7 Quick Steps to Resetting Your Business

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 13:28:56 +0000

1. Be In Nature- I find the best way to relax is to drop what you are doing and get outside! Even a quick 10-20 mins can do a world of good.

2. Meditate- calming the mind calms the soul which leads to greater focus. Simple.

3. Rest- Taking time to rest and gain focus and direction of where you want to be heading is smart. Use your downtime wisely. Catnap if you have to as it will add to your productivity.

4. Make a Dream List of Goals- Do not loose site of your big picture- make your commitment for the next 10 years and put it on paper!

5. Hire a Mentor- I have had many mentors in my life that have contributed to my success. Why re-invent the wheel? Having access to someone who’s been through it really helps you to learn & bring out your best.

6. Learn about others- Read and learn from the mistakes and achievement of others, and model their success. My two favourites are Chris Gardner & Lisa Nichols.

7. Join a Mastermind Group- Mastermind Groups have been around for many years. It is meant to be a group of successful entrepreneurs who want help or to help others think big. This type of format can help you stride forward with your business.

It is all about balance. Balancing your work and life are important and having proper systems in place and running your business as a CEO and not an employee will help you create that balance in your life. For more information on how to achieve this contact me at info@darcellerunciman.com.

Being INSPIRED is about more than just feeling good. It is about having a passion or drive to do what it is you do best, and the ability to transform it into your business to help and fulfill others on their quest to become what they choose. VividLifeRadio.com helps to inspire conscious individuals, and entrepreneurs to learn, grow and take action. Doing what it takes! This is what we love about The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur.

When we start out in business we are told we should do a business plan, set up a website and some products and begin our business. However is this really what will move us forward or do it does it set us up for failure? The great debate continues…. What we do know is that having a vision of your company, living with intention, and taking concrete steps with some out of the box thinking is what gives you the momentum toward success.

If you have the passion, and the drive to make things happen along with the intention and the balance to do it, all is possible. There is a shift out in the world and those that embrace it will be successful not only in business but in creating what will lead us to a new generation of “being”. Here are 5 quick steps to help you create the path to your vision.

1. We have choices, take action to move forward.

2. We must have Patience, control your limited beliefs.

3. Never Give Up, persistence is key.

4. Be a problem solver with “out of the box thinking”.

5. Have a purpose and a passion for what you are doing.

When we have more reasons to climb that mountain to see the beautiful view from the other side, the fun of the exploration, and the confidence it will bring, that is when our desire outweighs the loss of a bit of comfort. Take the chance on yourself and achieve what you were meant to do by following your passion.

Power of Focus

Sat, 30 May 2009 17:31:18 +0000

Sitting at a cafe one day, I got thinking about what successful people do that others do not around achieving goals. We say we want to be successful; however there are times when things hold us back. Ourselves, fear, situations, change, or perhaps we are working on something so huge that in turn it holds back our success.

A big part of many of our decisions on whether or not to change is based on fear. There are times where it is our limited beliefs. What is holding us back can be their fear around those beliefs. For example if our fear is change then perhaps changing one thing could change our lives but just knowing that is enough to keep us from moving forward to the next level. We tell ourselves so many things to at times negate us from moving forward. Understanding if the beliefs you are having are real or imagined can lead into many insights on what the truth for you is, and possibly what your true real purpose is. So what does it take to find out your beliefs and if they are holding you back?

Focus….

The Power of Focus can be incredible and can lead to great success. So while I believe that women have a special gift of networking and relationship building, I believe that one of a man’s strength that I often see is in the gift of focus that I believe we can learn from.

So take time to focus on what is limiting your belief system. Look to experts to help you get past those blocks be it a hypnotist or a guide you can work with to look into deep rooted beliefs that may be holding you back. Once you have focused in on those items and conquer them through persistence and good habits, you will then find your own truth and path. Enjoying the process is the best part because you will learn so much about yourself along the way.
