It is #TrashItThursday and my topic for today is to try and help you realize that whether you think you have enough of something or whether you feel you are lacking, unless you are dead, you can always get more, earn more, want more, share more, do more or yes, just take more.
On this Trash It Thursday, I want you to stop worrying where the level is. You are wasting time measuring where you stand instead of enjoying what is at hand and what possibilities still remain. I can talk about this topic on a personal life level for days but in keeping with a business theme, I will discuss how it can effect you business wise. There are two very distinct ways that people react when measuring there level in business which, is exhausting your mental, emotional and monetary capacities and it is these two mistakes that I feel are important for you to be conscious of.
The first mistake that people make is that they are constantly looking at how many clients they DO NOT have. They compare themselves to their peers and to other like minded businesses and they are always worried about the “why”. Why they have less clients, why they cannot find new leads, why others are making more and why are they always falling short. This mindset is complete and total self sabotage. STOP worrying about what others have. You are in business for yourself. You are growing and creating a sustainable lifestyle for you which will lead you to your financial freedom goals. If you do not start appreciating what you already have then your lack of appreciation will show and you will lose whatever it is you have that you have worked so hard for. Always remember that there is NO comparison. You can only do you. Stop trying to be like others and stop envying what others have. That which you envy will be what will kill you. Remember where you read that, right here.
On the flip side, the second mistake is, do not fall asleep on your business because you feel that your cup is full and arrogance has you believing that it will always be that way. You have to be consistent. It does not matter if you feel that you are running perfectly on all cylinders while on auto pilot. Everything in life needs attention. As soon as you sit back and think you have a perfect business running in evergreen mode, that is when your competition will come in and devour you. So here is my advice on this side, even if you have been lucky enough to build your business where it can stand on its own, you must continue to nurture it. Those that have placed you at that level will constantly be looking to see new tweaks that you have made and they will be referring new people to you which will allow you to stay evergreen. Then there are new people in search of businesses like yours. If they happen upon you and see that you have not made changes or updates in a long period of time then they will assume your business is no longer relevant and they will move on to your competition regardless of how fantastic your product is. Do not ever let an arrogant mindset replace your successful mindset because the two are not synonymous.
Therefore, my point on this #TrashItThursday for you is to stop measuring. There is plenty to go around in this world so do not stress the level that you currently hold. If you need more then you can always work toward growing. If you feel you have enough, you can continue to tweak and modify so that if evaporation in your business begins, a few maneuvers on your end and you are back on top.
Do you want to continue to grow and prosper? The only way to do that is to continue to learn. As usual I recommend reading something every chance you get even if it is an article, a pamphlet or a book. Just read. For today’s reading choice, I have chosen, once again, 3 Word Rebellion.
