Creative – Rob Ryan | Small Business Chronicles https://smallbusinesschronicles.com What`s profitable to work on to get more leads, better open rates, higher conversions, and more sales Mon, 26 Jun 2017 00:51:38 +0000 en-AU hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.7 Does Real Financial Independence Begin With Changes In Mindset? https://smallbusinesschronicles.com/does-real-financial-independence-begin-with-changes-in-mindset/ Thu, 16 Mar 2017 05:26:13 +0000 http://smallbusinesschronicles.com/?p=1064 Does ‘real financial independence’ begin with changes in mindset?   Do new rewards for individuals and community start specifically with a new construction of our mind?

Do we need an evolution of  how we have personally constructed our mind?  Likely we do; so exercising the grey matter is a perfect way to go!

As an educator, I contend we need a major overhaul of elements of ‘our education system’? Should we insist on a teaching pedagogy of mind matters, of creativity and of entrepreneurial spirit or should we get back to the basics, or both? There seems great energy about now to re-engineer our priorities. Mindset does matter.  Let`s teach about it, as a top priority?

What do you say about building future societies?

Which path should our society follow? What are the real pillars of a ‘more conscious’ society?  Is our society careless about teaching thinking skills and careless about teaching the skills of deep questioning?

So what about today`s adults?

A focus on mind matters plus more options for wealth building and financial independence …. will likely lead to building a new and better future. What do you think?

Building financial wealth for the us requires a systematic purposeful action; products and services which enhance and enable wealth creation and which in turn can enable lifestyle quality to grow.

I wonder what difference there would have been in my life`s journey had I understood the true meaning of financial independence?  Would my now-life circumstances have been very different? How much was I de-powered because of the lack of knowledge?

My education was typical of most baby boomers.  I grew up in a very small country town, both parents worked and sport was the basis of life, summer and winter through! I travelled 60 kilometres daily for 7 years from Reynella (South Australia) to Adelaide to complete my secondary and tertiary education. (great choice by my parents!).

But, while my education was standard for the times – academic and exacting, it lacked any mention of business, management and entrepreneurship -and finances.  The mindset of those times was one more related to generations/people recovering from wars and recession; about survival and betterment; about the a concept of having more – to escape from a life of near poverty, one of lack of choice and having-to-just-get-by!

Today, I believe we are more conscious! And there`s certainly greater opportunities for all of us.

What do you believe and feel about attention to mindset?  Do more active and creative mindsets need to prevail for the new times?

New thinking, new teaching, uniqueness and entrepreneurship in it`s widest interpretation needs to be championed!  …  But only if we truly want to have real personal choice, real opportunities, true freedom – real use of time! …  to be, to work, to serve, to travel and, and, and… abounding – choice!

I want to share with you one aspect of my business plan – Why ‘The Online Alliance Members’ Are Looking Forward In 2017.

So let me share my successes and my failures first, and don`t be shy, share yours too. I set three goals. Each has allocated time each week and these times are flexible, but not-negotiable. (the day to day routines have times allocated as well).

#1 Goal: Lose weight and be healthier and fitter so I can enjoy life!!  I was 109kg in early January. March 1 here today in Australia – 100kg at weigh in this morning. YES!!  5 kg to go by the end of March. I`m pretty pumped -for sure!

#2 Goal: My business interests in 2016 were very unclear; woolly, lacked focus, lacked structure and… lost $$.  — Ive downsized. I dumped programs. I simplified. I set up new systems. I have a simple time management system and I`m sticking to it. All this has taken time! Do I feel satisfied with where I`m at? YES!  (in future posts, I`ll share more).

#3 Goal: Too private and personal to share here. I don`t know you well enough! 🙂

It`s critical to plan this time in your schedule, so that you are efficient and productive!

I often lose energy and enthusiasm, because my mind is not in the best space to nail my thoughts. Then the finished product, article or post or ad copy just needs so much rework!!

When do you do your best work?

For me, it’s realllllly early in the morning. I used to get up at 4 a.m., grab a steaming cup of coffee, and just start writing. At that time of day, words flowed so easily that I could finish a 1,500-word post in an hour. Later in the day, that same post would’ve taken me twice as long.

But that’s not the case for everyone. Some people prefer working late into the night. Others hit their stride after lunch.

If you’re not sure what time of day is best for you to write, keep on reading. The infographic below from Neil Patel at Quick Sprout will dive into data on productivity and creativity so you can figure out what timing might work best for you.

Visionary? Emotionally intelligent? Self leaders? Creative?  These are a few of the key questions raised in this wonderful article. Enjoy this, I`m sure there are points within that will be of benefit to you!

Educators around the world have been grappling with the concept of 21st Century Education for the past 20 years! Some are earnest, some are cynical and some are overwhelmed with the whole notion.

How are you dealing with the changes we need to make in schools to meet the needs of 21st Century Learners?  Do you have a clear vision of your way forward? Are you feeling confused, frustrated or overwhelmed? Or are you just too damn busy to even think about it?

I understand how you feel! As a passionate educational leader for over 20 years I have recently carved out some time to research 21st Century Learning and 21st Century Leadership because I was feeling confused, frustrated and overwhelmed.

I don’t have all the answers but I now have a much clearer understanding of what we should be doing as 21st Century School Leaders and I’d like to share it with you.
