Identities are a weird and fluid thing. For instance, I am BOTH a mompreneur AND a Home-based business owner, but identify as neither. There’s a Women Who WOW member who is — technically, education-wise and legally — an attorney but identifies as a consultant.
You may identify with any number of “boxes,” but there are ONLY three boxes that will predict how 2018 will go for you….
because it will accurately predict what action you’ll take… or not.
You are either….
Content,
Discontent,
Or MOVING.
Business owners who are CONTENT are satisfied with their view… They feel they’ve reached their own personal summit and have begun to make it home. If convenient, they’ll make small changes to make their current situation better, but have no interest in shaking things up.
Business owners who are DISCONTENT know they have a problem. They know they are WOEFULLY short of reaching their full potential. Or, they know their income doesn’t YET mirror the value they have to give. And their life? Well, for some who are DISCONTENT, they’re working too hard and business is too stressful and the rewards are just NOT enough…. not the way they want or deserve. But DISCONTENT can be — in some ways — a cozy place to hang out… despite the pain.
In the land of the DISCONTENT, you have many friends. There are AMPLE entrepreneurs willing to commiserate with you… complain about cheap clients or feast / famine cycles, no time, working 8 to late, or whatever. In the land of the DISCONTENT, you will NEVER be alone. Perhaps this is why MANY, MANY business owners choose to remain here.
What ACTIONS will the DISContent take in 2018?
Well, I’ve been in the land of discontent… and so I Know it intimately. Firstly, they’ll set HUGE goals. This will temporarily ease their pain. While they envision a better future, the nail they are sitting on will hurt less… and all of those around them are doing the same. So, again, they’re not alone.
Unfortunately, those who will remain in the land of the DISCONTENT eventually find that their willingness to change their DAILY ACTIONS does not match their desire to change their circumstance. On the treadmill of business, they’ll remain… by choice.
But, then there’s the MOVING box. These folks are also discontent, but in an inspiring way. On the regular, but especially as one year quickly fades into the next, they identify
— where they’ve exceeded their goals,
— where they’ve missed them (and why),
— what they’ve been tolerating,
— new goals, new rules / standards / new normals.
and of course:
the corresponding action items for each. In other words, they’ll do WHATEVER IT TAKES.
You see, those who are MOVING are never in the same place year to year…. They’re striving for more (like the discontent) but there is ONE KEY DIFFERENCE:
They’re plotting and planning —
and then actually TAKING —
bold actions.
Now, here’s the truth that put my own business on a path that I’d previously not even imagined:
You can self-appoint yourself into the MOVING category (and OUT of the land of the FOREVER discontent) at ANY TIME… with nothing more than a DECISION.
BUT….
Having a partner helps.
Having accountability HELPS MORE.
Engaging someone to not only help you set goals that will STRETCH and STRAIN your potential, but also hold you accountable to your BEST as you reach them…
Well, all of this KEEPS you in the land of the moving. And it’s exactly what I’ve created in my Plan, Promote & PUSH 2018 program. JOIN NOW… because we start tomorrow.
We plan differently… to allow our goals to BAKE into the very CORE of who we are.
