🌟 How are you looking after yourself? 🌟

If you don’t and your health deteriorates who is going to run your business for you???!!!

Here are five ideas to get you thinking about your own Well-being.

1 - Establish a Routine:
Create a daily schedule that enables you to balance work, exercise, meals, and relaxation. Consistency is key! 🕒✨

2 - Prioritise Sleep:
You should aim for around 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. Good rest = better performance. 🛌💤

3 - Regular Exercise:
Incorporate physical activity to reduce stress and boost energy. Find what you love, be it running, yoga, or going to the gym etc. Then maybe find someone else who has a common passion and support each other! 🏃‍♂️🧘‍♀️💪

4 - Mindfulness and Meditation:
It will only take a few minutes each day to meditate or practice mindfulness and you can easily find and schedule a REGULAR slot in your diary to do this. Even just sitting at your desk!! It can be a game-changer for reducing stress and increasing focus. 🧘‍♂️🌿

5 - Delegate and Seek Support:
Don’t try to do it all alone. Delegate tasks and seek advice from mentors, peers and your coach. Teamwork makes the dream work! 🤝💼

It's time to INVEST IN YOURSELF to TAKE CARE OF YOUR BUSINESS! 💪✨

If you are interested in looking after yourself you may want to find out more about my annual business retreat I host here in Malta.

How do you say "THANK YOU"?

More importantly, do you even actually say thank you to your valued clients while you are still working with them and they are investing in you?

Here are a few ideas to hopefully make you think, plan and TAKE ACTION!

- It could just be a simple "Thank You" card in the post
- Make a short phone call to tell them, "You know it's been xx months since you decided to invest in ....... Just wanted to say thank you and that we really do value serving you and your team".....
- The classic - Invite them for lunch out to their favourite restaurant
- Send them a voucher to their favourite retailer for something you know they are passionate about
- Send them a gift related to a hobby or interest that you know they enjoy. something they will value but not necessarily due to the cost, but that you thought about them!

How else do you say thank you?

I recently remembered a blog I had read some time back from Ivan Misner, founder of BNI - The World's Leading Referral Organization about Frogs and Relationships in business, which had resonated with me.

He shared a conversation he had with a fellow Business Owner and then UK Franchise owner of The Referral Institute, Sarah Owen. They talked about, how many people want to know how to discern whether a potential referral source is a good match, and what they can do to increase the likelihood that their time and efforts are being invested in relationships that will harvest a positive return.

Sarah used the following analogy which also stuck with me.
“When we are looking for a good relationship in life, we sometimes need to kiss some frogs to find our prince. People are searching for a way to avoid those slimy, slippery, drawn-out kisses, which can be prolonged over months–sometimes years–only to discover that the frog never turns into a handsome prince.”

So how do people avoid those empty, disappointing referral relationships that turn out to be slimy frogs instead of princes?

It's all about trying to qualify a potential referral source relationship SOONER rather than later by asking the right questions at the right time!

If you need help to save you from kissing too many wrong frogs please do DM me for a no obligation Doorman call.

In the meantime, to discover some of the questions to ask see the link in the comment to the full article.

“If people like you, they’ll listen to you, but if they trust you, they’ll do business with you.”
-Zig Ziglar

As a Relationship Marketing Expert, I can vouch that trust isn't just a virtue, it's a strategic asset.

It's the confidence that turns interest into commitment and transforms transactions into longer-term partnerships.

Let's start by finding out more about each other and hopefully, if we’re aligned we will build trust in each other too.

Would you be happy to be on the substitute bench?

So with the Euros 2024 reaching the knockout stages, I thought of how the game relates to running your business. Read to the end to find out.

So, is it ok not to win every quotation for work you submit?

I believe it’s a yes, as it still has its benefits. Why?

It still gives you the opportunity for potential future work as you have started building a RELATIONSHIP with someone which may come to fruition in the future. However, it all depends on how you approach and follow up.

Here's how you could still gain:

- First thank the still prospective new client, for giving you the opportunity to quote
- Ask for feedback on why they didn't choose your solution. Good learning to use with other quotes too
- Ask if they would consider you for future solutions for their business, that match your offering. This will also make you feel better.
- Agree to stay connected and set a time to meet again, in around 3 months to update each other. This keeps the door ajar 😉
- Finally, the BIG ONE, and link to football. Ask if they would be happy to have you as their No.2 supplier of choice, should their current provider let them down or be unable to solution their problem.

You will be their RESERVE. their SUPER SUB, on the bench, warmed up, ready to run onto the pitch with an understanding of their strategy and requirements to win. This is the WINNING MOVE!

Do you agree this approach would be better than not having a second chance at all?

I believe so. Many business owners often just give up at the "thank you, but no thank you" stage and are not prepared to be on the sidelines waiting for a change in tactics or possible injury to another player on the existing pitch.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

"If you just work on stuff that you like and you’re passionate about, you don’t have to have a master plan with how things will play out."
Mark Zuckerberg

As an entrepreneur, your passion is the driving force that keeps you going. When you focus on what you love, success isn’t just a destination—it’s a journey filled with excitement and growth.

As a Business Relationship Marketing coach, I’ve seen firsthand how passion can transform businesses. It’s not about having every step mapped out but about trusting your instincts and staying committed to your vision.

Whether you're navigating the ups and downs of cash flow, building a strong productive team, or streamlining your strategies, remember that your enthusiasm and dedication are your greatest tools.

Are you ready to turn your passion into a thriving business?

So it's Superman Day, but what is your "SUPER POWER"? (Man or Woman)

I was recently asked this question by a fellow professional coach and it made me think. Not really sure I have a super power or do I? What is it that my clients invest in me for?

It reminded me that earlier in the year I had asked my clients some questions about me: how they benefit from investing in me as their Executive Coach or Mentor. WOW, what a response I had!!

The words they used blew me away and made me very humble and honoured to have such wonderful people around me. Whilst, I'm still not sure I have one super power, it seems like a make a difference to people's lives. The common theme seemed to be based around "PEOPLE" and "INSPIRATION" with both passion and the ability to connect my community with the right people they want to meet or work with in their business.

So what's my super power? I still need to work on that, so watch this space!

Facing ups and downs with cashflow in your business just like a yo-yo? So on National Yo-Yo Day, here are 5 strategies to help you overcome the up and down effect in your business’ cashflow!

📊 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 𝐎𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐓
Create a detailed cashflow forecast to anticipate the peaks and troughs. By knowing what's ahead you’ll be able to plan better and make informed financial decisions in advance.

💡 𝐃𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐈𝐅𝐘 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌𝐒
Relying on a single income source can be risky. Expand your offerings or explore new markets to create multiple revenue streams, reducing the impact of fluctuations. Consider different value products and services.

🚦 𝐒𝐄𝐓 𝐔𝐏 & 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐀 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐓 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐋 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒
Set clear payment terms and follow up promptly on overdue invoices. Consider offering early payment discounts or possibly using invoice factoring to improve your cash inflows.

💼 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐘
Regularly review and optimise your and your team’s expenses. Negotiate with suppliers for better terms and maybe even research for alternative supply chains. Most importantly, question every existing or new purchase to avoid unnecessary expenditures to keep your cashflow steady.

💰 𝐁𝐔𝐈𝐋𝐃 𝐀 𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐇 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄
Maintain a reserve fund to cushion against unexpected financial hiccups. A reserve can keep your business afloat during slow periods and help you seize opportunities when they arise.

Just like mastering a yo-yo trick, managing cashflow requires practice and precision. Are you ready to streamline your cashflow and take your business to the next level?

Let's connect and make it happen!

Have you ever thought about how riding a bicycle is a lot like running a business? Just like a bicycle, a business is all about balance, momentum, and direction.

1. Balance is Key:
As we cycle, we aim to balance and move forward without falling. Balancing your finances, resources, and efforts in the business is crucial to maintain steady growth and avoid accidents on the way.

2. Pedal Consistently:
Consistent effort, innovation, and improvement are necessary pedals to keep the business thriving. Every push, no matter how small, adds up to significant progress over time.

3. Navigate Obstacles:
Cycling often involves manoeuvring around obstacles, and business is no different. Adaptability and quick decision-making help you navigate challenges, turn obstacles into opportunities, and stay on track.

4. Maintain Your Equipment:
Just as regular maintenance keeps a bicycle in top shape, ongoing education, market research, and self-improvement keep your business competitive and agile. Invest in yourself and your team to stay ahead.

5. Enjoy the Ride:
The joy of cycling comes from the journey, not just the destination. Now this is particularly important to me. We need to ensure we celebrate our successes in achieving business milestones, big or small. Enjoy the process, learn from experiences, and keep moving forward with enthusiasm.

Keep enjoying the ride!

How do you give back to your community?

For me, it's about helping charities by giving them my time and knowledge to help and support them achieve their goals.

So today, as we enter Charity Awareness Month I would like to give a shout-out to 2 specific organisations close to my heart. In Sue's Name helping to fight the battle against Brain Tumour Cancer and to the Malta Dementia Society, who are helping all those living with Dementia in Malta.

It would be great if you were able to spare a couple of minutes of your precious time to look them up on social media and LIKE and FOLLOW their pages. Hey, and if you wanted to also help in any small way by making any donations, that would of course be amazing!!!

Thank you.

Are you waiting to find the perfect piece to complete your puzzle?

“The stars will never align, and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn’t conspire against you, but it doesn’t go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect.

‘Someday’ is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you.

Pros and cons lists are just as bad. If it’s important to you and you want to do it ‘eventually,’ just do it and correct the course along the way.”
— Tim Ferriss

What is it that you want to do eventually?

DO you have a VISION of where you WILL BE by 2029? If you need any help, I'll be happy to help you develop this and put a plan of ACTIONS you need to take to make it a reality.

Mastering the 5Ws of Networking!

Do you network or do you network with a PURPOSE?

Let’s explore the 5Ws of Networking that will help you to Network with purpose.

1. Why – Why are you attending a particular networking meeting? To make new connections, to meet people you already know but have not been in touch or to meet someone in particular. List down your reasons for attending the event and now you can plan what you need to do prior to arriving.

2. What – What are your expectations from the event? Identify your goal – Is it self-promotion, work opportunities, etc and what outcome are you looking for? This way you will be able to measure how successful you have been!

3. Where – Is it online or in person? If the in-person event is far off, is it worth travelling all the way or even if it is nearby, is it still worth your time? remember it's not only the length of the meeting but all the travel time too!

4. When – Time is precious, isn’t it? or let's just say, " Time is Money"! You need to make sure you get the right return on your investment. Don’t just attend an event because you have a free slot in your calendar. Maybe you can invest that time in something more productive, like developing a skill, reading or just some ME TIME!

5. Who – Who are you? Have you defined your targeted message to make the other person intrigued about you? If you are aiming to meet someone in particular, have you worked on your specific strategy to achieve it?

Here’s a BONUS Tip!

6. How – Do your homework before and after the event. If possible, ask the host about the list of attendees and research about the event and the attendees. Make notes for future reference, make sure to fulfil any commitment that you may have made during the event to a specific person, identify the set of people you would want to follow up with and make sure you do so!

What are your thoughts on the above networking tips or do you have any tips that have worked successfully for you in the past networking events, do share them in the comments.

How do you support your customers, clients, patients, followers, members…..

Do you have a customer service charter?

In my opinion customer service or support is what helps you retain your customers and make them want to come back for more. More of the experience they have enjoyed while engaging with you and your brand.

Regular Communication with your clients and community is also a key part of looking after them and your business. It's an opportunity to ask their opinion and feedback on your products and services and checking in to ensure all is ok with whatever they may have bought from you.

Next important point is to ensure that ALL your staff understand their role in serving your customers, and the expectations and actually deliver the service you set out in your charter, which should be published widely in-store, online, in receptions ......

These are just a few thoughts. What would be one additional way you serve your customers well, so they want to stay and introduce you to their network too?

It’s time to BOOST your productivity and make the most of your day. Here are 5 actionable tips to increase your productivity! 𝟏. 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲! End your day by jotting down a to-do list for the next day. Prioritise your tasks, so you know exactly what to focus on when you start your morning. 𝟐. 𝐓𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 Start your day by working on what’s CRITICAL to achieve. This your often referred to as your "MIT" – Most Important Task. Completing this task early will give you a sense of accomplishment and set a positive tone for the rest of your day. 𝟑. 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬 Don't underestimate the power of short breaks. Working non-stop can result in decreased productivity. Try the Pomodoro Technique – work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. After four cycles, take a longer break. This method can keep your mind fresh and focused. 𝟒. 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 Identify what distracts you the most and find ways to minimise these interruptions. Turn off non-essential notifications, create a designated workspace, and set boundaries with family or colleagues during your work hours. 𝟓. 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 Productivity isn't just about work; it's also about taking care of yourself. Ensure you get enough sleep, eat nutritious meals, and incorporate physical activity into your routine. A healthy body and mind are essential for sustained productivity. Do you have any other tips? Follow me for more tips on how to maximise your potential and grow your business.

Instagram 'Notes' gives you a personal space to share updates as short text posts (up to 60 characters) with followers you follow back or people in your 'Close Friends' list, who can then reply to them using messaging on the platform. You and others will see your note at the top of the Chats list for 24 hours. After this time, your note will no longer be visible on Instagram. Bear in mind that your note can be deleted by tapping on it, then tapping Delete note. When someone replies to your note, their reply will start a chat between you and them only. Others cannot see who's viewed or replied to your note.

THE FIVE MINUTE MIRACLE According to Forbes, this is one of the best techniques for people who struggle with procrastination. The Five Minute Miracle involves asking yourself; “Hmm, what action can I take in less than five minutes TODAY that moves this forward even the tiniest bit?” Once you’ve identified a small action, set a timer for five minutes and spend five minutes working on the task. Research shows that once you start something, you’re much more likely to finish it. This is due to a psychological phenomenon called the Zeigarnik effect, which says that unfinished tasks are more likely to get stuck in your memory. (This is also why our mind gets stuck in a loop thinking about all the things we haven’t yet completed.) REMEMBER: A SMALL action is still ACTION. Five minutes can make all the difference. What one tip or advice can you share on how you overcome the issue of procrastination? #fightprocrastinationday #businesstip #productivity #businesscoach #referralmarketing #relationshipmarketing
