We all desire momentum in our business. We want traction toward our goals. But momentum and direction are not enough.

The challenge is being able to stay on course and to redirect when you’ve lost your footing. That’s why you need to foster a culture of accountability in your daily operations.

Have you been too busy heeding the advice of other leaders, gurus, and influencers that you’ve forgotten what you really wanted for your business? Or have you been doing everything they said but you’re still not getting the results you wanted?

Trying to chase every new fad or every best practice to come on the scene is like riding a neverending roller coaster. Don’t get so caught up in playing the role you think you have to play that you end up losing more and more of who you are in the process.

Do you find yourself in a place where you feel it’s not where you truly belong? 

And you’re just there because it’s what you’re used to?

You’re used to working your 8-5 job. You’re used to not giving yourself the best opportunity to grow. You’re used to the habits that don’t lean in a good direction.

Many leaders tend to shy away from being brutally honest with themselves and with their team.

But you have to know how you’re people are doing and what things are required of you as a leader in order to build a higher level of trust with them.

What many entrepreneurs don’t understand is that mindset impacts their revenue and their profit.

Unfortunately, when you bust through each new level of success, things are going to get triggered. Hence, mindset work is critical to keep your momentum going.

How do you respond in times of crisis?

As humans, we have this fight or flight response. We do it because it’s how we survive in the world.

If you’re dissatisfied with the work output of your team all the time or you’re always finding yourself taking the responsibilities back from the people you delegated, you might be the common denominator in these scenarios.

Are you considering making a career out of speaking on stage? 

Speaking pays well but you have to show up. 

And showing up doesn’t mean you’re just winging it. It actually takes more time, more research, and more effort than you probably think – but you will get there!

Are there any big, audacious goals on your bucket list that you still haven’t done because you’re too afraid of failing?

Sure, you could trip and fall many times – whether that means only three people showed up at your first webinar or you didn’t get that deal of a lifetime, whatever that may be – but falling is not failing.

Did you know you can actually build habits in five days or less?

Dr. BJ Fogg, director of the Behavioral Design Lab at Stanford University, has created a science-based method called Tiny Habits®. Together with Linda Fogg-Phillips, they’ve created the Tiny Habits Academy, a program that teaches people how to create new, lasting habits quickly and easily.

As leaders, we have to be open to people disagreeing with us. But it is important that we set up a framework for how you can share disagreement within your team.

As a nation, we’ve helped each other in ways we never thought possible at this time of the COVID-19 crisis. And it’s amazing how all these companies have come together to help each other out.
