Main character energy 

It’s time to be the main character in your story. Step into the limelight and claim it for yourself and your business 

I often talk about your team but it is also important that YOU are able to lead them well.  

This means: 

  • Looking after your own physical and mental health 
  • Having a clear direction 
  • Inspiring your team 
  • Providing yourself with the tools and skills that you need to execute your plan 
  • Promoting yourself as the face of your business 

I’ve written all sorts of articles on how you can improve yourself in all these areas so you can either search the website for these, read my books, or invest some of your hard-earned cash and sign up for some business coaching to help you with any of these. (‘Do nothing’ is also a very comfortable option)

Do you invest in yourself?

As I write this I’m halfway through a two day coaching course which is really making me focus. I did my first coaching qualification about 10 years ago but never really used it until I set up Hudson Business Advice four years ago to coach accountants, bookkeepers and other business owners. In that ten year period I’ve forgotten a lot of what I already learned as well as picking up some sloppy habits.

I’m always very diligent about keeping my accountancy and tax knowledge up to date as that is a requirement of remaining a member of ICAEW. I also spend a lot of time perfecting my speaking as that is a newer skill for me and there’s plenty of room for improvement. I also go on business courses and read a lot around the subject so that I can improve my own business and also add expertise to my experience when helping other business owners.

I believe in continuous improvement of myself, my business, and the services that I offer. How much time and money do you invest in yourself?
