10 Steps to Increased Wealth in your Business and your Life!

Here are 10 steps that may help you reach a level of increased success in your life today. Walk through them and adapt those steps that may assist you to reach your objectives faster, easier and with more fun.
1. Make decisions; When people ask me in my seminars 'how' to learn to take decisions, I reply them that it is actually very easy,...Just take them! Workout your decision making muscles, just the same as you work out any other muscle in your body! Train them every single day. How do you grow to be 'experienced'? by taking lots and lots of decisions. First you will make mistakes, take the 'wrong' ones. But finally you will start making more 'good' decision that bad ones. The moment you reach that level, people will start calling you 'experienced'!
2. Time Blocking; You need to create a schedule for all your daily, weekly and monthly activities. Time frame them and keep yourself to it. It will help you go through your agenda smoother and it will provide you with more feeling of fulfillment.
3. Keep the value of your invested time; Time is one of your most important assets and should be treated in that manner. The secret is trading less time for more money! This focus will increase your value and thus your overall productivity.
4. Invest your time in high pay off activities; This may sound weird to some, but when in business some activities are essential and will produce the most return towards the invested time. I'm talking about lobbying, prospecting, lead follow up, appointments, negotiating contacts, coaching your staff and planning your business. It doesn't serve anybody when you just work 'hard' and invest 'lots of 'hours' when the things you are doing are not of a high return.
5. Develop your own business philosophy; With this I mean that you should set your own guidelines for doing the business you are doing. Write it out fully, create a masterpiece and follow it diligently. This might just become the 'fil rouge' of your business.
6. Understand your business fully ; Enhance your specialized knowledge, know and 'own' all that has to do with the business you are in. You need to become a renown specialist in the things that you are doing. You need to know and out-think your competition and always stay one step ahead.
7. Prospecting, prospecting, prospecting; Most starting entrepreneurs go belly up because they dislike prospecting. Not understanding that this one activity is the lifeblood that keeps your funnel filled. Plan at least 1 hour a day, every day! to do some prospecting. It is necessary, and will become a piece of cake the more you get skilled in it. Not doing it is a ticket for the down-slide. Prospecting is never personal, nor is the rejection you will face. It's a numbers game, and 100% business!
8. Become a potential client qualifier; You should become able to recognize a potential client a mile away. Stop thinking in stereotypical patterns. Imagination will outbeat intelligence all the time! Find at least 1 new way to approach potential clients a day. Turn it into a game, go crazy and have fun. You will be able to spot potential clients in areas you never thought of before!
9. Create strong systems; Once you created a winning strategy, turn it into a sysyem. Then work and alter the system until it works all the time. Onces you created strong systems you are getting your business into a momentum speed. 
10. Streamline, prioritize and delegate; During my seminars, we invest lots of time in these 3 magical words. Your business can only grow to the extend that you can streamline, prioritize and delegate your activities. Stop what you are doing once a month, make a list of all the activities you are doing in a day and analyze how many of them you can streamline, prioritize and delegate to others.

Here you go.
