Episode 178 - Building Good Business Habits
Manage episode 334715497 series 3207226
Can you guess how success in your customization business is like success in a fitness, financial, or weight loss program?
- If your goal is to lose 20lbs by September 30th, you can't start working on that on the 25th and expect to be successful
- If your financial goal is to save up $20K for a down payment on house, or pay cash for a car, you're probably not going to pull that money out of that week's budget to make the purchase.
Because with your health and your finances you've got to do small things right on a regular basis - or BIG things on a regular basis - in order to succeed. You're not very likely to win the lottery OR wake up with 6-pack abs after buying a scratch off and doing sit-ups one morning.
BUT, if you save and invest over time, every day, do some ab work every day, you're very likely to end up in the place you want to be.
Let's apply that to your Business Life and talk about the habits that will help you reach your goals:
