Owning a business means every day you get up and own it

I know you’ve heard the expression “they” use now. The two word expression that basically means you take responsibility for something. And you take control. And that expression is “Own it.” But, to me, there’s no better time or place to use that expression than when it comes to owning a business. I mean, literally…own it.

Because owning a business shouldn’t be a 24/7 proposition.

And, by that, I mean, when you truly own it, your business won’t run you ragged every waking (and sleeping) hour. What kind of dream would that be? And that’s how you started, right? With a dream?

But then, maybe you were like Bob (not his real name) who built a great business and made his dream come true. Then, trouble reared its ugly head. Because Bob had built a business that required (you could almost say “demanded”) him to be involved in every part of it.

So, Bob said he never even had “time for a fun game of golf” anymore. His business owned him. And I only changed the name. The story is true. Sadly, too true for way too many dream chasers and risk takers.

And there are a couple of simple (even if they’re not easy) tools you can use to avoid Bob’s burdens. Tools that’ll make sure your business won’t crumble without you involved in every detail.

Of course, if you prefer a giant weight around your neck, or stress-filled days, then you absolutely don’t need these tools. And if you’re not happy unless your days are consumed with busy-ness and worry, then, you certainly don’t need my help. Or anybody else’s.

And I can yell, all day, how that’s a recipe for disaster. But you’ll be too busy to even hear me.

So, in that case, forget about golf or family time or travel.

Just get up every morning, hit the ground running, and don’t stop till you drop back into bed every night.

It sounds awful to me. But hey…I’m not you. Maybe that sounds like an awesome life. If so, more power to you. As for me, I enjoy my occasional trips to exotic beaches. And I love being able to spend time with my kids, especially now that they’re older and I don’t know how many more times we’ll all be together in the same place.

But, like I said, that’s me. I certainly don’t wanna project my preferences over on you. But if some time away from your business, without the worry of it falling apart while you’re gone sounds good, then you should get the RondaReady System. It’s pricey for people who don’t use it. But for those who do, it’s as good as free.

And your link to plug into the system is just below.

Stay Ready,
Ronda

Even though there's no such thing as a business IQ score, you can boost yours better.

A couple of years ago I mentioned a “Frazier” episode where he was super focused on his IQ score. And it was a point of competition between him and his brother, Niles. It was so funny (and, in a way, sad) how much importance they placed on scores their mom (who had long since passed away) had possibly given them. If you’re a fan of the Frazier show, you’ll probably know which episode I’m talking about.

And I remember a client of mine who figured she had a low business IQ score.

But, here’s the thing. Like I told her, no one is born with business intelligence. Sure, some people seem more “gifted” when it comes to making deals and building empires. But I can pretty much guarantee they didn’t start out that way. I’ll bet they figured out how they needed to figure out a system.

And here are 3 three’s you can think about when it comes to figuring out your system.

2 of the 3 three’s your system can give you.

  • Focus – so you can achieve those goals you set
  • Freedom – to explore and pursue those goals and even set up more for the future
  • Fun – yeah, when you get your business rolling, it can be a lot of fun

 

Those are the 3 F’s. Here are the 3 C’s…

  • Clarity
  • Confidence, and
  • Control

 

And the third of the 3 three’s is how you build those others in three stages.

I call them stages.

Stage 1 – Envision Your Future:

It’s when you set up your road map or GPS. First you put in your destination address…and then determine the best route. Once you know where you want to go, and the best way to get there, then it’s on to…

Stage 2 –  Develop Your Strategies:

This is when you set up business components like schedule control, relationship building, and performance measurement.  And you’ll love how these strategies help you manage and build your business much more effectively. Then, you go to…

Stage 3 – Build Your Systems:

This is when you build your operations manual to outline your processes and procedures. And that’s how you finish your roadmap. Then, when you consistently follow your roadmap, actions become habits. And habits are what sets those “gifted” business owners apart from the vast majority of other business owners.

Sounds like a lot of work, right?

Well, success in business IS a lot of work. But if it were easy, everybody would be doing it. But they’re not. And you know what would make it even a lot more work? If you had to start from scratch. Like most do.

But you don’t wanna be like “most”. Because most are gonna get discouraged and give up. Because, like I said, they start from scratch. And it takes way more work than they imagined when they came up with their dream idea.

So, you can jump way ahead of the pack by doing one thing they probably won’t do. Plug your business into a proven System that’s already done tons of the work for you.

And you might’ve guessed, I’m partial to my RondaReady System.

Especially because it’s the System that takes you through each of those 3 stages I shared with you. But it serves it all up in much smaller chunks. Reminds me of that funny question and answer: “How do eat a whole elephant?” Answer…

“One bite at a time.”

The RondaReady System has one thing no other business coaching system in the world has. Me! And lots of my clients will tell you that’s no small thing.

Because, you’ll go through every step with videos of me showing you how it works. How to do it. And what it means for you and your business. When you finish, you’ll have all the tools (and the high business IQ score) you need to go as far as your dreams can take you.

But, I always include this caveat. My System (and every other business system or class or course) will do you absolutely no good if you don’t do the work. So, if you think there’s even a slight chance you won’t go through the 3 stages, please save your money. But if you’re a go-getter who wants the best possible shot at success, you won’t end up paying for it.

Your increased sales and profits will. If that sounds good, your link awaits, below.

Stay Ready,

Lifesaver award for 2021 goes to me

If you know me, or if you’ve connected with me for a while, you probably know I like hot weather. Yeah, the cold weather we get, here in Colorado, might be nice for a hot beverage around a cozy fire time. But give me the hot weather any time. So much so, that when I go on vacation, this summer, I’m going where it’s even hotter than here. And it’s mighty hot here today. But I won the Lifesaver Award for 2021. And my prize is a Caribbean trip.

“What?” you ask. “Lifesaver Award? Who hands that out?”

Well, thanks for asking. And I actually gave this award to myself. Because I put in the time to make the time so I could take the time to vacate the routine and hit the beach.

Are you with me so far?

If you have a regular job, your employer probably tells you how many weeks you get for vacation. And you jot it down on your calendar, of course. Because, well…it’s paid time off. You gotta use it or you lose it. Right?

Or are you self-employed? And one of the main reasons you went out on your own was to be able to work WHEN you wanted. And HOW you wanted. Right?

But then, you discovered there’s a whole lot more to building a business than sitting on the beach with a laptop? (which I won’t be doing because I don’t vacay that way) Yeah, maybe you found out you’d have to wear more hats than you originally thought. That’s the time I describe as, “when the dreamy eyes turn into reality eyes.”

But it doesn’t have to happen that way. In fact, the right system can help save you from drowning in a sea of to-do lists and day-to-day duties.

I remember a client who told me her recovery calendar (something I help you set up in the RondaReady System) “has been a lifesaver.” Prior to us working together, she just never sat down and planned time off. So, she never took time off.

Weird how often that happens.

And now, with her recovery calendar, she plans (and schedules) her time off. Then, she knows, ahead of time, when she (and her family) get to relax.

If you’d like to be the next recipient of the Lifesaver Award, it could be totally in your hands. It comes down to choice. Choose to keep doing what you’re doing and see if days off happen the way you’d like. Or choose to start writing it down so you can keep track. It’s up to you.

Not sure? Well, I know that the second choice works. Because I’ll be on a beach with my family real soon. And that happened on purpose. If you’d like something like that, get my RondaReady System. And get to work, soon. So, this time next year, you can tell me about your time off. Grab the System at that link below.

Stay Ready,
Ronda

Lucky brand becomes first quadrillion dollars company

You read a headline like that, “Lucky Brand Becomes First Quadrillion Dollars Business,” and you immediately know it’s true. Right? Wrong! I bet your scam radar kicks in. And you think to yourself, “What is this…National Enquirer or something?” Or at least you should. And I’m sure you know why.

Because there’s no such thing as a lucky brand.

I remember quoting a Spanish Jesuit, Baltasar Gracián, when he said, “It is a great piece of skill to know how to guide your luck even while waiting for it.”

And my guess is that ol’ Balty didn’t really think luck was a feasible strategy. Because successful people don’t sit around waiting for luck. They take chances. And they move. It’s not always forward motion, but it’s always motion.

You might already know that the word, entrepreneur, is French for “risk taker”. And risk takers know it’s not luck that wins the day. It’s action.

Think about Apple or Berkshire Hathaway or Walmart. If you’ve seen their advertising, over the years, you know they certainly don’t rely on luck to stay at the top. They’re moving. Every day. And they’re household names.

Because they understand that action is how you “guide your luck”.

When you’re starting out, it’s a good idea to take some classes to develop and hone your skills and talents. And then you can take those skills and talents out into the business world. Then, stick with it, and one day you could be sharing those skills and talents with a huge audience of devoted clients or customers.

And you might “feel lucky” to have devoted clients and customers, but it was the Action that got you there. Yeah, it doesn’t matter where you are in your business, you won’t get any further without action. Waiting for luck is a sure way to let other action takers jump on your good ideas before you.

But I believe you won’t let that happen. Because I believe you ARE an action taker. Or else you wouldn’t have read this far. Am I right?

Yeah, I bet you’d love to see what’s out there in the business stratosphere. True? Great. Then, I’ve got something special to help you start right away. The RondaReady System can help you set up the processes to help you focus and build your business, and Get Ready for success.

Because it’s designed specifically for action takers. And action takers will never actually pay for the RondaReady System. Their increased sales and profits will. So, what do you say? Are you ready to Get Ready. Then your link is below.

Stay Ready,
Ronda

Business can be fun

I was thinking about how many times clients have told me one particularly special thing. And that’s how much fun they’re having, with their business, since plugging into the RondaReady System. Of course I never get tired of hearing that. Makes me feel really good. Here’s the thing…business CAN be fun.

And here’s how and why business CAN be fun.

It basically boils down to a couple of things. Either you love what you do, or you love how what you do does wonders for your life.

For example, I love what I do.

Because I get to help people get control of their business.

You might not believe how much it thrills me to see them gain confidence and overcome their obstacles. And I spent a lot of years figuring out and setting up a System to do that. But those years gave me tons of experience. And that helped me provide what I think is the tip-top best System for my clients and customers.

Clients and customers tell me the RondaReady System helps get them back in control. They love how they don’t grind out the day-to-day technical functions anymore. And they use their system and operations manual (which I show you how to create) to keep things under control.

So, they get to breathe again. And to dream again. Dreams like taking the business to the next level. And maybe even provide jobs for others. That’s pretty cool when you think about it. Because it means more incomes for more families. And those kinds of dreams are do-able when you’re not drowning IN your business.

So, how about you?

Do you wanna see if business can be fun for you again? And would you like to make it happen sooner rather than later? Well that’s what my RondaReady System does.

But I always wanna give this warning. If you’re not making any money in your business right now, you should probably choose another way. Because the RondaReady System isn’t cheap. And it isn’t for wannabe’s. It’s for go-getters and risk takers. Dreamers who understand how a proven system won’t cost them a dime.

If that’s you, your link awaits you, below. If you’re not there yet, keep reading my emails and blog posts for all the healthy, business building tips and strategies I share. And I do that because I wanna help you Get Ready, and…

Stay Ready,
Ronda

Ambition is a great motivator until it's not

A couple of years ago I shared a sad story about Bill (not his real name), an ambitious client of mine. In fact he set a goal of making $5 million in profits from his business within 10 years. But it all blew up in Bill’s face. And it wasn’t just a matter of skills and ambition. His goal took up all his time. Which meant there was none left for family time.

Business ambition shouldn’t destroy your family.

Bill didn’t make or take the time to set up his systems ahead of time. So that kept him focused IN his business. The more money he made, the more he focused IN his business. And he totally failed at family time. His financial dreams replaced the girl of his dreams. Phone calls and business meetings replaced his kids. So, for all intents and purposes, he married his business and divorced his family.

Of course, that doesn’t happen to every ambitious business owner. Because some of them are lucky enough to have a husband or wife help them go in the same direction. And when they’re ready, willing, and able to work together toward the same goals, they can balance business and family. Their strengths and weaknesses compliment each other. And they build the life of their dreams.

But, sad to say, very few people get there.

Because too many families don’t work well together. And business goals demolish family life.

And that’s why I talk so much about the importance of a system. A system that can free you up from the day-to-day tasks. One that separates you from all those things that can be done by employees or tools in the system. Then, you’re free to work on ideas and relationships. Instead of buying office supplies or making coffee.

I’ve seen this work, over and over, when my clients dive into the RondaReady System. And I’ve seen business owners enjoy so much more time, money, and freedom.

That’s why I say my system is Proven.

It really can help you build a business better and faster. But I also add this disclaimer: The RondaReady System is only for serious business owners and entrepreneurs who will follow the System. Because, those who do won’t pay for it. Sure, they’ll buy it and plug their business into it. But their increased sales and profits will pay for it.

If that sounds like the kind of business owner or entrepreneur you are (or wanna be), your link to the Proven System is below. But if you’re struggling to make ends meet, or your business has no funds to invest in a System, please save your money. Don’t go into debt for this System. And certainly don’t risk your family’s financial security on it.

This is only for the go-getters ready to go where their ambition wants to take ’em.

How about some 5th of July fireworks for you and your ideas?

Well, here we are. 5th of July. Are you excited? Can you feel the electricity in the air? Yeah, I know the fireworks are over for another year. But this isn’t about American Independence. This is about YOURS.

Because the 5th of July spells opportunity, with a capital O!

There’s a line in a recent movie where a dad tells his daughter that she needs to be willing to do what others aren’t willing to do. He’s trying to show her what it takes to be a winner.

If you’re a business owner or entrepreneur or even a wannabe, just take a quick scan of what’s going on all around you today. Lots of people are taking a 3-day weekend. And I’m not saying anything against that. In fact, a 3-day weekend can be awesome. But today, those people aren’t willing to work.

They’re willing to take the day off.

And since so many others are out of work mode today, you and your business can turn that into an advantage. And I’m not saying one day will help you beat your competition, but it can help give you mindset to do that.

Mindset is one of the key ingredients to success. Maybe even THE key ingredient. Because, when you think about it (pun only slightly intended), everything you do starts in your mind.

So, I’ll just leave you with this…because maybe you’d rather take the day off, too. Consider taking at least a little time today, this 5th of July, to do at least one thing for your business. At least one thing others aren’t willing to do. And see what it does for your mind.

Get your mind working in that direction, and the rest of you will follow. And I wouldn’t be surprised if your business followed you, too.

And that’s when the fireworks go off.

By the way, the RondaReady System is a great way to get it all organized, tracked, measured, automated, and even delegated. But it’s only for serious business owners and entrepreneurs who understand they’ll only pay for it if they don’t use it.

If that’s you, your link to faster business growth is below.

Tired of school? And your future is more of the same?

I read an article that talked about how there are plenty of teenagers who choose to get a job, when they graduate, because they’re just plain tired of school. And many of them never liked school in the first place. That’s probably especially true after a year like 2020.

Being tired of school isn’t the only good reason to get a job.

In fact, when you get a job instead of going on to college right away, you can start earning money instead of spending tons of it. Because, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but college is expensive, with a capital E. And for many, if not most, students, paying for college requires taking out a huge loan.

Hmm…that doesn’t sound like a fun path to take after graduating from high school you didn’t even like.

Plus, when you choose a job instead of college, you can start getting some serious real life experience right away. And that’s important because you’re gonna need to know about real life and how economies work, whether you go to school or not.

Also, when you get a job, you can get something you wanted, so much, while you lived in your parents’ house. And that’s the i word. Independence. As I share this info we’re coming up on July 4th. The day America celebrates its Independence from England. If you recently graduated high school, maybe it’s the perfect time to light some fireworks underneath yourself and declare your independence.

And just because you get a job after high school doesn’t mean you stop learning. In fact, if you’re doing real life the right way, you really never stop learning. But when you get a job, you can take some time to decide if more school is even the right thing for you to do.

Yeah, a job gives you time to think better.

When you take time to think better, it’s so much easier to figure out how you want your future to go. And that’s part of the reason I put together RondaReady YOUniversity. To help you focus on YOU. Figure out what YOU want. And what YOU do well. To help you System Think. So, there’s no doubt in your mind.

RondaReady YOUniversity helps you know the right questions to ask yourself. And how to answer them. That’s what System Think is all about. Systematically discover the real YOU. And then figure out how to get real skills for real life so the real YOU can reach your dreams and goals.

If that sounds like a better alternative than jumping into tons of college debt, click or tap the link below. And enroll in RondaReady YOUniversity today. Give yourself the gift of clarity. It’s less than the cost of one month’s rent in a dorm room or apartment.

Dirty little secret you should know about rewards

Here’s A dirty, little secret. If being a business owner was easy, everyone would do it! But they don’t. In fact, a business associate of mine told me about someone he knows who said a certain business model was “too much work.”

And that brings up THE dirty little secret for the easiest way to make money.

Do the work. Reap the rewards.

Pretty complicated. Right? Not.

But the secret is in staying the course. Because the greater rewards are in doing what everyone else isn’t doing. Greater rewards AND greater opportunities. In life AND business. Sure, it’s riskier to put yourself out there. And not everything you try is gonna work out? But is it totally worth it? Absolutely!

Way back when I was in the house building business, in California, there were times our resources were stretched to the max. And there was never a guaranteed ROI (return on investment). But I gotta tell you…it was awesome the first time I held a check for $420,000 for the sale of one of those homes.

Being in business for yourself is exhilarating…and exhausting.

And owning a business can be the easiest way to make money. Because when you serve others well, they’ll pay you for what you know or offer.

But owning a business can be one of the easiest ways to crash and burn, too. Because it takes a clear vision of what you want to do and where you want to go. That’s why I’m always telling my clients and students to write it down so it’s repeatable. Then, you can even hire employees to do the work for you.

All it takes is a system.

Of course, I’m highly fond of my proven system, the RondaReady System. Because it can get you where you wanna go in the shortest time possible. If you chose to be in business for yourself (or you’re seriously considering it), do yourself a favor. And make the most out of it. Either set up a system, or plug into mine.

Because the dirty little secret is…there’s no secret. Just follow the system, stay the course, and prosper. And if that sounds like “too much work,” skip my System. Because it’s too expensive. But if it sounds like what you and your business could use to Get Ready, then I doubt you’ll even pay for it. Your increased sales and profits will.

Let me help you. Click or tap that link, below, right now.

A Finishing School? Or another choice for finishing school?

OK, she said it. Not me. But I’m not gonna tell her to stop. “Ronda is AMAZING! She has helped me to systemize and build my business and feel confident. I am always energized by our work and she is such a good supporter. Working with her is almost like a finishing school for female entrepreneurs. If you don’t have a Ronda, get one!” – Julie B. – Wellness Coach

Well, I don’t have an official finishing school.

And I’m not the director, owner, or manager of a business school.

But I think I can help you save lots of some time AND money. Especially if you want to pursue your dreams sooner rather than later.

Do an online search for a “business school near me.” And I think you’ll discover the top results won’t be all that helpful. I did that kind of search. And the first page results were almost all college and university websites. And the top three Google maps results had nothing to do with business schools.

Now, take a closer look those college links. And you’ll find descriptions like “It can also be an important step toward a bachelor’s degree.” And “Through career-oriented courses, these programs help students build the skills and industry background information to qualify for entry-level jobs in a specialty field.”

Like I’ve asked before…

Entry level jobs?! Seriously?

It can take a ton of your time and money to go to college. And to think it could lead to an entry-level job in a specialty field sounds a little counter intuitive. Right?

Before you think I’m slamming all colleges and what they offer, let me assure you I’m not. But for many entrepreneurial people (like you) it’s just not necessary. Especially since almost anyone has access to almost unlimited online resources. For just about any industry or field of study.

And somewhere in all those almost unlimited resources you’ll find RondaReady YOUniversity. It’s where you actually can get “a Ronda” to help you figure things out and focus on your dreams.

And you can start doing all that for much less than even one month’s rent in a college dorm or apartment.

But it’s not for everybody. So, I suggest you check out the rest of my information about YOUniversity. Click the link, below, and you can see why others have said they think it’s exactly what their kids need.

Stay Ready,
Ronda
