Have you ever felt that your business is never going to take off? You're never going to get to where you want to be? Ought to be? Should be? Could be? Yet, you're wondering how your competition is doing it & doing it well? Press Pause! Put your foot on the brake! Look in the mirror! What are you doing to get to the next level? To move beyond your current situation? I guess, because I see situations and circumstances from a different perspective, the competition does not affect me. How they got what they got and do what they do, does not bother me. Oftentimes we get caught up in the moment and only what we can see before our eyes.
We must take the time to look at the big picture of it all. If you are stuck, right here, right now-you will NEVER move to the next level. You will NEVER see all that God has for your business endeavor. If you continue to hold on to your knowledge and live in your own little world, instead of reaching out and reaching up, you will never move to the next level.
The time starts now, STOP looking around you at what the next beautician is doing! At what the next life coach is doing! At what the next blogger is doing! At what the next landscaper is doing! Instead, start now, researching your industry; attending networking events; become a member of mastermind groups, invest in your business. After all, it is your business. Start sharing your information with others. When I say invest in your business, I don't just mean financially, I mean mentally, physically, emotionally~give your all to your business. Be your best client. Do what others are not doing! Promote your business on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc. If you are not on social media or unfamiliar with the different sites, YouTube or Google it.
The time starts now, live and walk in the overflow. Speak blessings and miracles over your business. Walk in your overflow as if you already have it. Affirm your business and your clients. Don't treat your business like a side-chick, just pick it up when it's convenient for you. NO, treat your business like the main chick. What you see others doing, you too, can do it. Does EVERYONE on your friends list know what you do for a living? Do they know you take your business serious? Do they support your business? If they don't support your business, are they talking about your business? Do you have a business page on FB? If you answered no to these questions, it is time for you to raise yourself from the ashes and take the world by storm. Your every thought should be a way to make your business run a little smoother, to get new clients; to get repeat paying clients. Do you have fliers, postcards, business cards? Are you running specials? Again, I ask, "What are you doing to invest in your business?" Please don't give me an excuse about finances. Educating yourself on your industry is a FREE investment. How so? I am glad you asked. Two words, Library Card. If you are like me and don't like the library, because you have to return the books, e-books. If you have a wireless device, the Kindle app is FREE, there are tons of FREE industry-related Kindle books. Ok, so you don't like to read, well, well, well, guess what? That's why you are where you are in your business. Aside from that, Audiobooks are available on Kindle or any wireless device.
How do you want your overflow to look? Do you look like your overflow? When I leave the house, I make sure my face is made and I look decent. Whether it is jeans and a hoodie, I look decent. Lipstick and eyeshadow can make a world of difference. Because I was ready for change in my life, I cut my hair off-now I don't have to worry about weaves, etc. I can just moisturize and go. My overflow looks like she got it going on. I am more attentive to me and my vehicle. Even if you are struggling with one income, you don't have to look like it. Your current situation is temporary. It is time to look and walk in your overflow. If you don't know what you want your overflow to look like, take some time to write it down. Think like this, "My business can not prosper til I change ______" In other words, "What is holding you back?" Are YOU holding you back?
Are you speaking in your overflow? Every morning I say out loud:
Miracles are happening today
We have more than enough
I have positive, high paying clients
What do you say to your overflow? When you affirm yourself and your business, you are speaking to your overflow. There is life and death in the tongue. Watch your words. Words hurt and once they are spoken, they can't be taken back. Words matter. Speak positive, life-flowing words into your business and mean them. Speak with excitement when you discuss your business and mean it.
The truth is, we make time for what we want to make time for. AND no one else is going to invest more into your business than you are willing to. Make the time now to live in your overflow! It's a free investment.
