Lisa Mininni is a best-selling author and an expert speaker sought out by small business entrepreneurs, top corporations and organizations wanting to better understand the seismic shift that's taking place today in the way businesses are launched and how they are run. Traditional business models, fueled by outdated notions of consumer behavior, are irretrievably broken. Further, many struggles to grow small businesses are a direct result of outdated belief systems.

Fortunately, a movement is underway…a movement toward a more systems thinking – one based in looking at how the entire business is interconnected. This shift is nothing short of a revolution. Lisa travels worldwide teaching businesses and entrepreneurs to shift their beliefs and alter how they attract clients so they get the edge in the marketplace of today. Lisa is creator of The Entrepreneurial Edge SystemTM, an interactive program she teaches to small business owners to help fill their practice in record time.

Many business professionals fail miserably at converting a promising lead into a client. Why? Could it be their sales process? Yes. Could it be because they didn’t pre-qualify the prospect? Yes. Could it be because they haven’t asked enough questions before pitching their products or services? Yes. And, there’s something few people ever consider. They operate from their very own wiring which often gets in the way.

Picture this: You just made the decision to add speaking to your marketing mix so you get in front of your ideal prospects. You land your first gig. You are thrilled because you have your first real shot at getting in front of a room filled with your ideal prospects. So, you work for hours getting your speech down cold. You spend a lot of effort working out your presentation. You deliver your speech and are quite pleased with your presentation. You’re relieved to finish your talk, the audience claps, and some people take your card. Then you wait. And wait. And wait.

Being a leader isn’t always easy. A big part of successfully growing your business depends on motivating others in the most optimal way. Whether you have a team of employees, are coaching others, or are leading a committee, it can be a mystery on the best ways to inspire others to get the job done. Many leaders think the best way to motivate is to put pressure on others. The major mistake is that putting pressure on others works only a part of the time.

Approximately 80 percent of people never set goals for themselves. Even more surprising, of the 20 percent of the population that does set goals, roughly 70 percent fail to achieve the goals they have set for themselves. Yet, most business professionals claim to understand the importance of goal setting. It may not be surprising to you that even when you do set goals, you may stop at some point during the year from reviewing them. You might start off the year with an intention to meet them, but find yourself at the end of the year falling short.

When building your business, the fastest way to grow it is to focus your energy on activities that attract clients and bring in cash flow.

I don't know about you, but shopping is not on my list of enjoyable past times. I think I'm one of only a few women on this planet who actually does not like to shop. When I do shop, I go in, get what I need, and get out. Apparently, when it comes to shopping during the holidays, it's stressful for a lot of people! According to a new survey of over 3,000 people conducted by MemoriseThis.com, 86% of us say they find buying presents difficult and 65% find Christmas shopping a stressful experience.

At Excellerate Success Institute, my clients use their own Business Blueprint Wizard complete with identified metrics to measure their successes throughout the year.

When building your business, the fastest way to leverage it is through systems. If you don’t have systems in place, you’ll also miss out on creating maximum profitability for your business. When my students first work with me, they think they have their accounting system in place because they have Quickbooks, an Accountant or a CPA. Yet,this is only part of managing your profitability. It’s important to manage the very systems you put in place to run your business efficiently. Without ways to manage them, you are letting money slip through your fingers.

Have you ever wondered why you perform better with some work activities and yet procrastinate on others? When your business is rapidly growing, it can be challenging to keep yourself and even your team consistently motivated. Generic organizing techniques might work for a while, but they are often ineffective in the long run.

Clients are curious about how I manage to get so much done. They ask how I manage my continuously growing business, travel to speak at association summits and free time for the important people in my life. Before you assume I have a magic wand in my back pocket, I have a number of unanswered emails in my mailbox and, every so often, a few things fall through the cracks.

When your business starts to grow beyond start up and into second stage, you’ll need to expand your capacity to take on more. If you’re thinking how that can be possible when your day is already overfilled, then something needs to change. If you’re constantly delaying decisions or putting off implementing projects, your business will be seeing its own demise rather than dollar signs. The next time you’re delaying decisions, consider asking yourself these questions: What’s the strategy?

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Lisa Mininni

Quotes from my book, Me, Myself, and Why? The Secrets to Navigating Change:

"Change can happen in an instant. Transformation occurs over time."

"Comfortably uncomfortable is the place you are in when you seemingly take action but the action does not produce results you can see. It's that place where you have faith that there is a reason for you to be in the place at that moment."

"Faith gives you the courage, calmness and confidence to reveal the authentic you."

"We make choices every day about what will inspire us and what we will allow to get us down."
