Its natural and NORMAL to question everything you are doing when you are building a business.
And quite frankly, there are some principles that always work (discussed below), but outside of that, no one has the magic potion. The real deal of the situation is this: Its lonely at the top, or rather, its lonely when you are building a business as a soloprenuer, especially in the health and wellness field.
You are likely highly passionate, with impeccable integrity, and more interested in helping people than anything else, even profit. You are likely driven by a desire to share what has helped you with EVERYONE so they can find their power and path.
Sound like you?
Not only is it lonely, its difficult to stay clear, objective, motivated, out of your head, and effective. So, getting in a hurry is a sure fire way to crash and burn. Staying confused is as well. You can have a sense of purpose and speed but you can’t hurry and stay clear and effective. The principles of building a business that come up for those of us in the wellness space being a soloprenuer are:
SOLID PRINCIPLES
A specific measurable goal (that reflects your true purpose) for this month and 6 months out …minimum.
A daily plan on your schedule that are the actoins you decided BEFORE HAND are what you are going to do to reach those above to goals.
See, here is the thing. Deciding what to do in the moment, always on the fly, according to the last webinar you watched or 10 pages of a book you read or what you saw someone else do can move your business, yes, but its not in your best interest for several reasons.
1. How will you know what worked and didn’t?
3. How will you ever me free from that activity?
5. Do you want to wake up every day a year from now still blowing with the wind letting the influence of others decide your fate?
6. How about 5 years from now?
This is from my heart - the heart I have for the person who is starting out- I was you - and I want to pour my experience and personal investment into you so you can take your energy and passion for what you want to do together with what I can teach and find success, but even more, PEACE and FREEDOM.
So to really drill the point home: The huge problem with:
wing it daily,
do when you feel like,
work out of pure emotion
*I AM GONG OT WIN BECAUSE I CARE AND IM GOOD AT WHAT I DO* (this one is deadliest of all)
strategies are they will never provide you peace, and freedom.
The reason is simple. To win, you will learn to choose a goal and path and then commit to it so you can test and measure what works and what doesn’t.
That way you are able to use what is proven useful (not what some webinar or book promises is) and leave what is not.
You set aside time to make those decisions based on your goals, not your in the moment emotions, and then the job each day is to EXECUTE and ENJOY!!
That way you can use the lessons you are learning and upgrade the plan so that your business reaches its goals and so does your life with clarity and speed.
That way you can have a boundary around your work and allow yourself to know when you are “done” for the day and press forward with a clear mind.
If you combine this with the excitement you have for what you are building and your passion for helping others, you can turn your passion into a payday.
If you found this useful, or it made you think, added value in ANY way, I don’t ask for anything, just that you join me in helping others….if it made you think of someone you know, your teammate, or your team, share and tag away ON FACEBOOK.COM/UNCOMMONOPTIMISM
