KEY TAKEAWAYS

• To give your children a head start in life get them into goal setting as soon as possible. Doug explains how.

• When you set and review your goals, you are feeding your subconscious. Reminding it what to focus on, so you work towards them virtually on autopilot.

• Write your goals down as if you have achieved them e.g. I am a good timekeeper. Start with 10 and write them down daily.

• Start with small goals to build confidence in your abilities.

• Your mindset is vital.

• Business owners need to get buy-in from their teams to achieve their goals.

• Reduce resistance by understanding what your team member´s priorities and goals are e.g. planning the work week, so people get more family time.

• Monitor progress effectively.

• Anticipate what resources are needed to achieve the goal ahead of time and act to fill those gaps before progress stalls.

• Use automation to improve workflow and avoid the frustration and negativity that delays generate.

• Put family time first and keep the channels of communication open.

• Often, people who feel trapped are cash-poor. Doug explains how to reverse this situation and free yourself.
