What do you consider to be a lot of money? What level of decision maker are you comfortable talking to? How do you view your worth in the world? These are important questions to ask yourself says Merit Khan, CEO of SELLect Sales Development. For most of us it's hard to even imagine ourselves being as successful as other entrepreneurs in the same space simply because we've never had that kind of success and don't personally know anyone who has been there. The biggest problem w

Business development is more important that your offer says Merit Khan, CEO of SELLect Sales Development. It's one thing to come up with a great product or service. It's another whole thing to get it into the hands of paying customers. Both are important, but the latter is of greatest importance for the sustainability of your business. As early entrepreneurs we have to become marketers first. Learn everything you can about how to market your product or service. Trial and err

Begin a conscious journey of MASTERY. Forget what should have happened by now! Spending all your energy being critical of the position you are in today isn't going to change anything. It's only going to drain you emotionally, mentally, and physically of all the energy that you could be using to drive your life in the right direction. So, you wanted to be great by now, and it hasn't happened the way you pictured it??? It's natural human instinct to desire to be extraordinary

"BE YOURSELF. As simple as this sounds, it's one of the hardest things to do". I love this quote from a JayZ masterclass. The pressure to succeed can make us all clones. I 💯got what JayZ was saying. In JayZ's world there are many rappers (known and unknown), it's easy to mimic what's working for other people for a quick win, but you lose your own flavour or sound in the process. Especially in the early days when you are discovering your own sound, your message, what impact y

We all know what we need to do, and even more importantly what we are capable of doing. We just need to muster up the courage to do it! I know it's frightening to walk down an unfamiliar path 🤚🏾(Been there!) You don't know if it will work out. What if it doesn't work out and you look like a total fool? What if you think it's God sending you and it's not? What if it's just a random thought and not a vision? Who lives their dreams anyway? We all have these racing thoughts t

Rewire your thinking around failure. The fear of failure is a very real force that robs many of their destiny. This is not going to be us! Any time you try something new, expect that you might fail. Not because you are dull or incompetent; but because this is something you've never done before. It's just that simple! Logic escapes us when we decide to sit in our feelings. Picasso wasn't painting famous artwork the first time he held a paint brush. Thomas Edison wasn't making

What is your gift? When do you experience your flow state? What's your "IT FACTOR"? (Let me know in the comments section. ) Part of the modern world is using education to open doors. There's nothing wrong with that, and for some people their education is in line with their area of gifting. I was interviewing Mark Johnson, the founder of Student Loans RX, and he made a bold statement about operating in ones area of gifting. Mark said, when you don't know your gift(s) you can e

Being consistent = momentum. This is true with anything. If you exercise one day and then one day again two months later, don't keep checking your scale. Nothing's changed! (I've done this too 🤚🏾 lol). Build up your momentum. Entrepreneurship is hard work but.... If you can do it for 6 months, then you just proved you can do it for a year (another 6 months). If you can do it for 1 year, then you just proved you have what it takes to get to year 2. If you can do it for 2 y

You become a success before you become successful. Process matters. There will be times when it looks like nothing is happening. Something is always happening if you're working on it. You are becoming the leader that you need to be in the process. The vision or dream you have is too big for the person you are today. Embrace the process of becoming. Keep going. Success is being in alignment with God's will for your life. It will take everyone else a minute to catch up to the f

The right environment will change your life. Get around some people who are doing things. People with the right values and right energy. Don't worry that you are not yet at their level. Express your admiration, be honest, and they will be flattered. People tend to be open when you show up with authenticity. If you do nothing else this week, find the people who have what you know you need to shift things for you. You know where you are struggling. No-one needs to tell you tha

Fishing for some business? Do you have the right strategy for the target market you are after? Here's a few things to think about: ✅Right location: Are you where your target customer/audience hangs out? Another way to think of this: Who has your audience? Study what they're doing to identify which gaps they are leaving. What are they not catering for? Can you overdeliver in value to this gap? ✅Right bait: Do you have something to offer your potential client that they will wan

There are some things you just need to do yourself if you want them done right. You know what you're missing. Work on it. It's not a life sentence unless you make it one. ❓Not good at sales. Develop your sales skills. Seek out information and apply it. ❓Not good at financials. Develop your financial skills. Take a class. Ask your accountant friend to teach you some basics. Seek our information and apply it. ❓Don't have anyone to show you the ropes. Start with biographies of p
