 -0700

[[:encoded, "Have you ever thought to yourself: “If only I had more time?” \n\nYou can do anything you set your mind to—even the things that that you think you don’t have time for! \n\nHow is this possible? By scheduling time for what’s important as well as what is fun. Of course, along with this schedule, you have to take certain steps to eliminate time wasters. What are time wasters? Time wasters can be anything, from an inanimate object to a full living and breathing person. It is important that you first learn how to identify a time waster and then learn how to stop this person, place, or thing from distracting you. Let’s start by listing some of the most common time wasters. \n\n1. There’s no question that computers and a high-speed Internet connection can provide many valuable services to you. However, these tools are among the worst time wasters in existence. Some companies have actually banned Internet usage during working hours. If banning the Internet is not an option for you, then at least make it a rule that you will not open any computer programs that are not directly related to your work. If you catch your hand slowly approaching your mouse with the intent to surf, catch yourself and get back to work. This fasting from interactive entertainment also includes avoiding blogs, email, and instant messaging services. What can you do about important emails? If you have a problem with time-consuming emails then you might consider creating a separate email account for all your professional contacts. That way, you won’t be distracted by any forwarded messages or alerts from friends. Even better, ask your friends to not include you in the personal emails they like to send to other friends. You may even choose to only check email one or two times during the day, and for a specific period of time – one time not being the first thing in the morning when you arrive at work. \n\n2. Interruptions from phones, team members, or pop-in visitors can be very distracting. Human beings have a natural inclination to sit around and chat. There’s certainly nothing wrong with this pastime, and there is no need to be rude with your peers, associates, friends, and neighbors. However, you do need to set some rules down and inform everyone who adores your company that during certain working hours you are unavailable. This applies to team members also. You create set meeting times when others can meet with you.\n\n3. Unless you work on the phone, you may choose t

3 Steps to Achieving Your Goals Sooner Rather than Later

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 11 Jul 2019 06:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "It’s so easy to set goals in life. How many people actually take the time to set specific life goals? Not many of us, is my guess. You want to make more money. You want to enjoy more productive relationships with friends and acquaintances. You want to make a difference in the lives of others. You want more responsibility in your career. Unfortunately, while all these goals are admirable, they are also very broad. Most people fantasize about being rich, famous, and well liked. However, these are not necessarily goals. These are common images of success that the media wants us to believe in. Human beings are programmed by books, television, movies and Internet to believe in someone else’s values. After all, did you ever want to be Bill Gates before you knew he was filthy rich? Better yet, did you ever want to be filthy rich before you knew that money could buy you luxurious accommodations, fun new gadgets, and exclusive world travel?\n\nStep 1: Know the Difference between Dreaming and Doing\n\nWhen a person claims that making a lot of money is his or her “goal”, they are not truly seeing the future. A person who is “destined” for success, programs their own mind to achieve something remarkable but feasible. A person that is motivated to achieve a goal does not think in terms of failure and winning. (As in, I failed at becoming a millionaire. So, it’s not meant to be.) Rather, this person follows a set path towards their final destination. To the successful person, succeeding in life is a daily responsibility, one full of setbacks and solutions. The successful person doesn’t merely think in terms of “becoming rich” overnight. They study the path towards financial freedom, as handed down by others, and create a feasible and specific plan to increase their profit through the years. They learn about their chosen industry.

5 Questions to Ask When You’re Not Motivated Toward Goals

Anne Bachrach — Fri, 21 Jun 2019 04:00:45 -0700

[[:encoded, "Even the most motivated of achievers can sometimes feel unmotivated. So, what do you do in those crucial moments of inner negotiation - do I commit to two steps forward or relent to two steps backwards - and how do you justify your decision? \n\nWhat if not being motivated to achieve your goals is a sign of a deeper, unresolved issue? Here are five questions to uncover the possible reasons you’re not motivated to achieve your goals:\n\n1. Do I Really Want This?\nBefore you start discounting yourself as being weak or a failure, ask yourself if you really want this. Do you really want the end result? Do you want it bad enough to do whatever it takes to achieve it? If the answer is no to either question, it’s pretty obvious why you may not be motivated to doing the work the goal requires to actually achieve it.\n\nAchieving your goals doesn’t necessarily have to be hard, but it can be challenging for any number of reasons. If you don’t have enough fire, passion, and desire to achieve a goal, the process is likely going to be a lot harder than it has to be.\n\nTip: Stick to goals that you want bad enough that the decision to do what you need to do, in order to achieve it, is easy. \n\n2. If I Don’t Want This, What Do I Want?\nIf you’ve asked yourself, do I really want this? and “no” was the answer - there’s only one remaining question to ask:\n\nIf I don’t want this, what do I really want?\n\nThe answer may require some soul searching or big dreaming; just be sure it’s something that has enough desire to pull you through the “work” of achieving the goal.\n\nTip: Committing to goals you don’t really want serves little purpose. Instead, craft goals you desire with your heart, guts, and soul - those goals that inspire you to do the work required. These types of goals will get you excited and motivate you to achieving them.\n\n3. What’s My Big Why?\nIn the middle of doing the “work” of goal achievement, it’s easy to lose sight of why you’re doing it. When you find you’re not motivated to keep going, focus on the emotional reason behind why you made the initial commitment. So ask yourself:\n\n•\tWho/what inspired me to make the initial commitment to this goal?\n•\tIs my reasoning behind the commitment (my big why) still a high priority - a high enough priority to continue my commitment to doing whatever it takes – and nothing less?\n\nIf the answer is yes, connect to your big why. It’s as easy as reminding yourself of the emotion that prompted your initial commitm

Tips for Effective Multi-Tasking for Business Professionals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 20 Jun 2019 13:16:41 -0700

[[:encoded, "Multi-tasking can sometimes have a bad rap. It has been said that multi-tasking in any form is something you should never do, but as an entrepreneur, it’s almost a daily necessity. There are simply not enough hours in the day for you to afford “playing it by ear.” Your life and profession are under constant reprioritization, that’s the nature of being an entrepreneur. Don’t be intimidated by the rumors; multi-tasking can be an effective way to handle your workload. We are going to talk about several tips for effective multi-tasking. \n\nTraits of Effective Multi-tasking \n•\tGroup like tasks together\n•\tCreate a to-do list\n•\tDefined goals with the end result \n•\tBudgeted time/schedule \n•\tRemove distractions\n•\tUndivided attention and focus\n\nEffective multi-tasking for entrepreneurs is all about having a system in place to handle tasks with the greatest efficiency. First, you need to create a To-Do List or Master Task List; this will help you to see the big picture of the day’s duties and help keep you on track throughout the day. The goal is for the To-Do List to help you prioritize the “must do” tasks and complete them before the deadline. \n\nThat brings me to my next point, multi-tasking for professional and personal tasks should be handled in the same manner for entrepreneurs, because time is always of the essence. It is about being the most efficient and productive, 24/7, because your profit, or lack thereof, is always directly affected by your personal time. \n\nOne of the best tips for effective multi-tasking is to set a deadline for when these tasks need to get done. Being reminded of the goal that you are working toward will help motivate you to work with the greatest efficiency and within your deadline. Whether the motivation comes from money, the excitement of achieving a goal or the benefits of the end results, it makes no difference, as long as it motivates you to work with the greatest focus. \n\nIneffective Multi-tasking behaviors and traits include:\n•\tCombining irrelevant tasks together\n•\tUndefined goals\n•\tSetting an indefinite deadline\n•\tWorking with distractions\n•\tContinually switching gears without accomplishing anything\n•\tLack of focus \n\nThere’s a huge difference between effective multi-tasking and cramming unrelated tasks together. You’ve already learned what it takes for effective multi-tasking, now let’s take a look at what ineffective multi-tasking looks like. \n\nOne of the most common mistakes i

7 Tips to Help You Find Meaning in Your Work

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 20 Jun 2019 13:07:52 -0700

[[:encoded, "Feel like something is missing in your career? You’re not alone. It’s not uncommon for professionals to feel like something is missing in their work, even when things appear to be really good. Is it possible to find success and meaning? Use these 7 tips to help you find meaning in your work / career.\n\n1. Choose a New Career Path or Expand Your Firm\nMaybe it’s time to try something new? You may be an adventure-type and find boredom in routine and monotony. Try a new career path that engages your interests to reignite your passions. It may not require a complete life change; perhaps you could choose a new track or specialty within your current industry or expand the products and services of your firm.\n\n2. Turn Your Passions into Profits\nIf finding meaning in your work is high on your priority list, then turning your passions into profits is a sure way to find it. Now more than ever overwhelmed entrepreneurs are scrapping profit for passion and making a business out of doing what they love. If you’ve got a passion, there’s typically a way to monetize it.\n\n3. Explore New Hobbies\nIt’s not uncommon to have to wade through a bit of fog and uncertainty before you find a passion strong enough to build a career or business upon. If this is you, explore new hobbies in your personal time, before committing to them long-term. Try the things that peak your curiosity – even try things that you may not have previously considered – until you find something that keeps your interests and passions peaked.\n\n4. Necessity vs. Meaning\nWe’ve all been there….we feel trapped in a career or business because it provides necessity, in some form or another. Whether it’s the paycheck or retirement fund – security is part of what we’re after. The problem comes when insecurity prevents us from finding meaning or fulfillment. Even worse, it could be stopping us from reaching our greatest potential. Don’t let the fear and discomfort of change stop you from going for it!\n\n5. What’s Really Important?\nIf there is some aspect of your work that is causing disharmony or struggle, it’s worth examining what’s really important. At the heart of disharmony is the fact that some aspect of your life or career is not in alignment with who you really are and what you really want (your core values). Ask yourself this question: What are you being forced to give up in order to gain something else (and is it really giving up something that is serving you anyway – probably not)? How important is

3 Steps to Discover Why You May Be Sabotaging Your Success

Anne Bachrach — Sat, 18 May 2019 07:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about What’s Really Behind the Overwhelm? 3 Steps to Discovering Why You May Be Sabotaging Your Success.\n\nBusiness owners are especially prone to overwhelm because it’s not uncommon for them to juggle multiple aspects of their business at any one time. But how much of what you think you need to handle do you actually need to handle? \n\nWhat if overwhelm is actually part of your self-sabotaging behavior being played out?\n\nOverwhelm is not a necessary evil of being an entrepreneur - it’s a symptom of an underlying issue. In three easy steps, you can find out if self-sabotaging behavior is creating unnecessary overwhelm in your business and life.\n\nStep #1: Consider the Why\nWhen you understand why you do anything, you discover why you do everything. From understanding the “why,” it’s possible to see the patterns of self-sabotaging behavior being played out in your everyday life. (Yes, creating overwhelm is one of those self-sabotaging behaviors.)\n\nIf you frequently or consistently struggle with overwhelm, there may be a self-sabotaging behavior behind it. The trick is to identify the “why” behind the self-sabotage. Common reasons for overwhelm may include:\n\n- Behavior based in limiting beliefs\n- Fear of failure/success\n- Lack of focus/discipline\n- Avoidance/procrastination\n- Lack of interest/inspiration/motivation\n- Refusal to give up total control/delegate\n\nThere is a “why” behind everything you do - or don’t do. The question is are you engaging in behavior being driven by limiting beliefs that lead to self-sabotage or empowering beliefs that lead to success? It’s pretty simple: if you’re not producing results you want, you can bet there are self-sabotaging behaviors being played out in your personal or professional life.\n\nFirst, let’s establish that everyone has self-sabotaging behaviors - even peak performers like professional athletes and Olympic competitors (which is why they hire professional coaches!). These specialized coaches help them identify (and shift) the behaviors that keep them from achieving optimal performance. \n\nWhen you know the self-sabotaging behaviors that are keeping you from achieving the best results, you know which behaviors must change in order to create even better results. It’s fairly easy to know what you should be doing…it’s not always so easy to discipline yourself to do those things. However, if you can identify self-sabotaging behaviors and discipline yourself to change them,

How to Make the Right Choice in 3 Simple Steps

Anne Bachrach — Wed, 01 May 2019 19:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about How to Make the Right Choice in 3 Simple Steps.\n\nYou’ve been making choices every day since you were a child, yet sometimes it can feel like you are the most inexperienced decision-maker in the world. You feel uncertain about which choice to make and how your decision will ultimately affect your life. When faced with a decision that could alter the course of your life, how do you make the right choice?\n\nThe first step in any choice is to determine where you want to be. Getting clear on your goals will help you make choices that are in line with your vision. Once you get clear on your goals, it can be much easier to see how the results of your choices will lead you either closer to your goals – or further away.\n\nHere’s how you can learn to make the right choice in three simple steps.\n\nStep 1: Write Your List of Long-Term Goals\n\nYou may have a lot of long-term goals, but for now, just start with the ten most important to you. Once you have had time to focus on this short list, feel free to expand it to include ALL of your long-term goals. \n\nHere’s an example:\n\nMy Long-Term Goals\n1.\tHave $7,500 saved to take two vacations per year (starting 2014) to exotic places by 6/1/14.\n2.\tBuy new house with 15% down payment $90,000 by 10/1/2015\n3.\tPay off mortgage ($_______) by 12/31/2030 \n4.\t$5.2 million saved for retirement/financial future by 12/31/2021\n5.\tRetire by age 54: 2/23/2022\n6.\tSell house by 9/30/2015 \n7.\tDonate 5% of net income each year to charitable organizations that have personal meaning (Susan G. Komen Foundation and Habitat for Humanity) starting 1/1/2015\n8.\tComplete a full Ironman Triathlon in under 17 hours - 10/31/2016\n9.\tPlay golf 2 times per month starting 4/1/2013 \n10.\tImprove health and fitness-lose 25 pounds, and be at180 lbs by 7/1/2014\t\t\n11.\tRead fun books 1 per quarter starting 1/1/2013\n12.\tGet 1 massage per month starting 1/1/2014\t\n13.\tContinue to have date night with my significant other 2 times per month starting 1/15/13\n\nMy Long-Term Goals\n1.\t\n2.\t\n3.\t\n4.\t\n5.\t\n\nNow that you have identified your long-term goals, you can identify your short-term goals. Don’t over-analyze or critique your answers, just go with what you really want now, today, tomorrow, this week, within one month, or in the near future. \n\nStep 2: Write Your List of Short-Term Goals\n\nHere’s an example:\n\nMy Short-Term Goals (Must be measurable, specific and include specific

Referral/Prospect Tracking Spreadsheet - Free SAMPLE

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 07:30:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about the Referral/Prospect Tracking Spreadsheet – SAMPLE – Free Download.\n\nIn my work with business professionals over the many years I have been coaching, I find that they often say to me that they have prospects that they haven’t followed up with (for whatever reason), or they lost track of some of the referrals people gave them. First of all, it’s hard to believe that someone wouldn’t have a process for tracking their referrals/prospects because that is potential revenue – but apparently this happens and probably more than it should. So, I came up with a simple tracking spreadsheet to help my clients better know who they have in their pool of prospects, in order for them to know where their prospective clients are at in their pipeline, and they don’t lose anyone (or drown them) on the way.\n\nDid you know that according to the National Sales Executive Associates, they say that: \n•\t48% of Sales People Never follow up with a Prospect\n•\t25% of Sales People Make a Second Contact and Stop\n•\t12% of Sales People Only Make Three Contacts and Stop\n•\tOnly 10% of Sales People Make More Than Three Contacts\n•\t2% of Sales are made on the First Contact\n•\t3% of Sales are made on the Second Contact\n•\t5% of Sales are made on the Third Contact\n•\t10% of Sales are made on the Fourth Contact\n•\t80% of Sales are made on the fifth to the Twelfth Contact\n\nWhat does that say to me? Being professionally persistent, brings in REVENUE.\n\nTo download my complimentary referral tracking spreadsheet to help you increase your revenue, so you can accelerate your results, go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/referral-tracking-workbook/.

8 Ideas to Help You Work Smarter and Not Harder

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 11 Apr 2019 07:30:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 8 Ideas to Help You Work Smarter and Not Harder.\n\nDo you think working harder will get you farther? Not necessarily. In this fast-paced society, many professionals are already running at full tilt, so going faster may lead to burn-out, or worse, complete physical and emotional shutdown. So how do you get more done without working harder? This is key to work life balance success. Let’s take a look at these 8 ideas for working smarter, not harder.\n\n1. Leverage Your Strengths, Delegate the Rest\nFor optimal results, focus on the tasks that leverage your strengths. The goal with any successful business or project is to assign the team member that can deliver the best results with the least effort and greatest effectiveness. If you want to make an easier go at it, know your strengths and focus on performing only the tasks that leverage those strengths.\n\nTIP: To download a Free Delegation List Sample to help you identify more activities to delegate, go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/delegation-list-sample/. \n\n2. Filter Your Info Intake\nOn any given day, you are bombarded with mass amounts of information that can significantly drag down your productivity and cause confusion, overwhelm, and procrastination. Data is essential for making informed decisions, but beware of information overload. Only take in the information that is vital to achieving your goals and the goals of your firm – everything else is superfluous.\n\nTIP: Delegate the biggest information sources (email, research, data collection, data entry, etc.) to a team member or a consulting firm. Limit your information exposure to only the pertinent sources, while the team takes on the responsibility of flagging important information for your select review and firm growth.\n\n3. Streamline Your Daily Duties\nDo not try to do it all yourself. The ability to focus your energy on the most important tasks of the day has a direct effect on the quality of the results. Therefore, it’s vital that you streamline your daily duties to only the most important tasks that require your focused attention, and those things that only you can do and can’t be done by someone else. \n\nTIP: Create a daily schedule of the most important and highest payoff tasks of the day – and stick to it (not always easy but critical to your success). Reduce and eliminate the non-essential duties (the tasks that are either not in alignment with your core values and/or are not income-generating

5 Tips for Exploring Your Life Purpose

Anne Bachrach — Wed, 03 Apr 2019 07:15:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 5 Tips for Exploring Your Life Purpose.\n\nIf you’ve ever wondered if there was more to life than what you’re currently experiencing, you’ll find this discussion helpful. First, let’s clarify that identifying your life purpose isn’t the end all - you still have find a way to integrate it into a life, that for most of us, has been built on necessity or security. Yes, we all have bills to pay; but selling your soul (so to speak) in the name of security isn’t necessarily the way it has to be.\n\nI’m all for fueling your passions, but I’m also a firm believer in smart and strategic business decisions. My advice is to take this process slowly. If you love what you do, find a way to work your life purpose into your career or business. If you don’t love what you do, then explore other avenues that support a solid business foundation and purpose.\n\nThese 5 tips will help you explore your life purpose and find more meaning in your life as well as your profession.\n\n1. What Fuels You?\nWhat in your life gives you energy? Most of us know what it feels like to be drained (by personal dramas, professional conflicts, too many obligations, financial stress, etc.), but do you know what fuels you? Perhaps you already know you just don’t have time for it. Pay attention to the things that give you life as they are clues to what you really love to do (and you may be able to monetize them).\n\n2. Play the What-If Game\nThe “What-if” Game is where you ask a series of questions starting with “What if?” \n\nWhat-if I didn’t have to work - how would I choose to spend my time?\nWhat-if I could make money any way I wanted - what would that look like?\nWhat-if I didn’t have to ________________ - what would I want to do?\nWhat-if I could live anywhere in the world - where would I live?\nWhat-if I followed my dreams…what would that look like?\nWhat-if I went back to school - what would I like to study?\nWhat-if I created a new program and/or service, what would it look like?\nWhat-if I had a board of Ideal Clients for my firm, what impact would they have on my business and life?\n\nYou get the idea….\n\nWhat is really important to you in life? What are your core values? To explore what your core values are, download my complimentary exercise by going to http://www.accountabilitycoach.com/values-clarification/.\n\n3.

4 Sabotaging Habits that Prevent You from Boosting Revenue

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 14 Mar 2019 07:30:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "As a business owner, it’s important to recognize how valuable your time is - and how you choose to spend it.\n\nYes, the bookkeeping is important, and so is voice-mail and email, but those tasks are not directly responsible for generating revenue, and are better left to be managed by someone else.\n\nAre you guilty of focusing on the less important (low-payoff) tasks when you should be actively engaged with the most important (high-payoff) tasks? If you have ever been guilty of this, continue listening to discover four common self-sabotaging habits that keep business owners from the revenue and success they want and deserve.\n\n1. Wasting Time on Low-Payoff Tasks\nAs the business owner, you are a valuable piece of the revenue-generating and business development puzzle. If you are sitting at a desk spending the majority of your time on low-payoff tasks, you don’t have the time to focus upon the most important part of your business: generating revenue.\n\nWould you hire a $100-an-hour team member to do a $20-an-hour task? Not likely. This is the same reasoning behind why you shouldn’t be the company bookkeeper or receptionist. (This is not to say that these tasks are not important, but they are not directly related to driving immediate revenue; hence, they are low-payoff tasks).\n\nYour sole focus should be upon the high-payoff tasks, aka. the revenue-generating tasks. All low-payoff tasks should be completely removed from your schedule and delegated to a virtual assistant or team member so you can focus your energy on the high-payoff tasks.\n\nTIP: Doing low payoff activities are what I call revenue generating avoidance activities. You may not like doing some revenue generation and business development activities, but you may be the best and maybe the only person to do it and get it done. \n\n2. Ignoring High-Payoff Tasks\nDo you know what you need to be doing to boost revenue - but you’re not doing it or doing it on a consistent basis? Perhaps the fear of doing tasks outside your comfort zone is stopping you from doing the very thing that will make all the difference in your business revenue and ultimate success? \n\nLet’s be clear: if you own your own business, you must become very astute at recognizing, and completing, the high-payoff tasks or you will soon be out of business.\n\nLet’s say you’re the creative genius type; the sales part of your business isn’t your thing. You could hire a sales team to help drive in some sales, but at some point you’re g

6 Ways Negative Client Feedback Makes Your Business Better

Anne Bachrach — Fri, 08 Mar 2019 07:41:54 -0800

[[:encoded, "There’s no doubt about it, handling negative client feedback can be downright uncomfortable. No one likes to listen to complaints and no one wants to be criticized or rejected by anyone; even by a client. We’re human; it stings when we fall short of a goal or when we don’t receive the approval we crave.\n\nBut what if you could get past the discomfort of negative client feedback to discover the benefits that will make your business even better? \n\nOkay, let’s get to the 6 Ways Negative Client Feedback Makes Your Business Better…\n\nWay #1. It Shows You’re Committed to Your Clients\nDealing with less than glowing client feedback, head on and objectively, shows you are committed to ensuring your clients have a positive experience. It’s this commitment to serve them to the best of your ability that attracts more clients. When you’re committed to your clients, they’re committed to your business.\n\nWay #2. It’s Not Personal; It’s Perception\nInstead of getting defensive about what went wrong in the client experience, you learn that it doesn’t have anything to do with you. Negative client feedback isn’t a reflection of how you failed or fell short; rather it’s a reflection on the client’s perception of the experience. Client perception is everything. When you can identify the breakdown in the process that changed the client’s perception from positive to negative, you just identified the kink in the system. Remove the kink, improve the system, change the perception.\n\nWay #3. Find Out What They Want\nWhen a client offers feedback (negative or positive) it’s a prime opportunity to learn what they really want. When Ideal Clients offer less than favorable feedback, identify what they really want - and deliver it. One word of caution: don’t go changing effective policy to please just one. The goal here is to pay attention to the feedback you receive from Ideal Clients - because they are your target market. Receive all feedback with an open mind, keeping in mind that your goal is to serve Ideal Clients to the best of your ability.\n\nWay #4. Brainstorm Creative Solutions\nClient feedback also allows a “springboard” from which creative solutions can be brainstormed. Don’t be afraid to be innovative and forward-thinking. If an Ideal Client is seeking a service or product that you’re not currently offering (and it will attract more Ideal Clients) - how can you implement it?

9 Tips for Inspiring Referrals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 07 Feb 2019 06:30:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 9 Tips for Inspiring Referrals.\n\nGetting new clients can be one of the biggest challenges in building a business; however, leveraging the power of referrals can dramatically reduce the expense and energy of building your client base. Many businesses focus on the externals of inspiring referrals, so we’re going to focus on the internals. As you know, you are the hub of your business - it can only be successful to the extent you are willing to grow and learn. Before you can inspire referrals, it’s important to get clear on the basics: \n\nTip #1: Get Clear and Focused\nEver run into someone at a networking event who seems confused or vague about what they do? They’re either not clear (or can’t convey) on what exactly they do or whom exactly they can help. Before you can inspire referrals, you must get very clear and focused about what you specifically do and for whom. \n\nTip #2: Establish Expertise\nYou don’t have to be the best in the industry; you have to be the best at what you do. Establishing expertise is much easier when you focus on doing what you do best. Find that thing you do that no one else does and leverage it by marketing it when you ask for referrals.\n\nTip #3: Know Who You Love Working With\nTo spark inspiration in others, you must be authentically passionate about whom you love to help. When you love your clients, the passion will show in your dialog and expressions, inspiring others to refer clients. Would you rather refer clients to someone who appears drab and bored with their business - or someone who appears genuine, passionate and capable? \n\nTip #4: Know Your Ideal Clients\nIn order to serve your clients to the best of your ability, you must know them - inside and out. What drives their passion or purpose? What makes them tick? What are their biggest challenges? How do you specifically solve them? How do they spend their leisure time? When you know your ideal clients, and can authentically relate to them, it’s easier to describe them to the network connections that can send you referrals. The idea here is to grasp a broad snapshot of your ideal clients.\n\nTip #5: Describe Your Ideal Clients in 10 Words or Less\nA unique, genuine and concise client description will inspire referrals. Knowing your clients on the deepest level (as we discussed in tip #4) is only one part of the process; the other is being able to clearly and concisely describe them. Follow this 4-Step Exercise to create a unique and

5 ?s to Ask When You’re Not Motivated to Achieve Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Sun, 20 Jan 2019 04:01:32 -0800

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 5 Questions to Ask When You’re Not Motivated to Achieve Your Goals.\n\nEven the most motivated of achievers can sometimes feel unmotivated. So, what do you do in those crucial moments of inner negotiation - do I commit to two steps forward or relent to two steps backwards - and how do you justify your decision? \n\nWhat if not being motivated to achieve your goals is a sign of a deeper, unresolved issue? We are going to talk about the five questions to uncover the possible reasons you’re not motivated to achieve your goals:\n\n1. Do I Really Want This?\nBefore you start discounting yourself as being weak or a failure, ask yourself if you really want this. Do you really want the end result? Do you want it bad enough to do whatever it takes to achieve it? If the answer is no to either question, it’s pretty obvious why you may not be motivated to doing the work the goal requires to actually achieve it.\n\nAchieving your goals doesn’t necessarily have to be hard, but it can be challenging for any number of reasons. If you don’t have enough fire, passion, and desire to achieve a goal, the process is likely going to be a lot harder than it has to be.\n\nTip: Stick to goals that you want bad enough that the decision to do what you need to do, in order to achieve it, is easy. \n\n2. If I Don’t Want This, What Do I Want?\nIf you’ve asked yourself, do I really want this? and “no” was the answer - there’s only one remaining question to ask:\n\nIf I don’t want this, what do I really want?\n\nThe answer may require some soul searching or big dreaming; just be sure it’s something that has enough desire to pull you through the “work” of achieving the goal.\n\nTip: Committing to goals you don’t really want serves little purpose. Instead, craft goals you desire with your heart, guts, and soul - those goals that inspire you to do the work required. These types of goals will get you excited and motivate you to achieving them.\n\n3. What’s My Big Why?\nIn the middle of doing the “work” of goal achievement, it’s easy to lose sight of why you’re doing it. When you find you’re not motivated to keep going, focus on the emotional reason behind why you made the initial commitment. So ask yourself:\n\n•\tWho/what inspired me to make the initial commitment to this goal?\n•\tIs my reasoning behind the commitment (my big why) still a high priority - a high enough priority to continue my commitment to doing whatever it takes – and nothing less?\n\nIf the

4 Tips for Sticking To Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 06 Nov 2018 06:30:00 -0800

[[:encoded, "We’ve all been there before…we find a goal that inspires us, and we commit to doing the work…until life derails us. Whether it was that vacation, your assistant suddenly quits, or death in the family, the truth is life sometimes distracts us from our goals. Dealing with the disruption is one thing, getting back on track can be another.\n\nHere we go with the 4 tips for sticking to your goals and getting back on track. \n\nTip #1: Focus on the Reward - Not the Work\nWise sages advise us to “be in the moment,” but let’s face it - you don’t always feel like running that last mile. You’re human; sometimes you lose your motivation in the middle of having to “do the work.”\n\nIf you’re losing your motivation, switch your focus on the reward. Focus on the good feelings of having accomplished your goal and how much easier it will be the next time because you will have broken through another limiting belief.\n\n“We only learn our limits by going beyond them.” ~Unknown\n\nTip #2: The Have-To’s Sometimes Turn into the Want-To’s\nThe work involved with achieving goals can feel like a “have-to” in the beginning, but they often turn into a “want-to” by the end of the process. They become a positive habit - a healthy way of being - while the work part eventually melts away.\n\nThis happens because it’s not always about the end result - it’s about the person you become as a result of the process.\n\nWhen you learn a new way of living - a way of living that better represents and supports your true potential - things that used to be a “have-to” transform into a “want-to.”\n\n“Conquer your bad habits or they will conquer you.” ~Charles A. Jaffe\n\nTip #3: It’s Who You Become in the Process\nThe person you woke up as today may not be the same person you wake up as tomorrow - or the day after that - or next week - or ten years from now.\n\nWhile it’s impossible to predict exactly who you’ll be in the future, it’s a safe bet that you will not be the exact same person. \n\nLife is a process of constant change and transformation. Each day we learn more about ourselves, which results in greater clarity of our true desires. The path between where we are and where we want to be becomes more clear and focused, creating a deep and focused desire to see the process through. \n\nSetting goals - and the work involved with achieving them - is not so much about the end result, as much as a deep, and often indefinable, desire to fulfill our greatest potential. To grow - to expand - to b

14 Tips for Maintaining Work Life Balance

Anne Bachrach — Sun, 28 Oct 2018 07:15:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Maintaining balance when the demands of work and life are pulling you in different directions can be a bit challenging at times. What’s at the heart of finding balance in your life? Peace, happiness, rest, health? The definition of balance is different for everyone: What may be balance to me may not be balance to you; which is why it’s important to get to the heart of what’s uniquely important in your life. \n\nLet’s talk about 14 tips for maintaining work/life balance.\n\n1. Identify Your Core Values (what is truly important to you in life)\nAbove all, honoring your core values is vital to maintaining a sense of balance because it directly affects your quality of life. Identify your core values and make the necessary life/work changes that honor them, so you can enjoy the kind of life you truly want and deserve. To help you identify your core values, you will find an effective exercise in the No Excuses Program (located in the Store at https://www.AccountabilityCoach.com). \n\n2. Know Your Priorities – and Schedule Them\nIf it’s really important, it must be scheduled. As I often say, honor thy calendar. Work and family are not the only important priorities, so be sure to schedule “you” time where you can to refuel, rejuvenate and tend to your own health and well-being. I believe that in order to stay focused on your high payoff activities and achieve your goals you must schedule everything on your calendar.\n\n3. Establish a Home Office\nIf you struggle with traveling to and from an office away from home, save time and get even more done by establishing a home office. Word of caution: it can be easy to get distracted by personal matters and family members when working from home, so set clear “office hours” where you can focus on work and will not be disturbed. Certainly, working virtually is much more common today than it used to be.\n\n4. Work Remotely 1-2 Days per Week\nIf you work best outdoors or in your favorite peaceful environment, schedule “remote” days where you can head to your favorite destination to brainstorm new business ideas or boost production.\n\n5. Reduce Your Expenses\nIt’s easy to get caught up in all the “doing” of life, only to lose track of how much you have to do to keep up with all the “having.” Look around you and ask, “Do I really want or need that _________?” If it’s a financial burden, and provides little or no fulfillment or return, it’s time to dump or downsize. When you don’t have to keep up with all the “having,” you c

The Strategic Thinking Model™ – Free Download Page

Anne Bachrach — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "The time to implement a strategy is now!\nThe Leaders role in strategy making: We all have a voice in strategy-making, as well as greater latitude to respond opportunistically to developing conditions. In the past, strategic thinking was generally reserved to closed-door meetings with upper management. This method employs feedback with lower-level management, who has direct contact with employees and clients.\n\nStrategy making: Sees strategy and change as inescapably linked and assumes that finding new strategic options and implementing them successfully is harder and more important than evaluating them. This rule puts ideas into action and places the importance of the application rather than extensive and time-consuming evaluation before action. Change is happening all the time, so the time to implement the strategy is now – not later – so you can capitalize on the benefits.\n\nApplying Strategic Thinking practices to your business will accelerate your success by allowing a crystal clear focus to drive daily tasks - for you and your team.

8 Tips to Help Manage People Better

Anne Bachrach — Fri, 14 Sep 2018 08:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "The success of a business depends hugely on the employees. If they aren’t committed to the goals and don’t put in their best efforts, achieving success can be extremely difficult and maybe impossible. Even if you have achieved considerable success till now, sustaining it in the future and taking your business to the next level is a whole different ballgame. You need to be able to manage the people working for you in the best way possible to make sure they are working towards your business’ success. \n\nYou need to make sure each and every employee is motivated and working towards the end goal. This requires you to share your vision for the company with them. It is easier said than done though. There are many things you need to do to improve your management skills and manage your employees in a better way. \n\nLet’s explore 8 tips that can help you manage people better. \n\n1. Define Values\nEvery business, regardless of scale, needs to have a set of clearly defined values. The values for your business are basically a code your employees follow when performing their day-to-day functions. Not outlining the values of your business causes confusion. The employees are not clear about what to do when faced with any given situation. Defining values also makes your expectations of the employees known to them. That way, they can perform to the standards you expect of them. For instance, the punishment for failure to complete work or violating a business policy should be made clear so that the employees don’t step out of line.\n\n2. Build Teams\nSome entrepreneurs use the strategy of pitting employees against each other and creating a competitive atmosphere. The idea behind it is clear that employees get motivated to work hard and outperform their peers. However, for a company, it is better that the people learn to work together than on their own. You can think of your business as a well-oiled machine. All the cogs need to be working perfectly and more importantly, working in tandem to make the machine work.\n\n3. Foster Accountability\nAccountability is a crucial ingredient in a work environment. You need to foster accountability and hold your employees responsible for their work. This results in them taking on more responsibility and makes your job of managing them easier. As you know, added responsibility can be a source of motivation for the employees. They begin feeling that you are relying on them to play a major role in the success of your business. \n\nTo cr

9 Online Marketing Tips Internet Newbies

Anne Bachrach — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 08:30:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Getting your offline business online can be overwhelming and confusing. You find yourself asking questions such as: Do I really need to be on Facebook? What’s the craze over Twitter and how does it help my business? Do I really need a blog and how do I find the time to write blog posts when I’m trying to run my business?\n\nThese questions, along with many more, are common and important questions to ask when taking your offline business online. This episode is meant to help answer some of your questions and provide guidance for navigating the world of online marketing. \n\nTip 1: The Internet is a Community\nRealize that the internet is a community and this concept will help you grasp the most important piece of mastering online marketing. You are not here to sell. You are a part of a worldwide community who has valuable solutions to offer your ideal client and prospect community.\n\nTip 2: Keep it Real\nInternet users can smell “fake” a mile away. Sleazy sales tactics don’t work and no, people don’t care what you had for lunch. What people do want is valuable information and resources! Post free tips - provide links to additional resources like key tips and articles on your blog, podcasts, and videos - announce special promotions. Keep it real, keep it high-value.\n\nTip 3: Social Networking No-No’s\nIf you’re new to social networking, it’s very easy to make a mistake and lose the trust of your tribe forever. In the beginning, do more listening than talking. Think of yourself as the new kid on the block.... learn the ropes, observe, and take notes. Connect with people from various industries and pay close attention to those people who have huge followings (they’re probably doing something right). Model their successes, and steer clear of the social networking no-no’s.\n\nTip 4: Your Website Isn’t Just a Website\nJust a few short years ago, websites were horrible to look at: flashing banners, hot pink backgrounds, hard-to-read text, and bad headshots. Today, your website isn’t just a website - it’s a presence. It’s your brand. It’s your business. It’s YOU. It must be engaging, informative and offer massive value without cheesy sales tactics. \n\nTip 5: Consistency is Key\nBecause the internet is a community, you must be willing to consistently participate. Tweeting once per month isn’t going to get you noticed. Online marketing should be part of your everyday marketing plan. A few minutes per day (at least 4 days per week) is the quickest, easiest and chea

Setting Client Boundaries:4 Tips to Handle Demanding Clients

Anne Bachrach — Wed, 29 Aug 2018 08:30:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "The important thing to remember when handling demanding clients is to take sole responsibility for establishing and managing their expectations. Manage them effectively - and everyone will remain on the same page and walk away satisfied. Fail to manage them effectively - and you’ll end up with some level of conflict (however minor or severe).\n\nClients will follow your lead; they will be however demanding or easy-going as your client boundaries dictates, and it’s best to establish those boundaries before the contract is signed.\n\n1. Establish Rules from the Get-Go\nEstablishing rules from the get-go is ideal and will help ensure a positive client relationship. Ideally, all projects should be secured with a firm contract (that protects and supports you and your client) before any money is exchanged or any work commences. This not only ensures everyone is on the same page from the very beginning of a new relationship, it helps reduce the chances of possible conflict at any time during the project.\n\nIf you’ve been doing business without any client boundaries in place, it’s best if you do not take on any additional clients until you establish a basic contract or service agreement. If you’ve never used contracts, approach it from this angle:\n\n•\tWhat are you clear on delivering and not delivering?\n•\tWhat problems or issues have you run into in the past?\n•\tHow could you design your contract or service agreement to avoid those problems and issues in the future?\n•\tWhat are the expectations they can expect from you and you from them?\n\nYou may also want to consider what you would like to do and how you would like to direct the outcome of future projects before you design the program. For example, if you design a program that makes you miserable, it’s going to be near impossible to create a positive experience for your clients. On the other hand, if you could design the program - and direct the outcome should problems arise - how would you like to do that and how would it best be done? (Be clear on what you’re willing and not willing to do.) \n\nIf you’re just starting out in business or you’re new to a specific industry, it can be difficult to establish rules when you’re not always sure what exactly will be required. That’s okay. In the beginning, you’ll have to feel your way through, client by client, until you gain complete clarity. The best advice would be: don’t do anything in the beginning that you are not willing to continue throughout your clie

5 Steps for Inspiring Clients to Work with You

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 02 Aug 2018 07:38:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "You have what they need! So, how do you get them to realize that you are the solution to what they are looking for, so they can be even more successful? Here are 5 steps for inspiring clients to want to work with you. It’s a win-win for everyone.\n\nStep 1: Get Them Talking\nFirst and foremost, make the conversation about them. Take the focus off “getting the sale” and instead use this time together to evaluate if you are the best person to assist them. Remember, you don’t want to work with anyone; you want to work ideal clients.\n\nAlthough you will be using this initial time together to evaluate if you want to work with them, keep the conversation focused on the prospective client.\n\nWhat is their current biggest struggle or challenge?\nWhat is their most immediate or long-term goal?\nWhat kind of support or guidance are they looking for?\n\nStep 2: Connect Them to Their Current Pain\nThere must be a starting point where you help the prospective client see where they are right now. In other words, they must know where they are right now before they can receive guidance to get where they want to go. From there, it’s important to remember that there are only ever two driving forces behind customers and clients who sign up:\n\n1) Reducing/Eliminating pain or \n2) Increasing pleasure\n\nThe first step in inspiring them to work with you (assuming they are an ideal client and you want to work with them) is to help them feel their current pain. Get them talking about their biggest struggle or challenge - help them connect to the discomfort - and then lead them through Step 3. \n\nStep 3: Inspire Them to Imagine Future Possibilities\nHelp them see that what they desire is possible - and that you can assist them in achieving it. Get them talking about their immediate and long-term goal(s) - asking how they feel imagining the real possibilities of their future. Reassure them that achieving any goal is simply a step-by-step process of “right steps” - and that you can successfully guide them through the process with greater ease and improved results.\n\nStep 4: Explain How You Can Help Them\nGo deeper into detail of how you can help them reduce their pain/increase their pleasure and achieve their goals. Emphasize in this step why you’re the best person to assist them in this process, by detailing a brief overview of the steps involved. \n\n(Don’t give too much away.)\n\nStep 5: Paint the Bridge\nThe final stage to inspiring clients to work with you is to paint the

4 Basic Rules of Business Branding

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 07:30:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "If you want to understand how to effectively brand your name, you first need to comprehend the basics of business branding. Business branding isn’t a complicated process, but the success of your business branding relies on the relevance, quality and consistency of its design. \n\nMost business owners fall short when branding their business because they try to overcomplicate the process. However, if you follow the basics of business branding and resist the temptation to lose the focus of the message, you should be well on your way towards creating an effective brand. \n\nThe most important basic factor in branding your business is conveying a message. You only have a few seconds to capture the attention of potential clients, and in those few seconds, your brand must clearly convey several points. Make those few precious seconds count by making it easy for your audience to comprehend your specialty with just a glance. \n\nStick to these 4 Basic Rules of Business Branding and watch your business grow. \n\nBusiness Branding Rule #1: Choose colors wisely\nIt may be your desire to choose colors that are most appealing to suit your personal taste, but they may not always be the most ideal for the success of your business. Advertising and marketing firms understand the emotions that colors convey and always choose the colors of their marketing carefully. Here’s a quick reference for the emotions conveyed by common colors.\n\nRed: Very emotionally intense color. Associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love. Use it as an accent color to stimulate people to make quick decisions.\n\nOrange: To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat. Represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation. Use it to catch attention and highlight the most important elements of your design.\n\nYellow: Yellow is the color of sunshine and produces a warming effect. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy. Yellow is an unstable and spontaneous color, so avoid using yellow if you want to suggest stability and safety.\n\nGreen: Symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety and has great healing power. Dark green is also commonly associated with money. \n\nBlue: Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth a

3 Questions to Ask Before You Make Important Decisions

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 12 Jul 2018 06:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "When it comes to making decisions that positively affect your life, there is only one thing to do. First, ask yourself how you feel about the opportunity. Do you get butterflies because you’re excited or does your gut feel heavy or weighed down, as if you’ve got a feeling that something bad is about to happen?\n\nSometimes it’s hard to tell how you feel about something. Perhaps you feel great about it, but it’s far outside your comfort zone so you have a lot of fear attached to it. Maybe your heart is telling you to go for it, but that means you’ll be placing hardship on someone else – and that causes feelings of guilt.\n\nSo how do you make important decisions that positively affect your life?\n\nGrab a pen and paper and go to a quiet place where you are happy, comfortable and will not be disturbed. \n\nAt the top of the page, write the opportunity in question form. Start the question with, “Should I…..” or “Is it right for me to…” Read the question over a few times and then close your eyes. The purpose of this exercise is to remove visual distractions and move your attention from your head to your gut. Sit silently and wait to see what feelings come up for you. \n\nIf your gut feels light and full of excitement, this may be an ideal opportunity for you.\n\nIf your gut feels heavy, low or uncomfortable, it’s probably not the right thing for you at this time – and you pretty much have your answer. \n\nTrusting your decision on emotion alone can be a lot to ask for most of us. Although we are each born with a sort of emotional navigational system to help us make the right choice, you will not find “Learning to Listen to Your Gut” as part of your curriculum in high school or college. Rarely are we taught how to listen to our emotional navigational system, so as adults we just have to use it until it becomes second nature.\n\nYour emotional navigational system is rooted in your “gut” and acts as the sort of sensitive, emotionally based female. Your brain on the other hand, is like the typical male: it is only concerned with logical reasoning. In order to rest easy with your decision, you have to satisfy both aspects of your being. \n\nI’m going to share 3 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Making Important Decisions.\n\nQuestion 1. Does this opportunity align with my short-term goals? Yes or No?\n\nIf the answer is yes, continue to Question 2.\nIf the answer is no, go no further. If it doesn’t align with your short-term goals, it definitely wo

11 Tips for Staying Focused & on Track to Achieve Your Goals

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 28 Jun 2018 06:27:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "As a business owner, there are things you must do in order to accomplish your goals so you can have the kind of business and life you have dreamed of having. From managing a team to handling clients - and everything in between - it can be easy to lose complete control of your day. We all have the same 24 hours available each day; it’s how we chose to use those 24 hours that’s makes the difference.\n\nMeetings, client services, and a To-Do List a mile long are frequent daily tasks in the world of running a business. The key is find an effective way to handle our daily routine to stay focused and on track to achieve your goals in the shortest amount of time and the least amount of effort.\n\nTip #1: Break Goals Down in to Daily Action Steps - and Track Them\nSomewhere between running a business and having a personal life, it’s not uncommon for our goals to fall by the wayside. If you are not paying attention to your goals on a daily basis, you’re probably taking the long way around. Break goals down into daily action steps and put them into your daily calendar/diary/planner. Those action steps should be labeled high priority and handled as early on in the day as possible, or at the best time that leads to the best result. No excuses.\n\nTip #2: Remove Distractions and Interruptions from Your Life\nWasting time on low priority tasks is one of the most common sources of interrupting your success. Email - texting - social media - internet surfing - personal phone calls - chatting - etc. are time wasters for many of us. Work hours should be reserved for work. Close email and internet outside specific time blocks. Turn off the ringer on your phone or filter calls through a team member. Remove paperwork that you are not currently working on from your sight. Create a system that works best for you - and stick to it. Consistent execution of new habits that put you in the highest probability position to make better progress, so you can create the business and life you want. \n\nTip #3: Be Aware of Sabotaging Habits\nNo one is ever completely free of self-sabotaging habits, which is why it’s important to be aware of your tendencies. When you are aware of your sabotaging habits, you can easily spot them - and stop them - from distracting you from your success. Whether you create procrastination, overwhelm, emotional crisis, physical exhaustion, relationship drama - or a host of other common habits - you’re creating self-sabotage. Achieving your goals becomes a lot eas

4 Bootstrap Marketing Ideas to Boost Revenue

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 14 Jun 2018 07:00:00 -0700

[[:encoded, "Have you found yourself in a revenue crunch with your business? Generating revenue - fast - is your first priority, but how can you do that when your marketing budget is small or nonexistent.\n\nAt one time or another, every business owner has stumbled across this same challenge. The challenge being, how do you boost revenue when you have none to spend? \n\nMaking money doesn’t always take money. These 4 Bootstrapping Marketing Ideas will help you to boost revenue, fast.\n\nBootstrap Marketing Tip #1: Reach Out To Past Clients\nWe’ve all heard the business adage: attaining the business of new clients far outweighs the cost (expenses, time, and effort) of attaining repeat business of existing clients. Reaching out to past clients via phone or email is one of the fastest ways to boost revenue easily. \n\nAction: Pick up the phone. Call your past clients and remind them you are here to help them in whatever way you can. You don’t need to hard-sell…just extend a genuine offer of service that you think will benefit them in their business and/or life.\n\nBootstrap Marketing Tip #2: Create a Solution\nThis is the time to get back to the basics: How can you solve your clients’ problem(s)? Identify their biggest point of pain or challenge - and create a solution. \n\nBootstrap Marketing Tip #3: Everyone Loves a Sale\nEveryone loves to save money; to feel like they are receiving even more value than what they are spending. To boost revenue, offer a 10% - 20% discount on services or programs, while offering deeper discounts (25% - 50%) on passive income items like products.\n\nAction: When designed properly, sales will not sacrifice your profits. Generally speaking, offer minimal or moderate discounts (10% - 20%) on high-cost items like services and programs, while offering deeper discounts (25% - 50%) on passive income items like books, ebooks and other strictly passive income items. Make sure to have the sale for a specific period of time to get people to act quickly to get the ‘deal’ before it ends.\n\nBootstrap Marketing Tip #4: Leverage Free Networking Resources\nOf all business challenges, leveraging the right resources at the right time is an endless refining process.\n\nAction: You never know where your next client will come from. Instead of worrying about being “sales-y” to the people in your personal life, approach connections with people as an opportunity to be of service. Genuinely engage in conversations without being pushy. Find out how you can help t

Dreamer vs Doer: The only thing stopping you from achieving

Anne Bachrach — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 13:20:55 -0700

[[:encoded, "You set goals, yet you don’t achieve them. Time and time again you find yourself stopping midway between the start and finish lines. You start off running out of the gate, enthused and driven to make a difference this time, but each time, something derails you from sticking to the game plan.\n\nIt’s the classic paradox of Dreamer vs. Doer.\n\nAs you know, my Excuses Don’t Count; Results Rule (https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/excuses-dont-count-results-rule-book/) philosophy is the basis for my coaching business because excuses are never the real reason you stop short of your goals. No, the real reason is something entirely different.\n\nSo, what’s the real reason behind all those excuses you make?\n\nYou are simply not willing to do what it takes to achieve your goals. You just don’t want what you say you want badly enough to actually do what it takes.\n\nThis is the real reason, and the only thing, stopping you from achieving your goals. Plain and simple.\n\nCommitment is what separates the dreamer from the doer.\n\nNo matter what the nature of the excuse is the only reason you stop short of achieving your goal is because the desire to do whatever it takes to achieve the goal isn’t strong enough.\n\nIn other words - you don’t want it bad enough to commit to being a doer.\n\nIf you’re tired of start-stop goal setting, here are some tips for helping you understand the reasons behind not wanting it bad enough:\n\nThe Payoff Isn’t High Enough\nSometimes the payoff (future benefit) of goal achievement isn’t enough to maintain your motivation in the now. That last mile....that last lap…that last squat… another phone call to a prospect… it can be challenging to find the motivation from the payoff - especially when it isn’t high enough.\n\nYour payoff should be so enticing that there is no question in your mind that you are sticking to your game plan. No questions, no excuses. You desire that payoff so deeply that you will to do whatever it takes to achieve your goal. Just being willing to do something doesn’t mean you will actually do it.\n\nFlip The Payoff/Pain Coin \nIf you simply cannot find a future payoff worth your commitment or high desire, flip the coin and focus on the current pain of remaining where you are.\n\nYou can bet that at some point you will have to do what you don’t feel like doing in order to get where you want to go.\n\nIt is in those crucial moments where you must decide if you desire to remain a dreamer and become a doer.

10 No-Cost, Low-Cost Ways to Market Your Business

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 13 Mar 2018 10:28:20 -0700

[[:encoded, "Great marketing goes beyond traditional marketing strategies. We’re entering a whole new era of online and offline marketing that allow you to market one-to-many for the best results. You don’t need expensive marketing resources to produce great results - here’s where you can get creative and have fun! Here are 10 No-Cost and Low-Cost Ways to Market Your Businesses.\n\nTip #1: Reach Out To Strategic Partners\nStrategic Partners are a complement (not competition) to your business (as your business is to theirs). Provide an Ideal Client Description and ask if they know someone who is an ideal fit. If they do know someone who would benefit from working with you, ask them to pass along your contact information to the prospect. (Asking for the prospect’s contact information - and contacting them directly - may not always be appropriate. Follow the Strategic Partner’s client privacy policy before contacting the prospect.) Last but not least - return the favor.\n\nTip #2: Develop Joint-Venture Projects\nJoint-Ventures are gaining popularity as we find (in a challenging economy) it’s not only more effective, but sometimes necessary, to pool resources together. This marketing strategy accomplishes two goals: 1) Gets your business in front of a new market and 2) Allows opportunities for new or creative products or services you may have previously been unable to provide. *Choose Joint-Venture Partners wisely… once a partnership is formed, reputations will inevitably be tied to one another.\n\nTip #3: Build a Community\nThe power of the community deeply serves us, as we continue to recover from economic hardship. Create an in-person or virtual community where like-minded business owners can meet once a week to discuss marketing strategies that work or brainstorm new and innovative ways to attract ideal clients. Use your business brand or personal philosophy as an anchor to the community and you’ll be providing what no one else can.\n\nTip #4: Update Client Success Stories\nYou may have client testimonials, but do you have updated their success stories? Contact clients who have worked with you and ask them to provide their latest success story by specifically tying at least one piece of their success to something they learned or were provided by your product, program, or service. The greater the success story - the greater the value that directly ties back to your business. Promote the updated testimonials and remember to put them on your website.\n\nTip #5: Hold an O

6 Tips for Getting More Clients Without Working Harder

Anne Bachrach — Mon, 02 May 2016 10:39:39 -0700

[[:encoded, "Most entrepreneurs experience a critical stage in their business where they need to consistently build their client base, yet they don’t have the time or resources to devote to serving more clients. So how do you get more clients without working harder? Learn how with these 6 tips. \n\nTip #1: Create Information Resources\nRegardless of your industry, your business has a powerful point of leverage that can be used to find and keep more clients: information. Create free and low-cost channels through which you can introduce yourself and your business - without significant time or effort investment on the backend. This is the “Create-It-And-Leave-It” method that creates not only more avenues for prospects to learn about you, but also expands your market reach and/or revenue.\n\nTip #2: Stand Out\nTo get the attention of ideal prospects, you must stand out from the crowd. Everyday information isn’t unique information. You have to show ideal prospects what makes you different from others in your industry. Be willing to share personal and professional experiences - and the lessons you’ve learned from those experiences. You have a unique perspective that separates you from the crowd. When you begin sharing what makes you different, it becomes easier for your ideal prospect to identify you from the rest of the crowd.\n\nTip #3: Create Low-Touch, High Volume Programs\nA common mistake among many entrepreneurs is spending too much time on non-paying prospects and low-end clients. This is you if: you find your schedule is maxed out, and you’re not creating enough revenue. The solution is to create a way to reach low-end clients that does not require a direct exchange of your time or effort. Create free and low-end solutions like the ones mentioned in Tip #1 where you can reach a larger pool of prospects and paying clients without having to work harder.\n\nTip 4: Create High-Touch, Low Volume Programs\nYour unique expertise and personal attention are your greatest points of leverage in your business. Some clients don’t want a home-study program, they want personal attention. The unique combination of your personal and professional experiences allows you to bring a unique perspective (and information) to your clients. Leverage it to create a high-end solution that provides individual or small group attention to top-level clients.\n\nTip 5: Honor Your Core Values\nIf you’re working too hard and still not generating the revenue you desire, you may not be honoring your

3 Steps to Writing an Effective Business Plan that Inspires

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 20 Oct 2015 15:15:08 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 3 Steps to Writing an Effective Business Plan that Inspires Action.\n\nThe idea of starting your own business can be exciting and inspiring, but for most small business owners, writing an effective business plan is not considered an exciting part of starting the process; therefore, many choose not to create one. Traditional business plans can be very dry and uninteresting, so you are about to learn how to create an effective business plan that not only gets you excited, it will inspire you, and others, to take action.\n\nThe length and details of an effective business plan will be determined by the type of business you’re creating. The key is to create not just another business plan, but an effective business plan that inspires you, and others, to take action. \n\nFirst, let’s get clear on the essentials components of an effective business plan:\n\n-Executive Summary \n-Market Analysis \n-Company Description \n-Organization & Management \n-Marketing & Sales Management \n-Service or Product Line \n-Funding Request \n-Financials \n-Appendix\n\nPart 1: Executive Summary\nThe executive summary is the most important component of an effective business plan because it will be the first thing the reader sees. This is where you’ve got to grab the reader’s attention and inspire them to support your vision through your mission statement. Provide a history of your company, its current standing, and future vision.\n\nPart 2: Market Analysis\nThis is your opportunity to shine and highlight your knowledge of the industry. This will also be where you will identify your target market and what you know about them. \n\nPart 3: Company Description\nKeeping it brief, describe how all the elements of your business fit together. Be sure to clarify the marketplace need and how your company is poised for a competitive edge.\n\nPart 4: Operation and Management\nIn this component, include your business’s organizational structure, details about ownership, and profiles of your management team. A key factor in this section is to clarify what kind of incentives and bonuses will be provided to keep your staff motivated and employed.\n\nPart 5: Marketing and Sales Management\nUse this section to share your vision for getting and growing your customer/client base - as they will be the lifeblood of your business. \n\nPart 6: Service or Product Line\nHere is where you will want to focus on the distinct advantage your product or service has over the

3 Reasons Why Beck-and-Call is NOT a Better Business

Anne Bachrach — Mon, 25 May 2015 13:50:11 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 3 Reasons Why Beck-and-Call is Not Better Business and working my appointment only is better client service.\n\nThere is a huge misconception that the best business is a business that is at the beck-and-call of its clients. The truth is that the best business is a business that effectively sets boundaries, and manages and exceeds client expectations in order to maintain a productive and effective flow.\n\nIf you are constantly juggling clients, answering the phone at all hours of the day, interrupting your personal time to fit in business, and feeling stressed, here are 3 Reasons Why Beck-and-Call is Not Better Business.\n\n1. It’s Impossible to Manage Client Expectations\nWithout structure and a solid foundation of rules and regulations, managing client expectations is impossible. They will expect the world, and will be sorely disappointed, when you do not deliver it. In other words, without boundaries, it’s quite possible they will expect everything.\n\nYou may find yourself, at one point or another, running yourself ragged juggling multiple clients, all of whom expect your undivided attention. When you find it impossible to meet the expectations of your clients, your business will suffer in more than one way. You’ll be exhausted and clients will be left dissatisfied. No one wins.\n\nClient expectations can only be effectively managed by outlining specific deliverables from the very beginning. If this isn’t possible (if the working relationship has already begun), then establish and communicate boundaries to clients as soon as you can.\n\n2. It’s Impossible to Effectively Manage Your Business\nImagine how effectively you can manage your business when you’re struggling to meet multiple demands of multiple clients? Instead of having time to focus on building your business, you’ll be struggling just to maintain it. That’s no way to run your business. It’s much like multi-tasking - it doesn’t work well.\n\nIf you’re consumed with meeting the high demands of unbridled client expectations, your business isn’t running with the greatest effectiveness or efficiency. You’re spending too much time on an overly demanding client, instead of focusing on other areas of your business that also require your attention in order to be successful. \n\nYou know you’re not effectively running your business (it’s actually running you) when:\n\n•\tYou become exhausted and resentful of demanding clients (and eventually become resentful of your bus

4 Steps to Conquer Fears and Start Living Life On Your Terms

Anne Bachrach — Wed, 08 Apr 2015 11:03:12 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 4 Steps to Conquer Fears and Start Living Life On Your Terms.\n\nWe’ve all been afraid to try something new at one time or another. Why is that? And it seems as we age, our fear controls more and more of our willingness to try something new. We prefer to forego a new experience because we want to avoid whatever bad thing we think could happen. Or maybe the anxiety is just too stressful for us to even contemplate facing our fears. Whatever the reason, we justify that trying something new is not worth the risk.\n\nMost of us learn to live within our comfort zone by default because we base our daily decisions on whether or not they cause feelings of anxiety. Every action we decide to take is based on whether it lands inside or outside our comfort zone. \n\nAs humans, most of us have the tendency to remain within the boundaries of our comfort zone, to avoid situations that cause feelings of anxiety and fear. And although it may feel like we are in control, we are actually out of control. When we live our life inside our comfort zone, we allow our fears to control our daily life. \n\nWhen we remain inside the boundaries of our comfort zone, we essentially stop growing and stop learning. Sure, you can choose to live the rest of your life in your comfort zone, but if you are unhappy with any aspect of your life, know that it will not change until you step outside your comfort zone. \n\nYour comfort zone is nothing more than an imaginary “safe zone.” This “safe zone” is nothing more than an imaginary area in which the mind has predetermined strategies to deal with circumstances that occur within those boundaries. In other words, your mind craves a controlled environment where it has a pre-determined set of actions to deal with a certain set of situations. \n\nWhen it has past experiences to refer to, it can recall the details of a past success and apply the success strategies to a present experience. This set of past successes is what creates a “safe zone.” The mind knows exactly what to do when faced with those situations without anxiety or fear. However, step outside your comfort zone and the mind suddenly has no past experience to calculate a strategy from - this is what causes feelings of anxiety and fear.\n\nFeelings of anxiety are often assumed as a “bad” sign, but that is not necessarily true. Obviously if you are faced with a life-threatening situation, then feelings of anxiety would be rational; but when

4 Ways to Increase the Productivity of your Business

Anne Bachrach — Sat, 11 Jan 2014 05:37:40 -0800

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 4 Ways to Increase the Productivity of your Business.\n \nEvery business owner is on the lookout for effective ways to increase productivity for their team. The reality is that business owners and employees are ineffective and unproductive probably more often than they think. The key is to reduce lost hours and wasted manpower. Here are some ways you can take an active approach to increasing the efficiency and productivity of your business.\n \nProductivity Tip #1: Lead by example. If you are a business owner, you must absolutely be held to the highest standard. If you work directly with an assistant or team of employees, you should always lead by example. \n \nIf you2019re a habitual procrastinator or have trouble focusing on productivity, you would serve yourself and your business well by hiring an accountability coach. An accountability coach will show you several effective ways to increase productivity in your business - and hold you accountable for your actions, as well as your results. When you are asked to explain to your accountability coach why you didn2019t achieve the task at hand because you chose to watch T.V, it won2019t feel comfortable to be put on the hot seat by your coach.\n \nProductivity Tip #2: Work each day with a To-Do List. Creating a to-do list is one of the most efficient ways to increase the productivity of your business. Crafting a detailed to-do list for you and your team will help them comprehend exactly what is expected of them each day. This will motivate them to complete the tasks they2019ve been given with the greatest efficiency and effectiveness. If your assistant or team is known for procrastinating, this is an especially effective tool for encouraging them to stay focused. When you don2019t leave wiggle room for lollygagging, you2019ll have one heck of a productive team. Customize each To-Do List to each team member, so that each team member can be held directly accountable for their actions. \n \nProductivity Tip #3: Delegate appropriately. If you cannot delegate, you cannot increase productivity. Period. The key to increasing productivity is realizing where your time is best spent. Where your assistant2019s or team2019s time is spent matters as well. When you can delegate the right tasks to the right person, your business will operate without a hitch. However, hang on to tasks you should have let go of long ago, and you stagnate your success. When you need a task c

3 Tips for Building a Team that Builds Success

Anne Bachrach — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 06:15:22 -0800

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 3 Tips for Building a Team that Builds Success.\n\nIf you want to learn how to build a team that builds success, you will want to take a look at the big picture. Take any successful entrepreneur, and behind him or her, you will find a well-suited team of supportive, knowledgeable, and energetic members all dedicated to increasing the success of the business.\n\nTip #1 for building a team that builds success. If you2019re trying to understand how to build a team that builds success, you should first pinpoint the mission of the business. Only when you have a clear understanding, as a leader, of the mission of the business, can you build the right team. When you can clearly identify and emotionally connect with the mission, you are able to identify the right people who are best-suited to support the success of the business.\n\nDepending on the mission statement of the business, you may need to focus on building a team of creatives, analytics, intellectuals, or spiritualists. For example, a PR (public relations) firm wouldn2019t necessarily build a team of spiritualists; that personality would be better suited for a business that is motivational or inspirationally based. A PR firm would more likely hire creatives and intellectuals. Another example of personality matching would be an accounting firm; they would look to building a team of analytical members, not necessarily creatives or spirituals. \n\nAlways start with the mission of the business, and then build your team. Let2019s say you need an assistant to travel with you to help you with live events such as seminars and guest appearances. An important personality factor would be to ensure the team member has the following qualities:\n2022\treliable and punctual\n2022\tgreat organizer\n2022\tkeeps you calm under times of stress\n2022\ttakes care of the small details so you don2019t have to\n2022\tloves traveling\n2022\tlove meeting new people\n2022\thas a personable, magnetic personality \n\nTip #2 for building a team that builds success. Think about the areas of your business where you struggle and could obviously use the help. Make a list of those tasks you would like or need help with and then look for those strengths in potential candidates.\n\nAdditionally, take into consideration the kind of personality you tend to gravitate towards. Do you enjoy being with people who are: Funny? Serious? Energetic? Go-Getter? Talker or silent-type? Make a list of the

3 Tough Situations and How to Deal with Them

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 3 Tough Situations and How to Deal with Them and the Benefits of Telling the Truth.\n\nThe importance of telling the truth in business is paramount. Clients pay for your products or services because they are looking for significant and necessary results in their lives, not to waste their money on empty promises.

The Art of Delegation for Business Owners

Anne Bachrach — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 09:50:49 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about The Art of Delegation for Business Owners. Delegation for business owners is a must-do for success! When you can hand over your administrative tasks and projects off to an able assistant or employee, you can focus on more important tasks that only you can do to grow your business and increase revenue. The art of delegation is an essential part of establishing a growing business. \n\nDelegation allows you to eliminate the low-priority tasks so you can free up time to focus on the high-payoff producing tasks. Clearly, this can allow you to focus on increasing your revenue, and it can also free up time to center your energy towards expanding your business. When your business continues to grow, eventually reaching another plateau, you may find it necessary to hire more assistants or outsource more tasks. \n\nImplementing the art of delegation to your current business model can lead to an increase in business and an immense decrease in stress for you. Delegation for business owners is the single most efficient way to run your business without having to spread yourself thin. You don2019t need to hire an army worth of employees or contractors, just delegate the tasks that are hindering you from increasing your revenue!

4 Tips for Building Self Esteem for Business Success

Anne Bachrach — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:46:37 -0800

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 4 Tips for Building Self Esteem for Business Success.\n\nIf you’ve struggled with self-esteem throughout your life, it may be a bit challenging to start creating confidence now in your business, but I assure you, even you can build self-esteem and succeed in your endeavors! Let’s talk about 4 Tips for Building Self Esteem for Business Success.\n\nYou can improve self-esteem in business by maintaining a professional appearance, working on the way you present yourself and gaining experience. Chances are, you may feel a little nervous each time you make a sales pitch or meet a potential client in person for the first time. The important thing to remember is not to let the nervousness stop you. Just for the moment, forget about the sale and focus on your talent. When you can remember that you can do it, and probably do it well, the anxiety of “making the sale” will not even be in your mind. \n\nWith time and experience, your confidence and self-esteem will continue to grow until speaking with clients feels as natural as a conversation with a friend. The sooner you can embrace your confidence, the sooner your self-esteem will carry you to business success.\n\nMy hope for our time together is that you got value and an idea or two that will help you be even more successful – personally and professionally.

Is your Business Really Focused on Client Satisfaction?

Anne Bachrach — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 02:35:12 -0800

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about Is your Business Really Focused on Client Satisfaction? Is your Business Really Client-Centered?\n\nThere are many factors that go into building a successful business. However, one of the most important, yet one of the most ignored, is focusing on creating client satisfaction. Create a client-centered business and you’ll ensure that your business gets only rave reviews, while setting it up for success. \n\nAre your clients’ interests at the core of your business? If not, your business will remain at a standstill for years to come. Many business owners have the perception that they run a client-centered business, but in reality, they have gotten into a bad habit of putting their own personal interests in front of their clients’. Yes, it is true that you should have a personal interest and passion for your business, but your interest is not what drives sales. Meeting your clients’ needs and delivering stellar client service is what drives sales and generates revenue.\n\nSmart business owners know that running a client-centered business is necessary in order to stay ahead of the competition. After all, when you focus your efforts on client satisfaction, your clients will become your biggest free marketing tool. Not only will they become lifetime clients, but they will also refer you to friends, family members, and colleagues any chance they get. Word of mouth, any successful business owner will tell you, is the most powerful marketing tool available.\n\nIf you’re focused on client satisfaction, then all of your clients will likely become lifetime clients and become a free source of marketing when they refer their friends, family, coworkers, and everyone they know to you. Continue to be open to making changes that can enhance being client-centered and you will improve the opportunity to be successful. When you run a client centered business, you will run a business set up for success.\n\nGo to http://www.accountabilitycoach.com/landing/ and get 3 FREE gifts including a special report on 10 Power Tips for Getting Focused, Organized, and Achieving Your Goals Now.

How to Get Things Done with a Master Task List

Anne Bachrach — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 04:27:20 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about How to Get Things Done with a Master Task List.\n\nFocusing on many responsibilities is a vital part of successfully running your business successfully. But how do you know which tasks need to be completed immediately and which tasks can wait? You have so many things you need to do that it can be very overwhelming. If you focus on the less important tasks, while the most important go unnoticed or forgotten about, you could be sabotaging your overall success. Fortunately, you can get a grip on your essential tasks by learning how to get things done with a master task list. We will discuss some valuable insight on how to use a master task list to increase your success. \n\nWhat is a Master Task List?\nHow do you use a Master Task List \n\nUnderstanding how to use a master task list can only be done by truly understanding why you need to create one. A master task list has one purpose: to help you complete the key tasks vital to running your business at its optimal efficiency and effectiveness. \n\nThe goal is to accomplish the tasks on your list as soon as you can, so you can clear your head of the distractions. To aid in that, place the tasks from your master task list into a calendar where you can map out time limits for each task.\n\nRemember to delegate the unimportant or low-priority tasks to an assistant or employee. You, as the business owner, should only be focusing on the most vital tasks that are best suited to be handled by you. Everything else is trivial, temporary, or low-priority, and can likely be delegated to an assistant.\n\nGo to http://www.accountabilitycoach.com/landing/ and get 3 FREE gifts including a special report on 10 Power Tips for Getting Focused, Organized, and Achieving Your Goals Now.

Think Big and Grow Your Business

Anne Bachrach — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 02:58:38 -0700

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about Think Big and Grow Your Business.\n\nContrary to common belief, most successful entrepreneurs aren’t born into money or possess above average IQ’s. Most of them are self-made and many of them do not even have college degrees. It doesn’t take genius to become successful; it only takes the proper mindset, desire, and commitment. \n\nHow do you gain the proper mindset? By learning to think outside of the box.\n\nIf you quit tending to your business, would it run on its own? The likely (and logical) answer is no. \n\nIf your business cannot run without you - you’ve got to start thinking outside the box! One of the quickest ways to grow your business is to gain leverage. You do that by creating a business that does not solely rely on you. \n\nFrankly, building passive income isn’t as difficult as many people make it out to be. It comes down to being able to think outside the box and expand your mindset to accommodate a successful reality. The goal is to create a source of residual recurring income in the least time investment possible. \n\nAnother key to growing your business is to delegate the time-consuming, non-income driving tasks to someone else. \n\nMaking the transition from where you are to where you want to be starts with thinking outside the box. Remember, the key is to leverage your business so it is not dependent on your daily attention. Create residual income streams and delegate non-income driving tasks to a virtual assistant or employee. Follow these tips and your business will grow beyond your wildest dreams.\n\nGo to http://www.accountabilitycoach.com/landing/ and get 3 FREE gifts including a special report on 10 Power Tips for Getting Focused, Organized, and Achieving Your Goals Now.
