Review. Reflect. Refocus.
Review, reflect and refocus… a three-step process for stepping back into or upping your game. And since we’re smack bang in the middle of 2021 it IS the perfect time to do just that.
The great news is, that what I’m about to share is valuable at any time of the year. For moments when you’re feeling stuck and out of alignment and when you NEED to gain clarity on how to move forward.
Review
Put your business under the microscope to see how far you’ve come during the last six months. Celebrate all that you’ve achieved (big and small) and the growth and transformations you’ve experienced. Make a note of each and every win. Celebrate and happy dance for everything you’ve experienced. Including each and every new subscriber to your mailing list and follower on your social media platforms. I bet you’ll be surprised at how many wonderful moments there has been and how far you have come.
During the review step, it’s also important to notice what hasn’t happened and the goals you haven’t reached. We often avoid doing this for fear of feeling frustrated or disappointed but sometimes the reasons why these things haven’t happened is a positive one.
When you look at your business as a whole you can more easily see which elements aren’t quite working. Meaning you can make changes that create momentum rather than band-aid solutions that will hold you stuck.
Reflect
Next, check-in with your plans and aspirations for the year and ask yourself if you’re still on track. How do you currently feel about the business? Do your remain excited and passionate about the services you provide? Do the numbers of the business still work for you? Are you designing a business that is moving you towards who you want to be, what you want to do and what you want to have? Think about whether your original plans are still in alignment with all of this.
You may discover that you have changed. Or the business has grown in a direction that you hadn’t originally considered or thought possible. And so, your plans and goals may need adjusting to reflect this. I also recommend during this step that you check in with who your five-star client is, just in case this is now different.
Finally before moving on, does or WILL your business still enable you to live your best life. And if not, go back to step one!
Refocus
Using the information you have gained from the first two steps you can now decide on what the priorities are and what action you WILL take. Where your focus is needed and the projects that you’ll now give your attention. You WILL decide what needs to change and where you may need to invest to ensure all elements of your business are working towards your new awesome plans, goals and aspirations.
Finally… make the decision, commit and take the action and do this knowing that it will:
- Create momentum
- Open up opportunities
- Allow you to be open to possibilities you hadn’t previously imagined.
