How Could Giving Yourself A Break Turn Into The Best Thing You Ever Did?

Big companies do it, medium sized ones do too. But I bet you don’t.

Do I win?

The bet is this:

Do you give yourself and your business a break by having your own “away day”, your own “strategy” day?

A day, just for you, to do nothing but think ON your business not in it.

Thought not.

Nearly every business owner I know rarely does it, but when they do they reap handsome rewards.

Some of these rewards include:
- gaining a deeper and better understanding of their own business
- their market drivers
- new ways to increase sales
- create and retain better life time customer value
- new ways how to outwit their competition.

“Don’t have time for that kind of thing”.

Don't be so blinkered.

Look at it this way - for the cost of a either a luxury hotel room £200-400, room service, great, relaxing, thought inducing locations or a simple, but equally effective, “Travel Lodge” room for @ £46, book time off with yourself and review your business, consult with yourself, take the blinkers off and “go for it”.

Think of every little thing that cheeses you off about your business, your results, your profits. Think of every little thing that makes you money, makes you smile, makes you happy to be alive about your business - and how to get more of it.

This tiny investment in yourself, your time, reveals ideas that could make £000’s more for you, even £Millions.

But if you do not give it a go you will never find out.

Not sure you can gain enough from your own counsel?

Then hire a consultant, someone who has expertise in your field to go on the away day with you.

Why? Because a “good” consultant can make a positive impact on your business. They can ask the questions no one else does.

As an entrepreneur, you are embroiled, immersed, super glued, connected by an invisible umbilical cord, to your business.

And that means much too close and personal, too emotionally involved with every aspect of it.

Thats why you need to detach from it occasionally.

I know it’s tough running your own business, tough for you to identify problems
that can either be solved. To identify the ones that can be turned into great opportunities.

Just give yourself the time and space and you will find them.

There are lots present in your business and just giving yourself a few hours away from the business, in the right environment, will help you find them.

Your own “away day” or advice from a different perspective from a 3rd party will create opportunities - immediately.

From taking just one simple action, your sales and profits could explode.

You may discover new ways to cut costs and increases profit margins.

It's not magic.

Just fresh eyes. Fresh thought. Your thought.

Either your own or someone elses.

Go on do it now.

Book your own away day or call a consultant to support you in taking your business to the next level. Do it now before the opportunity passes and let me know how you get on.

Happy fortune finding,
