What do you do when you change your focus?


Focusing on what is important and what needs to be accomplished can be challenging. However, what happens when you decide to change your focus?

How many times have you set out to do something great but then life happens, unforeseen problems, children, and family and suddenly the great thing you wanted to do suddenly is not your focus.

How do you get that focus back?  Where do you start?

First, you have to be resolved to stay focused! Just because you made the decision to accomplish something doesn’t mean life will stop so that you can get it done.

Life doesn’t stop because you decided to become focused on your goals and accomplishing your dreams! This is a crucial moment – staying focus is vital to your success!

Here a few key points to remember!

• Focus requires discipline and it is the bridge between focus and accomplishments.
• Focus is when your mind, will and emotions are in alignment for the task.
• Focus is Power

So you are not in your 20’s or 30’s ok your close to your mid 40’s or perhaps  early 50’s. GREAT!  Truly, when starting your own business age does not  matter – you are the one in charge!  What does matter is what you are going
to offer your potential customer.

It really doesn’t matter what age you are starting the important thing is  that you are starting now!  A plan of action is vital to anything that you  want to do….

Now, what if you’re so young you don’t think anyone will take you seriously?   The fact is that you are offering a product or service to your customers  that someone is not. Or you are offering it differently than what your  competitors are.

In the beginning it will be a challenge to set yourself apart however, with  some hard work and dedication you will do it.

Don’t let age stop you from pursing your passion, following your dreams and  living a fulfilled life. Don’t live with the regret of never trying!

Contact Waddell Consulting Services  today and together we can get you started, help you stay  focused and meet your goal of being a business owner!

                                        Here are some great motivational thoughts to help get you in the right frame  of mind:

                                                                     Think of what is possible, instead of what  isn’t!

                                                          The success in my life is a reflection of my  successful attitude.

                                                                I Persevere, I am relentless, I persist, I keep going!

You think you’re ready? You’ve been doing this for a while and perhaps you have paying customers and things are going
great.  Before you JUMP into your business FULL TIME let’s look at some of the questions 

1.      How much are you making as a percentage of your day job?  
2.      How is the income trending from your  small business? Is it a steady income or sporadic? 
 
 Deciding when to quit your day job is a serious decision and  there any many factors that need to be considered before you make that JUMP. 
 
One of the things to look at is how much are you making as a  percentage of your day job? For example do you make $60,000 (yr.) at your  present employment and income from your business is equal to $30,000 a year? 
This would require a serious life  style change and a big sacrifice. Or perhaps you make $35,000 a year and the
income from your business is $40,000. It would seem as if everything would be  great.

Here are some more questions for you BEFORE you tell your  company exactly what you think:

 1.     Are  you customers regular? And dependable?
2.     Is  your income residual? Meaning if you’re not actively selling something will you still have income from your product or  service?
3.      Will  you be able to pay your bills from your  business?

If you can answer YES to all of these questions- CONGRATULATIONS  you are on your way.

However, if you are like most startups your customer base is not  solid just yet; at best you have a few clients perhaps every 6 to 8   months.

Starting your own business of nonprofit can be an extremely  exciting time nonetheless; you want to be careful about how soon you quit your  day job to pursue your business full time. 

I love to share information and make sure everyone can make an  informed decision. If you are just not sure where to go from here or if you are  wondering exactly what do I need to do about those sporadic clients- contact
Waddell Consulting Services today for your FREE 30 MINUTE  CONSULTATION.


 
 
 

Family, Friend, Co-worker, Neighbors you can use a ton of names but  eventually you will need to ask someone a question and unfortunately the family  and friend sector is NOT going to have the most reliable answer. 

Consulting  or business coaching offers you the opportunity to talk with a  professional who can objectively discuss your idea, give you feedback and  suggestions. I have been through the process and I will have answers to your  question. 

Coaching allows you to ask any question, give you direction and most of all  you are accountable to someone. Often times, we have great ideas of starting a  business or a nonprofit but when it comes to implementing them, we fall short! 
 
I have been there! I understand the frustration of knowing that you could  truly do something great but being so exhausted that mentally and physically you  don’t have the energy to complete it. 

Waddell Consulting  Services can offer that one-on-one session that you need to get  your ideas started. Or perhaps you need someone who will hold you accountable as  well as give that extra push you need to carry out your dreams. 

It is my passion and it brings me great joy to watch other people succeed and  to give some helpful information and direction along the way. 

I look forward to listening to you and providing the direction and support  you need to get started on making your ideas a reality!
