With Success Comes Great Responsibilities By Marcia Zidle

What does it take for women entrepreneurs to build a successful business? Is there life after you achieved your dream?  How can you use your energy and passion in other ways?  Is one way helping others with what you have learned?

My guest on this episode of The Business Edge is Sonu Ratra, Co-Founder of Akraya an IT staffing and consulting company, who shares her insights into how she built a winning culture and a Best Places to Work award. An entrepreneur with a charitable heart and a never-say-die spirit, Sonu is passionate about giving back to society. She believes that with success comes even bigger responsibilities to your people, to your community and to the environment. She has been an avid supporter for women’s empowerment and is currently spearheading an initiative called “Women Back to Work,” a workforce re-entry program.

Listen to This Podcast and Learn
* How her deep sense of commitment and social responsibility lead her to where she is today
* Why it’s critical to continually reinvent yourself and business plan to survive in the changing marketplace.
* The important of hiring the right talent from the start, rather than warm bodies, to carry your vision forward.  
* How she turned a problem – talented women who’ve been out of work for a period of time – into a new venture.
* Why culture is key and how she fosters trust, collaboration and problem solving with her people and stakeholders.

Sonu’s Success Tip: Banish Self Doubt
This is one of the biggest problems for women. When we hear negative stuff, we start questioning ourselves. The remedy is to tap into your wisdom and experience. What are they telling you? Believe in your inner voice. This will lead to deep, deep self-confidence.

What Separates Entrepreneurs Who Thrive From Those Who Crumble? By Marcia Zidle

Exhilarating, humbling, challenging, inspiring, mind-numbing, nerve -racking, life changing, exasperating, exhausting, empowering, maddening, uplifting and enlivening. That, in the words of a seasoned expert, describes the daily reality of being an entrepreneur. Members of a special breed, entrepreneurs possess vision, courage, creativity, drive, spirit and grit. So why do about 50% of entrepreneurial ventures fail during their first year in business?

It’s Not Their Business Plan or Funding or Products..It’s YOU!
My guest on this episode of The Business Edge is Michael Dermer author of The Lonely Entrepreneur – who shared his insights that not only saved his own company, but has made the difference between success and failure for hundreds of struggling start-ups. “It’s how we manage the struggle of being the entrepreneur,” he attests, based on his harrowing experience who watched the business he built for 10 years almost get destroyed in 10 days by the 2008 financial crisis. From this experience he developed a unique method on how to thrive under the pressure, chaos and burden of being the entrepreneur.

Listen to This Podcast and Learn
* The seven deadly business sins we must avoid at all costs.
* How the entrepreneur’s perspective can stunt progress or propel to victory
* What’s the “Brutal Truth “and the “Four P’s? Why they’re foundational concepts to success.
* Why it’s not your IQ but your emotional intelligence (EQ) which is the secret sauce to be a winner
* How to negotiate from a position of strength rather than weakness – create leverage when you don’t have much.

The key takeaway: Manage the “struggle” and you’ll be successful All entrepreneurs have basically the same problems – lack of money, resources, time, etc. It’s the ones that can look at things from a different perspective – who can rein the the Four P’s – that will thrive under pressure. It’s believing in yourself, acknowledging your gaps and what you need to run the business instead of feeling like’ it’s running you.

A Year on Performance and Mindset! by Luis Vicente Garcia

IMG_1004

What do you think if you hear about a year on Performance and Mindset? For me it has been a celebration of both Entrepreneurial Magic and Personal Success!

Join me as we celebrate a full year with or radio show ‘Performing at Your Best: Mindset Evolution with Luis Vicente Garcia’. We had an incredible year filled with amazing concepts, new themes, inspiring notes and fabulous interviews: Joan Detz, Margaret Maclay, Steve Olds, Marc Koehler, Bob Burg, Hans Trupp, Michelle Poler, you name it. We talked about business ideas and fear; emotional intelligence and franchises; business expertise alongside purpose and vision; and we talked about the Sustainable Development Goals issued by the United Nations. We focused on improving and changing your mindset in order to increase your performance.

Join me in this one hour show as we review our first year on Performance and Mindset.

When we talk about Business or entrepreneurial success, we might not be really sure what it is or how to define it; and this will prove to be critical. You need to know where you are today and where you are going; then, figure out your plan to get there.

Whether you have been in business for years or you are a start-up, things look harder and more difficult than what you originally thought, take more time and might have a bigger cost than planned. Your three main resources: time, team and money will be tested over and over again. What you need to do here is to understand what makes you apart, what is important for you and your company and how can you start redirecting some of the approaches and ideas you have been using in the past.

This actually is the number one critical issue for all people and companies that do need to change: adapt and be flexible. This implies realizing the need to adapt to the changing business environments, looking at the trends in the market and your industry, while improving some of the important areas (if not all) in your company.

When you do it, something starts to happen and suddenly there is a better flow of energy, new ideas start to flourish, a more dynamic team takes action, goals are reached and visions are aligned. In all, you, your staff, team members and your company start talking about success and what it would mean to be successful (and yes we know we all measure Success in a different way).

Over the course of the year from June 2015 to May 2016 we had an incredible team that helped us reach thousands of listeners form all over the world; we invited amazing guests, talked about important business issues and development tools. And most importantly, we talked about you, your teams, your companies and how you can improve your performance while changing your mindset.

In this hour-long show we will review the best highlights from an amazing year so please join us as we review our first year on Performance and Mindset!

The Business Interpretation of Performance: Training Intent – “The MAGIC of the Martial Arts of Business” by Luis Vicente Garcia

Luis Vicente Garcia on Keys to Manageial Success

When we go out to work or live our own lives, we must decide how we are going to do it. When we continue to learn and then implement the knowledge we have accumulated and the abilities we have developed, we need to understand that how we do one thing is how we will do everything we do. At the end, it is all about performance.

Over the years we acquire new knowledge that we must apply; have experiences that we learn from; meet people and start developing a network whom we influence and who we learn from. These factors all combine into allowing us to be who we are today, at a personal and professional level.

It is here where Training, Performance and Focus intersect and define how we do all that we do, simple or complex. It determines our ability to perform in an excellent manner, consistently. Now we must apply the learning and experiences we get from life, and the keys we obtain from sports and martial arts.

Join me as we take the Training Intent of Martial Arts and give it an entrepreneurial meaning, so we can all benefit in our businesses.

There are many definitions on business success and in this program we will be discussing some ideas that will allow you to understand some of the Key Elements to Entrepreneurial Success.
