Where are you “making it hard” to create success? Can you identify the struggle? What are your beliefs about work?
We have sayings like, “She works like a dog.” “He’s a workhorse.” “They work like a machine”…
We watch someone rush into the coffee shop holding a briefcase, talking on their cell phone and barking their order to the Barista and we think, “That person’s successful.”
Ha! We have it all wrong!
We have conversations about the joy of retirement and design our entire career around “the day I retire”. Hmmmmm….
What I notice is the most fulfilled, enlivened and interesting people are the very people who love to work, enjoy growing their business and love making a difference for others!
I just watched an interview with Clint Eastwood who is 80 years old and doing his 4th movie this year! Warren Buffet is nearing 80 and he goes to work every day!
Work is engaging, fulfilling and fun. Finding work that you love and you believe in is a gift!
Even in Genesis, we see God putting Adam to work when he tells him his first job is to name all the animals. God values work.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m all about creating wealth and financial freedom so you can do what you want when you want to do it. But, what I know to be true is the most fulfilled people are the ones who enjoy meaningful work!
I’ve noticed with most of my client’s success, there are 5 core ingredients that make growing a successful business fun, fulfilling and relatively stress-free.
If you want to breakthrough the connotations you have to growing your successful business, consider taking on this 5 Step Formula and give yourself permission to enjoy building your business.
First, here are the most common reasons people create drama and struggle in building their business:
1. Lack of Direction
2. Lack of Belief
3. Lack of Commitment
4. Lack of a System (accountability)
5. Lack of ENERGY(Fuel)
Wow! That’s a lot of lack! So, let’s take these 5 and reposition them to be “A Formula for Creating Success”:
Step 1. Know what you want. If you’re familiar with my work, then you know that’s what I’ve been teaching the past 21 years of my Speaking Career! Do you have clarity?
Step 2. Build Belief: This is a life-long habit. You need to really own this. Believe that this is the time. You are the one. You have been called for just a time as this.
Step 3. The belief creates commitment. Your commitment creates Belief. Constantly “recommit” to your desires.
Step 4. What’s your personal formula for success? Create and follow your formula. One of my clients teaches her team, “Two a day, ten in play.”
Step 5. Energy. Create a short burst of effort right now! Move into a burst of Action right now! It takes 80% of a rockets fuel to launch and 20% of the rockets fuel to get to the moon and return!
This 5 Step Process will empower you to enjoy working and giving your energy to meaningful work that makes a difference. And that is what building a successful business is all about!
