5 Keys to Pushing Forward

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison

5 Keys to Pushing Forward

1.      Vision

What is your business all about? Do you know? Do you have it written down? When things get tough, turning to our vision keeps you going. Make sure you know it, your employees know it, and you live it every day.

2.      Direction

What are you going to do today, tomorrow, etc… Vision sets the big picture, direction sets today’s steps. If you fail to plan your day and your business, others will plan it for you.

3.      Reflection

When was the last time you just sat quite and thought about your business? You should start your day, every day, with this. It only takes 5-10 minutes. Reflect on yesterday, adjust, and plan for today.

4.      Balance

Sometimes on the hardest days, the best thing we can do is step away. Do you have balance in your life? Take time for hobbies, families, friends, fun, food… and they will remind you why you wanted to be in business for yourself in the first place.

5.      Wisdom

Invite others to speak into your lives and your business. Even the most powerful rulers and CEOs have advisors. Who has permission to speak wisdom in your life? Who can you share openly with about your worries, failures, and dreams?
