5 Ways to Set
Yourself Up For Small Business Success [Cont'd]
By Allison Babb
Make time for growth
To accomplish your goals for starting a business or any goals for
that matter, you must become a student of success in that area. I’m
usually surrounded by books, audio CDs, teleseminars, or other
materials that give me guidance, direction, and the recipes for the
success in a desired area.
What commitment can you make to yourself regarding your own growth?
What book will you purchase or get from the library? What program
will you enroll in? Check out

where you can sign up to learn about teleseminars and other seminars
online and offline. Also, checkout the tools and resources

Use the gift of time wisely
I use “the gift of time” wisely. By that I mean, I always have a
book or something with me when I’m forced to wait. When next you
are forced to wait, consider it a gift rather than a hassle.
Rather than complaining about the wait in a doctor’s office etc., I
pull out my book or listen to something on my iPod.
Sure, sometimes it’s just music for my own spiritual and emotional
balance, but other times, it’s a teleseminar I downloaded or an
audiobook (www.audible.com)
that I recently purchased. Commuting time is awesome for listening
to audio that fosters your personal or business growth.
New Year Planning
New Year planning is vastly differently from New Year's
resolutions. Resolutions tend to be wishes without a plan. A plan
has specific daily, weekly or monthly actions with dates by which
they are to be done and sometimes with the people who will hold you
accountable for doing them.
It’s been said if you fail to plan, you then plan to fail.
Intentionally create a plan for what your success environment and
your goals will look like this year. What changes do you need to
make? How can you set up your environment for success? Who do you
need to connect with? What do you need to feed your mind, your
intellect, your spirit….. and start today.
