My private 80-20 formula: 80 percent of my time is on 'business' and 20 percent is on 'being fit and limber for business.' The irony in doing this is that my income has quadrupled and my responsibilities have spread, down, down, down. From strategist to file clerk. Maybe you're experiencing the same discovery? Unveil Those Limiting Business Beliefs! Our beliefs often tell us what is. They're absolute. Often they aren't getting us any closer to the business result we dream of.

High Payoff Lessons from Delos, The Captain and Art Have you ever found yourself doing the 'pivot dance.' You know the one. You have the ball of one foot anchored to the ground as the other foot circles around it. You start to step forward, pause, turn back, pause, waver back and forth as you try to decide where you meant to go. Competing thoughts overload your brain until you have to stand still and laugh! Are you doing the 'pivot dance with your business? Make Antoni Gaudi's Secret to Success Your Own! One of my favorite times in my consulting and coaching is when a light bulb goes off and the person I'm working with has an 'ah ha!' moment and spots a new opportunity. It often takes some real in depth probing to uncover the high payoff idea that no one else has spotted. 90% of the time those ideas come your own personal passions and interests.

Syndrome - Use Systems That Work For YOU To be successful in business, you must have systems in place. There are lots of systems 'guaranteed' to work for you—everything from cute little cards that go in your shirt pocket, sophisticated computer systems that 'ding' to remind you of your next item on your calendar, and enormous expensive 'organizers' that every single thought, meeting and commitment are captured in.
