Small businesses with a BIG impact
The following 5 attitudes have worked for me.
Actually I have these posted above my desk as to not to forget them.
No voodoo, no magic. Just follow through. Every month, every week, every day.
5 attitudes 4 success:
No magic bullet. No voodoo. Do or do not, there is not try…
As a small business looking to make an impact 💥 you want to build bridges🌉.
And I mean build bridges like…all the time. This is related to the importance of partnering up I talked about a while back.
Don´t worry too much about where they lead to. Nobody says you have to cross them…
Bridges give you options♦️♠️♥️♣️. Bridges allow for 2-way traffic.
The building itself is a process that enriches you.
When you build, you learn. When you build together, you learn exponentially more.
If you wonder if aside from business there is a political angle to my statement. Rest assured, there absolutely is😎.
Build bridges, not walls.* (Dr. Martin Luther King)
*and if the wall is built, dig a tunnel while you prepare to tear it down
Careful when setting your goals 🎯.
It will determine not only if you achieve them but also what happens when you do…
Finite goals ⎸
have a map or plan 🗺 and you can measure ⓵⓶⓷ progress. But they often lead you into depression 👎🏼 right after… The abyss. What now?
Infinite goals ∞
require a compass ⦬ and you can only feel ☺️ progress. They never end ∞ and lead to fulfillment 🙌🏽 every step along the way. 🛣

Be well, be you.
“Are you ready?”
A question that creates sleepless nights for some, injects a dose of self-doubt for others and triggers a firm YES for a few.
When discussing this with my friend, “crazy” Tony Decavele from award-winning 🏆 company Zumi* last week we listed the possible answers for you.
Pick an answer, you are bound to be right…
✌🏼 Be well, be you.
And if Belgium 🇧🇪 does not win the World Cup 🏆 it will be because the world was not ready…😂

In my post a few days ago I mentioned the importance of working with growth partners and the value + meta-value they bring. Todays spotlight is on Control4.
We have been growing the business together with Control4 now for over 8 years. Together we grew every single year.
A quick look at Control4 according to the 3 criteria for growth partners I mentioned:
Growth: 🚀
Innovation: 👩🏼🔬
Loyalty: 🙏🏻
As continue to shape and build the future we will find great things ahead of us. The past and present have taught us that much so far.
Be well, be you. And keep looking for growth partners 🚀🤝👩🏼🔬 if you want to create impact as a small business.
