Feeling Stuck in your Business?
Are you currently feeling stuck in your business? Do you feel like you’re going around in circles? I’m going to tell you about 5 things you can do to get unstuck. So, grab a pen and paper, write these exercises down, or simply print out this post and pin it somewhere you can see it to remind you when you start feeling stuck again.
Go Back To Your Why
Why are you doing what you are doing? Why did you start your business in the first place? It’s important to revisit your why to help remind you what is driving you. There is no right or wrong answer, it could be that you want more money or to spend more time with your family, but you do need to remind yourself why you started your business in the first place.
Be clear on what your why is, this is your anchor and will be the reason you keep going when times are tough.
2. What is your Mission?
What is the purpose of your business? You’ve answered the question of why you are doing what you are doing, now you need to remind yourself of what you are doing. What do you hope to achieve? Get clear on your mission.
3. What is your vision?
You need to know what you are working towards, what your dreams are, and what your ultimate goal is. This is your vision. Be clear on your vision, this is looking ahead to the future, to where you want to be.
4. Who are you serving?
Who are your ideal clients? Are you speaking to the right people? Are you going where they go? Be clear on who you are serving or who you want to serve and seek them out in the right places. You can find out more about how to do that by visiting my blog post; Who are your Supporters, Inspirations, and Drains?
5. Action
Look at the activities you are currently taking in your business and ask yourself if they align with the previous 4 steps. Is the activity you are working on going to take you any closer to your end goal?
Are the activities you are taking serving a business, are you in contact with your ideal customer client. After considering this, now you need to make an action plan, and take intentional steps towards creating actions that will get you to your ideal clients, will follow your vision, and will meet your mission. Most importantly, this all needs the be in line with your ‘why’.
Every activity you do has to align with all of these steps and along the way, things will change so it is important you use this exercise and come back to it as your business moves forward. By doing this, you will identify why you are stuck and will start to see a clear path to becoming unstuck, and that after all, is where we want to be.
