Years ago, a mentor did an exercise with me where he asked me: “How do you make your clients heroic?” We discussed the many ways that I was seeking to fulfill that mission. He asked me to pull out a crisp sheet of paper and draw a heart on the right side of the paper. After hours of discussion, the three words that rang true for that mission: Enjoy Life Daily. They fit neatly inside the heart on the right side of the page. (Fun fact: Years later, I still have the sheet of paper.)

That heart and those words are symbolic of the heart I choose to support my entrepreneurial clients within their businesses. It’s a great daily reminder I have to share with entrepreneurs (and myself).

How much excess capacity exists in current commercial buildings? Most commercial buildings sit vacant for 12 hours out of the working day until the next day begins and 24 hours a day on weekends. If we are collectively reinventing what the new world looks like, we don’t have to use old models that no longer serve the greater good. The co-working model has been gaining ground with entrepreneurs for years. That same entrepreneurial thinking can guide the way for new spaces to optimize the space they need. As a result, we can streamline and maximize the buildings that exist.

Strategy work (for marketing, branding, selling, product development, etc.) takes deep concentration. There is significant research that states it typically takes 20-30 minutes to recover from each distraction. Each ding or ring on your phone causes you to lose concentration. Switching your brain, from strategy work to a sales call, to a financial question, back to strategy requires acclimation time. Too often, I hear entrepreneurs end their day saying “I know I worked all day and yet I’m not quite sure what I did.” Create boundaries to prioritize your day and consistently point the business needle towards growth goals.

Spending hours making a design look right, from the fonts to the colors and images, can take unnecessary time from your business. The key to improving productivity is to invest the time to document, before delegating. Interestingly, all design starts with descriptions. Documenting the main attributes of your brand will pay “delegation dividends” in the future when you easily delegate to a designer. They will love you for it and you will get items that represent your brand. Many business owners give no clear documentation or direction when delegating. This is where many owners struggle. If you haven’t clarified and documented it yourself, the designer will have a difficult time with what it’s supposed to look like. After documenting my brand, I was able to delegate to a designer and she stepped into her design gifts. She and I have been working wonderfully together for over 4 years.

Truly Listen and Understand. Do deep research by listening and understanding what your ideal customer needs. Strategically map out the entire buyer’s experience so your upsell process builds on the benefits of the free trial. By first connecting and appreciating your ideal customer’s needs, the wrong customers say “no” and your ideal customers say “yes.” By precisely mapping out the upsell experience your business operates much more efficiently because the “wrong” customers aren’t challenging and stressing your company systems. As a result, you and your team can focus on refining the upsell process to drive even more ideal customers. Doing the strategic work up front by listening, understanding and mapping creates more upsells.

Create “rules for tools.” With so many remote tools ranging from Teamwork to Dropbox to Google Suite; identifying how you and your team will utilize them is hypercritical in today’s remote environment. Setting a specific naming structure will help manage and ensure items are consistently shared to eliminate confusion and/or redundancy.

How Do You Make Your Clients Heroic? Get everything you say about your company “out of your head” by taking the time to write your answers on paper (or a whiteboard) before it eventually ends up in a master company document.

Go back to your roots. After a lengthy discussion, with a friend about my company. I was reminded of a blog I started in 2008… the blog page was called “Enjoy Life Daily.” It aligned me to my deeper why, before I even considered a business.

Share Deeper Emotional Issues. Invite them to develop a strong support system and communicate their true feelings. I regularly participate in a group where we share deeper emotional issues. In 2020, I communicated the feeling of “loneliness” I experienced during the pandemic. I expressed and dealt with it, and was able to eventually thrive. An effective support team is there for the ups and downs of life, we all experience.

I post it on Terkel and read through my answer one more time to fine-tune before clicking submit. I carve out time (sometimes as much as 45 minutes per question) and that investment has yielded over 30 articles published in under a year. I highly recommend investing the time in Terkel, which can expose you to different audiences highlighting your expertise. It’s worth it. Simply start and be consistent.

One small business I support is Infusion Coffee & Tea. Prior to COVID, on the first Friday of each month, I led the Conscious Capitalism – Arizona Chapter “Coffee Chats” in Tempe. When the pandemic hit, and we halted the chat, I spent the majority of 2020 inside of my home. When things started opening again, I returned to Infusion Coffee.

My business is the culmination of the beautiful dance of my strengths combined with my struggles I have overcome. I share lessons learned, imperfections along with strategies that have guided me along the way, so clients accomplish more in less time.

I reconnected back to a love that I had for the arts when I was a child. I began painting which offered me a wonderfully creative outlet, that is also guiding me on my daily structured business side. I found a wonderful way to share my love for abstract art, combined with story sharing and organization.

I plan to be spontaneous…I know, I know it’s an oxymoron. The real goal is to explore more. By planning out my days and weeks, I will ‘plan’ more opportunities for exploration aka ‘spontaneity.’ This resolution aligns with the freedom I sought as an entrepreneur. With more exploration, I can grow outside much of the “comfort zone” of my home that I have lived in for much of 2020.

Practice using your “presence muscle” by exercising it regularly through meditation.  Visualize meditation as a snow globe where one simply lets the “snow come to rest.”  A consistent meditative practice in the morning and/or evening where you take deep, calm breaths, will allow you to experience yourself, and your reactions in the moment during those situations that arise throughout your day. As a result, you can meet those situations with calm presence and dissolve them like snow. Long before any athlete scores the game-winning shot, they practice that shot over and over again. Practicing presence day after day will help you win in more moments inside your day.

At the start of the company, so many items require clarification from the vision, the messaging, the product, pricing, and delivery. It can feel like every company decision is dependent on each other and ultimately the CEO. To prioritize, clarify your ideal customer persona(s), define your sales messaging, and package your product. By focusing on those business priorities, you will invest the right time to drive and grow your business.

Create Daily Business Intentions. Too often, entrepreneurs try to do ‘everything’ in their business each day. ‘Everything’ can mean sales, marketing, product development, finance, operations…the list can go on and on. Many entrepreneurs run themselves from one meeting to the next to the next. At the end of a long day, sometimes it feels like they didn’t accomplish anything that day. Entrepreneurs can see clear mile marketers towards their goals by intentionally focusing on specific business aspects on specific days. I call it “Category Days.” As a result, they feel more accomplished and have a deeper sense of having completed something each day.

Silence your phone and put it in another room so you aren’t tempted to check it. Your brain is being hi-jacked with every beep, chirp, or buzz of your phone. Yes, your attention and awareness are being stolen from the present moment each time you check for the next message. Deep work requires attention and focus. Blocking off time helps you discover deeper issues to “surface-level problems.” This results in developing long term sustainable solutions.

Ray Delmuro started Refresh in 2008 with a mission to rescue wine bottles and turn them into drinking glasses. I have watched him over the years grow from his first industrial space to introduce his 10 million bottle rescue mission; all while creating partnerships with well known brands with style, function and purpose.

Years ago, after listening to many prospects inside of a specific industry, I heard a very consistent phrase, month after month. It didn’t matter if I was talking to someone in Seattle, or Pennsylvania, or New Mexico… this consistent phrase was said the same way across the various roles, inside this specific industry. An email campaign began with that consistent phrase reframed as a question in the subject line. As a result, the long tail sales cycle time went from 9 months to a little over 2 months.
