Lisa Mininni is a best-selling author and an expert speaker sought out by small business entrepreneurs, top corporations and organizations wanting to better understand the seismic shift that's taking place today in the way businesses are launched and how they are run. Traditional business models, fueled by outdated notions of consumer behavior, are irretrievably broken. Further, many struggles to grow small businesses are a direct result of outdated belief systems.

Fortunately, a movement is underway…a movement toward a more systems thinking – one based in looking at how the entire business is interconnected. This shift is nothing short of a revolution. Lisa travels worldwide teaching businesses and entrepreneurs to shift their beliefs and alter how they attract clients so they get the edge in the marketplace of today. Lisa is creator of The Entrepreneurial Edge SystemTM, an interactive program she teaches to small business owners to help fill their practice in record time.

Edmund Hillary said, “It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.” It’s true. We think it is the mountain that must be conquered but it is what’s happening on the inside that paves the way. Many people doubt that they can create something really significant in this world. Self-limiting thoughts creep in and they wonder if they have what it takes or question if they are worthy of it. When you’re stepping into your greater greatness, a lot of emotions surface, like worry, doubt, blame, impatience, pessimism. The list goes on.

For many years, I found it difficult to live in the moment. I had all of this energy frequently thinking about the next step and moving through each moment. For high-achieving entrepreneurs, being in the moment can be elusive. Throughout the years, I’ve found the following strategies helpful: 1. Eliminate Distractions. Finding yourself with your family yet still connected to your cell phone? Shut it off completely and enjoy the conversation. Savor each moment asking questions and using it as an opportunity to find out more about the other person and their interests.

If you have worked harder for someone else than you have in your own business, you’re not alone. In my recent Entrepreneurial Edge System 3-Day Intensive, this self-limiting habit seemed to be a popular pattern. It shows up by procrastinating, justifying a delay (it can always be done tomorrow), and not following up with a sense of urgency. So how do you build unstoppable momentum when you just feel like being lazy? There are two keys critical to building unstoppable momentum:

Being a leader isn’t always easy. A big part of successfully growing your business depends on motivating others in the most optimal way. Whether you have a team of employees, are coaching others, or are leading a committee, it can be a mystery on the best ways to inspire others to get the job done. Many leaders think the best way to motivate is to put pressure on others. The major mistake is that putting pressure on others works only a part of the time.

When you add speaking to your Marketing MixTM, it catapults you into the one-to-many conversation expanding your level of influence. There are many advantages to speaking, too. As a Speaker, you: • Leverage your business by serving many more people in your area of genius. • Promote your business through targeted venues. • Add revenue streams by either being paid for speaking or selling other products and services in the back of the room once you’re done speaking.

Have you ever wondered why you perform better with some work activities and yet procrastinate on others? When your business is rapidly growing, it can be challenging to keep yourself and even your team consistently motivated. Generic organizing techniques might work for a while, but they are often ineffective in the long run.

When you adopt a systems mindset, you begin to look at how one area of your business affects the other areas simultaneously. So what’s this systems mindset and how does it work, you ask? According to the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook, a systems thinker “knows how systems fit into the larger contents of day-to-day life, how they behave, and how to manage them.” “Systems thinking is a unique perspective on reality – a perspective that sharpens our awareness of wholes and how the parts within those wholes interrelate.”

The other day, I was looking all over the house for my brand new pair of shoes. I checked the usual places, searched the unusual places, and even rummaged through unexpected places. Eventually, I found them unde eath a chair where they lay waiting for me to find them again. Of course, if I would have put them where they belonged…well, you know the rest.

It’s not only the time of year to plant flowers and spruce up your outdoor living space, it’s also the half-way mark for businesses. It’s the perfect point to assess whether or not your plan is working and make any course corrections. As the saying goes, you can’t manage what you don’t measure.

Information technology has changed the way the world conducts business. A letter that once took weeks to get from Point A to Point B is now delivered instantly with a mere push of a button. Automation has also made it possible for small businesses to streamline their processes, get a handle on their overhead, and improve their profitability. While automation can be a time saver and convenience maker, don’t underestimate the power of personal touch. Isn’t it nice to know there is a real human being behind the email or recorded phone message?

Isn’t it interesting that we know each individual has a different style of communicating and doing things, but many people never really realize why that is? Yet, when we realize how individuals behave, we can be more effective in providing information the way the other person wants to receive it, often helping in communication, sales, and providing solutions.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Lisa Mininni

Quotes from my book, Me, Myself, and Why? The Secrets to Navigating Change:

"Change can happen in an instant. Transformation occurs over time."

"Comfortably uncomfortable is the place you are in when you seemingly take action but the action does not produce results you can see. It's that place where you have faith that there is a reason for you to be in the place at that moment."

"Faith gives you the courage, calmness and confidence to reveal the authentic you."

"We make choices every day about what will inspire us and what we will allow to get us down."
