😈 Become a Control Freak

YOU ARE THE CONTROL TOWER 🛩️

I'll resume our "Wealthy" series next week. I had to make a quick change today due to some insightful conversations I had with fellow entrepreneurs this week.

I had a chat with someone yesterday (and another person this morning) who felt overwhelmed by factors that seemed out of her control in building her business. I shared this image from my phone as my wordless response:

In a previous newsletter, I mentioned that both Warren Buffett and Bill Gates attribute their success to a single word: FOCUS.

They don’t waste time on anything out of their control. Think of all the conversations and energy you spend during your day concerned about things you can’t control including weather, sports or other people.

Here are 5 key areas that you can control that will greatly benefit you as an entrepreneur and business owner. This will be brief, but it's an important reminder:

1. Your Mindset: Focus on developing a growth mindset, where you see challenges as chances to learn and grow. Your attitude plays a crucial role in how you tackle and overcome obstacles.

2. Your Effort: Consistent effort and dedication are things you can control. Focus your energy on actions that align with your goals and move your business forward.

3. Your Response to Change: Adaptability is essential. Rather than stressing over changes you can't control, concentrate on how you respond and adjust to new situations.

4. Your Time Management: Prioritize tasks that have the greatest impact on your business. Efficient time management helps you maximize productivity and achieve your goals.

5. Your Network: Developing and maintaining connections with mentors, peers (hi Five Words In 👋), and customers can offer valuable support and create new opportunities. You have the ability to build a strong and supportive network.

Remember, focusing on what you can control not only enhances your efficiency but also reduces stress and fosters a proactive mindset. Keep your eyes on the elements that matter, and watch your business thrive.

Stay focused, stay empowered! #iamproudofyou 🥹
