Iliana Rocha is a senior business leader with extensive consulting and coaching experience in all things business. Iliana has been working hand-in-hand with businesses in optimizing their strategy and operations, and is now President & Lead Coach at Clubnet Solutions Inc. Her focus is on working with entrepreneurs and small business owners on scaling and transforming their businesses profitably. Can you tell our readers more about your mission, purpose, and the work that you do? Our mission at Clubnet Solutions is to be a partner of leaders looking to transform and scale their businesses profitably. This encompasses many areas – from improving one’s own leadership skills, to managing team performance, to purposefully designing the next stages of the business to ensure it continues to thrive and mature. We know what is required to effectively and efficiently run a company and partner with leaders to develop action plans to scale and transform their businesses. We work with entrepreneurs a lot and have found that many organizations get stuck before exponential growth because their leaders don’t know how to plan ahead. Whether they are looking to grow the business scale in a manner that allows them to retain control, get access to capital, or get acquired, it is important to optimize their strategy and operations. For a company to truly take off, a leader needs to lay the groundwork and put in place the building blocks that are required for long-term success. That’s where we come in. Planning for business growth cohesively allows leaders to make sure that each and every decision and change supports and re-enforces the rest. I have observed the successes and, more often, failures of large and small organizations alike and have developed a system of best practices for ensuring that all parts of a business work well together. Once the day-to-day business management is taking care of itself, leaders can go back to doing the things they are best at – being the visionary and focusing on the problems and challenges only they are uniquely equipped to handle. We also consciously focus on helping small to mid-sized businesses. We truly believe that small businesses have the potential to contribute to society and their communities tremendously. Time and time again, small businesses behave more responsibly than large ones. They treat their employees better and tend to retain them even in difficult times; they create jobs and therefore sustain local economies. The list goes on: when the middle class and small to mid-sized businesses thrive, so do economies and communities. Are there common challenges that your customers experience? Absolutely! Although each business is unique, it’s common for leaders to experience feelings of being stuck or overwhelmed. It’s human nature - we tend to get cozy and comfortable with where we are and accept firefighting as a way of life. However, by getting stuck, leaders miss the opportunities of how to unlock change and capitalize on the company’s growth potential. No one has ever grown by keeping things status quo since it is difficult for the status quo and exponential growth to coexist. When you experience new, more complicated problems, that is a sign of progress! But first, you have to get over your everyday challenges. We often find that leaders come to us with what appears to be a unique problem that they just can’t seem to address. The commonality, however, is that these leaders are focusing on symptoms rather than root causes. So, we help them identify what is truly at the core of their challenges. That’s when you can pin-point what organizational framework, leadership coaching, or team development activity will solve that problem. The symptoms are diverse, but the root causes can usually be boiled down to pretty standard business challenges. That’s good news because it means those are easier to solve and the solutions are long-term. They enable streamlining within the organization, removing roadblocks and freeing up leader and team time to focus on higher-value items. You have a wide knowledge of business and leadership principles. What do you enjoy helping people with the most? That’s an interesting question because I don’t have a favorite business or leadership area I like to focus on; I’m more interested in the lasting impact I have on these organizations. About ten years ago, my husband and I went on vacation with some really driven and capable people. When we came back home, he was feeling very motivated and said something along the lines of: I wish I could bottle up this feeling and leverage it on my off days. That stayed with me. It took me a decade to figure out how to do that for others, but when I did, it became the basis for what Clubnet Solutions stands for. We focus on not just solving problems for our customers and partners, but also on ensuring they maintain momentum and increase their own capabilities so that they need less external support in the future. Many people find it odd, but we truly believe we are doing a good job when we manage to talk ourselves out of a job. That means that whatever it was we were doing as part of an engagement, we’ve now equipped the team or company to do that themselves. That’s why we favor coaching over consulting. As much as we enjoy solving business problems, we are much more satisfied when we’ve equipped an organization and its talent to continue to grow and thrive on its own. Business Excellence is something Clubnet Solutions stands for. If you could give 3-5 tips on how to achieve Business Excellence, what would that be? I just published my first book: Level Up! Low hanging fruit to instantly improve your small business (you can get it on Amazon). Through years of coaching and consulting in large organizations, I have developed a system of best practices built on the 6 pillars of business excellence success. This is the framework we use as part of our Clubnet Solutions engagements. The book expands on each of the pillars: purpose-driven business, authentic leadership, talent focus, strategic planning, operational excellence, and performance management. There is a lot of information, but if I had to summarize some key takeaways, they would be: You can’t expect everyone to strive for excellence or the business to grow if you aren’t willing to invest in your own leadership skills. When you focus on continuously improving yourself, you set an example for your team and weave continuous improvements in your company’s DNA. That is a recipe for growth! Hire and grow a high-performance team. I talk a lot about how to identify top performers and how to manage and grow them so that they remain loyal to your organization. Many leaders seem to think that if you really invest in your people, they’ll take the learnings and go to greener pastures. That’s not the case – high performers value how they are managed over pay-based incentives. I encourage business owners to identify and grow the future leaders of their companies. That way, when the organization scales, they have the right people to help manage the more complex structure. The last takeaway I’ll include is around performance managing your organization. A lot of leaders either don’t keep a pulse on how the internal and external environments are changing, or simply report on these changes but don’t adjust their course of action. That is a mistake. The organizations that do the best are the ones that, at any given point, know where they stand and have contingencies in place to adapt to whatever changes in the environment happen. That may be recognizing changes in leading indicators and engaging in preventative action, or it could be understanding that the environment is more favorable than anticipated and truly leveraging that opportunity. One way or another, adaptability is key! Finally, what do you have in front of you, and what’s your next big goal or project? We continuously try to create or evolve our offerings as we look for new ways to support leaders and business owners. We’ve realized that nothing is as lonely as trying to run a business by yourself. So we’ve been looking for ways to give business owners some of the support that large organizations get, but smaller businesses can’t afford. At Clubnet Solutions, we believe that it takes a village to build a business. So we’ve introduced the concept of advisory boards. A mix of a mastermind and an executive board, an advisory board, is where you can get perspectives from other leaders to test new ideas, create accountability, increase sales, and find camaraderie within a like-minded community. We have defined the concept and the offering and are now looking for the best way to reach business owners who could benefit from a Clubnet Solutions advisory board.

Written by: Melia Diana, Executive Contributor Executive Contributors at Brainz Magazine are handpicked and invited to contribute because of their knowledge and valuable insight within their area of expertise If we have a wounded soul, why do we think we are ready for dating? Anytime a person is wounded in their inner soul- it causes a dripping effect onto others. Our relationships suffer, we suffer, and most importantly, other areas of our lives will continue to be incomplete disarray until we heal. The dating scene has surely gotten rough… not going to lie. The very fact that we are trapped in the house these days due to COVID doesn’t make dating any easier. Who wants to meet a potential spouse with a mask smashed over our face? I get it. However, maybe we can look at online dating from our home as a positive. If we can take a step back and get to actually know each other on a spiritual and emotional level instead of a physical one, with a guarded heart. In that case, we can truly get to know someone’s heart instead of hopping into a fleshy needy desire. “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life” (Proverbs 4:23 NLT). We unintentionally step in the dating realm, not knowing how we affect others. We are subconsciously unaware and disillusioned that we might be the problem- of course , we assume it has to be the other person’s fault. Are you guilty of this defense mechanism? I’ve come into harsh terms with myself that I am not perfect. Shocker… right ? Most of us portray we are the innocent victims. We like to self-justify, retaliate, and belittle to defend our weaknesses. We love to point fingers. Put up a shield to hide our deficiencies. And, look out if someone challenges that! So what’s going on? We all have been hurt, mocked, lied to, and had some kind of betrayal in our lives. In that particular moment, we were flabbergasted, offended, and upset, but as the day progressed- more turmoil started to fester inside our souls. The state of shock usually takes us back quite a bit. We constantly relive the unpleasant feelings of our past. We get in a trapped mindset and astound that a loved one would do that to us. Now, the bitterness starts to set in. We are fuming with wretched ideas that we are God’s “special one” and don’t deserve that kind of treatment. True, we don’t necessarily deserve bad treatment from others, but understand we are all hurting. "The ultimate goal of dating is to find your husband." This explains the wounded soul and its need for true healing. I have to warn you about a little secret here. The enemy wants us to stay trapped in our pain, but God wants more for you. Let me kindly chime in here and say that unless our souls are cleansed by the son of Jesus, we will continue to vomit our pain on others. It’s quite scary thought! My job, as a Certified Christian Counselor & Dating Coach for single Christian women, is to help people identify core root issues and purge anything hindering God’s best for them. I help women discover who they are in Christ as they gain better clarity on how to date properly in their single season. They learn how to heal internally, God’s Way, and attract a godly man, so they feel loved and worthy again. The ultimate goal of dating is to find your husband. In my findings, if people don’t get to the root of their problem- they will continue to attract the same kind of mate. Like attracts like. Unhealthy relationships, childhood trauma, family issues and old flings are part of the unraveling process of the transformation journey. There is always more than what meets the eyes of every individual. We sometimes have to take a step back and take a good look in the mirror. Yikes ! Reality is that there are hurting people out there, sometimes hurting worse than you. Have you heard of the phrase- “hurt people- hurt people?” It’s so true. We certainly don’t like to be challenged in this area, but many people have unhealthy beliefs and behavior patterns that negatively affect other people. In contrast, there is a greater truth that your healing can bring joy as you discover a more fruitful way to date. Your healing can also have a positive impact on others. Here’s the kicker. Our pain affects us and our relationships the most. Whatever is in our heart, comes out of our mouth. “But the words you speak come from the heart- that what defiles you” (Matthew 15:18 NLT). So if your heart is filled with bitterness, resentments, and anger…do, you really think this will help you find “the one?” But, if your heart is at peace, rest, and filled with love- perhaps you may attract the right spouse. Get my drift? I used to think men were the problem. And although maturity is a big factor, we have to take accountability for ourselves and our choices. We must come to God to help fix our brokenness that lies deep inside our soul. “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life” (Psalm 139:23-24 NLT). I went on for half my life completely oblivious to the fact that God was my healer. I want to sincerely encourage you that you will continue to date with a wounded soul unless you heal your toxic wounds. Let’s get out of that rejection funk! You can change, but it starts with you taking action. I’m here to help guide you. God loves you.

Written by: Kelly Rolfe, Executive Contributor Executive Contributors at Brainz Magazine are handpicked and invited to contribute because of their knowledge and valuable insight within their area of expertise I have spent the last five years asking my clients this question; are you limiting yourself? And the astonishing answer is yes! You probably are too. Whether you are a million-dollar brand, a six-figure brand, or just starting your entrepreneurial journey, ask yourself this same question, “am I limiting myself in my business?” The chances are that on some level, you are. Entrepreneurs spend so much time building, marketing, strategizing, DOING; we rarely stop to evaluate ourselves. Entrepreneurship is invigorating, exciting, and thrilling like no other when things are going well, but it is also exhausting, draining, and stressful when things aren’t going so well. Your sales are down, and your funnels aren’t producing, your clients aren’t producing the results they should be; whatever the challenges are, they tend to make us feel as if we are somehow personally responsible. When we believe that we are personally accountable for the entirety of our business’ successes and failures, we leave ourselves vulnerable to self-deprecating thoughts. “Where did I go wrong?”; “What was I thinking?”; “Who do I think I am trying to reach for that goal?”. The most successful entrepreneurs in the world spend time dedicated to growing themselves daily. To learning, evolving, strengthening themselves in both mindset and strategy because they both matter equally. The business strategy is incredibly important in building the business of your dreams, but I believe that when coupled with the mindset and personal growth practices, you truly become unstoppable in creating the life and business of your dreams. When both mindset and strategy are strengthened daily, you will be able to release the self-deprecating thoughts and feelings. You will be able to handle the ebbs and flows of business with rock-solid self-belief. You will be able to face adversity without questioning your worth and/or abilities as an entrepreneur. I recommend doing a few daily practices to ensure that you are equipped to break the pattern of limiting beliefs, self-sabotaging behavior and self-deprecating thoughts. The most important practice of personal growth is a minimum of 30 minutes of personal development daily. This could be reading a book, listening to a podcast, or watching a motivational video. This practice will open you up to the power of self-improvement, the beauty of healing the self-deprecating beliefs, and giving you the tools to replace those beliefs. Journaling is an incredibly powerful yet underrated tool in growing yourself and releasing your limiting beliefs. Daily journaling will allow you to release all of the thoughts that just swirl around in your brain all day. The act of writing is scientifically proven to assist in releasing repetitive thought patterns. This is because when you write your thoughts down, you become aware of them. When you become aware of your thought patterns, you can make a conscious decision to change the thought pattern. Gratitude as a daily practice is life-altering in the way we see the world and ourselves. I encourage you to write down a minimum of three things you are grateful for before you start your day and to end your day with a minimum of three things that you were grateful for throughout the day. If you want to get the most out of your gratitude practice, I encourage you to avoid writing down the big things such as “my family, a roof over my head, freshwater” and think smaller such as “a beautiful conversation with a friend, a quiet and slow start to my day, hearing my children’s laughter”. Focusing on the smaller moments reprograms your brain to look for moments to be grateful for throughout the day. Exercise daily. This is not only incredibly important for your health; it is very helpful as a tool in your personal development journey. Daily exercise reduces levels of the body’s stress hormones (adrenaline and cortisol) while also stimulating endorphins production. Daily exercise also increases mental clarity and promotes better sleep, all of which assist in having the energy and mental clarity to challenge and heal our self-deprecating beliefs. When you are able to implement a few small changes into your daily habits, the impacts will be life-changing. Your mental clarity, emotional stability, and entrepreneurial power will increase, giving you the tools and perseverance to handle all that your life and business throw at you. Your ability to think and react clearly and from a stable place will drastically reduce your limiting beliefs, self-sabotaging behavior and self-deprecating thoughts. Show up for yourself every day. You are limitless and capable of everything that you desire! Follow me on Facebook, Instagram and visit my website for more info!

Written by: Rachel Tindall, Executive Contributor Executive Contributors at Brainz Magazine are handpicked and invited to contribute because of their knowledge and valuable insight within their area of expertise This pandemic has caused a lot of change in our daily lives. Most of us are out of our daily routines and still trying to find some kind of normalcy, even as society opens back up, and business goes on around us. The reality is that we don’t live in “normal” times. Although the unemployment rate has started to come back down from the incredible heights we saw in April and May, many of us have been or know someone who has been furloughed or laid off from a job they thought was stable. It’s a trying time for everyone, and that can be incredibly hard not just in terms of everyday work and family balance (or lack thereof), but also in creativity and being personally confident and fulfilled. The question becomes how to deal with everything going on around you in a way that doesn’t leave you feeling even more miserable. As a writer and editor who regularly works with professionals (and other writers), our best work doesn’t come from burnout. And our passion ceases to be exciting and inspiring when it feels like another thing to check off on a mile-long to-do list we have no hope of completing. I’ve found these 3 methods to be extraordinarily helpful not just for my clients, but also in my own creative and personal life. 1. Meditate : As much as people think of meditation as a spiritual act, it doesn’t always have to take on that role. I meditate almost every day, and on extra stressful days more than once. Even just a few minutes of meditation each day can drastically help you stay centered. It gives you the quiet space you need to take back your thoughts that may be spiraling out of control. If you meditate at night, which is one of the things that helps me most, it can also help you sleep more soundly so you can wake up refreshed in the morning rather than desperately trying to drag yourself out of bed. Pro Tip: You can try these apps for free! - “Stop Panic and Anxiety” & “Insight Timer” 2. Take Purposeful Breaks : If you’ve been working from home or laid off during this time, you’ll probably know the struggle of trying to figure out how to best spend your time. Look for a new job? Try to start a business? Find freelance work? Take care of a partner, kids, pets, elderly family members, or some combination? It’s exhausting! You need breaks . Your creativity needs breaks . Your body and brain need you to take breaks because they can only handle so much work and stress before it starts having physical effects. So when you think about what you need to do (especially when it’s an overwhelming number of things), take a break. It doesn’t have to be extensive (and you don’t need to go binge watch 5 episodes of your new show on Netflix) but give yourself time to disconnect and just be with yourself. Pro tip: Do NOT use your breaks to go on social media! This will stress you out more and you may fall into the trap of endless scrolling or comparing your situation to others. 3. Time It : This is probably the most useful productivity hack I have been able to implement both in the workplace and in my own business because it allows me to be focused and productive, but also take those breaks we need so badly. When everything feels like it’s spiraling out of control, you can time your tasks. Whether you work better in 20-minute chunks like the Pomodoro technique or a little bit longer, set yourself a timer, remove the distractions around you, and stick to it. When your timer is done, stop your task and stretch. Take a little break. Then set your timer again and do another focused session. You’ll be surprised by how well this works in most areas of your life, including creativity! Pro tip: Try the Forest app. I’m a little obsessed, but it’s great because timed writing is SUCH a valuable tool in a writer’s toolbox! It can take the pressure off of being perfect , and when you know you want to start something, it will show you that you can actually make progress, even if you don’t have time to set a SMART goal .

Collaborated post Just because the global pandemic has brought untold financial chaos to businesses across the globe, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be considering the welfare of your staff. At this time, more than ever, you need to keep communicating with your staff team. While you try and keep redundancy at bay, you want to keep your staff team intact. The smallest number of changes as possible will give your business the greatest chance of surviving these coronavirus days. Take a look at how you can keep your staff turnover low. Communication To keep your staff team working productively in these surreal days, you need to communicate. If they feel left out or undervalued, they may seek employment elsewhere. While business may be tough, you need all hands to the deck. Have a Monday morning briefing every week where you can encourage discussion and challenge. Communicate targets and any news that is relevant. Ask for opinions and act on those ideas that would make a real difference to your company. Every Friday, follow up with an email celebrating the successes of your staff. Namecheck those individuals who have gone the extra mile. Showing your staff team that they are valued boosts morale and can help you to retain a low staff turnover as your team are eager to stay put. Environment It doesn’t matter whether you are based in an office or a warehouse, you need to ensure that the environment that you facilitate is conducive to productive working. Swap the beige carpet tiles for some resilient wood flooring, the desktop booths for collaborative working pods, and the peeling paint for some white emulsion. If you work in a specialist environment, make sure the kit you have is fit for purpose. Utilize the most advanced medical fridges that your budget will allow if you are working in a lab environment or purchase the best computer hardware if you work in a CAD workshop. Giving your staff the equipment and gear that will facilitate productive working will keep them fulfilled and satisfied in their working lives. Flexibility In the new normal that businesses across the globe are struggling to adapt to, flexibility is key for employers. You need to embrace at home working to enable your staff team to work in a safe environment. Adding to their anxiety in what is already a chaotic time by making them come into the office may make them look for alternative work. Studies have shown that employees are just as productive, if not more productive, when they are allowed to employ remote working. This is because staff members are more comfortable and content in their own surroundings. With the emergence of Skype and Teams, you can still maintain contact with your staff, conducting important meetings in a virtual way. By empowering your staff to work at hoe, you are trusting them and making them feel valued. This remote way of working could even see you save money on office overheads, especially if you decide that you will go for full home working in the new normal future. Follow this guide and you will keep your staff turnover low during these pandemic days

Written by: Janet Henson, Executive Contributor Executive Contributors at Brainz Magazine are handpicked and invited to contribute because of their knowledge and valuable insight within their area of expertise. As a divorce coach, I help my clients deal with the emotional rollercoaster of divorce. Divorce is the second most traumatic experience in a person's life. One of the most frequent problems my clients face is dealing with the uncertainty divorce creates in their lives. It's not unusual for people to stay in unhappy, even toxic, marriages rather than face the uncertainty of suddenly being alone and facing a new future. What I can say is that it is far better to leave an unhappy relationship and deal with short term uncertainty rather than deal with the certainty of remaining unhappy. It is a cliché, but you only have one life, so live it to the full and happily. If I could read the future for my clients and gaze into a crystal ball to be able to tell them how their future would look and when they would know all the answers to the 'what if's' that constantly fill their minds, I would be in great demand! The divorce journey is full of unknowns, the biggest unknowns that bother my clients are:- Will my spouse agree to a divorce? Will my divorce be high conflict? Will my spouse be fair and honest? How do I respond to my spouse's latest demand via their lawyer? How do I manage the bills on my own? How do I manage the finances that my spouse used to manage? How do I handle my children's response to the news? When will the divorce be final? When will I know the financial settlement? Will I ever be happy again? When will I feel 'normal' again? Will I meet someone else? Where will I live? When do I finalize the details for co-parenting arrangements? Our brains are programmed to crave certainty. They dislike uncertainty. So, a bit like the fight and flight response. Because the uncertainty is incredibly painful, my clients often rush to resolve it as quickly as possible. Their actions often involve running away or lashing out, or taking a decision to hurt their spouse. After all, they want to get out of their painful uncertainty as soon as possible because their brain is wired to do this. I teach my clients that they need to embrace uncertainty and stop from acting quickly, however tempting it is to do so. I teach them to envisage a STOP sign in their minds and follow a process before they take action. I ask them to sit down with each uncertainty as it presents itself and for as long as it takes to be sure the view and see it from all angles. Not from the angle of wanting to hit back at their ex for all the wrong reasons of retribution and revenge. Often these such decisions are not in the best interests of themselves. The response needs to be considered with compassion and in the best interests of all parties involved, particularly children. Often clients have to see that they need to embrace the higher road. I always tell my clients to take time to respond, quite often if they receive a demand from their spouse's lawyer in the moment, they reply with emotion ruling the response. I tell them to sit on the demand until their initial emotion has settled, normally at least overnight. It's always better to say 'I don't have an answer at the moment. I need to think through how this will affect me, and I will get back to you. I Buy time until you have clarity and have sat down and examined it from all angles. Consequently, embracing is not about taking no action; it's about taking the time to react in the best way possible by giving themselves the time to consider the decision. I also tell my clients it's a step at a time and once one thing is resolved, you feel more empowered to take the next step in the process. It's a learning curve that helps you overtime to make the brain wait and used to not craving immediate certainty. I teach my clients to also envisage the word STOP in their minds when they start thinking of 'what ifs'. They are writing a story in their mind that might never happen and giving themselves stress. Like an addiction to anything, when the craving for certainty is met, there is a sensation of reward, but the brains drive for certainty often makes us make snap decisions that come back to bite us.

Collaborated post Meetings are integral to modern business functions; they provide employees with a time and place to communicate their ideas, exchange information, provide and discuss updates and complete problem solving tasks. Despite the importance of meetings, they often fail to be as productive as they could be. Issues may range from errors regarding participant invitations to a lack of structure in the meeting itself. An inefficient meeting room booking system can be the source of many of these issues. Consider the following example: a single employee has been tasked with scheduling and completing an online calendar for an entire department. This is more strenuous work than you may think and can easily lead to incidents of overlapping schedules for key employees and double-booked rooms, especially if editing access of the calendar is granted to other employees. So, now, meeting room booking has become a logistical nightmare. What is the solution? We live in a globalised world, where technology contributes to, and sometimes entirely facilitates, the work we do. In tune with this, the right software can streamline the booking process within a business. Add-On’s Resource Central is an example of a modern room booking system. It allows employees to select rooms for booking, invite meeting participants, use Meeting Labels, and order various catering services. Secure software such as this can be used to the advantage of a business; the product is accessible, practical, and scalable. Add On is used globally by organizations ranging from commercial giants to legal services. Resource Central makes booking meeting rooms a simple task that anyone can complete. A centralised booking system is also accessible from any location and device, providing often needed flexibility. The implementation of a user-friendly interface, which also hosts multiple languages and time zone support, means that the system is a rather universal option. In the end, determining the overall nature of the meeting and working to reach particular outcomes still remains a complex task for the employees, but initial difficulties can be avoided, and certain stressors can be reduced with the right booking system. Employee motivation is a key factor that businesses need to consider in their day-to-day operations. Long-hours filled with meetings can be exhausting and productivity will inevitably see a dip if employees are not being properly and effectively compensated. It will be even more difficult, than usual, to motivate employees if they are showing up to a meeting room that turns out to be the wrong one, or the AV equipment has not been ordered or key participants have not received their invites. When the basic parts of the whole work, and are organised well, other levels can be stably built: if the meeting room booking system eliminates certain, prevalent issues, the next steps can occur smoothly. A basic example would be that, if a meeting starts on time, it is more likely to end on time and consequently employees can proceed to their next tasks without hassle.

Collaborated post On average, we’ll spend about 30% of our lives in the office or at work. That means that when you take into account sleep or traffic, and a variety of other mundane activities most of our active life will be spent working. We’ll spend more time working than the time we get with friends, family members, and loved ones. We certainly work a lot more than we play. This can make it difficult to find a balance and keep on top of your personal and professional life. It can be tricky to keep things in check and ensure that you get the best benefits from both. Difficult, though certainly not impossible. Let’s explore some of the ways that you can best approach this issue. Delegate Effectively If you are running your own business, then it’s important that you understand how to delegate and are able to do this effectively. By delegating tasks in your business, you’ll be able to free up more of your time and avoid the dreaded issues with micro-management. Delegating doesn’t come naturally to everyone. Some will certainly struggle to relinquish control and feel stressed because they find they are handling everything in their company. They’ll even have to take care of little jobs. However, it’s a skill that can be learned and acquired over time as you continue to build up your company. Find A Job That You Love If you constantly feel as though your work is dragging down your life and eating into your personal relationships, the likelihood is that you simply don’t enjoy your career. It might be time to think about making a change. A lot of people stay in positions or careers for far too long for a variety of reasons. Like a bad relationship, some are scared that there isn’t anything else out there for them. Others like the security and stability of the job they have and are unable to let this go. You need to be brave here and pursue something that you really enjoy. Don’t forget, this is what you’ll spend the majority of your life doing. So, you certainly need to be passionate about your position. You could even think about setting up your own business. Get Your ‘Me Time’ You might think that you are already gaining this time in your life, but is that really the case? We’re not convinced because for a lot of people ‘me time’ still involves catering to the needs and desires of other people. This isn’t real ‘me time’ at all and instead, it’s just another form of work. Parents find that they encounter this problem quite a bit. They come home from work only to start what feels like a second job. It could even be the reason why a lot of relationships these days fail. People don’t make time for themselves and their partners. It’s worth planning both date days and days where you will be able to enjoy time to yourself. You’ll probably be quite tempting to spend all your time on the people you love. But if you do this, you are going to suffer burnout. Worse still, you’ll take your stress out on the people around you and ultimately end up pushing them away completely. Use The Tools That Are Available You need to understand that tech is providing a lot of ways for people to more effectively manage their professional and personal life. For instance, if you are running a company or freelancing, then you need to think about the processes of automation. It’s important that you understand there are a lot of processes in the typical business model that can now be automated. You will be able to cut down the time and the effort required to complete certain tasks with tools like a subscription manager. You should always be exploring the latest business tech available on the market. In your personal life, you might want to consider using a digital planner. This is an easy and simple way to keep up with the tasks that you need to complete in your daily life. You might also want to use a screen time monitor. It’s fair to say that we spend a lot of time these days staring at a tech device. A screen time monitor can help you understand exactly how much time you are wasting on your tech and encourage you to cut back. Look After Your Body And Mind Of course, if you want to keep your personal and professional life on track, then you do need to think about how to keep your body and mind healthy. Only by keeping yourself in the best possible shape will you be able to deal with the trials and tribulations that life throws your way. For instance, you might want to consider investing in cognitive therapy. Cognitive therapy can help provide clarity in life, even if you don’t think you are dealing with any severe psychological issues. You also need to make sure that you are keeping fit Various research studies have given evidence that staying fit helps the mind cope with stress as well as the body. This is why it’s a smart idea to fit an exercise routine into your lifestyle that you can follow and commit to. With the right exercise routine, you will feel invigorated when you start the day and keep your energy levels high. You won’t find that your work or your personal life is leaving you feeling drained. Of course, this also means that you should be eating well too and providing your body with everything it needs. We hope this helps you understand how to balance your personal and professional life without letting one completely cancel out the other. Unfortunately, right now, employee satisfaction levels are quite low and people aren’t happy in their work positions. If you’re not comfortable or happy with your job, it’s definitely the right time to make a change. Get out there and find something that you love while also discovering the time to get more from your personal life too.

Do you know two reasons why most business owners start their entrepreneurial journey? Financial independence. Time freedom. Do you know what happens a couple of years in their business? They might have reached their financial goals, but they are overworked. No time freedom! They work harder than ever and their dream of having this independent lifestyle vanishes once the next day comes with a never-ending to-do list, meetings, team management. It’s understandable that we want to supervise our business, be aware of processes, systems, and teamwork.  But how about time freedom? Is it possible to have a thriving business and work 4 hours per day or less? If this has been on your wish list, keep reading to learn steps that will get you there. Just make sure to implement them today to save more time starting tomorrow. 1. Prioritize. It can be quite challenging to understand what truly matters because often, everything seems important and urgent. For better clarity, let me teach you a couple of things that will help you put things into perspective faster and preciser.  Getting clear on your goals and vision at this moment will help you create more clarity around your action steps in order to reach them faster and more effortlessly, saving time and overwhelm. These goals should be things you want to focus on right now, a couple of things that need your attention. Instead, they are not lifelong mission statements; instead, they choose achievable focus points that are important to you in the next couple of weeks.  Creating a daily action list that supports your goals is crucial to move closer towards your goals. By choosing just 3-5 things every day that doesn’t take longer than an hour each will leave you with a prioritized list that will get you closer to your goals for this month. If, for some reason, you are not able to finish your daily tasks, be sure to consciously ask yourself what actions are most important now instead of carrying them to the next day. Sheryl Sandberg advises using Ruthless Prioritization as a Key to Great Work instead of good work. 2. Delegate. No one is doubting that delegating and outsourcing tasks can save time, but does it save money? If you have ever worked for someone other than yourself, you might have experienced that draining feeling of doing pointless tasks with no obvious result. You don’t want to be that kind of boss who gives their team tasks to fill their working hours. Why? Because you are paying for their time. So you might as well choose wisely to ensure that tasks you delegate or outsource are well-defined and important, meaning they don't waste your money and your or your team’s time. And most importantly - they bring tangible results to your business. If the task doesn’t require your genius, anyone can do it. 3. Automate. Repetition is the keyword here. Every business has processes that are repeating themselves daily, weekly, monthly, and so on. Why not save even more time by automation part (if not all) of them? This will not only bring in efficiency, increase productivity, but also eliminate human error. It is an amazing innovation that technologies have provided to us - it streamlines the workflows and processes to provide better visibility. When you notice something you do more than once that adds value, this is where you have a chance for automation. It might be scary to trust technologies, but there is no time in the world that is worth the boredom and money waste on repetitive tasks. 4. Eliminate. This part is the one you should approach with caution and also the one to not fear. Getting rid of things is fun and freeing, so it is with useless tasks and processes that have been in your business for no obvious reason. All they do is waste your time and eat up on your sanity. For example, meetings. They are usually held to define the problem - which is highly ineffective and unproductive. Instead, meetings should only be held to make decisions about the predefined situation. To avoid time-wasting chats, be sure to get clear on the agenda first and stay on the topic. Now you have to do your part. Don’t just leave this article without trying to implement things that can be life and business changing. Step aside for a moment and do a little self-audit. Notice what needs to be moved into the priorities list to reach those business goals faster, what can be delegated to create more space for your genius, what can be automated to avoid repetitive tasks, and what eventually needs to go for good. Let me know which of 4 steps are you taking already and which ones your wish to get better at?

If you have children, you know how hard it can be at times to get them to do the things they should. Between after school activities, video games, cell phones, and computers, convincing your kids to take care of their household chores and other responsibilities can be a real challenge. The truth is, not every method of motivation will work with your child. Also, what works for one child may be detrimental to another! The truth is, not every method of motivation will work with your child. Also, what works for one child may be detrimental to another! As parents, it's easy to fall into the trap of wanting to be a friend to your child, but your goal is to be their leader, teacher, and motivator, too! Here are a few things you can try to help motivate your kids to get things done: 1. Kids love praise. Your kids want your attention and praise. If they know that doing the things they're supposed to do will bring them praise, they're more likely to do those things. You're their parent, and they want to make you proud of them. By encouraging them and praising them frequently, you're reinforcing good behavior. 2. Offer rewards. Often, children are motivated by rewards. The rewards don't have to be large or involve money. You can reward your children by: Spending time with them doing an activity they enjoy Reading to them Playing games with them Curling up and watching a movie together All of these rewards are positive motivators for your children. They'll be much more eager to do their household chores if the reward is something they can look forward to. 3. Lead by example. If your kids see you doing nothing all day long, they'll feel as if it's okay for them to do the same thing. Remember that your children are like a sponge and they look up to you and want to emulate you. Show your kids that regular tasks can be rewarding. For example, seeing a bunch of separate ingredients transform into cookies that get compliments can give your child a confidence boost to help out again next time! 4. Fear of consequences. There's a big difference between consequences and punishment. When your children don't do the things they're supposed to do, you can teach them how their actions or inactions can have a negative impact on their lives and the lives of others. Take something away for a short period and explain why you're doing it and how they can earn it back. This example of natural and logical consequences is essential preparation for adult life. 5. Show love. Your children need and want your love and devotion. Get involved in their lives. If your child is really interested in something, do it with them! Showing children you appreciate them and respect their choices will build a deeper bond between you. When you ask them to get something done, they'll be more likely to do it because of the mutual respect between you. Motivating your children isn't always easy. It takes dedication and consistency to provide the example and direction needed to build a child's character. While it may seem easier to throw in the towel and do things yourself, standing steadfast and finding new ways to motivate your kids is much more likely to help him become a productive, responsible adult. As a parent, it's your job to mold your children into caring, responsible and respectful adults. Remember, children are people too and are motivated by the same things that motivate anyone else. Things like love, attention, pleasure, rewards and recognition top the list of things children crave in their lives. Heaping these essential motivators onto your children will provide great rewards throughout their lives. For more details, follow me on Facebook , Instagram or visit my website . Be sure to join my private Facebook Community for valuable information on parenting tips and emotional intelligence. Read more from Ikedah! Ikedah Alston, Executive Contributor Brainz Magazine The core philosophy of what I do is to “be who you needed when you were younger” . As a kid, I struggled with negative self image, emotional outbursts and lack of self awareness which followed me through adulthood. Over the past 11 years I have worked with children directly through volunteering in my community as a mentor, scout troop leader and as a mom, so I have seen first hand the struggles that kids go through including not knowing how to handle their emotions. And having gone through it myself, I felt that there is a gap that needs to be filled. That is why I started KIMA Kids Life Coach. I want to give our youth, the future of our world, the essential life skills through emotional intelligence to begin their journey of self awareness, effective communication and better decision making.

Success in life primarily hinges on the habits that you engage continually, which will eventually shape your life. These habits form our lifestyle - the way we live, and invariably determines what we become in life or the height we mount up to in our career. Do you want to discover the most powerful habits that molded the life and career of successful people? Can these habits, when adopted, successfully influence or facilitate your career progress? Absolutely, Yes! They can. These habits are tested and proven to be the systems of attaining higher altitudes as a professional or career person. Habits will either make or mar you as it directly influences the outcome of your life, especially your career, on whether you do excel or be below par. Some habits are healthier than others, and your everyday manners define your future and attitude toward progressing both in your career and life. The following habits discussed below are powerful habits that successful people have practiced over time and have improved their lives and careers. It is guaranteed that if you too can adopt or be addicted to these habits, they will certainly, without any doubt, improve your career and define your direction in life for greatness. 1. Continuous Learning. The most influential and also the wealthiest people in the world right now are avid learners. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet were asked in an interview if they could possess one superpower in the world, what would it be? They both asserted that being the world's fastest reader would be incredible. Reading enables you to partially skip the system of error and trial by forming the future in your mind, based on the knowledge you have acquired from other peoples' mistakes. Why make your own mistake when you can learn so much from others? Reading enables you to "stand on the shoulders of giants" by obtaining crucial information that assists you in avoiding failures or mistakes. Learning is vital for personal growth; when you stop learning, then you start dying. 2. Setting Goals . This approach can be made by practically writing down your goals on paper. This method has often been proven to make a massive impact on the life of successful professionals. A research study was carried out at Harvard University in the book "What They Don't Teach You in the Harvard Business School," in which the author is Mark McCormack. He discovered a strange truth about performance and goal setting. Writing down your goals has been proven over a long time to make a massive impact on people's all-round life! At Harvard University, research on goal setting was done, and the outcome was formatted in the book titled "What They Don't Teach You in the Harvard Business School" by Mark McCormack. There were specific facts about goal-setting and performance using a particular class of students as a case study. The study outcome shows that about 3% of the students who graduated had written plans and goals; about 13% had set goals but didn't write them down, and a large amount of 84% had no particular goals that they set. After Ten (10) years, the very class members were interviewed again, and the results were quite stunning. 13% of those who had set goals were earning twice as much as the 84% who had no set goals. And overwhelmingly, the 3% who had their goals written were making, on average, ten times more of the other 97% altogether." The truth is this; being without goals means you don't have any direction or guidance in life and nothing substantial to work towards as a set target. Set your goals by writing them down, and you will experience a massive positive turn around in your career. 3. Have a Clear and a concise Vision Vision is the road map of your life that directs you to your desired goal and concentrates your efforts with relentless zeal. Having a clear and concise vision helps you eliminate factors that can hinder you from accomplishing what matters most. When you formulate a vision with a better and brighter future, it strengthens your productivity. It also empowers you to make the essential changes needed to have a successful career and life. Your vision will help you convert your dreams into attainable realities by giving you a sense of purpose to succeed in your career and life. And this is what successful professionals possess that differentiate them from others in their careers. 4. Planning and prioritizing Doing the essential things first is a concept spoke and practiced by many successful professionals. Gary Keller and Napoleon Hill both emphasized this very concept of planning and prioritizing in their books. Finding one crucial thing to focus on and achieve every day can drive you to your promised land. This approach enables you to do away with distractions, and your goals for that particular day will be effectively accomplished. Locate your most essential task for each day and effectively execute it. You can also set a time limit for each goal so that you won't get stuck with excuses. 5. Self Development Self-development entails investing in yourself, so you can give the capacity to manage the inevitable challenges that will come your way effectively. Self-development enables you to recognize the beliefs and values you aspire to pursue in your career and life. Self-development also determines the crucial areas of your life and career that need improvement. By so doing, you can further improve your skills for a promising sense of direction to boost your value. Self-development also enables you to promote your skills and make the most of your relationships in your career path. The better you become, the more you are better positioned to excel in your career. Strive to be a better version of your previous self continually. 6. Maintaining Positive Relationships Having healthy relationships are essential habits that will bring positive changes to your career and life. We (humans) are social beings, and our success is primarily built on the kind of relationships we have with other people. The more you humbly and honestly get along with someone, the easier it becomes for you to work or live together. Positive relationships offer you the needed support in hard times, and it is a pleasant way to stay optimistic and healthy. 7. Money Management Managing money is another great pillar of success, which is changing positions from the consuming mentality into the investing mindset. It is essential to start seeing the little dollars you have as seeds. Smartly making use of your hard-earned money will enable you to develop your investments into massive pay-offs over time. Some of the basic principals' successful people have cultivated when it comes to money management include; ● They don't spend above their income. ● They don't ridiculously amass debts. ● They invest and do not spend aimlessly. 8. Follow your initiative Each time there is a need for you to make a big decision, kindly write down all of the cons and pros. Scan through them again to discover the origin of these ideas. Are they right to what you believe, or are they ideas from your society, workplace, and parents? If it is, cancel out those ideas and follow your ideas. Practice this for every significant decision, and you will begin to believe yourself and make decisions that are perfect for you. You will soon discover that you live a life for yourself and not dictated by other persons. 9. Waking up Early. Your time on earth is short. "With an average life span of 79-years," according to Tai Lopez. No successful man is a friend with his bed. They are diligent and focus on achieving their goals. Not that you should spend the whole 24 hours working without sleeping, but too much of sleep can result in a waste of time, and when time is wasted, failure is not far away Cultivate the habit of waking up earlier every day and engage in productive tasks such as reading, exercising, etc.! 10. Diet and Exercise. Finally, keep at the back of your mind that success is not just about your work; it is also about you as a person. You will struggle to flourish if your wellness and health deteriorate. Get good sleep. Exercise as often as you can weekly. And if you haven't done this, invent a meditation practice. Download an exercise app, employ a meditation coach, locate a meditation center or book at least 10 minutes in your calendar to concentrate on your breath. Do this for at least a month, and before you know it, it will be something you can not live without and continuously practice. For more information, connect with me on LinkedIn or visit my website !

A key element of leadership is to set clear goals and then to show gratitude when those goals are achieved. Gratitude is an important element in all aspects of business. I believe that everyone wants to do a good job. However, for that to happen, first you must set clear, measurable goals for everyone on your team to achieve, and second you must notice when those goals are achieved. Gratitude encourages engagement and more positive interactions. It sets a positive mindset for the team and is good for everyone’s physical health and stress levels. If an employee does not know what your expectations are, it is impossible for them to achieve them. If they do achieve it, and it goes unnoticed, then they decide it was not important after all. Gratitude focuses on success and getting the job done correctly. Practicing gratitude creates a happier workforce and attracts excellent team members. Gratitude needs to be expressed to the individual, one on one, and to the team. It needs to be freely given and authentic. Celebrate your victories as a team and their contributions as an individual and keep the focus results orientated. The people who work for you will thrive if you recognize their contribution. Gratitude is an important element in all aspects of business. Express gratitude to your coworkers, and they will work harder to collaborate with you. Show gratitude to your bosses, and they will work harder to support you. Make sure your boss gives you clear guidelines of what excellence looks like in their eyes so that you can accomplish their goals. Show gratitude to your customers, and they will find ways to do more business with you. Show gratitude to your suppliers and they will work harder to supply quality and to keep to your agreed upon timetable Gratitude serves you well in all of your relationships within the organization, from the mailroom, to window washers to Employee Relations support. The more you recognize and express appreciation for what others do for and with you, the greater your success and the more positive your impact. Gratitude enrolls them in your success because you are acknowledging their success. Everyone works harder for someone who appreciates what they contribute. Leadership based in gratitude fosters a positive work culture and encourages your team to be more productive, happy, creative, and collaborative in all your business relationships. People who practice gratitude see an abundance in their lives. It is a relationship-building practice. The opposite of gratitude as a leadership tool is self-absorption. You cannot be a good leader if you are only concerned with your own success and not with the success of the total. If you view relationships as disposable, then the only person you value is yourself. The collective mind and effort are always more successful than the individual, and self-absorption stifles creativity and cooperation with other people. It is stressful and annoying to be around someone who is only out for their own glory. That person becomes a weight that slows the others down. This atmosphere hinders productivity, and creates a dog eat dog environment with others positioning to appear important without being vulnerable and without contributing to the whole. Ungrateful people tend to be characterized by an excessive sense of self-importance, arrogance, vanity, and an unquenchable need for admiration and approval. Narcissists are all about themselves. Narcissists “expect special favors and feel no need to pay back or pay forward” or to even acknowledge efforts made outside themselves. So why would others give their best performance to such a person? Self-absorbed bosses often are “victims” looking for others to blame for their failings. They create an environment of negativity, regret, resentment, and paranoia. These bosses stifle other people’s achievements. They create spectators out of the team and not do-ers. People who would be proactive become reactive, and accomplishments are thwarted. Employees do not produce their best work, co-workers do not want to work as a team, customers are not loyal, suppliers do not save their best product for the self-absorbed player. If you are a self-absorbed manager, others in the organization do not give their best, because their best always goes unnoticed. Employee relations does not pass their best people to be on that team, because they do not want to lose that person to a narcissist boss. Entitlement is at the core of self-absorption, so when and if the achievement arrives, there are always grievances that outnumber the victories. Be the grateful boss, and success will follow you wherever you go. Grab a free chapter from my first book all about health.
