I recently heard an industry consultation say “Everyone deserves to start a business, not everyone deserves to stay in business.” I like you was a little jolted by this statement, but quickly my problem-solving side jumped out and I began thinking about what is it that some small business owners do that gets them into the “deserve” camp and allows them to grow and thrive. As small business owners we know we have challenges to overcome so what do the contenders do differently from the pretenders? We are going to ask you to hold up the proverbial mirror and ask your selves the hard question that can lead you to answer “Am I doing what I need to do to give my business a chance for success.?”

“What will people think of me?” How often do you hear these words in your head? And how often have they stopped you from doing what you need to do to achieve your idea of success? We stop ourselves from speaking out or taking action because we are afraid of being judged by others. But when you let the fear of other people’s opinions hold you back, you’ll never have the opportunity to discover what you’re truly capable of achieving. This week we will discuss how to conquer your fear.

I spend a lot of time sharing concepts for creating success, templates, and roadmaps for planning and proper foundations. I always get great feedback but then scratch my head when people continue to struggle. But what I have determined is people end up stuck in the “Shelf” help loop. They take in information. They believe in the information but never actually put it to work. It just sits on the shelf in their mind collecting dust. You are not rewarded for what you know. You are rewarded for what you DO with that knowledge. So how do we get into action? How can we create forward momentum? We will discuss all of that and more. Tune in!

Here’s something very important that many people (maybe even you) haven’t realized. You have control of only three things in your life—the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take (your behavior). And how you use these things determines everything you experience: if you don’t like what you are producing and experiencing, you have to change your responses. If you keep on doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got. So if you want to level up your business, you need to start doing things differently. In this episode of #SBSVideo, Jack Canfield is going to teach us how to modify your behavior to help you create the results you want, regardless of the event.

This week is going to be awesome because we are going to eliminate any excuses from your life and business. As you learned in Jack’s last video, only you are responsible for the results you’re currently experiencing, and that every outcome you experience in life is the result of how you’ve responded to an earlier event. This includes blaming others, complaining about your outcomes, and making excuses. Jack is going to share a game that will ensure that you never complain or blame others about their results again.
