If you're planning to run your business for 10 years or more, then resilience is something you'll want to grow and nurture. The American Psychological Association defines resilience as "the process of adapting well in the face of adversity."

Why is being a resilient, particularly valuable quality for those running a business?

Because according to US Bank data:

• Roughly 20% of small businesses fail within the first year.
• Roughly 33% of small businesses fail within two years.
• Roughly 50%of small businesses fail within five years.
• Roughly 66% of small businesses fail within 10 years.

And the leading causes for these failures are:

1. Cash flow problems account for 82% of failures. Such issues can have different root causes or their combination: lack of a business plan, pricing issues, lack of or poor budgeting, or insufficient financing.
2. Poor understanding of the market, therefore not having the right marketing strategy. Or being too rigid and not changing fast enough with the market needs.
3. Fast growth and with it the entrepreneur not being able to hire and lead proper teams or put systems and structures in place, allowing for controlled growth.
4. Not being prepared properly to be a business owner and, therefore, not being ready to take on all the responsibilities that come with running a business.

I want to point your attention to the 4th reason why the businesses fail.

Why? Because it all starts with you, the entrepreneur, the leader. If you don't continually prepare and grow yourself to run your own business, the other three reasons will happen. If you do – you'll be able to deal with anything that comes your way.

So what can you do to prepare yourself to run a long-lasting and successful business?

Here are a few steps you can start taking now and never stop.

Learn some foundational skills you need to run the business.

Most of those skills fall into the following areas: marketing and sales, time management, strategy, leadership, money management, and technology.

These foundations will serve you no matter what happens in the market. And as you continue expanding them and developing more expert knowledge, you'll be able to stay ahead of the market, predict the needs to change, build highly-performing teams and avert financial catastrophes before they happen.

If I was to give you only one piece of advice, it's this one: never stop learning and investing in yourself. Your business will grow if you grow first.

"How can I learn those skills then Maggie," you ask? There are many different avenues: schools, online courses, mentors, and coaches. There're an in-person, online, group, self-paced, or one-on-one learning? The one thing is sure, you cannot blame the lack of sources and opportunities to learn what you need ad set yourself up for success.

Work on your mindset

Learning how to have your mind work for you, not against you, is one of the millionaires' secrets. Even when doubt, fear, or self-sabotaging thoughts happen, the most successful know how to get out of the rut and shift their mind to self-belief, confidence, and enthusiasm.

It's easy to get discouraged when the one thing you're working on fails 5127 times. You're thinking: "Are this many fails even possible?" – yes! This was the number of failed prototypes before the Dyson vacuum was ready to hit the marketplace.

And I get it; it's easy to stop believing you have something precious when you get rejected repeatedly (12 times or even more, for example, Stephen King or J.K. Rowling). But yet, some people keep going, and these are the ones that win.

One of the best mindsets you can adopt as an entrepreneur is treating roadblocks as learning opportunities and puzzle pieces to solve. Just like Ray Dalio describes in his book Principles:

By solving the puzzle, I get a gem in the form of a principle that helps me avoid the same sort of problem in the future.

Ray Dalio

Collecting lessons and applying them without beating yourself up will get you closer to success.

Innovate constantly

As you read before, resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity. Part of it sits in innovation. Entrepreneurs who have this skill, always look for better ways to serve their clients and run their businesses.

This is where the skills you acquire from self-development help you gain the knowledge of the market, and then the rubber hits the road with you applying all this to stand out of the crowd. That's how you're showing your Ideal Client, you're the only one who can meet their needs best.

Build a support system.

No one can succeed without a proper support system. And by that, I mean two things: people who'll help you and systems and habits that will help you be innovative, consistent, healthy, and enthusiastic throughout your journey.

Who are the people? These will be mentors, coaches, fellow entrepreneurs, friends & family whom you can turn to for help in different things: self-development, sounding board, moral support, or collaboration. Additionally, as your business grows, you'll add employees, suppliers, and subcontractors.

The second part is system and habits, processes, and tools in your day to day that will support you as a business leader growing your business creatively through innovation without being overwhelmed or burned out.

Don't underestimate this part. Enthusiasm and motivation can get you started, but without the habits and routines, you won't be able to keep going consistently. They're vital in building your resilience.

If you're thinking: "Great, Maggie, but what systems and habits do I need now and how they'll help me?" let's talk. My Dream-Plan-Do coaching formula in all my programs empowers you not only with new skills but also with such routines that carry your results to the next level.

Social media is the place to be to market your business. Of course, if you're an online entrepreneur, that's a no-brainer and a must. But even if you relied on "local word of mouth," COVID changed that. The pandemic has shown us that if you don't have a way to sell and market your offering online, you can go out of business fast.

There're tonnes of strategies, how to's, and frameworks that work. And as an entrepreneur, I'm sure you create your own that aligns with who you are and what you stand for as a person and business.

Nevertheless, there are some core principles that you should follow to ensure your long-term success in the online world. Here are seven of them.

Principle 1: Listening

Listening online is more of reading the conversations that are happening. Which conversations? The ones of your ideal client. When you listen to what their goals and challenges are, you can create solutions that will sell. Moreover, you also learn how they talk about all this, how they tell their stories, describe their pain points and dreams. Listening allows you to understand your ideal client and learn to speak their language.

Principle 2: Strategy

By strategy, I mean being focused on your niche. If you try to appeal to everyone, no one will relate. The more you define your ideal client, the more successful you'll be. By strategy, I also mean being intentional about how you, as a business owner, stand out from the sea of others who want to help your ideal client.

Principle 3. Audience quality

You've probably heard that before, so I'll be the reminder 😊. As you build your audience on any social media platform, it's better to have 1,000 followers who stay and care about your content than 10,000 fake ones that follow you for a day and leave the next.

When your audience loves your content, they will engage. When they engage, they will get to know you better. With that, they will start to like you and trust you. And that's the straight path to successful selling.

Principle 4. Value

Yes, social media is a platform to build your personal brand. And yes, you should show your audience who you are as a person. But the only way people will keep coming back to your posts is if they see value in them. Quality images and copy create quality content!

Now, value means different things to different people. But since you listen and know your niche well, you'll also know how you can deliver value to them 😊.

Principle 5. Engagement

If you want to see engagement on your posts, you need to give that as well. Because social media conversations are precisely that – conversations with many participants in it. You can't post and never engage in other posts and then expect people to comment on your feed. Participate in other people's conversations, reply to comments left of your feed, contribute value. In short, engage.

Principle 6. Consistency

Building a social media following requires consistency and patience. Consistency shows that you're serious about what you offer. It shows that you care about your audience, and you're there for them, shine or rain. It shows respect and professionalism.

And patience is required because to build quality following takes time. This is a long-term game. None goes from 0 to 10,000 followers organically in a month. The fantastic thing about the long-term game is that it will compound.

Getting to 1,000 followers might take time, and a lot of effort, but getting another thousand will be much faster thanks to the compound effect (just like interest on your savings account).

Principle 7. Collaborations

Collaborations help you expand your circle of influence. When you collaborate with other entrepreneurs who share your passion and values to serve, and their offering is complementary to yours, it's a win-win-win.

You benefit from getting exposure to their audience, and they benefit from yours. Their audience becomes your audience for a moment and vice versa. And the best thing is, your ideal clients win too as thanks to you more of their problems get solved.

I am :) for you and for me. And if you want to chat about "how to's" on any of these, connect with me for a free strategy session here.

Have you ever gotten a piece of advice that was an AHA moment for you? Advice that you decided to follow and has been serving you in business and life ever since?

I'm sure you have. I've been blessed to have many people in my life share their wisdom with me, and through it helping me grow. So as a way to give back, I decided to share some of this advice with you in this blog. I hope it brings you as many fantastic outcomes as it has been for me. And that in turn, you'll connect with me to share your golden nuggets of advice :).

Never assume

This is the best advice ever that I got from one of my first Canadian mentors. It's great for any situation and works wonders in interpersonal communication and dealing with issues that involve other people. This advice helped me personally resolve many hairy misunderstandings, untangle snowballing miscommunications, and have better relationships with people in my personal and professional life.

This advice has the art of listening at its core.

When people communicate, they often assume that others know certain things and understand the reasoning behind what's being said. However, quite often, this is not that case, and such assumptions and lack of attentive listening lead to misunderstandings.

"Never assume" allows you to listen first to understand when you communicate with people.

Understand what are they know or don't know; understand their point of view. It helps you ask better questions before expressing your opinion and coming to conclusions on the situation.

It's not an easy nugget to follow, but I saved myself lots of trouble whenever I did.

How this advice can help you in business? Here's an example from sales.
When you're having a conversation with your ideal client, never assume that they know something and remember everything you told them. Don't be scared to ask clarifying questions or repeat anything important a few times.

Patience pays off

This advice doesn't mean just sitting around patiently doing nothing and hoping that our dreams come true. What it means is that as long as you take action and consistently do the strategic things you need to do to grow your business, you'll start reaping the benefits of that work sooner or later.

It also applies to relationships and other areas in life (ex. your health).

Strategic, focused actions, consistency, and patience are key to success. I have experienced it many times when following it in different areas of my life. Compared to 2019, in my business, most recently, I have seen exponential growth despite COVID 19.

Do the right thing

This is a hard one to follow, especially in relationships or parenting, when our emotions are involved. I know because I've been there.

Being a person that does the right thing and takes a higher road isn't always popular. It even can make you not so popular having to face other people's negative emotions towards your decisions and actions.

And very often, this is your duty as a leader of your business or family.

If you've ever said 'NO' to your child for something they really wanted but wasn't right for them, then you know what I mean. However, doing the right thing, taking a higher road always wins and pays off (advice # 2😊).

It also saves you energy for bigger and better things. When you get to hang up on little stuff, chasing things, or trying to prove others wrong, you lose time and energy on trivial matters.

People need what you offer.

When I first started my business, I was scared of selling like most of the new entrepreneurs. I didn't want to be pushy or 'salesy.' My whole philosophy and mindset around sales were plain wrong.

Then I read this advice: "there are at least 5 people out there who need what you offer." They need your help to grow their business, get rid of overwhelm, and lead a balanced life.

And you know what ... ? I knew this was true because I was talking to them regularly. I saw their struggles online, yet I was scared to convey how much value working with me can bring them.

And this one piece of advice helped and switch my mindset around sales. It helped me understand that if I'm not the one who will support my ideal client, someone else will. Someone who might not even be as good as me. This was the first steppingstone in reframing my whole mindset around selling.

If you don't grow, nothing in your life will grow either.

If you were to take out only one golden nugget today out of this entire blog, I hope this is the one. Everything starts with us. If we become better and grow as a person, everything around us will grow as well. Be our relationships, health, self-confidence, and business.

Whenever you want to take things in your business to the next level, you need to get there first.

Conscious self-development and growth have been an essential part of most of my life. It helped me get to where I am now, and it'll help me achieve the next stage. I made it a point in my business to invest 10% of my income into my strategic self-development. It's a non-negotiable item baked into my budget.

How about you? Do you treat self-development as a non-negotiable part of your business growth? Or rather a nice to have once you "get more clients" or "reach X$ income"?

If you're a bit like me, think about how where your business could go if you made self-growth and development a part of your daily, weekly, and monthly routine? Where could you take your marketing, sales, or productivity, or mindset?

And if you decide that you're ready to take any of these to the next level, then I'm here to help you. How? Schedule a free discovery call with me here, and let's have an exciting conversation about it 😊

Do you know why your Ideal Client would choose you over the others out there offering solutions to the same problems you solve? Do you know the unique benefits they get when buying your offering?

If your answer is "No" or "I'm not sure," then it's time to get on it and become clear on your Unique Selling Proposition (USP).

What's Unique Selling Proposition & why you need it?

USP is the thing that makes your business different from competitors. That allows you to stand out from the crowd so that the Ideal Client can notice you and say 'YES' this brand is perfect for my needs. Because it isn't just enough to be visible, you must stand out to be noticed.

And if you don't know how you stand out, how would you expect your client to understand why they should buy from you?

Unique Selling Proposition is not synonymous with your brand.

It's part of it but a very distinct part. Your brand is your story, your promise of what you deliver, and what you stand for. USP are concrete benefits that your Ideal Client gets when buying from you that are different from your competition.

For example, Walmart's USP and competitive advantage is being one of the cheapest retailers on the market. If you go there, you know you're getting a bargain. This USP has been baked not only into their marketing but the whole operation to ensure they deliver it.

On the other hand, Tiffany & Co. chose a style that brings experience and love as their USP. See how it's not luxury itself, even though you definitely feel the luxury when you buy a piece of high-quality jewelry from them.
Just read this: "Since 1837, the masterpieces of Tiffany & Co. have defined style and celebrated the world's great love stories."
If you close your eyes now, can you imagine what type of clients such USP attracts?

So now your turn.

And to help you figure out how to come up with your Unique Selling Proposition, here are 5 necessary steps:

1. Brainstorm

Write down the features that your offering has and then the benefits those features provide to your clients. Because really, no one buys anything for its features. People buy for what the products or services will do for them.

Here is an example: you don't buy a laptop because it has a keyboard, screen and is light. You buy it because of the convenience it provides. You can work with it from anywhere, move it around it and store it easily.

2. Do market research

Go out there and do some social listening. What are your clients looking for, what are their specific needs that your offering fills? How do they describe them? Know what really motivates your Ideal Clients to buy.
Also, look at your competitors and see what their USP is. Because you want to come up with something different, something they have missed. Think about how your offering is better than theirs.

3. Be creative

Think about what is unique about you and your brand. And how can you pair it with the unique benefits of your offer? Definitely don't try to please everyone. You want to attract only your Ideal Clients. More on how to define your niche, here.

4. Be bold

Don't try to hide. Be bold. Stand out in your own unique fantastic way. That's where your brand comes in. Just don't forget to be personable. You don't want to come across as stand-offish but rather someone who people can relate to and look up to simultaneously.

If you look at Oprah, even when she talks about the successes she achieved in her life, it's not to show others how much wealth she accumulated. It's to inspire them and show them that if she could do it, anyone can.

5. Ensure your messaging is clear

Once you have an idea of your USP, start messaging it to your audience. Make sure that you're not using expert language. Communicate it clearly ideally in your Ideal Clients' language.

So are you ready to get to work and define your USP?

When you do it, be creative and make the process fun. I bet that you'll learn a lot about your offering and Ideal Client while doing that. And if you ever need more guidance on how to go about it, connect with me here for a free brainstorming call.

A significant portion of my business coaching revolves around helping entrepreneurs regain focus, eliminate distractions, and become more productive. By productive, I don't mean work more or harder. I mean, work smarter and gain better results within the time you're already spending on your business.

It turns out that my experience aligns with research showing that time management is one of the biggest challenges for entrepreneurs right after funding and finding new clients.

That's why, in this blog, I'm sharing 15 proven ways that will help you boost your performance.

How? Through the elimination of distractions and thus increased focus and productivity.

1. Turn off the TV

TV can be very distracting. You put it for background noise, but then you catch yourself looking at it every so often and watching for 10-20 mins at a time. Such chopped focus slows you down in completing anything you're working on and lowers the quality of the output.

If you really need some background noise, put on relaxation music that can boost your productivity instead.

2. Spend less time on your phone

Nowadays, phones are even a worse enemy of focus than TV. Remember the last time you picked up your phone just to check an e-mail or a message and ended up spending 40 mins scrolling through your Instagram or Facebook feed? How many times a day this happens?

I'm sure you'll be shocked when you do the math. So what's the antidote? No phone near you when you're concentrating on client work, project, or any other important task.

3. Clean your office/ desk

Disorder in our physical space is distracting and stressful. Decluttering your desk and tidying up your office will eliminate the need to clean and organize every time you try to sit down and focus on writing that blog.

4. Prioritize

Out of the never-ending to-do list, know which one of the items listed there are critical and which ones can wait or genuinely don't have to be done. The key is to work on 20% of things that deliver you 80% of results.

5. Time block

What's not scheduled doesn't get done. If you don't put your most important work into your schedule, others will fill it with their priorities. Don't spend your days according to other people's agenda. Be in control. Block time for things you want and need to do.

6. Plan your days ahead of time

This one ties well with the previous two. For you to prioritize and time block effectively, you need to do it ahead of time. Weekly planning is key to being proactive and preventing the daily fires. Working continually in the firefighter mode won't grow your business. It will maintain it at best. Being proactive and strategic is what moves the needle.

7. Take regular breaks

Our brain can focus and be productive for about 90 mins at a time. After that, it gets tired and starts wondering. Trying to force it to do more and better becomes counterproductive. So take regular breaks. Even if they are 5-10 mins at a time. You'll see that when you get back to your work, you'll finish it much faster.

8. Turn off notifications on your electronics.

This point is self-explanatory. When you have a "ding" or "dong" going off every 2 mins from every app you have installed on your laptop and phone, it's impossible to focus. This one is non-negotiable and has to go if you want to become highly effective. So, don't wait and turn off all these notifications now 😊.

9. Don't keep the phone in your work-study area when you want to focus.

Now better yet. Don't keep your phone near you when you're working on a project. Make it hard for you to access it. I'm sure you know why I'm suggesting this technique 😉.

10. Work on the most important things first thing in the morning.

Highly-effective people get their most important things done first every day. Because life happens to all of us. It's easier to deal with it when your vital proprieties are completed before the day disintegrates.

11. Keep your Vision and dream life in mind.

When things don't go the way, you want them to. When the results don't show as quickly as you wish, remembering your WHY will help you keep going. Putting your Vision at the forefront of everything you do will also help you prioritize.

12. Avoid multitasking

Multitasking is overrated. Studies prove that our brain cannot focus on two cognitive tasks at a time. Yes, we can walk and listen to music because walking is automatic. We don't need to think about it.

When we try to multitask on two cognitive actions: a meeting and a project, for example, our mind has to switch back and forth between them. The results: you don't know what's going on in a meeting, and the quality of project work is not that great either.

Be present in everything you do. And be intentional with what you choose to do.

Maggie Perotin

13. Chunk big projects into smaller logical parts

Trying to do too much at once can be overwhelming. And that's when procrastination creeps in. So when you think of a task to do and feel overwhelmed, it means you need to break it down to smaller parts. Once you feel excited about the work ahead of you, it's time to focus on it 😊.

14. Establish routines

We are creatures of habit. And the most productive people use that to their benefit. Structure your days in ways that serve you. Create routines that will make it easy for you to focus, start any task, and take breaks. Following your internal rhythm helps.

15. 2-minute rule

This rule says that if a critical thing takes you less than 2 mins to do, do it right away. Don't put it on your to-do-list as it will take you more time to write it down and then retrieve it and do it later.

Above I've given you many proven techniques that work. However, if you try to apply them all at once, you'll get overwhelmed and actually do nothing. Which is not why I wrote this blog.

So my advice is: pick one. Start with the one tip that feels the easiest to implement. Do it for a week and then add another one. Continue until you feel you created high-productivity habits that work well for you.

At the same time, I know for some entrepreneurs it's hard to DIY this even though they know what to do. So if you tried before and couldn't establish systems that work for you or you know, message me.

With my help, we'll create a system that works for you and your unique situation. You'll save lots of time, stress & money trying to figure it out. My clients get amazing results when working with me, and you can too. Schedule a free discovery session first here.

Most of us can be our own worst critics. And when those moments happen, the negative thoughts in our mind can shut down our confidence, lower self-esteem, and kill pretty much any dream and million $ idea we have. That's why learning how to turn these thoughts around and make your mind works for you, not against you, is one of the keys to entrepreneurial success.

So what are the ten most common thoughts killing your business dream? And how can you get overcome them? Read on and find out.

1. It will never work.

Usually, additional thoughts that aren't too helpful follow this one: "it's a slow market," "there are too many people doing the same thing already," etc. The underlying root of these thoughts is the lack of belief that you can succeed and make your dream a reality.

The thing is, we're responsible 100% for our actions and how we react to circumstances that happen to us. Those who embrace that mindset take control back into their life. They have hope and can act on it.

Reminding yourself of past successes or progress you made so far, despite the adversity you've encountered, is a great way to turn these thoughts into the belief that you can achieve anything you desire.

2. It's not the right time to do it.

Or other variations of it: "I'm too old," "I'm too young," "I'll do it when …".

I learned that the same as with having kids, there's never a "perfect" moment to start something important in our lives. If we procrastinate too much, the moments will pass sooner than we realize. The best time to act on your million $ business idea is when they come to your mind. Even if it's just writing them down in the notebook, otherwise, within 5 mins, our mind will either talk us out of it or forget it altogether.

And once you've written it down, take intentional time to sit down and plan it out more. Think of the steps you could take in the next little while to start implementing the idea. When you have a plan, start implementing it step by step.

3. What will others think of me if I do it

It's though to be vulnerable; to put yourself out there and expose yourself to a potential risk of criticism by others or lack of support from the ones you care most about.

But on the flip side, do you want others' opinions and perceptions shape how you live your life? What you do and what you don't? The vulnerability allows you to take charge of your life and do things that are important to you, making you happy. In your business, it will attract your ideal clients!

Affirmations help me and my clients believe in our capabilities and let go of worrying about what others think of us. Try ones that you believe in, and you won't believe the difference they make 😉.

4. I'm too busy as it is to do it

We all have 24/7/365, and yet some people seem never to have it enough, while some are achieving incredible things.

Not having enough time is quite a common excuse. My take on it is if you know what you want, you can create time for it. The secret to having time is making it for the things that are important to us.

As I write this blog, I have a full time demanding corporate leadership role; I run my coaching practice; I'm in the middle of completing an online executive MBA; I volunteer and am a mom in a blended family of 4 kids. How do I do it and still have time for self-care and not burn out? I created time for all those things. I established routines and learned high-performance habits that allow me to be highly effective with my time.

Now I teach those techniques as part of my business coaching to empower women to build wildly successful businesses without the overwhelm. If you're interested in knowing more, then reach out to me here.

5. I can't afford to do it now.

Like with time, how we spend our money tells a lot about what we truly value: material things or experiences, spend items or investments (ex. a new purse vs. a book).

Running a business requires investments that may or may not pay off in the future. It requires taking risks. No business is successful without it. However, as leaders, we can minimize the risk and find creative ways to figure things out.

How do you do that? Market research, prototyping, and Beta testing are great ways to reduce cost and risk when launching a new offering.

Collaborations and bartering are great ways to get outsourcing help without the exchange of money. And the list goes on. As Marie Forleo says: Everything is figureoutable and I 100% believe that as well.

6. I'm not good enough to be successful.

Followed by "Who would ever buy from me," "Who do I think I am, thinking that this could work."

The imposter syndrome is familiar to many, even the most successful people. I wrote a separate blog on how to deal with it.

Journaling and affirmations will help you with this thought as well. And there's another powerful thing I want to mention here. It's your associations. It's critical to surround yourself with people who will support you, believe in you, and help you succeed.

These people can be your fellow entrepreneurs, mentors, coaches, friends, and family people who already achieved what you want to in their businesses. They will lift you when you're feeling down, teach you things that will help you get stronger, faster, and smarter and show you that anything is possible for those who want to go after it.

7. I'm scared of failing.

Here there is always a lot of "what if's." But this is focusing your whole energy on the future, something that doesn't exist. Don't get me wrong; it's good to be realistic and prepare for certain risks, have a plan B. That gives you a peace of mind.

But once you have it, it's time to focus on the present and things you can control. Because your choices now that lead to action or inaction are the ones shaping your future.

8. I'm good where I am; I don't need to change anything.

If that's really the truth, then stay where you are, why change? But if deep down, you know that this is a dream killer thought, then it's time to act.

Journal. Write up your dream ideal life five years from now. How would it look like? Where would you be? What would you do?

Then write down what your life will look if you don't do anything. Read it out loud. Think about how does it make you feel?

Most people will not change if they are cozy and comfortable. So if you're there but have a nagging feeling you want more, then create discomfort that will motivate you to action. Picturing yourself in 5-10 years can be a great way to do that.

9. But it's so much work, where do I even start.

Building a dream business is a lot of work, especially in the beginning. But hey, you're creating your dream, isn't that exciting? It's the journey that makes us better human beings, that's fun and memorable.

But if in the beginning, you feel overwhelmed and can't take the first step, talk to someone. Through my free strategy sessions, I help many women gain clarity on what next steps they should take to get unstuck and keep moving forward.

10. What if I try this or this, wait this is even better.

Shiny object syndrome - if not a dream killer, it becomes a dream-delayer. Establishing momentum in your business takes time and those who aren't patient enough fall prey to believing that this technique or this strategy will deliver their dreams super fast and without too much work. They end up switching from one thing to another, losing all the momentum gained from the previous strategies.

Consistency, patience, and sticking with the established strategy long enough is what will help you fast-track your business success. It's establishing habits and routines that support your chosen plan.

Don't fall for the "make a million in 3 months" promises. If it ever happens to anyone, it's like winning a lottery – the likelihood for it is close to zero. Growing a 6-8 figure business takes time, resilience, strategy, and consistency. And yes, it's possible! Any person who truly got there and stayed will tell you that.

Mother Nature is in constant change and evolution. And we as humans are part of that change. Some of it happens to us, and we need to chose how we react to it. But also, in many instances, we have the power to create change for ourselves.

Looking back at my life, I can identify 5 pivotal moments, decisions that others took, or I took myself. These moments changed my life for the better and led me to where I am today.

Even though stories behind those decisions could fill in a few books, I decided to condense them to a blog and share it with you. Why?

Because I want to help you make the decision you've been trying to make for a while. That decision you know deep down is the best thing for you, but it seems too big or scary to go after. I hope my story will inspire you to change that.

From Communist to Free Poland

This was not my decision. But without it, the others wouldn't have happened.

I was born in Communist Poland, in a small town, where freedom of thought, speech, or travel didn't exist. What existed were many absurdities that are funny now, fear, and numbness at best.

Many historical books describe these times, so if you'd like to discover that era for eastern and central European countries, "Europe" by Normal Davis is fantastic.

In 1989, when I was 11, an unimaginable thing happened, even after the years of protests and the Polish people showing their disapproval of the regime. The leaders of the freedom movement and governing regime came to an agreement. Poland was becoming a free real democracy in a peaceful way. Although not easy for many people, these times opened the portal for many opportunities for the entire nation. I happened to be young enough to take full benefit of this historical moment.

Talking About a Goal in Mind

I was always a good student. Actually, one of the best in my primary school and high school. So not getting into the University program I wanted was a blow. I chose an elite program in one of the best Polish Universities. There were over 5 candidates for each spot, and young people were applying from all over the country. I passed the exams but not well enough to get a spot. At least not the first time around. I was disappointed, discouraged, and without plan B.

What did I do? I decided to double down on prep, wait a year, and try again. It's because I felt that this program at this University was the right one for me. Not everyone in my family immediately supported my decision, but I stood my ground. In the end, my parents supported me in investing in my learning and prep for the year.

The following year, not only did I get into THE program, but my plan B was also an option (Law School). As luring as the Law School was, I went to graduate from the original program.

Welcome to Canada

You know, I never planned to immigrate from Poland. However, life tends to open different doors in front of us, and it's up to us to decide if it's the opportunity we want to grab. This one came through a friend as a side conversation.

I was in the middle of an additional undergrad program trying to make ends meet working a low paying job and tutoring kids. During a break conversation between classes, my university friend told me about the Canadian Immigration program.

At that time, the labor market for young people in Poland was tough. 20% unemployment. I was lucky to have a job that paid the bills and left enough money for food. You know that the Communist Regime collapse I described in point 1? These were times when Poland was trying to get the economy back on track.

Long story short, I decided to look into the program as an option for a better life. Because I spoke English and French and my first husband at a time had family in Canada willing to help, we figured this could work and decided to apply. After 1.5 years of the application process, we were sitting on a plane to Toronto. We had 4 pieces of luggage and a bit of saving. Before that, I'd never set foot in North America or even flew a plane.

But moving to Canada was one of the best decisions I made in my life.

As hard as it was to leave the entire family and all friends behind, Canada turned out to be a fantastic country to live in. Not only because of economic opportunities but also values of respect, tolerance, and overall mindset of the people.

Nothing of Value Comes Easy

... And without moving here, I would have never met the love of my life, my soul mate, my current husband. And without him, our precious family wouldn't have been started either.

Getting there wasn't easy.

I decided to leave my first marriage (this is the first time I'm writing about it ever). It wasn't a bad marriage at all, my first husband is a great man. Which made it so much more difficult to leave. To be the "bad and selfish person," hurt others around me for an unknown future.

Why would you leave something "safe" and "comfortable", create pain around you when you had no idea what the other side would look like.

But that's the thing, isn't it? We never know how the other side looks like until we get there. We'll never find out if we don't go after it and give it a chance to materialize.

Mid-Life Crisis or Ultimate Wisdom?

Because of life pivots above, I had my kids past 30. My daughter was born when I was 33, and my son at 35. As I was getting closer to 40, the kids grew enough to move out of the baby diaper stage.

That's when a thought hit me: at 40, I really have more than 2/3 of my independent adult life still to live. Let's not kid ourselves up until 20, or so we are very dependant on others. And given that the life expectancy will soon be 80, I have another 40 years to live!

That very thought got me thinking about how I wanted to live going forward? What impact do I want to make on the world?

I was again living in my comfort zone, making 6 figures in a good corporate job, working with great people, and being very good at what I do.

So were these thoughts a women's mid-life crisis or ultimate wisdom coming down on me?

Whatever you call it, for me, it meant starting my business coaching practice. Why? Because my passion is to empower people and help them reach their full potential. And my skills are is business.

I decided to focus on and help women. Because, as women, we have A LOT going on. We also need to overcome many things for the world to see us and appreciate us for who we are. I believe that finally, the 21st century is our time; that's why I want to help women to rise up.

Here they are, 5 decisions, 5 pivotal moments in my life. We all have them.

The moments that push us out of our comfort zones. The doors that open opportunities in front of us to create our dream life. But also require us to make scary decisions. The decisions that might have an end goal in mind, but we don't always know how to get there or what the end result will really look like.

Do you have a door of opportunity opening in front of you now? Are you scared to make the decision? I'd love to connect with you and have a human to a human conversation about ditching our comfort zones and going for the life we want.

Sharing one's own story might feel natural for extroverted entrepreneurs, but it's not that easy for introverts. And yet your story and your voice with it are the most powerful marketing tools in your business.

Wasn't part of your story what motivated you to start your business in the first place? Why not use it to inspire others, attract your ideal client so you can help more people, and grow your biz?

It's not for me to convince you to do it, but what I can do is show you four reasons you should, at a minimum, consider it.

Your story is unique to you but can be an inspiration to many.

I love Winnie the Pooh – such a wise bear he is 😊

"I'm scared," said Piglet.
"A story will help," said Pooh.
"How?"
"Oh. Don't you know? Stories make your heart grow."

(Milne, 1979)

People go thru similar things, and even though your story is unique to you, it can inspire others to change their lives for the better in ways you'd never imagine. Why do you think movies and books are so beloved? Because we develop connections with the characters, we learn from them and get inspired.

Your story is as powerful as any blockbuster movie. Through it, you can create a real bond and connection with your ideal clients. Because people buy from those who they know, connect with, and get to like and trust.

Part of my story brought me to this moment. Creating my coaching business with a mission to empower women to build wildly successful businesses with no overwhelm. Why am I so focused on eliminating the overwhelm? Because of what happened to me 3 years back. It had such an impact on me that I decided to help as many women as I can to avoid it. And here is how I'm doing it lately.

People learn best through stories

Storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to teach and learn. I remember always begging my grandmother to tell me goodnight fairy tales that she learned from her mother and grandmother. They were stories you couldn't find in books and always carried deeper meaning about values. They taught me more about being kind and respectful to others than anything else.

So what do you want your audience to learn from you? What message does your brand carry? You can use your story to convey powerful and inspiring messages.

Your story co-creates your brand.

As a solopreneur, your story helps you create your brand and be unique. It helps to cut through all the noise out there, you must stand out.

Is screaming louder, going to help you? Can you invent new colors that no one else is using? That can be a tall order. Even though don't get me wrong, the colors will enhance and showcase your brand.

Screaming only adds to the noise. Colors look great but are not powerful enough on their own. Your story is what makes the hole in the wall fo noise like a river in a hag stone and flows through to reach those who need it.

And yes, I can almost hear thoughts coming up for you now (because I had them too 😥) ...

... my story is not remarkable; who'd be inspired by it?

... what if people criticize me for sharing it?

... nothing is exciting about it ...

What I want to tell you here is that all those thoughts ARE NOT TRUE. Your story has some serious power to help others, help you stand out, and grow your business. And you won't even know how much power it has until you start using it.

When people resonate with it, they will share it with others.

I saved the best reason for last. Because you'll inspire and help others, your story will spread. People love to share stories that helped them in life.

Remember the last time you recommended a book or movie you loved to your friends? Or the last time you shared a powerful TED Talk on your feed for others to see? Yes! That was a story that impacted you, and you wanted that impact to carry on.

The same will happen with your brand story. People who will resonate with it, who will feel inspired, will share it with others. And word of mouth is one of the best marketing strategies there is.

So are you convinced now? Will you take this blog and use it as your motivation to craft and share your story? I hope that you will. If you don't know how to go about it and start, then schedule a free consult with me here. I'll give you some tips 😊.

100 blogs, 100 weeks, 100 ideas, and an average of 95,000 words written; I'm here. What's started as a thought of "I always wanted to write, so let's see how it goes" became an almost two-year journey of never missing a week. A journey that taught me a few things along the way, and today's milestone reminded me to pause and think about them. And as I was doing it, I decided I'd share my lessons with you.

1. Idea generator and content gold-mine

My commitment to writing a weekly blog generated a need for me to have a topic idea every week. This need improved my "observation" skills. I learned social listening - picking up ideas from posts and conversations I read through each week. These observations also allowed me to tune more into my ideal client's challenges, goals, wants, and needs.

Now, I have a section in my journal with a running list of ideas that indeed became a content gold-mine. Because even though not every idea I wrote down was perfect for a blog topic, but it could find its way home through a newsletter, LIVE training in my FB group, or a social media post.

Moreover, the blogs themselves became my foundation for social media posts and inspiration for other content. They became a wealth of ideas that never runs out.

2. Copywriting skills

Even though I always wanted to write, not being an English native speaker delayed me from picking up that dream after moving to Canada. But when I finally did, weekly blogs became an excellent training and practice ground for me honing my copywriting skills.

I believe that every online business owner needs to learn how to write marketing copy for their business. It's one of those essential skills that even if you outsource entirely one day, you need to know the basics yourself first.

Why? Because that's the way, you communicate with your ideal client online. This is how they get to know you, like you, and trust you. And how can you show them who you are if someone else builds your style and persona from the beginning? Authenticity means you're the one writing about who you're and your business. You are the one talking to your audience. The more you show you understand them, the more they'll trust you are teh one who can help them, the stronger the connection you'll build.

3. Discipline

Writing a weekly blog doesn't always come easy. To stick with this commitment, I developed a whole routine of writing. Each week one day, I pick a topic, do the research, outline the blog, and create 5-15 different titles for it. Another day I write the first draft no matter how shitty it is (who read Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird? …). And then, on the third day, I edit and post my blog. I've repeated this routine every week for 100 times now. I have no doubt that this routine has strengthened my ability to commit and self-discipline to do anything I chose.

4. Learn as much as you share

Research is one of my favorite parts of the process. Digging deeper into the topic I have chosen by going back to the books I read, searching more online, reading - I love all THIS. It's what keeps my eyes open at 5 in the morning when my body would instead go back to bed to sleep. Because my mind, on the other hand, is in exploration heaven saying: "Let's dig deeper, Maggie."

That brings another thought to my mind about discipline. Because I love learning, I could lose myself in research for hours on end. But who has time for that? Knowing when enough is enough, and it's time to move on to the next step and doing it is not as easy as it may seem. Having a weekly deadline on the blog motivates me not to go on reading and researching forever.

5. Boosts the creativity

The more you create, the more creative you become. The more ideas come to your mind. Creativity is like a muscle. You lose it if you don't use it, and you bloom it if you do.

Plus, learning how to put your thoughts on paper improves your overall critical thinking skills. You become faster, sharper in your thinking, and learn how to put something together logically so that your audience can follow and understand. These are some amazing skills that you can use anywhere in your life.

Over the past 100 weeks, I didn't just create 100 blogs, but also 2 weekly LIVE pieces of training on different topics, a weekly newsletter, and a few coaching courses. All this while growing my business and serving my clients, being a mom and a wife, doing an online executive MBA (that requires lots of writing as well), and having a demanding full-time corporate leadership job ... Yes, it's all possible, and that discipline from point 1 helps 😊

6. Decide if this is a lifetime commitment or a chapter in your life

After the two years of writing, I'm starting to think if I should continue and make it my life-long commitment or just a chapter in my entrepreneurial journey.

BTW do you know that Seth Godin writes a DAILY blog (yes, DAILY!) and has never missed a day for I don't know how many years now ….

Lately, I have been thinking about launching a podcast. Over the past couple of years doing LIVE video training, I came to love the idea of teaching and bringing value while talking, not just writing. But writing also has its magic that's still talking to me and not going away. So hey, maybe I can do both - work it out in a way that works for me.

What do you think?

When I started my coaching business, I was terrified of hearing a 'NO' from a potential client. I wanted to help them so bad it hurt me when they chose not to hire me.

As I have been talking and coaching female entrepreneurs, I find that most, especially at the beginning of their journey, have the same fear. And it can manifest itself in different ways.

For example, by not making an offer on a consult call because of thoughts like these coming up for them:

- 'this person can't afford it';

- 'it's not going to work out anyway;'…

... or wanting to help the other person so bad that the desperation comes through and turns them away.

The secret to booking consistent paying clients is overcoming the fear of 'NO' and leading your discovery calls as a relaxed conversation.

A human to a human conversation where:
a) you diagnose your ideal client's problem,
b) decide if they are a good fit for you, and
c) if so - make an offer without the attachment to the outcome.

Easier said than done, isn't it? I know ….

However, after this read, you'll have the tools to overcome this fear and make the consult calls much more comfortable.

Know that this happens to everyone.

One of our primary needs as human beings is to be accepted. We want to fit in, be liked, be apart of a community. Thousands of years ago, that meant safety, food, and shelter. Being rejected by the tribe meant death in the wild. That's why our brain fears the rejection so much, and it cannot distinguish a simple "No, I'm not ready to work with you yet" from the previous scenario.

That's why before any conversation with a potential client, remind yourself that 'NO' is a normal part of running a business. We all hear it, even the most successful entrepreneurs. Remember that 'NO's' are not infinite and that one more takes you one step closer to the next 'Yes.'

Be kind to yourself.

When you feel down or scared of being rejected, be kind to yourself. Acknowledge your feelings, and remember they are normal. Acknowledgment is a first step to being able to address the fear and reframe your mindset around it.

You can tell yourself:

"It's normal to feel scared right now. Everyone would. But if I don't make an offer to this client, I'll deprive them of the opportunity of receiving help, and they need it."

Or

"It's normal to feel this way right now. And my business success doesn't depend on this one individual 'Yes' or 'No'. If this person doesn't end up working with e, that's OK. The next one will."

When you offer love and kindness to yourself, you'll be able to show it to others. And that's the frame of mind you want to have when going into consuls calls.

Use it as a self-development tool.

If you're committed to attracting paying clients consistently, then use every discovery call you have as a learning opportunity. Take 5-10 mins after each and think:

• What went well, and why?
• What didn't go so well, and why?
• How did I feel, what was I thinking?
• Where was my focus during the conversation?

The more you do it, the more self-aware you'll become and develop ideas on how to improve the next conversation and address your fear of rejection.

Always keep things in perspective.

Fear of 'NO' from a potential client can lead you to be very attached to the conversation's outcome. And when you are, desperation will come out. If you're desperately trying to get a 'YES,' the other person feels it and automatically gets turned off by it.

Reframing your mindset before the consult call and putting things in perspective will help you avoid that trap. You want to start the call with abundance, relaxed, and letting go of the outcome. The one 'NO' is not going to make or break your business.

Think about it this way.

If you're new and keep taking action, you'll eventually hear a 'Yes.' 'No's are not infinite. If you're more established, you've booked clients in the past, you'll book them now and in the future. They are out there, and you'll keep attracting the right ones for you.

Face Your Fear

If fear of rejection keeps you away, even from booking the consults in the first place, face it. To paraphrase Nelson Mandela: courage is not about NOT feeling fear. Courage is doing things in spite of fear.

Here's an idea to make it easier for you. Make a contest with yourself (it's a technique used in many sales training). Create a checklist for 100 'No's'. Anytime you get a 'No' from a potential client, you'll get to check a box. If you get to 100, you win (pick a prize you'd treat yourself too with the win)! The great thing about it is that to get to 100 NO's, you'll hear some 'Yes's" in-between for sure! This way, it will be a win-win with every conversation. Either you hear a 'No' and get to check a box taking you closer to winning, or you book a client, which is a win in itself!

And if you're struggling to get fully booked with consults (so you can practice dealing with your fear of failure), then first book on a consult with me here and I might be able to help 😊.

Every one of us carries some baggage of limiting beliefs. Whether we got them through school, our parents, or society in general, doesn't really matter. What matters is that now as adults, we have the power to shed them.

Getting rid of beliefs that don't serve us and replacing them with those that do is key to your business and life success. The first step to that is awareness.

Here are the 5 most common limiting beliefs that I see in female entrepreneurs and help my clients shed through coaching.

1. Knowledge is power

As Jim Kwick said in his fantastic book Limitless, knowledge is power ONLY if you act on it. If you just accumulate knowledge and never use it, you're only gathering information that doesn't really serve you.

What I see in female entrepreneurs is that gathering knowledge is a pretext for lack of action. It's a camouflage to avoid facing the fear of rejection and not putting yourself out there. They think that "if I do this one more course, read that one more book, and review the program I took a few months ago," somehow, they'll get themselves ready to go out there and serve their clients better.

In fact, there is a 99.9% chance you don't need to learn anything new right now. Never in human history has there been so much information readily available, a few clicks away. Most people actually don't have an information problem but an action problem.

So if you're guilty of doubting your own knowledge, I challenge you today to shut down all those thoughts. Reframe this limiting belief into "knowledge is power ONLY if I act on it" and identify 3 actions you can take to move your business forward starting today.

2. I need to try everything that others are doing to be successful.

This belief is also rooted in fear of taking action and a lack of self-confidence. Our primitive brain is attracted to the next "shiny object." That's why tactics that allegedly will you make millions in three months are so popular. As humans, naturally, we shy away from hard work. We like easy solutions and fast results. And we'll happily fall prey to "get rich quick" promises, especially when other people are doing the same.

The thing is that in business, you want to stand out. You want to be different so that your ideal audience can see and distinguish you from the sea of competition. If you do everything the same as others, you're giving in your power of competitive advantage.

And yes, being different takes real work. I can take longer to figure it out, but when you do, you're the one who wins in the long term.

The point I'm making here is that you don't need to do everything that others are doing. You can have 3 simple business growth strategies that work for you, are unique for you, and focus on them. That concentrated energy you give them will exponentially pay off in much better results than anyone else around you.

3. There is nothing I can do about it.

When we start believing that there is nothing we can do about a situation, we give away our power, our control over our own business. When you do that, it's easy to fall into helplessness and procrastination.

Instead, I believe that we always have a choice.

Maybe we didn't choose what happened to our business and us (ex. the pandemic), the situation we are in, but we have a choice on how we react to it. And when you understand and embrace it on a deep level, this belief is freeing and empowering.

The thing is that when you think you can do nothing about a situation, it's also a choice. And you can replace that choice with "I CAN do something about it." "I will learn, think, and take action no matter how small," and this attitude empowering and keeps you moving forward.

To paraphrase Winston Churchill: If you're going through hell, don't stop but keep going, and you'll eventually get out of it

4. I don't know what to post.

Yes, I know this limiting belief is particular to the online world. Still, hey, I help female entrepreneurs get consistent paying clients, mostly online, so it's a big one.

My take on it is this is a bit of a lazy belief. As I mentioned above, we live in a world of information overload. A wealth of knowledge is literally one Google search away.

If you really care about your ideal client and take steps to learn what's important to them, what problems and dreams they have, you'll never run out of ideas for your content.

Yes, it's good to have some tools in your pocket to know how to design your content to convert. But once you learn the basics, only practice will make you better.

And you know what's also great? The more content you post, the more ideas come your way. If you pair that with some solid habits of consistency, you've just sped up your journey to business success.

5. If I give it enough time, it will work out.

Your business growth is actually not just a matter of time. Time in itself doesn't matter. It's what we do in that time that determines the results we get in our business.

Time isn't the only aspect to influence our results. When you think only time matters, the way you show up in your business is different, less focused, and makes it take longer. You fill your days with actions that don't lead to quick results.

And unfortunately, for many female entrepreneurs, this belief has them running out of time, money, or motivation to keep going. This leads them to give in to limiting belief # 3.

But what if you turned that around, took full responsibility for where you are, and figured out where the problems lie? You could turn things around fast. You could sign a client this week and get fully booked by the end of the year... Not by hustling, but by investing your work time only in the most effective things that move you forward.

You're probably thinking: "Yes, Maggie, all this sounds great, but it's easier said than done."

"Life" happens to everyone. Even if you don't experience extreme hardships, there are still unexpected family emergencies, you or kids getting sick, smaller incidents, etc. None's life is filled with rose petals making it easy to go through it.

But somehow, some people, when starting their business, forget about that and have this "entrepreneurial ideal" of the sun always shining.

On the contrary, when you're an entrepreneur, and the business depends on you to run, such unexpected events can create a lot of personal stress and potential loss of income. Unlike in a 9-5 where maybe you have paid sick days, or even can take an extended leave of absence to deal with whatever comes your way and still have a job to go back to when running your own business, that cushion might not exist.

That's why being able to keep showing up consistently in your business in order not to jeopardize your income and with it creating more stress is so paramount.

How do you do that? Here are the 4 key steps to managing your personal stress while running a business.

Take care of yourself first.

To run a strong business and support your loved ones in any aspect, you need to be healthy and strong first. Getting enough sleep and rest to recharge, eating healthy wholesome foods, staying active, and nourishing your mind & soul are not luxuries but non-negotiables for you to function at your best.

It's much easier to handle stress and think clearly when quick decisions and pivots are needed when you're nourished, well-rested, and grounded. Establishing healthy habits in your life ill allow you to adopt and maintain all this with ease and consistency.

Develop robust systems in your business

If you've already been running your business for a year or two and haven't set-up any supporting systems, you need to start doing it now.

First, ensure you have a back-up for all the critical information.

Second, automate as much as possible so certain things "run themselves" without your constant oversight.

Next, ensure that you have great relationships with everyone who provides critical support to your business: employees or outsourced tasks, suppliers, vendors, etc. Build these relationships on mutual trust, work ethic, and integrity. With that, establish clear expectations of everyone's roles, provide them with tools, training, and clear direction.

They can help you run your business when you're unable to do so from time to time. You should take it as far as creating and training everyone on your business continuity plan. It can be as simple as a listing of who does what when unexpected events happen.

Establish an emergency fund

Unless you are already financially free, you should have an emergency fund. It's an X amount of quickly available cash that will not only allows your business function without income for a minimum of 3-6 months but also will cover your personal expenses.

And yes, I know that it might be hard to achieve but just like personal savings, but it is indispensable to get to. Having such a fund will reduce your stress and allow you to focus on whatever emergency you need to deal with at the time of need.

Become proactive and a highly performing CEO

Lastly, the same way you set up healthy habits to support your well-being, you must set-up high-performance routines and habits that will allow you to be highly effective and proactive in our business. Both support and complement each other.

Strategy and weekly planning are the first two vital must-have high-performance habits.

Why? Because strategy allows you to focus only on your business's most essential things and not give in to "time-wasters" keeping you busy but unproductive. In the time of personal emergencies, it creates time, allowing you to switch to dealing with them without jeopardizing the business as much.

Moreover, a weekly planning habit puts you in charge of your time. Days and other people's agenda's no longer run you. You control what you do when you do it, and how. So again, when unexpected things happen, you can quickly understand how this will affect your week and be able to proactively rearrange things (contact clients, suppliers, employees, or vendors) and tend to the emergency.

The next high-performance keys are your mindset and ability to make quick decisions.

Keeping your cool when "things happen" instead of panicking allows you to better assess the situation. You can better remember all the critical things you need to arrange in your business to focus on dealing with personal life. Making fast decisions in those moments is a must.

And if right now you're overwhelmed by the amount of "must have's" to set up and are not sure if it's even possible, I can assure you it is. We're capable of waaay more than we give ourselves credit for. Sometimes, we just need a little push.

Read this piece from one of my clients and see for yourself:

After trying every productivity strategy, I read about online with lacklustre results, I found Maggie. In the same month, I started receiving coaching from Maggie; I doubled my income even in the midst of a family emergency. After another family emergency came up in the second month of coaching, with her guidance, I doubled my income again. In the third month, I maintained my new income level, hired a staff member, and scheduled myself completely for the month ahead with plans to expand my business and do some more hiring. Beyond that, her insights go so far beyond building good habits. She has a way of completely shattering your perception of what you think you can achieve, then replacing it with mind-blowing possibilities that you suddenly realize are completely achievable. Those new mindsets alone have taken me farther than I could have imagined. This is how she has changed my life for the better at least three times over. It happened so often, I started losing count.
