Did you ever wonder why History was a required subject in school? After all, what's past is past and there is nothing you can do about it.
However, in order to make incremental improvements in your business (and your life), it's important to think about what you have done in the past and build upon your successes - and forget about your failures.
If you are dissatisfied with your business, it's only natural to feel that EVERYTHING needs to be overhauled. Before you do that, figure out what's WORKING for you. List 4 things that are working for you in your business that are fine just the way they are. Jot down the reason each is going well and remind yourself of the good job you are doing.
It might be that you have a great team within your office; you have developed a good relationship with your wholesale reps; you are second-to-none when it comes to networking, etc.
Wherever you are going, start where you are right now.
Change begins with self-awareness and over the next 5 issues, we will provide some important questions to ask yourself to help you assess your business future. The only requirement is that you find about 15-minutes of quiet time to reflect upon your answers.
Print this page and complete as soon as you have the time. Involve other people (if you have to) to remind you - because we tend to focus on the negatives and not the positives.
