Consistency is the key to success claims Complete One

Newcastle-based event promotions firm, Complete One believes that consistency is key to success. With the firm’s MD picking up an award at the 2016 Sales and Marketing Awards Gala, for the fourth consecutive year being among the award winners, the firm shares their top tips for remaining consistent.

Events and Promotions specialists Complete One are constantly striving to achieve a consistent service. By placing emphasis in this sometimes overlooked area in business, it can really strengthen a brand’s image. Glen Lowes, MD of Complete One proves his ability to deliver consistency in business as he collects his fourth award in four consecutive years. Glen Lowes has really started to make a name for himself at the annual Sales and Marketing Awards, and over the years he has picked up the ‘20/20 Performance Award’ which is for overall performance. This award is recognition for the great results Complete One has achieved over the last year which includes growing their client portfolio and extending their market reach. This is the fourth year in a row that Glen Lowes has won this award, illustrating the tremendous consistency of success at Complete One.

As a leading example of consistency in business, Glen Lowes shares his best 3 tips:

1/ Use a morning ritual. Setting the tone for the day is key for business. Whether it’s a morning run, a meditation session or reading a business blog, entrepreneurs should make a step towards achieving a personal goal each morning. “Get it done before the working day starts,” advises Glen Lowes.

2/ Do things even if you don’t feel like it. Understanding the importance of accountability will assist in completing tasks in a timely matter.  On days where motivation is lower than usual it is important to understand why the task is so important to the bigger picture. A task always seems less daunting once it’s started.

3/ Find and do what you love or like to do. Figure out what is important personally.  Find a cause that holds personal passion. “Work doesn’t seem like work, if you are striving to achieve a goal that holds personal significance,” explains MD Glen Lowes. Choose projects carefully to assist in building the consistency that will take personal development to the next level.

Complete One inspired by Leicester City’s Premier League win

At the beginning of the 2015/2016 Premier League season, Leicester City were a staggering 5000/1 bet to win.  However, after the 2-2 draw between Chelsea and Tottenham on May 2nd , the underdogs clinched the title.  Newcastle-based event marketing firm, Complete One has been inspired by the Leicester City Story, and used it as motivation.   

From 5000/1 outsiders to champions with two matches to spare, the Leicester City story is one of the most remarkable in Premier League history; and a feat that will unlikely be repeated anytime soon.  Highlighting just how inconceivable the Leicester City story is, the odds for Elvis being found alive were 2500/1, and the Loch Ness monster being found was 1500/1.  It is 21 years since any team out of the so called “big clubs” (Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City or Manchester United) have won the top-flight title. The dominance of the big clubs has been down to financial investments, and the constraints of others. English football has become a big-money business with billions of pounds being invested from TV deals, the latest of which is worth £5.136 billion (www.bbc.co.uk) and a continued increased spend from clubs in every transfer window.  It was considered unthinkable that any team could break the dominance of the traditional elite clubs, however Leicester certainly defied financial logic.

Managing Director at Complete One, Glen Lowes was inspired by the Leicester City story and used it as inspiration for one of the company’s morning meetings.  During the meeting Glen Lowes outlined all the things that were supposedly more likely to happen, and reinforced the fact that their win was proof that teamwork, dedication and hard work can overcome anything. “I am a massive football fan and Leicester City’s win was such a great result for the world of football, showing that in a very money driven time, hard work, determination and an unstoppable team spirit can overcome the odds. ”

Complete One host workshop on forming good habits

Event marketing specialists, Complete One, have been focused on forming good habits in order to meet their projected goals for this year, and last week the firm hosted an educational workshop on the subject. 

2015 was a record-breaking year for Complete One. It saw the firm extend their market reach into Glasgow and Sheffield, and add two new clients to their portfolio, both household names in their respective fields, as well as receiving accolades at the 2015 Sales & Marketing Awards. The Newcastle-based event promotions specialists have big goals for 2016 as they look to extend their market reach into four new cities, and break the £1 million turnover barrier. Now in Q2, Managing Director Glen Lowes is focusing on habits, in order to boost productivity and output, which in turn will take the firm closer to their goals.   

It is a common belief that it takes 21 days to form a habit and Glen Lowes, Managing Director at Complete One supports that theory. “Coming from a construction background, making the transition from a manual laborer to an entrepreneur in the sales and marketing industry wasn’t easy. There were many new skills I had to learn and habits I had to form in order to progress my career.”

At Complete One they believe that continued learning is imperative for business success, and this is a philosophy that the innovative, and rapidly expanding firm shares with their contractors. Last week, Glen Lowes hosted a workshop on habits, and how to successfully form new ones that will stick. 

1. Make it a daily occurrence – In order for a habit to stick, consistency is critical. Activities that are done only once every few days are much harder to lock in as habits, whereas if the activity is carried out daily it has more chance of becoming a habit. 

2. Start small – When trying to make a change, it can be easy to take on too much. Rather than getting bogged down with too many tasks, which will wear someone thin, the key to making a change is to take on one task at a time.

3. Be consistent – Consistency is the driving force of success. If someone is consistent in their attempts to form new habits, their success rate is likely to be much higher. 

4. Write it down – Having a visual reminder can prove to be very powerful.  By writing something down it makes an idea clearer and easier to focus on the end result.

5.Make it personal – The habits should be personal and assist in someone achieving their goals. Trying to form habits that are considered important, but not necessarily relevant will not stick. Habits should be geared towards an individual’s goals and the things that motivate them.

The most successful people have formed positive habits, which contribute to their success, and MD at Complete One, Glen Lowes has formed many of his own habits, which helps him to grow and prosper as an entrepreneur and business owner. 

Newcastle-based event marketing firm, Complete One are currently focusing on the formation of good habits and it is something they have made a theme for the week. As a firm that is committed to the development of the people they work with, constantly providing educational opportunities to further their business development is an integral part of their success.

Complete One Director Glen Lowes Explains Why Not Everyone is Cut Out for Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is becoming an ever-more popular career choice, thanks in part to TV shows such as The Apprentice and Dragons’ Den.  The Managing Director of sales and marketing firm Complete One outlines why not everyone is destined for entrepreneurial success and shares what it is takes to succeed in a fast-paced, competitive business environment.

Entrepreneur and Managing Director at Complete One, Glen Lowes has vast experience working with budding entrepreneurs, coaching and mentoring them. In his role as MD at Complete One, Glen Lowes has a proven track record for developing many budding entrepreneurs into successful businessmen and women. Glen Lowes believes that not everyone can be an entrepreneur, and that whilst he does support the idea that everyone has the potential, not enough people have the focus, drive and desire to take on entrepreneurship and win.

Here the business owner discusses the three personality traits necessary to be a successful entrepreneur. 

1.    Willpower 

The initial period of excitement can soon ware off once the reality of the day to day running of a start-up kicks in. Getting a start-up off the ground and making sure it beats the odds survives the first year can mean sleepless nights, having little or no money and having to overcome an endless number of obstacles. 

Through sheer willpower, the most successful entrepreneurs are able to become problem solvers and turn what started as an impossible dream into reality. 

2.    Resilience 

It can often take multiple attempts for success to be achieved. The most successful entrepreneurs will have hit walls, and been told ‘no’ multiple times. World-renowned author of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling was turned down by 12 publishers before Bloomsbury picked it up for an advance of just £1,500. The series went on to sell more than 450 million copies worldwide.

Successful founders need thick skin and the ability to bounce back from failure. Failure is an inevitable part of life and the most successful entrepreneurs learn from those failures and make sure not to fall into the same traps in the future.  

3.    Decisiveness 

Decisiveness is what separates the average from the extraordinary. It can be hard to make tough decisions that might be unpopular, however it is an important step in becoming a successful entrepreneur. When making critical decisions, entrepreneurs cannot afford to over-analyse or hesitate as indecision can leave the outcome to chance, thereby handing the advantage to a competitor.
