Stop working on your business.
Start working on yourself.
Many entrepreneurs spend their entire working day putting out fires in a never-ending cycle of reacting to problems that arise in their business in order to survive.
It’s called the Survival Trap.
And it IS a trap because as we respond to what is urgent rather than what is important, we get the immediate satisfaction of fixing a problem. We live to fight another day but there is no long-term benefit.
Surviving is not thriving. And what’s stopping you from thriving is YOU.
Entrepreneurs often become comfortable with the grind of long hours, so they keep doing the things that keep them in their comfort zone.
But if you want your business to succeed you must get out of your own way.
You need to stop working so hard and take time to work on yourself: examine your beliefs, your perspective, your habits and your behaviours.
You need to analyse what elements of your psychology are holding you back and work on changing them…
It may not be comfortable, but it is 100% necessary if you want to build a solid foundation for success.
Do you recognise how important it is to regularly take the time to work on yourself?
I help entrepreneurs and go–getters turn their dreams into reality.
I can help you build a business that delivers the income, freedom and fulfilment you truly desire.
Ships are built based around air-tight compartments so if the ship runs into an iceberg or a rock and a hole in the hull results, they can seal off that airtight compartment and the ship would continue to float.
To grow your business without constant worry, treat it as though it were a ship and each day is an airtight compartment.
So, some days you might have a really bad day and that’s like your airtight compartment being punctured and flooding, and you’re thinking, “This is awful. I think I’m going to quit my whole business.”
That would be like having a ship, which is built to sustain a puncture and then not sealing off the rest of the ship, even though you have the capability to do so, and letting the boat sink because you had one bad day.
Instead, realize that you can seal off whatever happens at that moment, and whatever happened that day.
And you can always keep the ship afloat because there’s always the next moment, the next day, the next compartment, which allows the whole of the ship to continue to float.
You have to allow for things to happen in a moment and continue moving forward.
Don’t let the whole ship sink, when it is built to withstand a couple of bad days in a row, a couple of bad months in a row, maybe even a couple of bad years in a row.
Understand that you as a human being are also built to be able to succeed even when bad things happen.
If you can remember that and commit to not jumping ship, not deviating from your current course and just ploughing forward, using this idea of airtight compartments, you will succeed not just in your business, but in all aspects of your life.
