I don’t know about you but for me, I have 10,000 things I need to do to move my business forward yet I don’t get anything done 📝
( when I say anything - I mean the uncomfortable things that I know will get me results)
There are so many days where I sit there I’m like “Why are you torturing yourself with this analysis paralysis, Bhumi?!” 😰
And the funny thing is, it’s not just me - I see it every day. . . 🗓
Business owners, entrepreneurs, and people who work for themselves deal with this on a regular basis.
Does this sound familiar:
“Oh I need to do X for my business but my client needs me so I can’t”
Or “I’ll just do it tomorrow” or “I don’t know how to do this, so I can’t do it”
Or “I’m so busy”
I’ve used all these excuses and no matter what excuse you use - valid or invalid- it doesn’t matter.
As one of my mentors would say -
“I don’t care what your excuse is, you are where you’re at from the actions or the lack of actions you've taken. Take full responsibility for your life because no one is coming to save you.” (in this case your business )
If you don’t know how to do something, Google it. If you still can’t find the answer just do something that gets you closer to the answer.
If you’re making time for clients over your business, just know that you're working IN your business not on ON your business.
Thinking, perfecting, or talking about what you’re going to do will keep you where you’re at.
And that will get you the same results.
Action is the ONLY thing that will move you forward ⏩
I would even go far as to say just start doing even if you’re
- not ready
- not sure if this is the right path
- do not have enough info to get it done
- don’t know how to do it, etc.
Because eventually, you’ll get data back to adjust, make improvements, or figure out what the next steps will be.
So I want to ask you what is one thing you know to need to do to move your business forward and what action step are you going to take? 🧐🔎
