In today's call Visha shares:

- How she transitioned from corporate to being her own boss

- Tips and techniques that have enabled her to grow a successful business and have the lifestyle she wants.

- How she is still managing to run her business successfully, even though the restrictions of COVID 19

Why you need to know Visha:

The Cinnamon Room was established by founder and designer Visha Nelson in 2014. Having lived in London, Hong Kong, and New York, the Singapore born capital markets lawyer and mother of two left her corporate life in pursuit of her creative passions to start up her design business when she finally returned to Singapore with her family.

Having found a distinct shortage of unique and well-priced contemporary homewares in Singapore, Visha started sourcing products from all around the world to meet her own needs initially. As she traveled around on her sourcing trips, Visha saw a great opportunity to design her own bespoke range of home accessories and from there, The Cinnamon Room was born.

Visha’s passion for design and strong business sense has taken The Cinnamon Room from strength to strength and the brand was recently awarded the Gold Award for Best Carpet and Rug Store in Singapore in 2019. Having now established the brand in the Singapore market, Visha is responding to global demand and bringing her natural stylish flair and sophisticated eclectic designs worldwide.

Your dream life or dream vision is one conversation away. That conversation is with yourself.

When that doubt shows up in your mind.
Let that be the alarm bell.

The alarm bell that tells you, you are on track.
The alarm bell that tells you, you will make it, if you do not quit.

Persist. Believe. Do not quit.

For social proof, its great to get a testimonial from your clients about your great work. If you can get it on video, even better. To make sure you get an impactful testimonial to be sure to get your client to comment on:

Today I am joined by my wife Jodie Bees to demonstrate how to create a great testimonial.

Name
Where you are from
What you do 
The problem you came to solve
What you learned that solved this problem
The result (Physically, and emotionally, with time frame)
Give a character reference

In this video, we make up an example on the spot about an awesome experience with had Maartje, who is a #Doula from MotherMe in #Amsterdam, Netherlands. 

Ideally, your client WON'T have a baby in their video making noise (unless the baby is relevant to the testimonial, like in this one); and they'll record it with a stable camera (unlike in this video).

Be sure to edit the testimonial to make it succinct and powerful (without losing the intended meaning given by your customer).

Enjoy, and go get those testimonials created for yourself.

When you do a great job with your clients, they’ll want to share with you and when they do... keep a record of it!

Keep a record (electronic or physical) of the great things customers say about you!

This is important for many reasons including

1. It can be a positive reminder to you of the great work you are doing and create on going motivation, especially if you’re going through a harder time in your business.

2. It’s awesome to share with any team members you have so they can feel recognised for their contribution.

3. If it’s a physical display (eg my chiropractor) it’s a great influence (social proof) and reminder to other customers of your ability and skill!

If they only tell you verbally, ask them to put it in writing - into your fb group, as a linked recommendation or testimonial.

With their permission you can share these with others.

To create a powerful and achievable goal there are 3 key elements: WHAT; WHY; HOW.

Today, we cover the ‘How’ and learn:
1. How to create the necessary actions
2. How to prioritise these
3. The power of 80/20 rule
4. Making it REAL by scheduling
5. A power tip to make sure you action what is on your schedule 

There are 3 parts to set a goal that will give you the maximum chance of manifesting the result you desire.

The three key parts are the WHAT, WHY, HOW.

In tip 28 you’ll hear about setting a clear ’WHY’!

The WHY is the emotional fuel!
If you do not have a compelling WHY you are not going to take action and progress.

When the going gets tough, you’ll want to check in on your WHY to keep you going.

Your WHY is strengthened if:
- you get emotionally connected
- there is a higher purpose
- you also know what you LOSE if you don’t achieve this goal.

Now you’re clear on WHAT, and WHY, check out tomorrow’s tip on HOW you can accomplish your number one goal!

Today we learn a powerful principle around goal setting that will help you set and achieve your most important goals.

You’ll learn how to reduce frustration caused by setting goals you don’t achieve

You’ll discover a methodology to make achieving your goals super easy

You’ll understand the little known ‘cat and ball of string’ theory of goal setting 

As your business grows, the work required grows, and there comes a point where you need to STOP doing certain tasks, or you become the bottleneck in the business growth potential.

Before you rush out and buy expensive staff and commit yourself to fixed costs - consider using the “DAD” methodology.

The DAD methodology will help you
- eliminate tasks 
- leverage technology
- help you find low cost and flexible resources to do the work for you 

Listen in to find out HOW you can do this!

Maslow suggested that everything we do as a human is to meet our own needs. 

My mentor and former colleague, Tony Robbins has popularised a version of this theory - calling it 6 Human Needs.

Today’s tip teaches you:
- what are the 6 human needs that drive all behavior 
- how you can use this to increase your happiness, progress, and clarity 
- how you can use this with your team and customers and loved ones!

Today we have the founder of #MinnasDream and creator of Caulizza Pizza (cauliflower pizza bases)

Minna shares a life Changing Business tip that at aged 26, has enabled her ‘start-up’ business to attract a dream team, investors and significant interest from national retailers.

Action:
Fall in love with your customer and meeting their needs: not your solution. 
When was the last time you asked your customer ‘what else do they need?’ Or ‘How can you serve them better?’

Whatever you type into google, google finds for you. If you look for negativity, you’ll find it; if you look for positivity, you’ll find it.

Your brain is the same. What you ask of it, it delivers.

Therefore, it’s critically important to pick the right question to ask!

If you ask a doubtful question like:
‘Am I good enough?’
Or negatively framed:
‘Why does bad stuff always happen to me?’

Your brain will find the answer.

Instead, get clear on your outcome and ask a question that finds you supportive answers 

Eg
What skills do I have that will make this a success?
Or
What are all of the good things that happen to me?

Action:
Change your habitual questions and notice how you feel differently and perform differently.

Your network is your net-worth - so get along to a networking meeting!

Where can you find a place to network?
- go where your target group is!
- organized groups eg BNI, Internations.org
- find groups online eg meetup.com

How to network:
- Smile & be open
- Be interested and learn - LISTEN!
- Introduce others with useful introductions
- Bring a friend and say complimentary things about each other
- Be a collector of cards
- Share, don’t sell
- Follow up afterward to build the relationship & send relevant articles/connections
