Just a butterfly has to go through 3 critical stages of life before it arrives at significance, so must YOUr business!
- Survival – Egg
- Stability – Caterpillar
- Success – Pupa
- Significance – Butterfly
Often times solopreneurs and entrepreneurs want to grow too fast – it’s an apple before the cart kind of thing, or in this case a caterpiller to butterfly kind of thing!
Some might have a few basic business cornerstones laid might the capacity to juggle moving parts on the fly for a period of time, yet the risk comes when critical steps to setting a solid foundation get skipped.
You see, it’s easy to gain a false sense of success – in the “busy”, and if busy is not managed within a context of a stable foundation overwhelm will be inevitable.
Have you ever experienced that? I have!
How did that serve you, your business or your clients? Overwhelm can actually cause brand erosion instead of what you’re realy wanting: brand elevation.
Consider the following:
- Do you have stability in your business foundation (systems, process, policies)?
- Have you identified your VALUES for which you will fight – for your clients and your business?
- Are you calendar blocking to ensure priorities are met and you’re not overwhelmed?
If not, what what minor tweak can you do today that will provide your business more stability?
TIP: To reduce my overwhelm and ensure I give the best of ME to my clients I schedule activities on my calendar based on “energy” vs. time and I plan at least a 1 hour margin of time in between clients. This allows me to refresh and refocus and serve from a reserve of my strengths instead of a place of depletion.
