Goal Setting & Achievement Podcast: Business|Productivity

As a business owner, you’re constantly on the move. There are a million things that constantly need your attention and you’re making decisions left and right. Moving fast is just a way of life.Making quick decisions, however, is not necessarily the same as making good decisions.When you dive into cognitive psychology and economics, you’ll discover that there is an actual science behind the act of decision-making. The ideas of fast and slow thinking as two different modes of thought, were first described in Daniel Kahneman’s book Thinking, Fast and Slow.According to Daniel, we have a two-system way of thinking: Thinking Fast (System 1) and Thinking Slow (System 2). Keep listening for more on how to recognize these systems within yourself, and how harnessing the power of each one can help improve the quality of the decisions that you make.Thinking Fast (System 1)An easy way to think of System 1 is that it is your gut reaction to experiences in your life. It is arguably the stronger of the two systems, and we tend to default to thinking fast, or reacting quickly, before moving on to a slower processing of events.Thinking Slow (System 2)System 2 is the slower, more thoughtful sibling to System 1.While System 1 is the younger sibling who screams “Let’s go!” and jumps off a roof into the pool because it seems fun, System 2 is the more responsible older sibling who takes time to assess the risks of jumping off of the roof and decides it’s probably better not to do it. Apply Fast and Slow Thinking to Your Business I’m the author of many books, including, Excuses Don’t Count; Results Rule, Live Life with No Regrets, No Excuses, The Guide to Stopping Procrastination, The Power of Visualization, My Gratitude Journal, the Work Life Balance Emergency Kit, and The Roadmap To Success with Stephen Covey and Ken Blanchard, and more.  Aim for what you want each and every day!  Anne BachrachThe Accountability Coach™Unlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today! Want more proven business success tips and resources?

Entrepreneurs are extremely driven and have a knack for getting what they want. Though they’re often under immense pressure and juggle multiple responsibilities, the best entrepreneurs seem to handle everything with grace while still coming out on top. So, what types of behaviors allow them to get ahead and win that we can implement? Let’s explore eight habits that successful entrepreneurs swear by. Whether you’re just beginning your entrepreneurial journey or find yourself questioning your next move, you can find inspiration and direction from these eight habits. Nearly half (42.6%) of entrepreneurs fear failure, despite evidence that business owners need to be comfortable with failure and learn from the experience. This fear of not succeeding is what’s detrimental to businesses, not the failure itself. The fear of failure is obviously bad for your business, so you need to quickly learn to overcome it. How an entrepreneur deals with failure impacts how their direct reports bounce back from them also.Want more proven business success tips and resources?

Do you want to boost your business’ profitability and more quickly lead your company to even greater success? Many times, the best thing we can do is look at how others achieved their success that we want for ourselves. So, if you want to experience and enjoy your ideal business and ideal life, let’s look at what wealthy people are doing. You may not be able to afford their limos, mansions, and designer clothes just yet; however, their successful habits are free for you to adopt, as soon as you are ready.  What is the definition of a habit?  So we are all on the same page, a habit is something that a person does often in a regular and repeated way.  It is any regularly repeated behavior that requires little or no thought and is learned rather than innate. A habit—which can be part of any activity, ranging from eating and sleeping to thinking and reacting—is developed through reinforcement and repetition. Let’s now take a look at the 12 success habits that wealthy, self-made people have in common. Self-made millionaires agree on one thing—building wealth is a multi-faceted approach, and habits play a huge part in it. Thankfully, it costs little to nothing to adopt these 12 wealth-building behaviors. With a little effort, patience, and persistence, you can make one, two, or all of these habits part of your life to help you achieve the wealth you’ve been dreaming of! Go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com to check out for yourself how I, as your Accountability Coach™, can help you get and stay focused on you highest payoff activities that put you in the highest probability position to achieve your professional and personal goals, so you can enjoy the kind of business and life you truly want and deserve.  Get your daily Accountability Minute shot of a single, simple, doable idea, so you can start your day off on the "right foot".
