Recently, I was asked the question, “Are you still coaching and consulting?” in reference to my recent break in offering public classes. The tone given when asked this question was intended to discredit the power of taking a pause to reorganize and add structure to your business. How many of you know that you sometimes have to pause your plan in order to play. When I mention play, I am not saying you are having fun, but instead a player in the game of business. There are several ways to organize your business process but every once in a while you must stop to analyze your efforts to become efficient.
To begin you must ask yourself about the different business stages you may be in. Ask, what stage are you at with your business? Are you at a pause? If so, it’s time to adjust your plan or create a plan to get you moving. Are you at the re-define stage? If so, make sure you are adding details to your plan to add clarity. These are the necessary steps that allow you to succeed.
Always remember that timelines are your own. Never feel pressured to move faster than you are able. Your ultimate goal in business and in life is to create consistency, allowing you to move to the next level. Take your time when creating your offerings to attain your goals.
