A lot of entrepreneurs make decisions based on illusions. A common challenge entrepreneurs make is they think they know the answer about something before the event even takes place without acting on it first.
Their are a few key things to achieve exponential growth. Your mindset is important to the success of any business owner. One of the key ways to grow exponentially is by choosing who you’re going to serve, because it gives you the opportunity to serve who you were not meant to serve.
Alex owns the Christian Business Academy and purposefully narrowed his focus because he knew that he was meant to serve those people. In return, it has become easier for him to attract the clients that he wants because they are attracted to his purpose and mission.
One of the things that Alex is really good at is creating profitable partnerships and he works with a lot of coaches and consultants and he helps them leverage what they’re doing. Alex created an online training program with another business coach in order to help people create experts in the industry.
When Alex was running his mortgage company, he was working from 7am to 11pm. One day he was sitting with his son and he realized that his business was taking him away from his family and he vowed not to let that happen. We’re passing up opportunities to say that some day we’ll have time to spend with our family. Balancing your work and personal life is critical to the happiness of an individual.
Alex has seen so many successful people, but their personal lives are in shambles.
Most business owners are overwhelmed and overworked. Most business owners are doing way too much work. Once you get focused and narrow down your goals then it becomes easier to achieve your goals and you’re doing less work. No matter what Alex does at work he thinks about the people he’s serving and how he can help them.
