The one word for 2020 is Consistency. We added a tag line, “with balance.” I’m always looking for ways to improve our business, increase ways to improve serving our customers, find time to create, and find a balance with our personal life.
Finding that balance can be hard when you are an entrepreneur. However, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I look back over the past few years, and we have come far. So why did I choose Consistency with balance? It’s something I can always improve on.
“Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.” – Dwayne Johnson

Systems allow you to leverage your and other people’s time and to tweak and form a truly repeatable business strategy. - Hold yourself accountable, with help.
You can leverage the power of a mastermind group. You can utilize the power of a mentor to help structure and grow you past your current standpoint. You may even have the money and ability to hire help, be it a virtual assistant, staff member or other valuable member of your success team.
