The #1 Secret to a Successful Business: What you’re doing wrong and how to fix it
I promise you, this is a chapter in every business owner’s story.
I want to share mine with you and a tool to help you fix this at the end.
What am I doing wrong?
I’ll never forget laying on the couch, feeling so heavy with many questions running through my mind, on the verge of both screaming and flooding with tears.
Frustrated felt like an understatement…
I had been working SO hard on my business.
I had been doing ALL the things.
I had NO results to show for it.
I don’t want to simply tell you that I was exhausted…
I had really been pouring myself over countless hours of work, doing all the things I was told I needed to get my business really going. I had a loooooonnnnggg to-do list I was continuously adding to. All of the parts, to-dos, tasks, etc. were in place. I was showing up. I was definitely doing the work.
So why was nothing working???
I remember lying there with this gut-wrenching, all-consuming feeling as my mind fought between the ideas of ‘what was I don’t wrong’ and throwing in the towel…
I will say, this was also my first real experience with burnout. And it sucked! (Future blog post coming soon about the things that burnout taught me.)
What I came to find out, much later -- which is what I want to help you avoid -- is that it wasn’t about what I was doing wrong.
And if you’re finding yourself in this story, this is most likely true for you too.
Because there were other things I was doing as a result of something else -- here’s one example of what I mean:
Downward Spiral
A midst feeling like I was spinning my wheels and having little-to-no results to show for it, I continued my search to learn what I was doing wrong.
I bought courses.
I read books.
I listened to podcasts.
I enrolled in programs.
Maybe I needed another course?
Maybe I needed another certification?
Maybe I wasn’t good enough.
The Truth
Here’s the thing…
It didn’t matter how many courses, programs, or certifications I got. It didn’t matter how many things I checked off my list or how long I worked. It didn’t even matter if I had all the strategies in the world… if I didn’t believe I was good enough to make it happen.
When our business isn’t working, it’s easy to start Googling, scroll through Facebook groups, binge content, buy courses and programs, and overall, search outside of ourselves for the answer.
I am telling you deeply, from my heart to yours, I get it. I know how frustrating it is.
But the work starts with YOU.
The deep work -- the work no one wants to do because it’s hard, it’s scary, and honestly, it’s just easier to try out someone else's strategy, process, or system, and seek advice on how to get the results we want...
It's easier to search externally.
It's easier to avoid our own beliefs and problems.
(I know that one kinda stings, but I’m guilty of it too.)
