Business Owner Resources

Just like the prior Growth Coach business coaching blog, this one will feature 33 of our Twitter messages (Tweets) from http://twitter.com/GrowthCoachCorp.  I selected Tweets (pure text content, no attachments) that I felt could challenge, motivate, educate and benefit business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals.  Again, since a given Tweet can only be 140 characters long, I used quite a few abbreviations as you will see...most are very intuitive.  I hope these brief Growth Coach messages will get you to examine your business and life.  Please read these mini-coaching suggestions and select 2-3 that make sense for you and your business to implement.

1. Business owner, do you always need to BE right or would you rather GET it right? Let go of the ego & be open to better ideas.
2. Entrepreneur, are your vision & goals exciting your soul? If not, refine or redo them...re-engage your heart & soul !!
3. Business owner, do quick, 15-minute "team huddles" with your EMPs 2-3 times a week...will provide CLARITY & EMPOWERMENT.
4. Use this simple sorting process 2 make more $. What actions do you need to STOP doing, START doing, do LESS of, or do MORE of?
5. Blaming the economy for your results? By blaming circumstances or others, you give away all your power to make course corrections.
6. Consider a strategic retreat for your business. Get EMPs rowing in the same direction. Hire a Growth Coach to ensure HONEST discussions.
7. Business owner, your biggest, on-going challenge will be to take full responsibility for your Co's results; no excuses or blaming.
8. Want to be miserable? Keep focusing on what you don't have and what you don't like in your current life/business.
9. Successful entrepreneurs want to be paid based on results. Others want to be paid based on time & effort. Which do u?
10. Business owner, what lesson (gift) did your business try to give you recently? Did you receive it & learn from it?
11. You can either spend time making money or making excuses. Your choice.
12. Entrepreneur, if you aren't taking proper action in key biz areas, ask "what am I afraid of ?" Surface sabotaging fears.
13. Owner, what one change to your biz would yield quantum results? You already know the answer. What are you waiting for?
14. Business owner, if you reward EMPs' good behavior, it will be repeated. BUT, if you ignore bad behavior, it too will be repeated.
15. Entrepreneur, to change your external world, you must 1st change your internal world. Got business coaching?
16. Business owner, are you truly being accountable? R U asking, "What can I do today to dramatically improve my business?"
17. Entrepreneur, worrying is the misuse of your imagination. You are focusing on what you DON'T want to happen. Focus on what you DO want.
18. To maximize your wealth, U must become the least important person to your biz's daily operations.
19. Personal development = wealth development.  Business coaching can help you develop into a more effective and strategic owner. The Growth Coach.
20. A successful entrepreneur s/b in the "quitting process"...quitting lesser roles & tasks as the biz grows. R U ?
21. Entrepreneur, got excuses? They are lies we tell ourselves to avoid responsibility & rationalize poor results = no advancement.
22. Why is business coaching so effective? QUESTIONS! No matter what, your brain can NOT ignore a question. Make sense?
23. Business owner, whatever tasks you dislike and/or stink at doing, either delete, delegate or outsource them. Go w/ your strengths. 
24. The biggest & fittest company doesn't survive, it's the most flexible & adaptable one that survives. R U open to change? 
25. Business owner, U can't really change EMPs, just yourself or your hiring practices. Don't drive yourself nuts !!
26. If an archer misses the mark, he doesn't blame the arrow, bow or wind. He takes responsibility & makes adjustments. Do U?
27. Entrepreneur/business owner, don't think "How can we gain?" but instead "How may we serve?" Givers gain in the long run.
28. Business owner, is it time for you to re-think and adjust your overall business model and/or your revenue model?
29. Entrepreneurs, remember, companies don't improve...it's your people, practices & processes that improve.
30. Follow your passion. The money is hidden there. You just have to dig and work for it.
31. Business owner, accept criticism as a gift. Be willing to unwrap the layers of emotions to get to the profitable feedback.
32. Are you repelling money with your negative beliefs about money? Not sure, ask others for candid feedback.
33. Entrepreneur, the only real economic security you have is between your ears...your brain and mindset. Nurture both!

Again, consider selecting 2-3 of these Growth Coach tweets to implement for your business.
