When trying to achieve a consistency of output or outcome, you need to have good systems in place. What do you have?

A few weeks ago, I chatted with Beth Berghan about having the difficult conversations before they became hard conversations and I found some words to live by. Rather than letting a problem bubble along until it becomes un-ignorable (is that a word?), address it early when you can still address it. It's Difficult, but not Hard.

Rick Nuske believes the rate of failure in small to medium size businesses is both unacceptably high and largely avoidable. He also believes that with a little bit of help, small to medium size businesses can achieve much better results. Additionally, he believes that it's his obligation to help increase the survival rate by sharing everything he knows about getting results online.

Motivation gets you going, Habit keeps you there - Zig Ziglar Shout up to Kevin and Alan at Next Level Podcast for some of the inspiration for this one - Episode 1640. To become successful at something, you have to just keep doing it. No matter how imperfect it is to start with.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take - Wayne Gretsky Michael Jordan is the highest scoring basketball player in the NBA (at least). I believe he's also the one the most missed shots. Why?

Scripts help your staff stay 'on track' when speaking to customers / clients / patients. They also help keep your business compliant etc etc etc. But do they also remove the 'personal touch' that an individual can bring to a conversation. I think so? What about you?

If you aim at nothing, you'll hit it everytime - Zig Ziglar How do you expect to move forward if you don't set a goal? I think Zig is entirely spot on here. What about you?

Do you feel the need to apologise ALL THE TIME? I know I do. Here's something I'm going to try ... tell me what you think.

Does something keep happening in your business or life in general that makes you say "Why does this always happen?" It might be a lesson you need to learn, I had another one recently and the answer came from an interesting source. Let me know your experiences!

You don't have to work everything about your business processes out yourself. Sometimes, your team will have insights that you simply don't have, so why not ask them?

A bit of a change of pace, today. When you're dealing with someone who seems to be a 'bad mood', remember that you never really know what's going on in their life. Thoughts? Questions? Disagreements?
