You need to grow to transition from a 5-figure to a 6-figure business, but you must evolve to scale from a 6-figure to a 7-figure business. ---

If you want to build a top 1% income as a business advisor, you've got to understand how to create "flow." Here are the nine flows in every successful business: In my previous two posts, I've shared the first six of the nine flows... 1. The flow of thought 2. The flow of energy 3. The flow of creativity 4. The flow of work 5. The flow of people 6. The flow of information Here are the final three: 7. The flow of leads Use my MOCAA Method™ for lead gen. * Message * Offer * Call to Action * Ask 8. The flow of clients Use my 6-step Leadership Conversation Framework™ * Connect * Discover * Diagnose * Prescribe * Offer * Commit 9. The flow of cash Use my Cash Flow Tracker™ tool and method * Make it visible * Get the timing right * Manage to a weekly bank balance In my weekly newsletter, The AI Powered Business Advisor, I include tips and strategies each week to help reduce friction and increase flow.

What's causing most blockages in business, is the Mindsets of the owners. Over the past 12 months we've had a LOT of conversations and covered a lot of ground with quality business owners. We've run workshops Nationally, we've worked directly with business owners wanting growth but frustrated they aren't growing, we've unlocked millions of potential profits that was previously not possible and not through simply doing more. From our perspective, the top 3 things that have influenced business growth in 2024 are: 1. Self Awareness of Decision makers 2. Mindset of the Key Stakeholders 3. Awareness of How to Influence profitability The interesting thing that keeps coming up time and time again, is that most of what's impacting business owners and leaders is not the "technical" piece of business. It's the mindset of the decision makers and the way they filter their information to make their decisions. Those in flow, who have businesses that are successful and growing, are often those who are self aware and ok dealing with uncertainty. They have a high level direction they are working towards (we call these Intentions) and are ok being vulnerable, ok sharing / building others, ok saying no to things that don't suit them and their direction, those who are ok empowering their team members to take ownership of their space... and they are ok working towards building a business that sees them become a consultant to this same business. This shift from "I don't know how and it's not possible" to "We made it happen and gee it feels good"... has changed lives. Dealing with uncertainty is easier, understanding how to influence profits is part of normal habits, empowering team members and saying no to that which doesn't align with your expectations... these take a "what's possible" mindset and this doesn't reset itself.

Is THAT the right answer? This is one of my most frequently observed challenges in a meeting. Recognizing the right answer in the middle of a meeting is more difficult than you think. How many times do you wonder why your team is circling the discussion again and again when the right answer was already articulated? It could be that the experience of one team member is not properly understood by the other team members so their contribution is treated equally when it comes to critical decision making. A good approach is to review the decision criteria up-front, ideally citing business goals, product goals, customer needs, market needs, competitive drivers, revenue, expense savings, whatever -- but with the criteria identified up-front, it can make it easier to recognize when the right answer is in front of everyone, a decision can be made, and progress is achieved. Your role may be to act as meeting facilitator, even if you are the leader making decisions. The investment taken to help a team understand how to recognize the right decision is worth the effort (or of course, call on your favorite coach or mentor to help).

Elevate Your Business, Not Your To-Do List! Overwhelmed by Tasks? Let’s Change That. Bold Truth: Your business needs a visionary leader, not just a task manager. As an SME owner or entrepreneur, it’s easy to get buried under endless tasks—emails, client calls, team issues, finances… the list goes on. But here’s the reality: 👉 If you’re always managing tasks, your business can’t grow. The Problem: Many businesses plateau because owners are stuck in the weeds, managing daily operations instead of leading with a growth-focused strategy. The Hidden Costs of Staying Stuck: → Missed growth opportunities. → Stress that clouds decision-making. → A business overly reliant on YOU. The Solution: To truly scale and elevate your business, focus on these three areas: 1. Build a Trustworthy Team: Empower your team by delegating responsibilities so you can focus on big-picture strategies. 2. Systematize Your Operations: Leverage tools and automation to streamline workflows and save time. 3. Invest in Branding & Marketing: Build a strong brand that attracts clients, even when you’re not in the room. Imagine This: What could your business achieve if you spent less time on tasks and more time on strategy? CTA: Ready to scale smarter? Let’s connect and explore how you can step into your role as a visionary leader and elevate your business to new heights.

⭐ 11 Key Insights from an enlightening session by 'Diary of a CEO' founder Steven Bartlett! 🎙️ Last Friday, I had the privilege of immersing myself in a 3-hour live event featuring podcaster and entrepreneur Steven Bartlett, where he generously shared his wisdom on navigating both business and life. Steven's anecdotes and narratives were not only captivating but deeply inspirational. Here are some key gems from his talk: 💫 Craft a Personal Mission Statement to guide every decision in building your brand. Your brand should resonate as a distinct alternative in the minds of your audience. 💫 Focus on WHO can solve a business problem rather than HOW it can be solved, emphasizing specialization over being a generalist. 💫 Dispel the Myth of Motivation by weighing belief in success against fear of failure and understanding the value of potential rewards. 💫 Time is your most valuable asset; spend it wisely. 💫 Recognize and leverage your key resources: knowledge, skills, network, resources, and reputation. 💫 Master two rare and complementary skills to gain a significant competitive edge. 💫 Motivate effectively by appealing to ideology, ego, rewards, or coercion (listed in order of effectiveness). 💫 Embrace the reality of the innovator's dilemma; adapt and integrate disruptive technologies like AI into your business offerings. 💫 Success often arises from persistence, learning, and growth through failure. 💫 Pay attention to detail; it's the hallmark of great leadership. 💫 Foster a culture of experimentation and risk-taking within your team, as exemplified by Steven's approach of conducting up to 20 experiments monthly and celebrating failure as a stepping stone to innovation. Steven Bartlett's insights serve as a compass for navigating the complexities of modern business and life, offering invaluable guidance for those seeking to thrive in today's dynamic landscape. #businessandlife #diaryofaCEO #stevenbartlett

I DON’T HAVE ANY WEAKNESSES! How does that statement make you feel? Earlier this week, I asked you to do a SWOT Analysis on your business. And if you’re a solopreneur there was probably a bit of a hesitation because doing that also kinda requires that you put up a mirror 🪞 to yourself and identify your own strengths and weaknesses as the business owner. 🔎 Sometimes it's hard to admit where we could use support, where we are not as strong, that WE might be the reason why our business isn’t doing so well…………. in marketing or sales or technical setup or <fill in one of your weaknesses>. Does that make you any less of a business owner/entrepreneur? NO. It makes you someone who recognizes where there is room for growth or room to seek support. But if we don’t face it, it makes us someone who is ignoring the red flags 🚩🚩🚩, ignoring what our business needs to thrive, ignoring what could potentially be keeping you stuck at a revenue point, or a dead offer, or a cycle of burnout because we are trying to be great at things that we just aren’t great at. 🤯 My advice for you is this. --- Be the expert of your business. That doesn’t mean that you’re the expert in every facet of your business. It means that you understand your business holistically and know enough to know where it’s strong and where it could use some strategic thinking and/or partnership. It means that you know what its weaknesses are and where you need to focus and strengthen. It means that you know what the opportunities are so that you can make a plan to take advantage of them. ✅✅✅ If it makes you feel any better -- change the word weaknesses to challenges and your SWOT becomes SCOT 😛 or weaknesses to Areas of Improvement so…. SAIOT 😉. Whatever it takes to step into that seat of CEO. 💻💥 Whatever it takes. 😉✨ #swotanalysis #swot #businessanalysis #strengthsandweaknesses
