    Achieving Your Dreams | The FRONT

    If you do this ONE THING you are on your way to achieving your dreams! What are your dreams? What do you want to accomplish today, tomorrow, or for your future? https://youtu.be/y9fJYMb-Mt8 So often, people have great ideas, they have passion; they have fire and they have things they want to do. And just as often, we fall short. Why? No action, you have to execute on what you want. The primary message for this video - TAKE ACTION. The key is consistent action. And BEFORE you start, you need to get clarity. Be specific with what you want in the outcome. Because if you aren’t specific, you WILL get a result, but it may not be the one you intended on. For me here’s what works. Three steps. I keep it really simple. Write down a plan. (This can take time) Review the plan and tell someone else about it. Not because you want their opinion, but so that as you start executing, they can ask and see if you are being held accountable to move towards your goal. START NOW. You must take action. People often get caught up in planning, reviewing the plan, planning, reviewing the plan… you get the idea. And a perfect plan never executed will never ever come to fruition. So the key to achieving your dreams is to take action, to start. Start where you are. Doing something towards your goal or dream every single day. In the beginning, it doesn’t matter if it’s 5 minutes, or 15 minutes - the time is not the determining factor, it’s that you moved closer to your goal, closer to your dream. What are you waiting for?

    Empowering People | The FRONT

    It's important for anyone in a leadership role to be empowering people. This is a basic principle to achieve high levels of success in an organization. Why? Because we can’t do everything ourselves. And if we don’t give responsibilities and power to others, then ultimately we will be forced to take on tasks ourselves. Including tasks that should be taken on by people that are better suited than us. https://youtu.be/912rcIg7osc Empower at its core is to give someone the power to do something; it’s also making others stronger and more confident in themselves. Because when people are stronger and more confident, especially in business - more gets done, we see better results and everyone profits more. From the employee, the manager, the leader, and the organization. So let’s talk about a few ways to provide empowerment. Training - improving peoples skill sets in many areas allows them to get stronger; training creates confidence. Communication - when you communicate well with people it helps them understand the depth of decision making they have. It gives clarity. Trust - trust is hard because sometimes people will make mistakes. If or rather when mistakes happen. Use them as learning opportunities. And keep in mind, the better-trained someone is and the better YOU communicate with them, the fewer mistakes and the stronger the level of trust. So those are a few ways I used to empower my employees, and the people I work with. What are the things you do? I would love to hear in the comments what methods are you using to empower people in your business? Download This Episode Now!
