Turn Woes into Wins!

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

Most entrepreneurs are living, breathing, creative idea machines, multi-gifted, risk-takers, which can be a blessing or curse, or for better or even worse. It is sad to say, I hear all the time: “I have too many ideas”; “I really don’t know what I should do first!”;  “I have so many gifts and talents, I don’t know what to do.”; “I am not the best decision-maker”; and “I have failed in the past.” (just to name a few) . Almost every entrepreneur I have ever met has expressed these woes. Yes, it is super awesome to be so brilliant and gifted, but unfortunately this amazing gift ends up at a standstill and eventually hitting a big wall called, “Analysis Paralysis”. Oh yes, analysis paralysis is where you overthink an action to the extent where you actually never take action and you are stuck. You are stuck in the ‘What if…” zone: “What if my new idea doesn’t take off?”; “What if people don’t believe in me as I step into the new industry?”; and “What if I fail again?”. As Aj Joshi said,”Business is a game of chess, think carefully before every move and make every move count.” ~Aj Joshi The key word is…”move”! 

GREAT NEWS…there is HOPE! You can get out of the “What if…” zone, rise up from the analysis paralysis and turn those Woes into Wins!

Woe #1…A MILLION AND ONE IDEAS: WIN STRATEGY – Write them ALL down! Highlight all of the ideas that are in direct correlation with the vision and mission of your company. After doing your homework to perform a feasibility study on your ideas, prioritize the ones that will make the most impact in the market, while generating the most revenue. The other ideas can be optimized in a business venture, partnering, or collaborating with another company. Just make a Decision!

Woe #2…Multi-gifted and talented: WIN STRATEGY – Live your Life Out Loud…play all the cards you were dealt, leave nothing on the table! Most of the time you can utilize all of your gifts within your primary business. However, if you have a gift that falls outside of your primary industry, well it’s time to launch and explore the other industry. For example, I am a business strategist and a poet (I know go figure…lol!). Just get out there and do it…I did! It’s fun to explore and launch the other sides of who you are. Someone is waiting on that gift or talent that you have kept locked away. Just make a Decision!

Woe #3…Past unwise decisions and failures: WIN STRATEGY – You cannot live in your past. Do not let your past block your future. You must learn from unwise decisions and failures. In every unwise decision and failure is a lesson and blessing; take both and move on! Use the wisdom you learned to launch you into the next BIG MOVE of your life! New products, services, niche market, and partnerships are all waiting for you on the other side of your LEAP over the past. Just make a Decision!

It is time to be like NIKE and “Just do it”! Entrepreneurs stop over-analyzing your next step and just take the next step! You have thought about it long enough, you have done enough research, you have asked for enough advice, and you have been in the “what if…zone” for way too long! Turn yours WOES into WINS!! Just make a Decision! Make a move and make every move count!

Jumpstart Your Business: Become an Industry Leader & Increase Your Bottom-line

Jump-start Your Business: Become an Industry Leader & Increase Your Bottom-line

by Dr. Tylisha Johnson

Does your business need a jump-start?

Are you finding that your business is stagnating year after year with no significant increase in your bottom-line?

Question: When is the last time your business produced a new service or product?

Witty ideas, innovations and inventions are THE KEYS to the Jump-start your business needs!

You can begin by creating an innovative environment that promotes creative thinking. Innovation is imperative to growth and profitability.  Of course, your business exists, because you have the answer to a problem. You may also be very successful, because you have been innovative in the past. However, if you are not continuing to be innovative, your company will have the same problem Blockbuster did (nobody wants that). I think that is enough incentive to get READY TO JUMP-START your business with innovation.

Ponder these questions:

Do you know if there is a niche’ target market with a unique problem (that has not been tapped)?

Do you know what other problems your customers or potential customers are having?

Do you know if there are gaps in product lines or services within your industry?

You can do your research to try and get answers to these questions, but it is not enough to do your research and development internally. You must create an ecosystem of contributors to innovation that taps into the ideas of your customers, suppliers, business partners, employees, and business network contacts. Here are a few tips for creating this innovative environment:

  • Develop a system to collect new ideas from your contributors (set up a link on a portal or your website and/or have a drop box in the office).
  • Monthly meetings should include brainstorming and small group mastermind sessions. Offer an incentive and reward innovation and celebrate success during the launch of the new product/service.
  • Survey your current and past customers for feedback or even give them a space to submit their idea for possible reward (if launched).
  • Look for the brightest and best innovative thinkers in your industry and pay them top dollar. It will be a very wise investment.

Here are few things to consider before you Jump-start your business with innovation or a new invention:

Assess Business Value: Conduct a feasibility study to include a cost-benefit analysis, knowing your target market and project how it will affect your overall company short- and long-term.

The BEST part about Innovation and Invention is:

Industry Leader: Your company not only be “on the cutting edge”, but “BE THE EDGE”. Your company will have a unique competitive advantage in your industry.

Increase the Bottom-line: Your market share and bottom line increases with every new product/service that is in direct strategic alignment with your vision and brand.

P.O.W. Series: Priority

, , , , , , , , , 0

Priority is defined as something given or meriting attention before competing alternatives, the things that someone cares about and thinks are more important than something or someone else and therefore coming or being dealt with first.

In our pursuit of our purpose and destiny we have many things in our lives that compete for our attention on a daily basis. It is imperative to gain control over all of the things that we give our attention to in any given day.  In order to be productive to reach our goals in pursuit of our purpose and destiny we must establish a system that helps us to Maximize Every Moment Everyday (M.E.M.E.)! Overall, we must establish a plan for our lives that includes order, Priority, and sequence to enhance our ability to manage our lives according to our vision. The written plan should include: order, in terms of categorizing, Priority, based on level of importance and urgency, and sequence, regarding phases for overall completion.

John Maxwell, has helped to shift my entire paradigm from Time Management to Priority Management. He states, “Time Management is an oxymoron.  Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives.  Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have.”  We all have the same amount of time in any given day, regardless of your current condition or position in life, from the lower, middle, upper-class to the elite billionaires of the world, we all get the same 24 hours.  It is what we do with that time, that will have the greatest impact on our lives in reaching our goals for business and for life.

If you find yourself “RUNNING OUT OF TIME” each day and not meeting your goals that you set out to reach for that day, you must step back and take a look at that day.  You must reassess what alternative did you choose that outweighed (in terms of importance) the tasks you set out to complete for the day. What did you make a Priority over achieving your goals (barring all family and health emergencies)?

Here is a list of questions that you can use to help you in your assessment:

  1. How important is it to me that I fulfill my purpose and destiny?
  2. Am I intentionally pursuing my purpose and destiny with intensity and tenacity?
  3. Do I have a clear schedule in place that everyone involved in my daily life is aware of and supportive of?
  4. Do I have a strategic plan in place for my business and/or life goals? (Remember: Priorities are easy to identify when you have a plan that includes, goals, objectives, tasks and dates of completion.)
  5. How do I need to reorganize my life to Maximize Every Moment Everyday (M.E.M.E.)?

You may say, “Well Dr. J., you don’t know what is on my plate.” And I will say well let’s check your plate to see how much on there helps to propel you towards fulfilling your purpose and destiny.  It’s time to do a PLATE CHECK! Successful Priority management requires sacrifice! There are times in life that leisurely activities must be limited, inclusive of, but not limited to: television, hanging out with friends, retail therapy, or even curling up with your favorite novel, etc. While I am not here to be a taskmaster, I am here to motivate you to Prioritize and “Master Your Tasks”!

Make your Purpose a Priority! Let’s Tap Into the Power of these words to Power Up and Soar Beyond the Limits! I want to encourage you to post these words where you can see them daily as reminders. We would love to hear about the systems you have put into place that have helped you set priorities and reach your goals.  Please share in the comment section below.  If you would like to share in a vlog or FB Live interview, please let me know. Please help me to encourage others, your testimony is needed to help encourage and propel and inspire someone else to Aspire Higher and Soar Beyond the Limits in business and life to live the Abundant Life!
