What coloured day are you having? (PART 2)

May 29, 2009

finish postToday we’re talking about the SKY BLUE day. Have you heard of the term ‘the sky is the limit’ Well that’s how you’re meant to feel on a sky blue day.

This is the day when you’re working on bringing income into your business. It should be one of the most exciting things that you do. Lead generation, lead conversion and then sales fulfilment.

This should also be a really positive day and the most common way I see of this turning into a black day is when you have to deal with the customer from hell. Now be honest, we all have them and when they dominate our day it will turn black fairly quickly. A SKY BLUE day is about going forward not backward. Working out how to interact with our GOOD customers.

They are the ones who love what we do, are positive about our business and always value us by honouring their commitments with us. A SKY BLUE day is not about reacting to customers and feeling pushed around.

Get on the front foot. Think about your uniqueness. Think about why you are so much better than your competition. Be courageous. It will make you feel a lot better and that’s how you’re supposed to feel on a SKY BLUE day

What coloured day are you having? (PART 1)

May 22, 2009

finish postColour is such an important part of the way we bring vibrancy to our lives. I remember back to black and white television (which shows you how old I am) and the day when I first saw colour. Everything seemed so much more real and vibrant.

In developing our whole system called The Financial Fence® I have learnt the value of colour and as a result found that many people learn more by the association of colour than numbers and words.

So in this little series of blog posts I’m going to look at the three colours that make up the activity on the fence and associate them to the kind of day you might be having.

So there are three different types of day you may be having as a business owner:

  1. A SKY BLUE day – this is the kind of day when you’re interacting with your customers.
  2. An ORANGE day when you’re working on administration , process and efficiency.
  3. A GREEN day when you’re working ON your business rather than IN your business.

Many times you may be having a day when all the colours are merged together and you feel in a bit of a mess. That is probably a black day for you.

If you’re having one of those days then the best thing to do is take a deep breath. Count to ten. Put two of the three colours away for the day and focus on only one of them.

You’ll find this will really help you and , you know, there’s always another day to bring out the other colours and get the value from them.
