What You'll Discover In This Episode:
We all have ambitious goals for our businesses. Whether it's increasing revenue, improving profitability, expanding our market share, launching a new service, or being efficient enough to consistently make it home in time for dinner, these aspirations drive us forward. However, achieving your goals requires more than just wishful thinking, it demands a solid foundation of a growth mindset, decision-making, and vision of success aligned action-taking to name a few.
A growth mindset is crucial. It means believing in your ability to learn and improve, even in the face of challenges. Are you viewing setbacks as opportunities for growth? Are your decisions made with careful consideration and research? Or are you too busy doing administrative tasks and putting out fires to carefully plan how to move your business forward? Are you juggling too much and feeling too stretched to take the time needed to determine the decisions and actions that will get you to the finish line?
Consistent, positive habits are the building blocks of success while consistent, focused action is what transforms goals into reality. Achieving your goals might require significant changes in one or all of these areas. It might mean stepping outside your comfort zone, embracing new strategies, developing new skills and traits, or seeking support.
Laying this groundwork is an investment in your business's future. It's about creating the conditions for success, so that when opportunities arise, you'll be ready and able to seize them. Goal achievers know that and they do the work to lay a solid foundation for success in their business. What else do they have in common? According to this week’s guest on the Small Business Straight Talk Podcast, goal achievers have four specific C’s in common. Want to know what they are so you can prioritize developing them and putting your energy right where it’s needed?
Then I invite you to dive into this week’s episode in which I sit down with goal achievement coach Kristin Burke to dive into the habits, shifts, and actions that lead to achieving your business goals and attaining the life and success you desire.
