Are you holding onto tasks that you KNOW you should be giving to others, way longer than you should? 

As you’re growing your team and your business – the reality is that you simply can’t do everything. 

If you want to build a really successful team or business. If you want to grow, if you want more revenue and more profit, if you want more clients – then you need to delegate.

Today I want to explore with you why frustration and being frustrated is a good thing.

All of us as leaders, business owners and achievers are always striving. Always striving to do new things, to achieve more, to look at new strategies for winning work or for creating better client relationships, to lead our team better and in general just doing things more efficiently and better. 

Whenever we are trying new things, whenever we are looking to implement new systems or processes or strategies into our team or our business, or really anything new that we try to do - is us stepping outside of our comfort zone. 

And this drive within us for us to always be wanting to do more, achieve more, be better, and in general grow and learn - means that we are constantly stepping outside of our comfort zone. 

So today, I want to explore with you the place of frustration in this whole process. 

You see, we often get frustrated when we try new things. We often get frustrated when we step outside o...

Hope you’re well. 

All of the work that I do with my clients in my coaching programs is based on three core pillars. These 3 pillars are called Your Growth Model. 

The first pillar that I work with my clients around is Attract. This is doing all the things that are going to help you win more work, help you attract better clients into your team or your business, generate more revenue and repeat business from your current clients and allow you to have more confidence in your project pipeline. 

The second pillar is Perform. In this pillar I work with my clients on the performance of their team and their business. Helping them improve their client relationships, getting their clients really happy with the work that they’re doing and turning their clients into what I call raving fans. We also work on their team performance - getting their team humming really nicely as well as looking at their leadership skills to ensure they are doing everything they possibly can to lead their team and t...

Do you know whether your mindset and your thoughts are supporting you and where you want to take your career, your team or your business? 

Or holding you back? 

Do you notice that you have some thoughts and perhaps a mindset that at times doesn’t support you and where you want to be taking things? 

Do you notice sometimes that you’re just not in the right headspace to create great outcomes and that you feel flat or tired or just not with it? 

Do you just sometimes feel like you’re not dialled in and ready to make the most of each hour, each day, or each week? 

You see you can have the best strategy in the world. The best game plan. The best to do list. 

But if your mindset is not right, if your psychology isn’t supportive of your game plan and your strategy, then you’ll be spinning your wheels and going nowhere. 

I don’t want to repeat something that you probably already know, but I’m going to anyway…. 

Mindset is everything. 

And the exciting thing is that our minds are ma...

Today I want to explore with you why being busy means that you can't and won’t be a good leader… 

Big statement I know! 

You see, most of us are so conditioned to being busy. We think that being busy and ticking things off our to-do list, running around all day every day and getting to the end of every day exhausted is the way to achieving the success that we want to achieve. 

However, the issue with being busy all the time and trying to get things done all the time is that you're never slowing down and taking the time to think strategically about where your team or your business is going. 

Let me explain. 

By being busy all the time you are robbing yourself, your team and your business of your ability to think creatively, your ability to think strategically and your ability to set a vision for where your team and your business is going. 

So by being busy all the time and rushing around all the time and trying to fill your days full of busyness all the time you are actually sabot...

How often do you stop to question and critique where you are spending your time and energy during the week?

Do you know which aspects within your team or business that you do each and every day are your high dollar productive activities?

The only way you will be able to get your team or business humming is for you to get super focused on focusing your time, effort and energy on YOUR high dollar productive activities and the aspects that move the needle the most. 

In today's video I walk you through how to move into a strategic leadership role and the steps required to get you there.

Question for you….. 

Do you step into and embrace uncomfortable experiences? Or do you pull back?

As human beings, we are conditioned to move away from things that stress us. We unconsciously and unknowingly pull back from stepping into uncomfortable situations. 

Today I would like to challenge you to become aware of when you are pulling back from situations or experiences that make you uncomfortable - and do the opposite - lean in! 

Be OK being uncomfortable. That's where the growth is!

In a recent group coaching session in my 10 week & Boardroom programs, we were talking priorities and how to use your time effectively. 

As leaders and business owners, your time is precious and I'm sure there are SO many things you could be doing with your time and your days. 

If you want to get serious about growing your team and your business, generating more revenue and being successful as a leader in ways that are meaningful to you - then you have to get serious about where you are spending your time.

No, this isn't another time management pep-talk. This is about you and I getting serious with each other for a second and getting you to take full and complete responsibility for your time and where you are directing your effort and energy. 

I'd like you to get out a pen and paper and spend 5 minutes writing down your answers to the following:

• Start Doing - what should I start doing in my role to move the needle more?
• Stop Doing - what should I stop doing that is currently ge

Recently I realised there were a few areas of my life and in business where I wasn't 'all in' - meaning areas where I wasn't 100% committed to what I was doing, the outcomes I was looking to achieve and the effort I was putting in. 

I also realised that these were the areas of my life and business that I wasn't get great results in. And because I wasn't getting great results or outcomes, this just further added to my attitude of "why bother" & "there's no point" & "why put effort in here, when the outcomes aren't paying off".

But I also realised that these areas where I wasn't getting great results was actually my choice!

I wasn't putting the effort into these areas of my life - so how could I expect the results to be stellar? 

So I decided to make a commitment to myself, my family and my business - to be 'all in' in every facet of my life. 

When I'm with my wife and my kids - I'm all in! I'm right there, in the moment playing, engaging and being open and present. 

When I'm with ...

What you focus on – GROWS! 

Where you put your effort, attention and energy – that’s the areas where you’ll get the traction and results.

If you focus on lack, negativity, things going wrong, bad clients, terrible fees and a poor performing team – well guess what, that’s what you’ll get! 

In today's video I explore the 3 core areas of Clients, Team and Revenue and how if you really focus on getting better in these 3 areas in your team and business, then guess what you’ll start to get more of? 

You guessed it. More Clients, a well-oiled and high performing Team and more Revenue!
