mo·ti·va·tion [moh-tuh-vey-shuhn]: a reason to act in a certain way.
2012 is almost a quarter of the way complete. Oh man! Have you put off your goals in order to get instant satisfaction? This post is designed to help you realize your potential and get motivated!
Personally, success is my biggest motivation. I will NOT work for the rest of my life. The fact that I know how to manage residual income is a driving force in finding new/ existing business ventures such as Green Life. Life is meant to be lived, not worked. As I always state, we need workers. I would go no where without having capable people to work in my businesses. And to them, I thank you!
Let's build your motivation now!
Pick a goal you have wanted to accomplish. It may help to start with a smaller goal and build on the momentum.
1. Breathe......and breathe again. Anxiety is a key cause for loss of motivation.
2. Keep your eyes on the finish. Focus is key in maintaining motivation.
3. Start researching now! The internet is a huge tool. Start reading articles, networking on social media sites, and building a more in depth knowledge of the subject matter.
4. Break down your goal into steps making each one a reason to celebrate as you are taking action to better yourself!
If you start hitting a plateau, it's ok. Take another break, look at what you have already accomplished! You can complete your goals, you are capable of doing this. Remain positive. Check out this WEBSITE for more ways to stay positive and motivated.
It's time that you start taking action to better your life. There is no time like the present to make changes. It is going to be hard, do not doubt that. You may have to make changes that you are not excited about, but if it is for the better, how can you say no?
"You can't let other people tell you who you are. You have to decide that for yourself."

Get your life back.
As I was thinking today about goals and objectives that I have set for myself, I realize that having a stable 9-5 is not even on my top 20 list. I understand that business ownership is not meant for everyone, but I could not handle giving the next 50 years of my time to a company (unless it is one amazing company), but I doubt I will find one that measures up.
How to be a business owner and live without having work 24/7.
Utilize technology. Technology is going to be your best friend, and it will make life a thousand time easier. Whether you are recording sales or analyzing your customer demographics, technology will make it much less time consuming. Check out accounting software, analytics programs, and social media managers to help save you time.
Become system oriented. Why would you waste time completing tasks that are not going to make a difference in your bottom line. Systems make business more efficient while highlighting areas that are unnecessary. Take a poll of your employees and see what they have to say. They are the ones doing all the work.
Outsource. No, this does not mean sending American jobs overseas. Lets get that clear. If you can pay someone to complete 3 hours of errands while you finished your contract to work with another company, why not? Time is an invaluable resource, never forget the cost of time.
Set rules. People need to know exactly what is going to be expected of them. If they are not given clear directions, this will soon cause miscommunication and failure. You should train people to be independent and responsible for all of their actions. This will give them a vested interest in making the company succeed as well.
If you want to learn about making money without having to sacrifice your life, get ahold of me. You can email me or leave a comment on our Facebook page. Time is expensive, quit wasting it.

Empowering small business to keep making a difference.
Yes, it's Sunday and I am blogging.
My business partner and I put in an offer on a cart for Street Meat. We should hear back this week if they are willing to accept or not. Hopefully we can pass through health department inspections and city licensing fairly quick in order to start akin money! It's crazy how many hoops one has to jump through in order to get business going. It's especially hard with mobile food business. In order to even operate we need a full commercial grade kitchen to clean the cart every 24 hours. Think you want to open a mobile food cart, you better own a restaurant or have some good connections. The wonderful city treasurer has been backing our business and helping us get through this process, and man oh man is her help appreciated!
The social media tool kit is going to be available in the next few weeks! This eBook is a great guide for business owners looking to get in the game. This book is packed full of examples, suggestions, tips, and will be available for purchase on the Green Life Marketing website. It is being reviewed by business owners as we speak, and I am excited to be able to present this to managers/ owners. In keeping with sustainable business methods, all eBooks will be emailed to purchasers unless noted otherwise.
Get Busy Media has published an article with some statistics on small business and their role in the economy. Did you know that 60-80% of jobs can be attributed to small business? Unfortunately, 50% of these businesses fail within two years. The surprising fact that the United States is listed as the 4th easier country to do business in. I thought we had to do some crazy things to get and keep business going, I can only imagine operating in other countries. Click HERE to check out the rest of the article. It contains some great information on small business in America.

Business is all about being social.
There are only two sections of the social media toolkit left to complete before adding final details! I have a few people currently proof reading it. I am looking fora few more business owners who would be willing to look it over to make sure that this is truly something that will give value to business owners. This kit includes graphs and statistics on what type of strategies work for certain businesses. If you are new to social media, this will be a great tool! I will keep you posted on the release date.
The guys at Magnified Mouth Media are coming along by leap and bounds with their new product. This business tool that they are offering will substantially increase the web presence of any company! The best thing about it, return customers! Not to mention the insanely cheap price they are offering it at! It is harder and much more expensive to build a new customer base rather than bringing your current customers back.
I am going to get much more inventive with the advertising I do for Green Life Marketing. I have been googling ads for about a week now getting some thoughts on what I can do. If you think of any creative or out of the box ideas and don't mind sharing, send me an email! click HERE to send an email.
Today is the day that you should take back your business!

On a side note.
This week has been full of fun events business wise. I have had a great business opportunity swing my way. One that I am very excited about, and I think that this company really has their skin in the game. While I don't want to disclose details to their product yet, you will be sure to hear more about it in the future. If you want to keep up with the closer details 'Like' Magnified Mouth Media on Facebook.
As far as Green Life is going, I am in the process of developing a toolkit for business owners if you will. It is the essentials to social media. This packet will teach you the top 5 things that will make your social media strategy explode! This packet is designed for new and existing businesses. It is an introduction to social media marketing. It will hopefully be completed by the end of February as it will take some time to compile them neatly.
I did over hear a conversation today where the business owner said, "When the economy crashed, I cut my advertising. It was a big part of my expenses and I just couldn't do it." I may be in the wrong here, but you do need to advertise to grow your business. You may need to change your strategy and how you advertise, but you should never cut it out. These are the people I want to help. Dedicated, honest, and hard working business owners need a break, and that's what I am here for.
The best advice I have received in a long time...Thanks brother.
