This special online event is brought to you by Biba Pedron from Your Business in Style – Today I introduce you to De Harris from DeHarrisOnline.com
Please forgive me. I know the title to this post sounds a lot like the theme for a long night at a dance club or maybe the promise of some delights not covered within this blog; however, the title is only meant to get your attention and since your here it looks like it worked! The point in all this is to establish a case for being unpredictable within your life. This could be unsettling to some. Maybe even a bit scary but when done right being unpredictable is something that you can use to your advantage not only in your personal life but also in your business.
So what does the term ‘Sexy Saturday’ have to do with being unpredictable? Well… Saturday’s are great for planning unpredictable behavior because (yes, you do have to plan) they are usually quiet and you don’t have a multitude of demands pulling you from all sides. You’re also a bit more relaxed when the weekend arrives and this quiet time is the perfect starting point for reflection and focused action. Take some time early in the morning to rethink your own business strategy and decide on some clever & unique ways to rev up your game a notch. Begin by asking yourself what can you do for your clients, employees, co-workers or counterparts to really stand out and bring some attention to your business. Real attention that will bring cash right into your pocket. What can you do to excite those around you so they know they can’t live without what you have to offer? What else can you do to make those who support or work with you engage more within your vision? What can YOU do to be unpredictable?
This weekly appointment for strategic planning doesn’t have to take long either. You’re looking at about 15 or 20 minutes max for starters. Jot down, as quick as you can, five or more fresh and creative ideas that will kick up the tempo. Don’t think about them… simply write. Let your thoughts flow through your arm onto the paper. Nothing is too outrageous. Nothing is too silly or far fetched. What you will often find are seeds that sprout another idea worth implementing. Do this every week that you plan to be successful. Do this every week you consider yourself a serious business professional.
The secret here is consistency which over time will turn into measurable results. If you have ‘consistent scheduled reflection’ accompanied by written words followed up with action then you will see those ideas manifest into a growing thriving business everyone wants to be involved in. More often then not business owners simply react when things are bad or something comes to our attention. Why not be proactive, systematic and unpredictable. By carving out a specific time each week to develop your strategy you will easily place yourself in a position where you can only win.
Remember this -> Focused Concentration + Action = Measurable Results.
So allow ‘Sexy Saturday’ (which sounds way better than consistent scheduled reflection) or another catchy phrase to become sort of a reference for your plan of action toward greatness. When you use your ability to be unpredictable with your special someone… sparks fly. Use it in your business and you’ll see the sparks fly too. Give it a try and let me know your results. I’m looking forward to some great ideas.
