What?  Why? How? When? Who? … I ask – ‘What are some top-rating guiding principles that create ‘Leadership Ideas For Great Business Goal Setting’!

Here is a mix of ideas to set up the best goal-setting – from six outstanding leaders. This is a compelling mix of ideas from a philosophical, wisdom-based, and action-oriented set of beliefs and theories.

We are moving through the 2021 year; Covid19 is still with us and likely will be for some time yet?

If ever there was a perfect time for each of us to ‘create a new world’, it is now? Let`s start with this question…

‘How happy, how calm, how content are you?’  How content and fulfilled is your staff, your community, your family? How well are they managing themselves, in their work and in their day-to-day living in this Covid19 threatening world? 

 

Lets set up a focus around ‘happiness’, it seems to me, this is a perfect starting point to reflect and restate goals and ambitions!

 

Some years back I was lucky enough to attend a 4-day conference in Sydney, titled ‘Happiness And Its Causes’.  Some participants thought the title of the conference to be somewhat strange; yet the presentations and content from world leaders in their field, over those days, was simply brilliant!

Seems to me this title, ‘Happiness And It`s Causes’ is a headline management keyword and focus so perfectly relevant for today?

 

I propose that leaders have an extra responsibility in these Covid19 days, to monitor and manage people differently and better and have a specific focus on stress, anxiety, wellbeing, and … to create measures of happiness.

Leaders need to construct new policies and strategies… let`s stand back, let`s have new eyes and a new and enhanced perspective about happiness!

  • Ask about contentment!
  • Ask about ability in managing stress and anxiety!
  • Make more time to monitor overall wellbeing both incidentally and structured.

I believe in the development of new extra skills and enhancement of existing management skills. These need to be loaded into everyones` leadership briefcase… ie greater and different structures – build in a reflection of existing goals and strategies, and those hugely important people management strategies.  

Now there is so much more to consider.

It`s about all of these things…

 

Let`s see what my chosen leaders have to offer…  Dan Sullivan, Martine Seligman, Brian P. Moran, and Michael LenningtonDr. Wayne W. Dyer, and Matthieu Ricard.

 

Dan Sullivan, Master Coach of Business Entrepreneurs, penned the following question to members of one of his mastermind groups. Actions are needed.

Dan`s question … 
“If we were having this discussion three years from today, and you were looking back over those three years, what has to have happened in your life, both personally and professionally, for you to feel happy with your progress?” 

 

“The 12 Week Year”, New York Times Bestseller by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington, presents a process, forged in the field of working with top athletes, transformed into the business world.

‘The 12 Week Year’ incorporates the proven disciplines and principles of effective execution into the context of 12-week execution cycles. It’s about taking back control of your day, increasing your income, and accomplishing your goals in record time. If you had followed their system you would now be at the end of your first of four twelve-week blocks.

 

Matthieu Ricard is a Buddhist monk and French emissary to the Dalai Lama.  His book, “Happiness – A Guide To Developing Life`s Most Important Skill”.  Simply, he states happiness is surely everyone’s life ambition, irrespective of how we each earn our money?

Matthieu was a keynote speaker at the four-day Sydney conference. He expertly combines his talents as a philosopher and a scientist and elicits a rigorous and compelling analysis of his subject.

He reminds us that as we change as individuals, we ultimately change the world! Surely a very good idea?

“It`s a brilliant synthesis of twenty-five centuries of the wisdom of Buddhism, with the neuroscience and cognitive psychology of the twenty-first century.

“Matthieu Ricard, who embodies both traditions of Buddhism and contemporary living, gives humanity a gift it desperately needs now: a vision of a positive human future”.

 

Martin Seligman, author of ‘Authentic Happiness is a very strong promoter within the scientific and education communities of his theories of positive psychology and of well-being. His theory of “learned helplessness” is popular among scientific and clinical psychologists.  Books:  Learned Optimism, Flourish, and 15 more

 

Dr.Wayne W. Dyer says simply “You are the sum total of all the choices up until this moment.”

Leadership Must Haves in Covid 2021.

I believe business owners can benefit by continually investing in new yet simple people management processes.

Strategies and Management Structures For Local Business https://smallbusinesschronicles.com/strategies-and-management-structures-for-local-business/ Mon, 29 Oct 2018 01:35:59 +0000 http://smallbusinesschronicles.com/?p=2305

We help local business, small businesses, contractors, and all types of entrepreneurs build a “life biz” so they can earn 6 figures a year working way less than in a J.O.B!   We emphasize the importance of focus on strategies and management structures essential for local small business.

 

SMALL BUSINESS CHRONICLES IS ALL ABOUT THE BUSINESS OF BUSINESS … ABOUT TODAY’S NEWS AND STORIES … AND WE`RE HERE FOR LOCAL, ONLINE, OFFLINE BUSINESSES, START-UPS AND THOSE BUSINESSES IN NEED OF RENEWAL.

 

Local Business

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At ‘Small Business Chronicles’ we know how hard it is to establish, to run, to be progressive in running a business.  We know how it`s quite easy to fail!  We know that there are many pitfalls, many bumps in the road to business success. We`ve had lots of company of those who have also failed.

 

So, “Small Business Chronicles” aims

  • to share Current News,
  • to share Breakthrough Thinking from the minds of top leaders.
  • to share tried and true business systems and processes that have been proven to work.
  • We have products and services which aim to keep entrepreneurs on a continual learning curve.
  • We have systems and processes which keep the business of business “simple”.
  • We aim not to share products and services that fall into the category of “shiny objects category”.

 

In brief, we emphasize strategies and management structures essential for local small business. Building a customer or client base can be done relatively simply and at a reasonable cost.

Having a consistent growth of new customers is essential!

A customer and client acquisition growth programs for local businesses. People will become more aware of your business` services and products. You will be found when people need you. And we strongly recommend a referral business approach; your satisfied customers promoting your great business is likely the very best marketing you can do. And we have the ideal for referral marketing.

 

Yes, time is a precious commodity in our lives, it`s crazy hard to run a business and to have a precious life where we create a living style full of enjoyment, love, and adventure.

We further acknowledge that entrepreneurship is very, very different from having a job. A job is 35, 40 or 60 hours a week. Establishing a business which you can work at for way fewer hours than ‘those J.O.B.S.’ is initially a hard slog, but it needs to end up as say a 3 or 4 days a week of loving activity that brings in a six-figure income.

These Tips Get My 5 Thumbs Up 👍👍👍👍👍 https://smallbusinesschronicles.com/these-tips-get-my-5-thumbs-up-%f0%9f%91%8d%f0%9f%91%8d%f0%9f%91%8d%f0%9f%91%8d%f0%9f%91%8d/ Sun, 17 Dec 2017 22:50:53 +0000 http://smallbusinesschronicles.com/?p=1677 How many things should you give up if you want to be truly successful?

See why this article gets ….. “My 5 Thumbs Up 👍👍👍👍👍”

 

This is a perfect time of the year to at least start to think about those resolutions about the now, the tomorrow, the goals and outcomes for the next time period?

  • Where to start?
  • What to disregard?
  • What to get rid of?
  • What to keep?
  • What to add in to the new empty spaces?

 

I came across this article a while back and just love to share it from time to time with as many people as I can.  Smart, succinct and very straight forward. No fluff. Very practical!

 

Heres a brief extract and there`s a link below for the whole article down below.

13 Things You Should Give Up If You Want To Be Successful


”Somebody once told me the definition of hell:

“On your last day on earth, the person you became will meet the person you could have become.” — Anonymous


Sometimes, to become successful and get closer to the person we can become, we don’t need to add more things — we need to give up on some of them.

There are certain things that are universal, which will make you successful if you give up on them, even though each one of us could have a different definition of success.

You can give up on some of them today, while it might take a bit longer to give up on others.


1. Give Up On The Unhealthy Lifestyle

“Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.” — Jim Rohn

If you want to achieve anything in life, everything starts here. First you have to take care of your health, and there are only two things you need to keep in mind:

1. Healthy Diet
2. Physical Activity

Small steps, but you will thank yourself one day.


2. Give Up The Short-term Mindset

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” — Mae West

Successful people set long-term goals, and they know these aims are merely the result of short-term habits that they need to do every day.

These healthy habits shouldn’t be something you do; they should be something you embody.

There is a difference between: “Working out to get a summer body” and “Working out because that’s who you are.”


3. Give Up On Playing Small

“Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone, and as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” – Marianne Williamson

If you never try and take great opportunities, or allow your dreams to become realities, you will never unleash your true potential.

And the world will never benefit from what you could have achieved.

So voice your ideas, don’t be afraid to fail, and certainly don’t be afraid to succeed.


4. Give Up Your Excuses …..

and there`s more… head for the link below ….

 

I certainly believe in Review, personal and business.  And I wouldn`t say this year has been a success.  So I`m planning ahead now.  This is one of a series of articles around this theme and I`ll continue to write and share from now til early January.

Please share this around if you feel it`s of value.

Really Useful Business Tips are Hard To Find! — Three Tips That Work! https://smallbusinesschronicles.com/really-useful-business-tips-hard-find-three-tips-work/ Thu, 23 Feb 2017 00:21:59 +0000 http://smallbusinesschronicles.com/?p=1005

Really Useful Business Tips are Hard To Find! Here are Three Tips That Work!.. very valuable bits of information that I came across that will reinforce what you probably already know. Hey, I love reminders! You too?

Im all about review of goals, strategies and checking the markers of outcomes in my business. I do that weekly – not to make major changes, but its the monitoring that make s a difference for me. Am I on track? Did I do as well as expected? What did I mess up on? Did those missed opportunities affect my bottom line? How well did those one on one meeting with new clients and prospects work? Was I too salesy?  (probably).

Im really focused on helping people self discover their own business and personal issues. Much more meaningful. Building trust is key!  New training for me is starting to pay dividends! For me, Im much more comfortable and way less stressed when I work with clients and prospects. ‘Down with the hard sell’, I say… The old ways of selling, put in in the dust bin! (more another time).

So here`s some tips to refresh your mind.  That`s what it did for me.

The new year will be here sooner than we’re ready for, so it’s time we all start planning for Q1 to ensure we have the best 2017 possible.

Here are three of our best planning tips that have served us well as a small business over the past 5+ years.

1. Look at the entire picture and choose focus areas

Consider your past marketing and business strategies and how those have served your overall growth. Once you’ve compiled those thoughts, consider where you are now and how you got there; What are your most successful channels? What were your strongest months? Are there opportunities for repeat business?

Next consider where you want to be one year from now. Then choose 2-3 focus areas to really monitor, analyze, and succeed with over the next 90 days and communicate that with your team.

Some examples of focus areas are:

  • Hiring a new key team member
  • Re-delegating some tasks
  • Giving full attention to an important project
  • Generating more leads
  • Improving systems your team uses
  • Creating a new product or service

2. Make it measurable…

… and more.

The Single-Best New Customer Is — ‘a Referred’ New Customer!!! https://smallbusinesschronicles.com/the-single-best-new-customer-is-a-referred-new-customer/ Sun, 12 Feb 2017 03:52:42 +0000 http://smallbusinesschronicles.com/?p=983 You can throw all the money you want at your marketing campaign — spend tens of thousands of dollars on branding, landing pages, funnels, Facebook, sales letters and postcards — but the single-best new customer is — a ‘referred new customer’.
(According to a study conducted by The New York Times, 65 percent of companies’ new business comes from referrals.)

– And a study done in 2011 by The American Marketing Association, involving over 10,000 customers at a well-known German bank, discovered that referred customers spend more on their first visit, stay customers longer, and have an overall 16 percent higher lifetime value than non-referred customers.

One of the best parts about getting a referral is that referred customers spend more than customers gained via cold media.

The question therefore is… how best to go about maximising the number of referrals?

Rely on a satisfied customer telling another person. Rely on a satisfied customer having a great memory about your business details. Rely on a satisfied customer having your business card with them ready to pass on.  Sounds like ‘a big dose of hope’ to me. Lots of uncertainty for sure.

Science has shown that mindfulness meditation can have a positive impact on a huge range of health conditions, including cancerdepression and post-traumatic stress disorder. The practice has even been found to slow HIV progression and protect the brain from aging

Mindfulness seems to improve nearly every aspect of health — but how? While mounting research has revealed many of the numerous physical and mental health benefits of mindfulness, little is known of the mechanisms underlying these positive changes.

Now, a new study from Carnegie Mellon Universitypublished on Jan. 29 in the journal Biological Psychiatry, demystifies the neurobiological effects of cultivating a focused awareness on the present moment.
