Boomers and Millennials see things differently and that is 100% okay. Neither group is right and neither group is wrong.

I see ‘The Gurus always talking about that you live in one or two places…

Either you need to be hustling always cause ‘winners never turn it off…’

… the other Gurus say that if you can’t chill whenever you want, then you don’t really have a business.

These two points are both WRONG! WRONG! AND WRONG!

Business and people have a rhythm. Click here to read another article on the subject.

If you want to grow your business right now, then you’re probably going to feel more fulfilled by doing more action steps and busting your ass right now.

If your business is established, and you feel like you want to put your feet up and rest then you are probably going to feel better taking some time out for your

family…friends…hobbies

Maybe you’re feeling like “I’m not going to live forever, and some things are more important than working.” If that is the case, then why shouldn’t you take some time off?

When you look at each scenario you can see and feel the rhythm in each example. Based on the rhythm of each business and person, the answer of what to do becomes pretty obvious.

What if you feel like you are somewhere in the middle?

My suggestion is to carve out some time to work and grow AND carve out time to chill.

Bottom line…

Stop listening to the idiots, both baby Boomer and Millennial Gurus telling you that you’re either succeeding or failing by your level of activity. Do what is right for you based on your rhythm.

Everyone is different and everyone need to hustle and rest at different times. Do what is right for you.

I lectured last week to a very nice audience that booked me pre-pandemic, after numerous cancellations we finally made it happen.

The first thing I asked was, “How many people want to earn a minimum of seven figures annually?”

As you can guess all hands went up.

The next question I asked was, “How many people are willing to do the work to earn seven figures annually”? As you probably guessed, the majority of the hands went down.

Interestingly, one person asked, “What does the work entail?” A fair question, I thought and proceeded to answer, “I don’t know. Everybody and every business are different. I can shorten the answer to this…would you be willing to do whatever it took to achieve your goal?” “Would you work 100 hours a week, take no vacation, never see your family for a period of time to achieve the goal?”

You see folks growing a business and a life is serious business. Dipping a toe in will not cut it. You have to be better, faster, and nimbler than your competition or they will eat your lunch.

This is the biggest mistake that I see small business owners make. They wish and hope for results without creating a plan. What I painstakingly do with my clients is to create a a plan and roadmap complete with actions steps. Do you know what? It works!

Last year twenty-three of my clients became a millionaire by using the aforementioned strategy. You can join their ranks too whenever you are ready to create a plan and be willing to put the time in (and then some) to execute the plan. The benefit to sacrificing now is that you can coast later on down the road.

Personally, I busted my ass when I was younger. I still bust my ass today but not as hard as I used to because of what I created when I was younger. It took discipline and accountability to make it happen. I am no better, or smarter than you. If I can create an awesome life and business, you can too.

Yesterday we discussed that my grandfather used to say, “rich or poor it is better to have money.”  We also discussed a couple of good tips to get your financial house in order. Click here to read yesterday’s tips.

Here are some more tips and tricks to help you make and save more money.

Invest in What you know and what you are comfortable doing– I agree options are exciting and cool. However, if you don’t know what you are doing you will get crushed! So before you invest in anything, learn about it first. You should also stay within your risk tolerance. There is no reason to invest in something if you are going to lose sleep over it.

Own your own business- I understand that not everyone is capable or should own their own business. You will have to search within and figure that out for yourself. However, if you are capable of owning your own business, do it because it ensures your ultimate success.

Having a job is great but your boss will get rich, not you; and your paycheck will only come as long as your boss wants to pay you. Also, you lose all freedom of time.

Business ownership affords you all sorts of tax benefits, the ability to work as much or as little as you wish and the ability to control your destiny. If you are capable of owning your own business, make it happen.

Life is too short not to have a dream job or business. If you want a new career where you can work from home, earn $250,000+ per year and really make a difference in other people’s lives, CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE. about joining our team. You will be blown away when you watch the video!

Create an emergency fund-According to Forbes, the average American does not have an extra $400.00 saved to handle an emergency. That stat just sucks! Do not let that be you. Start saving a $1.00 per day on the low side and obviously more if able. Keep putting it away consistently. Over time it will accumulate. Put away 12-18 months of expenses as your goal.

Invest early and invest consistently for retirement-I started saving for retirement when I was 24 years old. I have advised my kids to do the same. I did not understand the advice at the time because retirement was decades away. My kids feel the same way. Now that I am 60 and don’t know where the decades have gone, I am quite happy I heeded the advice, and my kids will be too when they get to be my age. I explained in the last newsletter that consistency and persistency are the keys to anyone’s success, yours included.

The way you get wealthy is by the compounding of interest over time. Start putting away something towards retirement in tax advantaged accounts with the goal of maxing out each year. Do it early and often!

Everyone can have financial security. It takes discipline and perseverance. Sure, it is easy to buy a bigger car or house. Of course, you can put purchases on a credit card. Or, you can make up your mind to be financially independent and make different choices. The choice is up to you. Start with these best practices and stay tuned for more tips.

My grandfather used to say, “rich or poor it is better to have money.” You know what? He was right. Money buys you better nutrition, better necessities, better education, better maintenance and upkeep on everything in your life and peace of mind.

Since everyone strives to have more money; it baffles my mind how people are such poor stewards of the green stuff.

Here are some tips and tricks to help you make and save more money.

Keep your fixed costs down– Your rent, mortgage, telephone, insurance bills etc. will come every single month without fail. These are called fixed costs. The key to wealth accumulation is keep those pesky costs DOWN! Buying or renting a smaller home keeps your mortgage or rent down. It keeps your taxes down. It lowers your insurance costs, maintenance costs and electric costs too. Do you really need that bigger house over a smaller one?

What about your car? Do you really need the more expensive one which raises your insurance, gas, and maintenance costs over the less expensive one?

Pay off Debt and stay out of debt before you start investing-Debt is the absolute killer of dreams. As the Fed continues to raise rates your debt becomes more expensive. The key is to stay out of debt in the first place. If you have debt, then the key is to get rid of it as quickly as possible. Use this thought…DEBT=CANCER (DEADLY, UGLY CANCER THAT WILL RAVAGE YOU AND ULTIMATELY KILL YOU) Do you still want to use that plastic?

Clients often ask me what they should invest in. I agree, investing is a huge key to wealth accumulation after you get rid of debt. Getting loan and credit card balances down to zero and keeping them there is a very straightforward way strategy for increased wealth.

Start with these suggestions and tomorrow I will give you some more tips.

Did you ever wake up in the morning and everything seemed perfect? You felt well rested, no aches, no pains, and you felt calm and at ease? Success routines will help.

That state is called effortless ease. Contrast that to the alarm going off late, no hot water for your shower, a stubbed toe and a fight with your spouse.

We have all had both scenarios. How can we create scenario one over and over again is the focus of today’s newsletter?

To grow a successful business and life you will need and want more scenario number one’s, so let’s get to it.

Everything in life has a natural and harmonious rhythm to it. The ocean waves come in with a certain rhythm and go out. We breathe with a certain rhythm. The flowers bloom and die with a certain rhythm. Well, guess what we have certain rhythms too!

The key to having a good positive rhythm is to create it with a success routine. These are the steps that I use that have worked for me for over thirty years. They will work for you too.

Create a morning routine that is done consistently. I never ever miss a day. My routine consists of affirmations, visualizations, meditation, prayer and exercise. I also write in a journal and look at my goals. Let me emphasize…I NEVER MISS A DAY! EVER!

My afternoon routine is I evaluate my goals again and determine if my daily action steps are moving me closer or further and I tweak accordingly. I also do a gratitude exercise. Let me emphasize…I NEVER MISS A DAY! EVER!

My evening routine is an evaluation of my action steps for the day. Post-mortem analysis of the day (evaluate what worked and did not work) Gratitude exercises, prayer, and reading. Let me emphasize…I NEVER MISS A DAY! EVER!

By executing those action steps, I create a rhythm to my day that over time becomes the natural state of order in my life. Now, is everyday Christmas for me? Absolutely not! I have crappy days too, however, they are very few and far between. You may want to try the above suggestions for yourself CONSISTENLY AND PERSISTENTLY FOR six months and evaluate for yourself if it creates a better rhythm in your life too.

If I say Tony Robbins, Mark Cuban or Kevin O’Leary you know who they are immediately. As a matter of fact, on Shark Tank, Kevin O’Leary always says when “I put my name on something it automatically grows.”

Do you know why? Because he is the brand. Tony Robbins and Mark Cuban are their brands too. They get paid millions of dollars not because of what they do but because of WHO THEY ARE!

Who are you? What do you do every day to nurture and grow you? How are you building your brand?

The first thing to do is think about how you want people to perceive you. Next, create your ideal client and determine what problems they have that “Your brand” can solve.

Consistency is key. Keep posting and post some more. The trick is to make your posting relevant for that target audience.

If you are consistent, in time you gain more and more of a following and your brand will be created. Please note, it takes time to build a great brand and seconds to destroy it. You must uphold your brand by having integrity always, practicing common sense things like returning communications in a timely fashion and being an ambassador of customer service.

If you nurture your brand and treat it like gold (which it is), that brand (you) will reap the rewards decade, after decade, after decade.

You deserve the best life and business, don’t you? If you are not happy where your business is, speak to a friend, colleague, another business coach, or me. Action steps are what will create results. Wishing and hoping are not strategies.

Please look at the picture above. Seeds were planted and then a routine was set. The routine will either create fruit or famine and you can literally measure those results.

The same for your business. Your routines are creating measurable results either good or bad. The nice thing is results don’t lie!

For nineteen years, I have been working with small business owners just like you to create or change their non-working routines into fruit-bearing routines. Here is the great news…you can be helped too.

Do you have a morning routine that will set your day for success? If you don’t, what would happen to your business if you did?

Do you have a set up systems that your business runs by; or does the business run you?

Last year alone twenty-three of our clients became a millionaire. Each had the same type of response…”That was easier than I thought once I had the guidance.”

Results are what is measured. If you are happy with your results do nothing. If your results are poor talk to a friend, colleague, another business coach, or me. If you want to grow faster than you are, talk to a friend, colleague, another business coach or me. After thirty- six years of being in business and after nineteen years of coaching small business owners just like you, you should be confident that you can be helped too.
