"Think less about the logistics of growing a business and more about the habits that can influence your mindset, productivity, and innovation. "
Listen on
I am sharing a hot-take that I have when it comes to growing your business. I want to flip this script and share three nontraditional, yet very powerful, ways that you can grow your business. I want to challenge you to think less about the logistics of growing up business, and more about the habits that you can use to influence your mindset, productivity, and innovation.
Journaling as an entrepreneur
Journaling can help unlock your vision and creativity for your business. But it’s not looked at like a business building experience when it comes to growing your revenue. Journaling is an activity that helps clarify my thoughts, track my progress, and also spark creativity in my life and business. Journaling is a tool to help you self-reflect and can directly impact decision-making and goal setting in your business. You don’t need anything fancy, hear how I go started and what I use now that makes this process so easy!
I have unlocked so many thoughts and provoking questions, that once I get them out on paper, I can quickly identify the solution or I can begin formulating a path to overcoming the problem. Journaling has helped unlock the next level in my business and life. I have been able to sit with difficult questions for myself, put ease to the thoughts that keep me up at night, and influence the way I think and I make decisions in my business. Journaling is a timestamp in your business and life to look back on what was working, what we were struggling with, and what our deepest, darkest goals were at that point in your life.
Reading to grow your business
I went from being someone that hadn’t picked up a book since college, to someone that starts my quiet morning with a hot cup of coffee and a book cuddled up on the couch. You can learn from the best minds and really powerful and influential people when you pick up their book. It’s a way to learn from others that have successes and that have walked the path before you. Reading exposes you to new ideas, strategies, and perspectives that you might not have. Listen to hear some of my favorite reads over this year!
Prioritize yourself for biz growth
I’m not talking about going to the gym everyday for hours, or countless hours of cardio. Instead, I am talking about simple, daily routines that you can add to your busy life to elevate your health. Think about how our physical and mental health is directly tied to our business. When you really think about it, your health determines your energy levels, which determines your decision-making, which determines the HEALTH of your business, see the correlation? By prioritizing your health, you make sure you’re operating at your highest level for your business.
By using one, or a combination of the three, you can create lasting results for your business and yourself. Try to incorporate these tasks throughout your day where it makes sense. I challenge you to pick one of these three areas to start this week. Remember, small changes lead to big results.
