Groundhog Day and how to avoid it
Do you remember the movie with Bill Murray where he wakes up every day to the sound of Sonny & Cher singing “I’ve got you babe”?
He’s stuck in the same day and lives it over and over again.
Some businesses are like that where one year is very like the last one.
Does that sound familiar to you?
If I’m honest with you, I have experienced that over the years, setting new goals to grow sales and profits, only to finish the year with no change in results..
Then at the start of the next year, it was repeated setting ambitious goals to grow sales only to finish that year with similar results.
Maybe you can relate to this.
And though it’s painful to say this, many of those years for me were a photocopy of the previous one.
Doing the same old things the same way.
But thankfully for me that’s all changed.
I have been working on making changes in recent years and this was accelerated for me in the last year.

Sometimes when I set a goal to do something in 6 months time, they challenge me to do it in 3 months.
I invest a considerable amount of money every month but that investment is paying off in multiples.
This is my Mastermind group and it’s difficult to put into words the massive affect it’s had on my business and in my life.
As well as being joined one, I am currently running 3 Mastermind groups and about to set up a 4th one.
