Entrepreneurs that are successful aren’t afraid to put themselves out there and promote their business EVERY...SINGLE...DAY.
Lack of confidence is something I think we all struggle with at one point or another in our lives, and about our business, and if we’re not careful, we can absolutely keep back our success as Entrepreneurs.
To put it simply, if you lack confidence in yourself, it will reflect as a lack of confidence in your business and your customers will pick up on this.
If you want people to believe in the services and/or products you’re offering, and ultimately hand over their hard earned cash, then you have to show up, give insane value, and be authentic, so they can get to know, like, and trust you.
You need to believe in yourself, know that you have what it takes to put yourself out there and go after your dreams. Get out of your own way and stop self-sabotaging your business!
Have a fabulous, productive week Entrepreneurs!

And yet, the truth is … that sales isn’t about any of these things!

There’s a chapter in my book, THE TIMELY ENTREPRENEUR, that talks about Customer Retention. This is important in business as there is a high cost attached to acquiring new customers, so if businesses put effort into retaining existing customers, they would not incur the high cost of building a new customer base.
Quit your day job you say???
I say heck no! Not yet anyway.
We know that the 1,440 minutes in a 24 hour day is never enough for any Entrepreneur. We all have so much to do! Therefore, you don’t have time for confusion and negativity. How much of your time today was wasted? It's important to recognize what takes up our time as time-wasters and make a conscious effort to make every minute count instead.
