Effective leadership is the ability to lead yourself. Take ownership, responsibility & accountability for our actions. Blame, excuses & denial tend to challenge our mode of thinking and we start defending our current position. Are you leading yourself effectively? #lead #success

Are you CREATING or CONSUMING? One will set you up for success, one will debilitate you. Take note of how often you are in CREATION mode vs CONSUMPTION mode, then set goals to spend more time in Creation Mode next month. How often are you creating? #MikesTake #create #publish

Powerful pitching clearly communicates your message in a way that influences supporters into your projects. Pitching is an important skill, if something is of great value but no one can understand it, you’re not going any further. So, what do you do? #MikesTake #pitching #power

Inspired by the true life story of Harriet Tubman, a women in the 1950s who freed over 800 slaves. It's amazing to know the extreme circumstances people lived through and helps me realise that I have no excuses for whatever problems I think I have. #MikesTake #Inspiration #doco

We're moving into a world were people want to do business with a person, rather than a brand. The quickest way to build trust is to put yourself at the forefront of your business. So, connect, tell your story and build genuine relationships. #MikesTake #unique #standout

What's the difference between people who make excuses and people that get results? Commitment. If you're commited, you'll do whatever it takes to achieve the dream. So what's your excuse? #MikesTake #commitment #excuses

As the year progresses, I wanted to revisit a question I asked at the beginning of the year. Which of the following do you believe you might need to focus on? ▪️Build your profile ▪️Publish more content ▪️Perfect your pitch ▪️Form partnerships #MikesTake #pitching #sales

The operator trap is when the Founder of a business has so much knowledge, wisdom, and responsibility, that the business can’t run without them. Avoid this! The end result is burnout and failure. Escape the operator trap to run a fun, flexible business. business.facebook.com/MikeClarkEntre…

These days, the competitive advantage is not just in hard work, everyone works hard. It's expanding the way we think, connecting with the right people and spotting fresh opportunities. Are you working harder than you need to? #mikestake #work #influence

Take the stress away for your clients. If you have a 4-step sales process and you are at stage 1, let the client know they won’t be expected to make a decision about purchasing today. Immediately they’ll feel more relaxed. Do you have a sales process?

The harder you work, the less you earn.  In the modern economy, hard work is not a competitive advantage anymore; everyone works hard. But not everyone is vital.  Success isn’t about engaging in a struggle, it’s about getting into your flow. How do you get into your flow?

Imagine if Manchester United Football Club decided that its players were good enough already and didn’t need to train any more. How long do you think the team would stay in the Premier League? I’d love to know - have you signed up for any online courses recently?

When they’re being sold to, clients are typically in a state of cautious curiosity. The number of sales we make is directly proportional to the quality of the questions we ask. Could you be asking better questions?

When we are faced with a decision, our brain takes us through the same process every time: the BUYER cycle, known as the decision-making cycle. Speed up your client’s BUYER cycle by understanding where they are in the process. Do you have a sales process?

After joining the KPI Program, Sarah Hunstead did more revenue in 9 weeks than in her first 18 months of trading combined. Watch the video on my other social media to hear her story. #MikesTake #influence #growth

You will continue to project your beliefs and objections until you overcome them. If you believe that your product is overpriced, you’ll face price objections. Clients will intuitively sense your doubts. Can you increase your sales by increasing your certainty?

It's mission-critical that you understand the strengths and weaknesses of each member of your team.  Then you can play to your natural strengths and outsource the things you don’t enjoy doing. Do you know your team’s strengths and weaknesses?

The real money comes from offering an implementation solution.  I’m hosting a workshop later this month where I’ll reveal the top lead generation strategies that are working right now 👇👇👇 my.dent.global/bne/workshop/

Sally Arnold, business coach, author, and speaker, was only booking one or two speaking gigs a year before she went through the Key Person of Influence program. Now, she books one or two speaking gigs every month!
