Change is a fact of your business life and how you handle it will determine your success or failure. In my Coaching Tip today let’s talk about change and what you can do to make it work for you.
Staying relevant is key, and you do that by keeping current with changes in the marketplace, the industry and the world. Often you can influence change, whilst other things are out of your control. Especially in our current global climate the uncertainty of what will happen next can be daunting, for your clients and your business. What you can control is the way you work and the service you provide.
You create your own vision for what you want to do and where you want to be, but how far ahead are you projecting? What kind of framework have you built to get there, step by step? You should be looking 25 years ahead, which seems like a long time, but here’s how that works: Take your age and add 25 years to it. When you are that age, where do you want to be in your life? Once you envision this fully you can begin to build a framework to take you there. It becomes less about what you want to achieve and more about what’s really important to your life. You’ll make better decisions once you understand the core essence of what it is you really want to do.
Once you establish that vision for your life and take control of your actions going forward, then the chaos and upheaval around you doesn’t matter. Living your life with purpose and direction is what’s most important. Changes become opportunities for growth, progression and success. You can decide how to change the way you prospect, work with customers, and advance your business. And you can decide for yourself whether you’re going to drive change or it’s going to drive you.
I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s Coaching Tip, and I look forward to seeing you here again next week.
