Do you agree that there’s a huge difference between knowing something & doing something? In business it’s the action that you take which really matters!
Having your own business and being your own boss can be a real headache at times. But…realize that your own experience, personality & wealth & talent dynamics profile can make a difference to how you think, act & feel generally. So play to your strengths as much as you can!
What seems to be missing, which is stopping me from even imagining it as a possibility just now? Think of your biggest goal or that ‘thing’ you really want to achieve for your business. If your mind can’t even imagine you achieving something, then in reality it’s very unlikely to happen.
What are you struggling with this week? Why not get out there & ask for help! Think about how much further ahead it will get you, instead of attempting to do it all by yourself … and probably not doing it justice anyway!
“What you do if you knew you wouldn’t fail?”
That’s one of my all time favourite coaching questions. Keep asking yourself this question over & over again, in the context of growing your business (or around an area that could do with some TLC today).
Write down everything that comes to mind, without letting your pen leave the paper.
‘How will I know if I’m pushing myself too much?’ A fab question from one of my coaching client earlier this week, don’t you think? If you’re feeling totally strained in your business, then the chances are that you are pushing yourself too much. You may be trying to run before you can walk or attempting to do too many things at the same time with limited time or resources. At these times, it’s about taking a step back, being honest & reprioritising.
“Who’s your latest business ‘crush’ on?” When you realise that they aren’t anymore extra special than you … it can really help you stop a lot of the rubbish that goes around in your mind & instead focus on YOU! Focus on taking action that will help YOU, YOUR business & YOUR customers or clients!
B&W Or Colour Hd? Can you really imagine watching a full movie that is all fuzzy & looking really ‘old school’ now? When it comes to focusing on what you want to achieve & experience in your business … it’s got to be super-super-super HD! When you can picture your future visions, goals & projects with real clarity, focus & sharpness – it makes it seem so much more realistic in your mind.
Feeling frustrated because things don’t feel like they’re moving fast enough for you? Get the balance right, as it’s just as bad to be slap-dash, cut corners & go live with a project! Apply this as if you are creating a new website. Consider what would be the first impression of your potential customers.
“Is your flame still burning or has it burnt out?”There’s really no end when it comes to learning & developing yourself. What can you do what that flame then? If you’re a business owner, you can inspire other people to know that they want to work closely with you or experience the amazing products or services that you have. If you’re a member of a team, it could be to help inspire each other to want to collectively work together in a focused way & each playing your individual parts to make your overall goals and visions come alive!
