Change Your Strategy – Change Your Results

Sometimes when it comes to your business you need to take a few steps back and look and see what’s going on.  The thing is that over a period of time little minor changes in your life, in your business, in your direction can end up in you going to a totally different destination.   The problem is many people can spend years even decades drifting away from their destination and ending up in a totally different direction than they had originally planned to go.

The great thing is we where given a few different tools to deal with life.  Just one quick look at your bank account now, and  5 years  ago can tell you a big story about the direction you are heading.   We also have  basic common sense even if in many cases with a lot of people common sense just  isn’t always that common.  Looking at where you are now and where you wanted to be, can instantly tell you whether you are heading in the right direction.  Or if you are completely off course, remember even going a couple of degrees off course, can make you end up at the other side of the world if you travel long enough.

Many people have relationship problems, marriage problems, health issues and lots of other things and often these things are due to a minor deviation off course..  

Some examples might be 

Marriage or relationships –  Starting to communicate less and less over a number of months or years, ending up completely loathing or blaming the other person in your relationship due to a lack of clear communication.

Health Issues –  Just watching a couple of extra hours of TV programs a few times a week or daily could end up with you piling on the pounds. When left over many years this can escalate to some serious health issues like being overweight, bad circulation, feeling less energetic to exercise, Diabetes, heart disease, cancer or other complications.

Business Issues – You may start out in your new business with great intention and enthusiasm and have success in the first few months, but then later you stop doing a few of the things you did when you started the business in the first place.   Often just making a few tweaks at the start can get you back in line.  But once again in business if you drift into small bad habits over the years.Then this can cause you a huge loss of profit and or customers, and even end up leaving you in a position where you have to close  down your business.

Just looking back at what worked in your business in the past, and what you have overlooked can end up getting you or your business back on track and achieving better results. For you and your clients or customers.

Financial Issues  – When it comes to money.

Money will be attracted to people who provide value, money will also stay with the people who look after it.   Maybe when you where a child you used to save money and where always okay financially.  But then you got married and your wife likes shopping a lot and at the end of the week your bank accounts are empty..    Or else you may just take up gambling or spend all your money on a new hobby or buying doodads(Buying things which are a liability- instead of an asset which Take money out of your pocket)   The long term effects of this can mean you end up being broke on a regular basis.   Maybe just by redirecting 10 or 20% of your monthly income to buying appreciating assets (That put money in your pocket)  you could end up extremely wealthy and comfortable.

The last few months I have had a lot of stuff going on at home, and due to the fact that my online business does make me plenty of money on complete autopilot.   I was doing a lot less marketing and blogging than I would usually do.   And although I still get a lot of passup sales from other team members efforts.  I haven’t been registering as many new customers as I would normally do.

Fortunately I decided to follow the exact advice I am giving here on this blog post.  Yes indeed if I want to create more personal sales results in my business I have to do more blogging and marketing/social media sharing.

The great thing is for years I used a few social media strategies which always worked.  Yes this is an essential part of building an online business just getting eyes on your products or content.   As no products, services or content = No Sales..

The great news is that my son helped me create a business plan for your social media and blog posts as well.  And anyone that joins my team will get to download the exact templates I made for sharing your content.  This is huge and is not anything like I have ever shown you before.  If you want access to it then post a blog comment below when I get enough comments I will send you the social media strategy planner for free.

This new social media strategy I believe has the possibility to increase your Social Media exposure x5 or 10 times and it is actually quite simple when you follow the diagram which I will be adding below I was just going to give this out too my personal team members but if 10 or more  people want it I will add it below..  🙂   Just comment below  if you want to get access to the new templates and check back on this post later  🙂

Life Is Full Of Surprises!!

Life Is Full Of Surprises!!

I found out today I am going to be a daddy for the fourth time once again was completely unexpected but living a life full of surprises is never dull.

I told my three sons they where going to have a little brother or sister and quite predictably my two youngest sons where very happy and my oldest son was very upset.

I had a feeling he might be, call it parents intuition my eldest son  is very sensitive and he worries a lot.  But after a private conversation he went from crying almost hysterical fits to words of wisdom..

He was worried about the baby getting all the attention and I think that his biggest worry was also about someone taking over his ensuite bedroom..

After some reassurance from me that nothing will change.  And a gentle reminder that by the time his brother or sister is calling his mum to get her attention he will be 16 years old.  Yes I don’t think as a 16 year old you will have any reason to be worried about a toddler taking the limelight I told him.

 

 

Life Is Full Of Surprises!!

Happy Birthday Aristotle- 12TH Birthday

I had a bit of a Deja Vu parent moment yesterday when I took my three sons hiking up the side of Slieve Donard Park in Newcastle Co, Down yesterday.  As a 15 year old teenager I used to do mountain biking down the side of that mountain.

I used to cycle 30 to 60 miles a day at least 6 days a week as a teenager , that was dedication for you ..  I remember on my 15th Birthday taking my dad mountain biking around Belvoir Park in Belfast.  And it nearly killed him not literally, but here I was yesterday 26  years later at 41 years old.

About the same age my dad was when he went for that cycle and of course my youngest son was running up the side of the mountain like a mountain goat. And the other two boys as well  With me the old timer dragging behind lol…  Unfortunately 12 years of working from an office can do that when not mixed with enough regular exercise.

Today we went out for lunch and the man in the restaurant brought out the birthday cake with sparklers for my 12 year old son then ended off with a nice walk around Lady Dixon Park..  Again a lot has changed since I was a teenager working my tail off in 4 jobs to keep up all the luxuries with no free time.

I am Now in my 41St Year being able to take time off whenever I want to be with my family working a business from home.  Is Something to me that is 1000% Priceless.

After an exhausting two days gallivanting we just landed back at 5pm before passing out in bed then waking up about 10PM

Madmen in the living room

Madmen in the living room

 

Madmen in the living room

 

I was driving along one of the busiest roads in Northern Ireland in rush hour traffic which I never do lol..  And my clutch in the car stopped working,  If you can imagine a line of miles of traffic behind me some even beeping the horn it was pretty crazy.

Getting a tow truck was going to take ages so I made a decision. Even though I couldn’t get my car into gear to drive it I was going to get off this road a 2 mile drive.

So my brain went to work by this stage someone had helped to push the car a bit up a kerb which was actually going up a hill and I was figuring out how the F$%k am I going to actually move this car.

I rang a friend of mine and he told me to turn the ignition off put the car into second gear and get prepared for a bumpy start.  Bumpy start it was but once I got the car moving It started going okay just crawling along in 2nd gear.

Till I had to do a right turn at a busy junction once again the car stalled it was either stall or drive into the back of other cars.

I managed to re start it the ghastly way in second gear and parked the car up off the main road till help could arrive.

 

The moral of the story is when you decide you are going to do something no matter how bad or difficult things seem you can set your mind to do it

That was only the start of my exciting day but I won’t go in to all the rest of it lol..  The one good thing was while all this was happening I made a couple of commissions from my business on autopilot..

Thanks to my online business I don’t have to worry about where the money will come from to repair the car, I am very lucky as I have passive income streams coming in all the time..

I came back home and watched this video on You Tube by T Harv Ecker and thought to myself isn’t it awesome.  In fact aren’t we all awesome.

Like he says in the video we can decide to have a shit day no matter what happens, or you can decide to have an awesome day no matter what happens.  You decide which you would prefer it to be.

Personally I have no intention of becoming a crap magnet so I had an awesome day.  I figured out how to drive a car on the busiest road in Northern Ireland with no clutch.  I got a nice breakfast in the shop, I went on a modern train for he first time in ages just so happened the car ended up, beside the train station.

And by tomorrow I will have solved another one of lifes hiccups and even got some content for my blog from it..  How awesome is that next time life throws some stuff at you make sure you are wearing your awesome glasses  🙂

 

Today was a slightly challenging day?

Because it is hard to believe that there can be so many stupid drivers on the road.

What Was Your First Home Computer ?

 

I remember in 1984 getting my first computer it was a Sharp MZ700 it cost £250 I was over the moon but had absolutely no clue how to work it.

Yeah those where the days before I had internet I must say it looked pretty nice at the time.

I even managed to find a few pictures floating around on Google of them 🙂

About a couple of years later I was bought a Spectrum 128k It was also £250 the funny thing was the next year all the shops ran out of stock of them near christmas.

So I put mine in the newspaper and sold it the next year for £268  who said a computer was a depreciating liability lol …
