Yes - its a cheesy AI picture - but it shows me what I was thinking:

"You cant read the label from inside the jar"

This saying has popped up for me a few times this week.

We get so busy in the day to day, that we become our own blind spot....

What I know from years of coaching and being coached:
This statement is always true.

💯As a couple in business, I know we cant read our own label.
💯$10M businesses I work with cant read their own label.
💯Individuals - a golf player can not see their own swing

-and its not always the bad habits we cant see
-we dont always see the things we are great at either.

The way I see it is, the contents of the jar are always changing. What got you here, wont get you there, and like an expiry date - there is a devil on every level.

❤️I love having the unique position to be able to read the labels, and relay the message inside the jar.

Do you have someone to read your label and tell you actually what they see?

If someone could see it - what would they say?

Food for thought 🥫

Feedback is just data.

Our business is our baby, and sometimes taking bad or constructive feedback can sting a bit.

We spend time seeking good feedback and reviews which is great as a testimonial.

But heres the question:
😪If you had a big boogey hanging from your nose - would you want some one to tell you?
😬Are you the type of person who tells someone if they had something in their teeth

Our relationship with ourselves and feedback is also correlated to the feedback that we would give, and would like to recieve....

and it is the same for our business too.

Take the emotion out of feedback, and treat it as data. Go looking for the constructive feedback.
What could we do better?

🏆Feedback is the breakfast of champions

It was great to chat to Lee Dixon on 7AD to talk all things feedback....

Feedback is the breakfast of champions...

✅️Good feedback feels good - but keeps us comfortable

✅️What might feel like bad feedback is actually the stuff we can thrive on

But how do we take challenging feedback?
How do we handle a bad situation on the fly?

What nuggets does Will Guidara drop in his book Unreasonable Hospitality?

Ill be chatting to Lee Dixon tommorow about these things on 7AD - Devonport’s Best Mix
and 7BU - Burnie's Best Mix

Tune in to find out how to use good and bad feedback as your superpower....

🦖Back in my day.......
A listing in the yellow pages was a 'must have' for a business that wanted to be found.

How times have changed

Social media and online precence is the new yellow pages, only far more complex.

❓️Do you need social media?
❓️If yes, where do I start
❓️Is fear holding me back?

I answer these questions and more when I catch up with Lee Dixon on 7BU - Burnie's Best Mix 7AD - Devonport’s Best Mix tommorow at 11:45.

Sometimes in the day to day of delivery, we forget about something important

Working on yourself.

Making time to exercise, learn, think, connect or simply catch your breath.

It is so easy it is to push those things aside. There’s always another job, another call, another person who needs something, another lead, something else to forget.

Putting yourself first once in a while means you can serve others better, and get a better result anyway.

The greatest investment you can make is in You Inc.

Doing work you’re proud of, with people you care about, on things that matter, takes energy - so keep some for yourself.

How do you get your point accross?

Winston Churchill said if you have an important point to make, use a pile driver"

Maybe a great way to win a world war, but not so effective in fostering a great team.

Communication is often at the root cause of business friction.
What information needs to go where, when and how to deliver it.

It was great chatting to Lee Dixon at 7BU - Burnie's Best Mix 7AD - Devonport’s Best Mix about all things communication, how we think in pictures, and how do we know what done looks like.....

Communication is one of the most common reasons for business pressure.

🌎We all have different versions of the world, that includes how we receive information.

How do we bridge the gap between what we are saying, and what the receiver is actually thinking?

And what platforms do we use?

💯The Prime minister commentating on banning card fees, attempting to create the illusion it will make your coffee and groceries cheaper, - in an alleyway strewn with graffiti - cements something in my mind....

No amount of frustration, drama, doom scrolling or key board warrior antics is going to get us through this next period of time.

Cashflow forecasts, margin analysis, value creation, doing more with less, and that number 8 wire DNA that put Kiwis and Aussies on the map is what will get us through.

Concentrate on what you can control, beware of the drama and never waste a good crisis.

How to grow your business:

You get a new customer - now what?
You offer them value and invite them back.....

💰You have spent the money on marketing and aquisition - now the most cost effective thing for your business is to keep that customer- or thier friends.

I recently purchased a part for my old car - I had never shopped at Automotive Superstore before.

And in the box is - just a thanks and $10 off the next purchase

And a voucher for Naked Wines Australia
With codes so they can track the effectiveness of the campaign.
Its simple and smart.

❓️What is something simple you can do to invite people back to your business?

❓️Who could you partner with to grow your business together?

🎉You dont have to be a superstore or national business to do the same.

What does w**e have to do with cars? Nothing.

Think outside the box - how could you do this for yourself?.
