Does the thought of growing your business seem a bit overwhelming?
We all know the proper way to eat an elephant is one bite at time, but if you aren’t given an eating utensil or don’t know what utensil to use, you can never even begin to enjoy the delicacy.
Growth in business is dictated by solutions and action. Debating the answer or developing excuses is a sure fire way to make sure your business is in the same exact place this time next year. And at that moment, a year from now, you will be asking yourself the same questions. Do I use a spoon or a fork? Do I need a knife? What sauce is best served with elephant?
Action is what gets it done. Of course you have a choice. You can say you don’t like elephant and you don’t want to eat it. In turn, accepting where you are right now. But if you’re not profiting, not building, not growing your business the way you at one time thought was an option then it’s time to take action.
You may want to consider the fact you may need help along the way. Trust goes a long way in business as it relates to your customers. You need to also consider trust in finding answers to building your empire. You spend time to build a relationship with your customers so you need to build a relationship with your business consultant, coach or marketing team in the same fashion.
Many times we forget what we already know. I know that sounds crazy, but I’ve worked with clients that say, “We used to do that and it worked really well.” and of course the reply is, “Then why did you stop?” Having someone work with you who can step back, look at your business and see it with energized eyes is one of the most beneficial tools available. It’s a way to help you start eating your elephant.
