There are 3 things required to make your New Years resolutions REAL
1. Comittment
Be ultra clear about what it is that your committed to achieving. The clearer you are with the description and clarity of what it is you will focus on, the more likely you are to be committed to achieving it. What you can picture in your head you can create in your real world. If you want a million dollars but cannot picture yourself with it or having it in your bank account or spending it, its very unlikely that your subconcious will help you commit to creating it. On the other hand if you can create those clearly defined pictures in your mind, your subconcious will work flat out, even when your sleeping, to make them a reality
2. Discipline
Never give up!! Do whats required until you have achieved what you want. Consistency and discipline go hand in hand. the person that reaps the great rewards is the person who doesnt throw in the towel when it gets tough, the person who follows a course of consistent minor achievements again and again is far more likely to succeed then the one off hotshot.
3. Determination
Give me a determined person over a skilled person anytime. A skilled person gives up at the obstacles when their skills cannot deal with something or overcome a setback. Whereas the determined person finds a way. they will go around the obstacles, over the hurdles, they embrace the challenges, look for new ways, think outside the box. They MAKE things happen rather than wait for things to happen.

Scarcity number 3
The 3rd Scarcity for business growth is knowledge.
Entrepreneurs typically start out as a one man band, the first role is Innovator- creating and developing ideas, once the idea is established they then add the role of Sales manager - to sell their products or ideas, then move on to Operations manager - to create and deliver the product or service, while this is happening sales drop off so they shift some energy to Marketing manger them back to Sales, Operations and the circle goes round and round. They then add Accounts Manager to their portfolio as clients need to be invoiced and bills need to be paid, then they recruit a staff member and take on HR and Payroll, added to this come legal, customer service and IT.
We become a jack of all trades and a master of none, our depth of knowledge in the majority of these roles is minimal and we don't necessarily execute on them well which can cost the busines dearly in terms of money and momentum.
My advice- As soon as possible outsource the roles where you are terrible, for example accounts to a bookkeeper or IT to a computer whiz, it will save you time and money and allow you to add value by doing the things you are best at.

Scarcity number 2
The scarcity of 4 key things hold entrepreneurs and businesses back.
I recently posted a blog on the first one, scarcity of time.
Today, lets deal with the second- money
Lack of money to purchase resources or materials, lack of money to invest in marketing, lack of money to recruit staff even lack of money to pay yourself what your worth.
There are several ways to create more money, and borrowing should be the last.
1. Sell more, stop doing all the fluff stuff and start making sales calls, sell sell sell, most start up businesses are in the income stage, (for profit and value stages, read the whitepaper - link below) where people are buying YOU, so get out there and sell
2. Negotiate contra deals with suppliers, provide them with a product or service in return for their product or service, this means you don't have to come up with the cash.
3. Haggle. If you can negotiate a better deal, thats less cash that you have to generate, and when I say haggle, I mean haggle like crazy, you will be surprised at how much people will reduce their price if you just ask, every dollar saved is less cash you have to generate to run the business.
There are more example in the whitepaper (see link below)
Look out for scarcity number 3 in the near future
To win at business we need to understand the 8 business frictions, the 6 mindsets of an entrepreneur and the one critical factor that drives business growth.

Scarcity number 1
Most entrepreneurs or business owners either struggle or fail due to the scarcity of 4 critical resources.
If one of these apply to you it could be holding your business back. If two or more apply you could be in serious trouble.
1. Time
They get so caught up in doing the next best thing, flitting from one to the next, rarely get paid appropriately for their time and because they are typically ineffective time managers and or poor delegators, they tend to think it is easier to do it yourself than delegate it to someone else, they live in the false belief that they will have that long desired holiday, break or cut back on the 60 or 70 hour week when X or Y happens. Every time they try to step away from the business they get sucked back in time and time again. the reason this occurs is lack processes and procedures, support and efficient time management systems.

Business is just a game
Business is really a game, it comes with its own set of rules and its own set of changing circumstances. In any game the person with the greatest understanding of the rules and the way the game is played is most likely to win.
Business is no different! If you can improve your knowledge of the rules and be aware of how the game is played you can win. Winning at business can look different to different people. For some people winning is a balance in their bank account, for others its freedom to do what they want and for others its leaving some sort of legacy.
