When you started your business you had enough confidence to get it going.

That confidence turned an idea into income.

But here's what happens next.

Most people quickly learn it's not as easy as it first sounds, because they don't understand how money works and moves through a business and how to generate more of it.

Money is a tool. And like any tool, you need to know how to use it.

When did you last stop to understand how money actually moves through your business?

The amount of money you make will never exceed the level of confidence you lead with.

Read that again.

Most business owners avoid the money conversation. they guess and hope pray payroll clears.

That's not a business, that's a gamble!

Here's what to do instead.

Measure five numbers: leads. Conversion rate. Transactions. Average sale. Margins.

Give your accountant the 10% challenge: 10% increase in revenue, 10% decrease in expenses. Most will be delighted to help.

Set up weekly cash flow reminders. Don't leave it to chance.

And stop being afraid to put your prices up. The likelihood is you won't lose the clients.

Money is an idea backed by confidence. Get more confident. Make more money.

Which of those five numbers do you know off the top of your head right now?

That's fear. But... It's also excitement.

They have an Identical physical response, but a different label.

The only thing separating the two is the story you tell yourself.

I've spent 12 years outside of the military watching people's behaviour. And it really is fascinating how self-sabotaging we are.

How often we let that internal conversation get in the way before we've even started.

A spider crawled over me the other night. My daughter told me off for the expletive that followed. 😂

Fear is real. But most of the time what we label as fear is just excitement we haven't given permission to yet.

Get that internal conversation out of the way.

What are you labelling as fear right now that might just be excitement?

Uncertainty is getting in your way, and you know it.

Here's a question I asked a room full of business owners recently:

'Has anybody felt confident in the decisions our leaders have been making recently?'

Silence, not one hand.

So here's the follow up question.

What control do you have over that?

None.

So why are you letting it consume your energy, your focus, and your decision making?

The most effective leaders I've worked with don't ignore uncertainty. They just refuse to waste time on what they can't control. They focus relentlessly on what they can.

What are you spending energy on right now that you have zero control over?

Money.
