Running your business can be a demanding, exhausting and gruelling affair.

Your business needs you to do many things every day (go with the flow) for your business to just exist…

BUT you want your business to do more than just exist - you want your business to grow, be successful, be better than your competition and be more profitable.

Going with the flow in your business can seem never ending, there is always a long list of jobs for you to do; take a customer call, deal with team member issues, chase debtors, not to mention the endless meetings, phone calls and emails… the list goes on and on…

Doing the day to day jobs keeps your business going but at the end of each week do you sit back and wonder what you have achieved? Do you sit back and wonder why your business is not moving forwards the way you want it to, the way you have always dreamed it would?

Take a moment to ask yourself, “is what I’m doing right now moving me toward the goal I have for my business, or am I just busy doing work?”

ONE thing stands between you and your goals. This ONE thing is about getting extraordinary results in every situation.

BLOG 2 – The ONE thing that you do today will take your business in the right direction

Whether your business is large or small there are constant jobs that need doing by you every day…

But if all you ever do is the day-to-day work every day, all you’ll ever get is more of the same day-to-day work tomorrow.

Why not get better?…

Just like steering a dinghy in fast moving water, you can only steer the boat if the boat is going faster than the torrent – you can only steer your business if you are also working on improving your business…

Here is the key:  Do ONE thing EVERY DAY that takes you towards your goal, your dream and ultimately towards a business you would be proud to own and run.

Gary Keller in his brilliant book ‘The One Thing’ provides a focus question that you should ask yourself, to help you work out the goal for your business:

“What’s the one thing I can do today such that by doing it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary?”

The question states today, but remember you are in control of the time frame, for you it may be this week, this month or even this year… but at least you will be making a start…the time frame must suit the needs and priorities of your business…

The other phrase that is key to you getting your goal right is can do - not ‘should do’, or ‘could do’, or ‘would do’. The word ‘can’ implies action, as opposed to the others which imply intention.

What is the ONE thing that you can do?

BLOG 3 – What happens to your business when you have a clear and compelling goal?

Do you want to move your business forwards and distance yourself from the day-to-day grind?

To achieve the kind of business you want to run and be proud of, you need a goal, you need focus and direction…

Not just any goal, a clear and compelling goal that is going to change the fortunes of your business…

…a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG)– this is your ultimate goal – the end result, a goal that you feel very passionate about.

Your Big Hairy Audacious Goal should be a clear and compelling statement of strategic intent – the specific goal you have for your business in the time frame you have set out.

However, for you to achieve your BHAG you must be driven and focused on all the daily actions in between that every day drive you towards it.

Think of your BHAG as the big ultimate domino at the end of a domino run. What does it look like? Know this and you’ll be driven and know which daily actions (smaller dominos) to knock down to achieve it.

As John Bytheway, bestselling author and speaker says “Inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Yard by yard, life’s hard”

BLOG 4 – Make PRODUCTIVE TIME to focus on achieving your business’s Big Hairy Audacious Goal

Running a business is hard, you have days when you have no time to yourself and if you do find some time, you are fatigued by the sheer effort of running your business…

But… if you want to achieve your Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) and start a domino run to success then both the time and fatigue issues must be addressed.

Getting your daily work done is necessary and it cannot be ignored, but now that you have your BHAG, one that you feel passionate about, you should not ignore the work that must be done to achieve this.

So how do you make a start?

Here are 4 simple questions to ask yourself so that you can start knocking dominos over...

• Have I committed daily or weekly diary time to knocking over dominos that take me towards my BHAG?
• And how much time (30 minutes or 60 minutes of consistently planned time)
• What time of day am I most productive?
• Brain fatigue is the enemy of productivity – so make sure you choose a time of day when you are most focussed – for most people this is first thing in the morning
• Where shall I have this planned time to work on my BHAG?
• Distraction is the other enemy of productivity – so this needs to be somewhere you cannot be disturbed – maybe you work at home for the first hour or in a coffee shop?
• What reminder or prompt do I have in place to make me aware of this time in my diary?
• This should be a trigger that cannot be ignored or forgotten. It’s no use getting to work only to discover that you should have gone to a café or stayed at home.

Why not allow yourself 30 minutes of consistent distraction-free time, every morning or an hour per week to start knocking over dominos towards your BHAG. Click here to learn more

BLOG 5 – How can Ed Sheeran’s BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) help your business succeed?

Whether you like Ed Sheeran’s music or not, you will have heard of him. He is, without doubt, currently the biggest selling male artist and recently headlined Glastonbury!

But, this success has not happened overnight, he is not a product of a music mogul or a television programme, he is a product of his own consistent, daily hard work and single-minded determination.

Since the age of 13 Ed Sheeran had a plan…

Since the age of 13 Ed Sheeran has known what is Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) is and has done his ‘one thing’ every day to achieve it.

Apply the same consistent daily determination in your business to achieve your BHAG.

Ed Sheeran’s BHAG is ‘I want to be the biggest male artist in the world’

What is yours?

During 2009, sleeping rough, Ed Sheeran played more than 300 gigs at small venues and open mic nights…

He did this consistently and every day he moved towards his BHAG – the one he has had since he was a teenager, the one he feels the most passionate about – the one he feels he CAN do!

What is your BHAG – the one you feel passionate about – the one you CAN do?

And what are you doing to achieve it?

Ed honed his talent every day and any day he did not perform, sing or write a song in his mind was a wasted day… a day when a domino should have been knocked over and wasn’t.

This drive, energy and focus that Ed Sheeran had to achieve his ultimate goal – his BHAG -  the drive energy and focus that he had to consistently do his ‘one thing’ every day, is the reason for his success…

The reason that he sold out 3 nights at Wembley in 2015…

The reason that his latest album Divide is the fastest selling album of all time…

AND the reason that in March 2017 all 16 of the songs from this album were in the Top 20, and in fact made up 9 of the top 10!

Apply the same drive, focus and determination to the achievement of your BHAG as Ed Sheeran did and watch your business score number 1 hits and beat all the competition.

BLOG 6 – Start building consistent momentum towards success in your business…

Real life business success shows the power of small daily steps. The power of consistent daily action to create momentum towards your ultimate goal. 

In his book ‘Good to great’ Jim Collins research study showed how 11 great businesses exceeded market growth by more than 3 times the norm (one attained 18 x market growth).

All 11 businesses made lots of little steps, little regular steps that resulted, eventually in rapid and sustainable growth.

Collins called this the ‘flywheel’ effect – regular actions build momentum and eventually the wheel starts flying.

What little steps can you take in your business to create the flywheel effect?

Getting the wheel started takes a lot of effort – you push, and you push, and you push and sometimes many days pass without progress or change. Then, it becomes a little easier to turn it. And finally, it starts to generate momentum all on its own, and suddenly, what once took so much effort becomes effortless, and self-sustaining.

Big things happen when you do a bunch of little things supremely well that then compound over time.

By planning and having distraction free time to do your ‘one thing’ every day towards your ultimate goal you too can create the consistent and intelligent momentum needed to create a ‘flywheel’ effect of success in your business.

BLOG 7 – Why risk the profits of your business – be single minded about your ‘one thing’

It’s so easy to let the many varied day-to-day jobs of running your business dominate your working life.

Only when you take daily action on the jobs that will improve the future success of your business will you gain the success you seek.

Here are 4 helping hands to get you started:

“What’s the one thing I can do today such that by doing it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary”

This will then become your focus for today, the week, the month, the year. This is the thing that by doing it will create a domino effect of success in your business.

Block off distraction-free time in your diary each day or week.

So that you can make progress towards your BHAG and do your most important ‘one thing’
