180 By When?

The majority of entrepreneurs might not be thinking about quarter four, let alone profits for the last quarter of the year. Today, I’m talking about the tactics you can use to change your mindset to attain your goals. It becomes even more important during the last quarter of the year.

When you implement the "By When" strategies, you are setting up a plan of action for success. Making realistic goals to help you get to where you need to be is the ultimate decision in your business. However, these business goals need adequate time frames you know you have to obtain. Don’t let the lack of prioritization stop you from being successful in your business.

“It shouldn’t be about us serving our business. It should be about our business serving us.”

Today on the Unstoppable Entrepreneur Show:

Implementing the "By When" strategy to relate to your business and yourself
How to create realistic business goals with attainable deadlines
Creating subtasks in your business to improve your financial goals
Knowing when you need to outsource to increase profit
Preventing feeling overwhelmed by setting clear goals
Committing a promise to yourself as you invest in making progress in your business
Developing tactics to increase profit and enjoy life with your loved ones

My Words of Wisdom:

Figure out the best options for your business to develop attainable deadlines
Increase revenues with clear goal setting

182 Debunking the Myth of Balance

How does the fourth quarter look for you? For most entrepreneurs, Q4 is the most time-consuming and profitable season. Most business owners consider a balance between work and life a necessary step, but balance is not what you think. During Q4, you will be working so hard that you might believe that balance is impossible, but you don’t have to be everywhere and do everything all the time.

On today’s episode, I explain why most entrepreneurs reach a burnout point without even realizing it. Your work life and family time may have difficult situations during long work hours, but it’s okay to be unbalanced. As the Q4 season peaks at its maximum, it’s okay to work those extra hours to know it’s going to lead to more attainable goals in your life.

“Work-life-balance is a myth, and balance, in general, is a myth.”

Today on the Unstoppable Entrepreneur Show:

How to stay balanced during the peak times of Q4
Thinking outside of the box when it comes to balancing your life and work
What is the mindset to stay on track during a profitable season
How to avoid burnout if you’re overworking and not going anywhere
Setting up systems to motivate you to be more productive and efficient

Words of Wisdom:

Consider being out of balance as your new form of living and realize it’s okay
Think about the future as you lead a profitable unbalanced work life
