Hello friends!
This week kicks off a new series on Reevaluating our Businesses and Goals as we inch toward a new year in 2025. Running a small business is more than the numbers and professional goals. It is all of the heart, soul and personal commitment to the life of your small business and drives growth and achievements.
Over the next 10 weeks we will focus on creating a plan, both professionally and personally, that will set-up your world for the greatest opportunity in the new year.
Let’s jump in!
Series: Evaluating Your Business | Edition 1- Pinpoint Effort Areas
Running your own business is absolutely one of the most amazing gifts and opportunities! We all know that!
We also know that it doesn’t come without a lot of work and sacrifice. And if you are like so many of us, that work and sacrifice can sometimes feel
incredibly overwhelming. Oftentimes, the “overwhelm” comes in areas that may not be our strongest skill-set or in an area of our business that we may have neglected for one reason or another.
So, as we move into evaluating where our businesses are as we round out 2024 and as we set-goals and business plans moving into 2025, begin making a list of where you and your team find levels of stress or “overwhelm” inside your current business plan.
When you are feeling a struggle, take a small step back and make a short list of the areas that feel that you need the most help, practice, or attention. Then number that short list in order of importance.
Start from your #1 and work intentionally to achieve whatever change you need to see. Once that specific item of work can be marked off the list, move to #2.
I know we can sometimes want to jump in and throw all of the balls into the air at one time. But, trust experience on this one… that Does Not Work. Give your self the courage and time to move through your list in a process and you will see greater successes, one by one.
When you are intentionally mastering your weaknesses, you are strengthening the core of what you are pursuing. For me, this takes a bit of the overwhelm out of the picture (pun intended).
