Your business' purpose should be to generate enough income to support your desired lifestyle. In this episode of Influence by Design, Samantha talks to Tim about the importance of calculating your actual lifestyle costs and then determining the revenue you need from your business, rather than going around and chasing vague targets.“A million dollars” has become a go-to goal for most entrepreneurs wanting to grow their business by increasing revenue. However, very few successfully hit the $1M mark — in fact, only 4.4%  of businesses do —because most set it as an indeterminate target without making an effort to ground it in their actual lifestyle costs and desired business model. Sam and Tim discuss the value of making tiny, 1% improvements, which can be achieved by simply ticking off 3 tasks every day. If done consistently, these actions compound over time, and you’ll soon find yourself well on your way to hitting your targets (perhaps even exceeding them).Tune in as Samantha and Tim explore the benefits of knowing your desired lifestyle costs, becoming aware of the requisite profit margins for the realization of this goal, and setting tangible, realistic targets. The insights you’ll gain will guide you as you enhance and model your business so it fits and supports the lifestyle you desire. For full show notes and links -  https://samanthariley.global/podcast/543Samantha Riley xxGet your free copy of The Human Design Advantage -  https://samanthariley.global/advantage/Join the Coaches, Thought Leaders & Changemakers FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/172041823301121I’d love to connect with you - please reach out and say hi: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesamriley/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samriley/

Continuing our theme with the 11 Mistakes Preventing Business Growth, we dive deeper into a topic which is not a mistake, but a normal human emotion we all experience - fear. In this episode of Influence by Design, we look at some of the ways fear affects business owners and entrepreneurs, and how it can negatively impact their business growth. As an entrepreneur, you are no stranger to the myriad of emotions that go along with the journey. If you’ve been in business long enough, you’ll also know that your fears also evolve as you enter each new level in business. Fear in the entrepreneurial context is a multifaceted phenomenon. It can manifest as a fear of failure, fear of success, fear of financial uncertainties, and fear of being judged. These emotions are typically felt because you are walking on a path that no one has been on before. In your pursuit of business growth, keep in mind that fear is a shared human experience, and being able to master the self to overcome fear is perhaps the most rewarding aspect of this journey. For full show notes and links -  https://samanthariley.global/podcast/509Samantha Riley xxGet your free copy of The Human Design Advantage -  https://samanthariley.global/advantage/Join the Coaches, Thought Leaders & Changemakers FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/172041823301121I’d love to connect with you - please reach out and say hi: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesamriley/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samriley/
