We Are At The Half-Way Point

Hello July

July 1st is the beginning of the rest of 2016. Half of the year is behind us. And this half-way point is an ideal opportunity to look in the rear view mirror and review our year-to-date endeavors.

Let’s take a moment and honestly recognize the great things you’ve accomplished from January to June, 2016. Celebrate with enthusiasm what you’ve committed to and what you’ve achieved.

Then, let’s take another moment and tune in to what you hope for, but haven’t achieved yet. The big word here is YET. There are another 6 months ahead to reflect, consider, reorganize, and determine if your behaviors, practices, approach, feelings, thoughts, stance, strategies, etc., are helping or hindering your goals.

Are you on track? Do you even remember what goals you set at the beginning of the year? Have you exceeded your expectations? Are you close to the finish line?

LET’S BE HONEST…

If you are not overjoyed with your progress so far – if it doesn’t have you doing the happy dance of success – then you have some choices. You can delete this message, keep doing what hasn’t worked for the first half of the year, and continue nurturing the habits that keep you stuck. If that delusion is comfortable, then keep sitting on that couch.

BUT…

If you really want to dig in and step up your game, get the results that are possible and knock it out of the park in the second half of this year, then we want to help you do that.

The first step to take is to sign up for the A-Game that starts on July 27th. It’s a perfect way for getting faster and better results for your business. Laura W. said, “I signed up for the A-Game several times, and each time I learned something new. And my business grew every time. I can’t say enough about the positive impact the A-Game has had on my business.”

Go to www.lanebc.com/events right now and sign up. If I don’t deliver on the promise of results that the A-Game will have for your business, I will refund every penny + $100 on your investment. I am that serious about helping you make the rest of 2016 bigger and better than ever.

Stop putting your goals and dreams aside because you’re busy! Or preoccupied or swamped or whatever …

Do you really think that you’ll get better results if you don’t step up your game, get off the couch and strengthen your resolve and intention to just do it?

Commit to one hour per week for 10 weeks where we focus on the A’s of AWARENESS, AUTHENTICITY, ATTRACTION & ACTION to build your referral based business. If you don’t make this commitment to yourself, what else will you commit to?

Mind Your Business

Mind Your BusinessWhat does it mean to mind your business?

The “minding” of your business means paying attention to the basics of marketing, sales, financial systems, production, distribution, regulations, efficiencies, the customer experience and more.

The customer experience dictates all the rest. If a customer does not see you as providing value and service, there will most likely not be a second chance for you to connect with that customer. Read more

Thriving or Shriveling?

SuccessWhy do some businesses never make it?

This is a question that haunts me as I coach, observe and interact with many small business owners.

My theory is that the businesses that thrive are constantly and consistently on the look out for new customers while they nurture and foster the relationships they have with their current clients and customers. They are ever conscious of both prospecting and cherishing. If the answer is this simple, then why do business owners neglect these activities? Read more

… You can do to improve your productivity?

More and more, I hear my clients say they are finding it harder to make time to do actual work!

They are looking for ways to be more productive and are convinced that they must be doing something wrong. There is no secret “one-size-fits-all” system to address this dilemma, but rather there are many approaches from which to choose. I suggest experimenting and trying various systems and methods to find what fits and works for you and your business. Read more

Is Your Small Business Thriving?

Why do some businesses thrive and others never make it?

This is a question that has haunted me for over 15 years as I’ve coached many business owners from Florida to California.

My theory is that thriving  businesses are constantly and consistently engaged with their customers and clients and are on the look-out for new customers. They never stop prospecting. So, if there is this simple answer, why do business owners stop engaging with their current customers and stop looking for new customers? Read more
