The Top 10 Ways to
Get Your Business Mojo Back
 1. Design your outcomes. Deliberately create what you want in every situation.
2. Keep agreements. Consciously make and keep agreements. Take ownership for your dropped agreements and clean up any mess.
3. Communicate on purpose. Choose both how and what you communicate. Listen to make a difference instead of listening to defend or blame.
4. Create powerful habits. Transform your company’s habits using 5 simple steps:
- Be crystal clear about the result you want
- Commit to changing the habit
- Monitor your progress
- Keep practicing, without reproach
- Celebrate any progress toward the goal
5. Choose your conversations. Notice what you tell yourself about others, about the situation and about yourself. Enter conversations by choice.
6. Own it. Take responsibility for everything even if it’s not your responsibility. This is NOT the same as acting as if everything is your fault.
7. Be visible. Tell the truth, be candid, and openly share information.
8. Notice what works. Notice what works based on your desired outcomes and be willing to change your strategy if it’s not working.
9. Ask for what you want. Actually ask for what you want, clearly and directly. Appreciate what you get and keep asking…proudly.
10. Promote everyone. Look to see where and whom you can serve.
"Why is my staff complaining instead of helping me?"
"How can I get excited about my business again?"
Several of you contacted me over the past month requesting help with problems and challenges you’re facing in your business. I invite you to practice a few of these proven strategies and watch your business mojo revive.
