9 KEYS TO PEAK PERFORMANCE

To start off the new financial year here are a few key ideas for you and your business:

1. MARKETING - Building Relationships
Customer/clients not only want a good product/service, they also want a trusting happy relationship.
How much time do you spend on relationship marketing?

2. TEAM - Hire slow & fire fast
Get the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus and have the right people doing the right things
How much time do you spend on recruiting the best and developing your team?

3. TIME - My most important task
Starting each day and concentrating single-mindedly on completing my most important task will give you positive endorphins to think like a winner - think about the rewards - the more you do it the more positive you become.
Would that make a difference?

4. FINANCIAL - Build assets & grow

Start by listing your assets and liabilities and then after developing a forecast for your business, decide what you would do with surplus profits - buy more assets and/or reduce liabilities - and then regularly monitor progress
Do you have a list of your assets and a budget?

5. IDEALS - Think what I want and how I am going to get it
Decide exactly what you want, write it down, set a deadline and make a list of what I need to do to achieve those goals. Highly satisfying.
When should I start a planned list?

6. HEALTH & FITNESS - Life only gets better when I get better on the inside
Have you considered?:
1. Fitness (i.e. walking, running, stretching , sport)
2. Nutrition (i.e. better diet, more water, less coffee)
3. Personal Development (i.e. more solitude & thinking, more holidays)

7. EXCELLENCE - Resolve to be exceptional

If you’re going to be in it why not commit to do your best to be in the top 10%. Learn more, earn more. Continuous improvement thinking.
What one skill, if I did it excellently, would help double my income?

8. SOLUTIONS - Think about solutions most of the time
Focusing on solutions and not the problem will make you feel better. Ask yourself how questions - e.g. how can I spend more time at golf? How can I spend more time with my family?
What important questions could I ask of myself?

9. ACTION
Develop a sense of urgency. Become proactive to make it happen. Once in motion stay in motion
When will I start my plan? ________________________________
