5 Small Steps To Seeing BIG Change In Your Passion!

As business owners and entrepreneurs, it is very easy to get busy working in your business and not on your business! To be totally candid, sometimes it all starts to look and sound the same. Good news is I have a few small tips that will help you re-align your efforts to see BIG change and rekindle excitement.

My goal is to help you break the old “rocking chair” effect - plenty of action but not getting anywhere. I want to see you excited, hopeful, and fervently optimistic about your business again. My desire for this quick but relevant post is to help you maximize all your efforts so you can see the results you need to see to stay motivated.

Now, before I go there, I want to lead with this. Money is not always a motivator. I have found that money is the result of your passion producing a profit. Money cometh when your passion works for you. I have learned even in my own business that my passion must be my motivation. Seriously, life is entirely too short not to love what we spend 50% of our life doing. Now, let’s break this glass house.

Here are five small steps you can take that will help you rekindle your love affair with your work, yes I said it, rekindle your passion for your business.

Step One: Revisit your mission.

Are you all over the board? Stick to what you started with. Allow the market to demand your shift. Don’t shift too early or with every trend. That’s a quick way to crash and burn. Remember why you started.

Step Two: Understand who your customer really is. Talk to them. Get to know your customer’s needs and concerns. Talk to them as non-customers. It’s amazing how much you can uncover.

Step Three: Learn what your customer values.

If you can find the pleasure points of your customer, you can help them to see past their pain points, or your “progression hurdles.”

Step Four: Clarify what results look like for your business.

Is it closing more business? Is it franchising; rebranding? Once you know what results look like, you can get excited about attaining them. Start the GPS!

Step Five: Do you have a well-developed plan of action?

This is why I am in business today. I have helped emerging entrepreneurs and enterprises strategically plan their business success for over 15 years, and the power of a plan has never failed us. The Bible says, “…write the vision down and make it plain…” (Habakkuk 2:2-4) So get started!

I want you to see the results you need that will empower you to stay motivated and full of passion and creativity. We can lose sight of the goal when we lose sight of why we started in the first place. Remember, productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.
