It is true what you've heard. One of the key things I've come to understand about business, any business. Literally, in any type of business, there are challenges. There are obstacles. Shit is going to hit the fan. This is why a lot of people don't want any part of the business world. They just want to go to their jobs, collect a pay check and live a normal life. There is nothing wrong with this. But since you are reading this blog, I don't think this is what you want out of your life. You want to do something meaningful. You want to make a difference, and you want to live the life of your dreams, not just the life everyone thinks you should live.

So, what are the key ingredients that are going to lead you to success in business? There's 2 key elements that will transform your business from being in a slouch to becoming highly successful. It all starts with the basis:

1. Have a very clear purpose or 'why'. Successful people are very clear about what they want. They know what their purpos...

How are you playing the business game? It doesn't matter right now whether you're doing everything completely wrong or not, you just need to be honest about where you're at. From whatever point you are at, you can move forward. You can create bigger successes, bigger wins and a bigger bank account.

I play the business game to win on my own terms and my own conditions. What I mean is, I decide who I play with. I decide how I play. I decide when I play, and I decide what the rules are. I am very clear when it comes to this: I only want to play with players that want to add value, contribute to the process and have fun. In fact, the way I evaluate a business opportunity is through three things. I'm going to give those three things to you right now.

Number one, does this relate in some way, shape or form to my personal mission?

Number two, will I have fun? Meaning, will I like the people I would be working with? Will I enjoy being around them? For example, I don't want to do a busines...

As our lives become increasingly busy and technology-driven, it’s easy to lose touch with nature and the benefits it can provide for our personal and professional growth. That’s why the Safari Leadership Experience is such a unique and valuable opportunity to reconnect with the wild and develop your leadership skills.

Growth is typically seen as the ultimate indicator of a healthy business. It’s natural for business owners to want their business to grow and become more successful over time. We all want our business to reach its maximum potential, and growth is often seen as the path to do that. But what if I told you that growth isn’t always the best choice for a business?

That’s right – growth can actually kill your business if it’s not done correctly. Too much growth, too quickly, can be overwhelming and be too much for a business to handle. If you’re not prepared to handle the growth it can lead to the downfall of your business.

It remains important for every business to focus on growth. That way it can stay ahead of the competition and retain a loyal customer base whilst attracting new ones. But growth does not just mean growing your customer base.
