Yesterday, someone asked me what was the most common mistake I saw small business owners making.
I was able to answer immediately, as I see examples of this literally every working day of my life!
The single biggest mistake I see people make, is that they believe they can carry on, with the same mindset, taking the same kind of actions and avoiding the same core disciplines, and that things will “just get better” somehow.
Jim Rohn used to say that our future holds one of two possible outcomes; namely the inevitable rewards or unavoidable regrets of our past actions. He was absolutely right.
The need for action
It’s great to want things to improve, but without the determination to do what’s required, we are deluding ourselves. Bob may sincerely want to get fitter and have more energy, but if he continues to eat junk and refuses to exercise, nothing will improve. Similarly, if he wants his business to significantly increase it’s revenues and profits, he needs to significantly improve how he develops his business.
If you would like some help with this, I have a great, downloadable audio program, which gives you almost 2 hours worth of my most powerful ideas on motivation and getting the results you need.
Learn the lessons, take the actions and look to the future with excitement, rather than apprehension.
