Up The Game In Order to Succeed

I recently sat down with a woman entrepreneur who decided a couple years ago she wanted to dramatically increase her sales. A year after her decision she brought in $500,000 in sales. This year she is on her way to making $1,000,000 in sales.

Last year I met with a woman entrepreneur who had taken a risk and created a large new event for her company. Her goal was to have 100 women in attendance and she did. A year later her attendance doubled and sponsorship in her event quadrupled.  

Both women possessed the desire and intent to up-the-game, take challenges, and risk failure in order to succeed.  It also took hiring staff and outsourcing work to double their work efforts. It required more aggressive sales strategies to find financing. They also needed organized systems to run their operations better. It took a lot of planning and management.

Success doesn’t happen overnight unless you are a very lucky lottery player. In most cases for women entrepreneurs like the two I described above comes from a clear vision, deep seated faith, a willingness to let others help, and sheer determination. Both told me that if they didn’t hit their goal – one million dollars or a sold out event – they would be happy with what they did get knowing they worked every day to do their best. 

I hope to see you next week at the second annual “Inspiring Success” The Women TIES Retreat  where you will walk away with tools, strategies and business connections to take you business to the next level.  Let September 23^rd be the day you commit to up-your-game and set new challenges for yourself and your business.
