Following the path matters more than seeing around corners Daily short-termism kills more strategies than wrong forecasts. Companies go to great lengths to align their long-term goals with everyday tasks. Most of them use a cascading approach. But one can’t cascade overarching goals into atomic actions. It’s easy to think strategically once a year. It’s hard to act strategically every single day. Central Strategic Principles are a great help. Give your team some principles that will help them make short-term decisions. –      Which customers are a priority for us? –      Which of their needs do we focus on? –      What value do we create for them? –      What competencies, assets, and processes do we develop to support value creation, and how? Cascading strategic goals can answer many questions. Central principles can answer all questions. A management team is not an orchestra under the command of a conductor, but rather a jazz band. The leader sets the main theme, but the musicians improvise. –– If this post was helpful, please share it and follow me for more.

I’m not about that life. I’ve built two successful companies OUTSIDE of coaching, and I’ve spent the last 8+ years coaching businesses from the ground up, across all industries—sleep consultants, mechanics, e-comm brands, lawyers—you name it. 👉🏼 Here’s the difference: I don’t just coach “coaches.” I’m in the trenches with real businesses—scaling, growing, and optimizing from the inside out. I know what works because I’ve lived it. From therapists to tradies, from hairdressers to e-comm CEOs—the fundamentals of business success are the same, but the way we get there? That’s where I come in. 🙌🏼 Your business doesn’t need a cookie-cutter strategy—it needs a custom, high-level approach tailored to your goals, your values, your vision. You don’t need another “high-ticket” course, you need a mentor/consultant who understands that your business is unique, and I’m the one who’ll help you scale that shit to levels you haven’t even dreamed of yet. I’m not here to sell you fluffy success formulas. I’m here to help you create systems, structure, and strategy that takes your business from good to un-fucking-touchable. If you’re ready to build a business that’s so solid, it can handle millions, expansion, and every next-level move—you know where to find me. Your success starts with the decision to invest in YOU. 🖤 Shona #growyourbusiness #90daychallenge #businessstrategy #smallbusiness #womeninbusiness #fempreneur #marketingtips #sawomaninbusiness #aussiewomeninbusiness

"As a business owner, you have the best interests of your company, staff, and products or services. Your emotions and perspectives can be a strong guide for your business's future." ~ Sahar Hashemi OBE, co-founder of Coffee Republic 🚩 Sahar Hashemi emphasizes the integral role that a business owner's emotions and perspectives play in shaping the future of their small business. For small businesses, which often rely heavily on the vision and dedication of their owners, we can't agree more! 🚩 The emotions of a business owner—such as passion and commitment—can be infectious. When leaders are genuinely invested in their business, this enthusiasm often motivates employees, fostering a positive work environment and inspiring a shared vision. 🚩Additionally, business owners make numerous decisions daily. Their emotions and personal perspectives can influence how they assess risks, respond to challenges, and seize opportunities. Understanding one’s values and feelings can lead to more authentic and impactful decision-making. 🚩 Before the year ends, reflect on your business achievements and acknowledge the team behind the scenes to create a great 2025. #businesscoach #businesscoachonline #mondaymindset #strategicplanning #businesscoaching #businessdevelopment #mondaymindset

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. Do you need a tune up and a reset of what's possible for you and your business?

In business, conformity has its benefits, such as collaboration, learning by observation, and creating cultures that share the same values and norms. However, conformity alone will not lead your business to success. If you watch the whole video, you will learn that. Firmness builds a strong business and team foundation; creative thinking with innovation is what will drive success and progress. It is important to balance conformity with creativity and the willingness to try new things and take calculated risks. #smallbusinesscoaching #businesscoaching #businesscoaches #smallbusinesscoach #businesscoach #smallbusinessadvice #businessowners #businesstips #businesscoachnearme #smallbusinesscoachnearme #conformity #dalecarnegie #DaleCarnegieTraining #benefitsofconformity #creativityinbusiness #drgerardpuccio #DrGerardPuccio
