Tools for Success


Lately I have become so interested in the business world
I believe it all starts with a simple toolbox that holds all our dreams for 
what we want our business to become!

Although the toolbox is very useful and important...
putting the tools into action is
what creates real potential for us to succeed in all our dreams.


We all have dreams for where we want our business to go. Every business is SO DIFFERENT but yet the word small business is what unites us to come closer to learn and grow together.
Welcome to the tools that create
a successful businesses!


HAMMER








Hammer out good habits and Self discipline

Self discipline is so important in a small business,
especially when working by yourself, out of your own
home. It is the self discipline that keeps you working and focused
on the tasks that you need to have completed
by the end of the day.
Good habits are essential because that is what your business's 
success for the future will be based off of, habits that
you start right now.


SCREWDRIVER



Turn your business around with knowledge


Soak up every single bit of knowledge that you can.
Read blogs that teach you how they got
 where they are today.
 Attend conferences related to your business.
Really do your research and allow knowledge to be
your best friend.

SANDING BLOCK

Smooth out the edges in your business with
great people skills and always have a
smooth image when meeting new people.


Meeting new people is essential to your business.
The first impression you give them will
stick with them for a long time so be sure
to really work on this one.
Practice makes perfect, so the more people you can talk to,
the easier it will become.

MEASURING TAPE


Tracking! What gets tracked gets done!
Have goals that are measurable.


Every week set a new goal for your business 
like 10 new followers, sale 15  bows, etc. 
then track it!
Keep a chart of what is working for you and the 
goals you are reaching. 
It is important to track your success and
 to always have a goal in mind!

LEVEL


Set your level to Excellence in all that you do!


Excellence is a characteristic that you have to 
be sure you develop in your business.
Go out of your way to make people feel special
and like you care.
When you dream, dream big so if you miss,
at least you will land among the stars.

KNEE PADS



Wear to soften the fall...
Failures have to happen before success can come!


No business succeeds immediately.
It is all a learning and growing process that takes 
time and practice.
It takes 10,000 hours to become absolutely 
perfect at something.
Sometimes you will come across people
who won't believe in your dreams,
forget about them. Who says you need their approval anyways???

UTILITY KNIFE

Cut out the excess usage of your time 
and begin to carve out your dream!


Manage your time or someone else will do it for you.
You can't do everything in this world, as much we 
all want to be able to, it is physically and mentally possible.
Sit down every night and plan out your daily to do
list for the next day. Have a plan!!
Really spend time dreaming about were you 
want your business to be in 1, 2, 5, 10 years.
Dreaming is what gets you to where you
want to be!



CROW BAR


Awareness! 
Pry open your mind and be present in the moment!


Evaluate where you stand right now in your business.
Has your business grown even just a little
or has it allowed you to grow?
If yes, then ENJOY it! 
Really focus on the blessings on the blessings your 
business has brought in your life!

SAFETY GLASSES
Wear to protect your vision and help you keep a crystal clear vision of the dream you want to build!


I know we have talked about dreams a lot 
but you can't succeed without them.
I have never of anyone succeeding in something 
that they did not enjoy.
Put your heart in your business and DREAM!
Are you hoping your business will make you 
lots of money? 
What will you do with the money you earn?
Dream in detail and never let the 
end goal leave your mind.

CARPENTER PENCIL

Write your dreams down and OFTEN!
"The faintest ink is greater than the most retentive memory." - Mary Kay Ash

Grab a piece of paper right now!
Got one?
Now right now 3 goals that you have for your business
and 3 goals that you have for your personal life!
Now write and try to connect them to each other.
For example, I want my business to inspire others to become
 their best self through service.
In my personal life I want to start a nonprofit organization.
If my business becomes successful and people 
take to what I have to say,
then it will be much easier for me to start
a nonprofit organization because I will already have the stepping stones
and I will know my nonprofit can benefit others.
Once you have that piece of paper...HANG IT!
Put it somewhere you will look everyday and allow that 
to be the reason you keep pursuing your business.


NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS

Details Matter! Little things make a big difference!


Focus on giving your customers complete 
satisfaction by really making every detail count.
Make your packaging look amazing by 
putting detail into it!
Make everything you do have a purpose
even if you think it doesn't matter.

HARD HAT




Protect your mind! Your Attitude determines your Altitude!


Don't let the negatives in life get you down.
Protect your mind and go into your business not 
caring what others will think of you or what you have
to offer. 
Just know that you have a plan and a purpose
and it will be your positive attitude that makes
you successful!

SAW




Persistency and Consistency always pays off!
A little a day everyday, inch by inch it's a cinch!


Be persistent in your business and do it often.
Persistency is key so people know 
what to except from you 
and they know that you are still
in business.

Get a grip! Hold on tight to your dreams!


Don't ever let those dreams that you set 
in your mind and heart to 
slip away!
Hold and tight and chase them!

Action is the Foundational key to all success!!
-Pablo Picasso


These tools are the keys that you need in
your business to be successful!
You can achieve anything that you set 
in your heart to do!
