As an entrepreneur, business owner, coach or consultant, one of the main things you have to do in order for your business to succeed is GROW, and growing your business will depend on building key parts of your business.
In this post I share three things you must BUILD in order to GROW your business:
A large factor of succeeding as a business owner, entrepreneur, coach or consultant is conquering your fears. FEAR is something that can STOP you in your tracks! It can hinder you from taking the steps necessary to do the things that are necessary to take your business and life to the next level. Fear is by far the #1 thing that stops people from succeeding.

Clarity is an AWESOME gift for a business owner. When you are clear on WHAT you need to do to GROW your business, and HOW you need to do it, things are so much easier.

If you’re familiar with the website and app MapQuest, it helps you to reach your destination by providing you with directions, helps you plan your route and lets you know about hotel deals for your destination.
Well, similar to the MapQuest website and app, having a M.A.P. (Marketing Action Plan) for your business can give you the direction that you need, help you plan out the activity you need to be doing for your business, and can help you figure out the right partnerships you need to be making for your business.
In this post I share how to create a M.A.P. to fulfill your business quest for success in 2018:
Change can be a difficult thing for some people to make. As entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants and service-based business owners, we get used to doing things a certain way or going to certain places, but change is necessary in order to improve and to grow your business.

Some people are born with an entrepreneurial spirit, while others fall on to the path of entrepreneurship and business ownership, whichever way you end up on this journey, it’s a very different path than the traditional career path of getting a good job and climbing the corporate ladder of success.
