Stop squeaking! Line up for business success!

Even for an extraordinary entrepreneur like yourself, from time to time, you may lose motivation to continue expanding a service or product line. At some point, it may seem like you have a hard time understanding why this once-fantastic business that got you so excited every morning is making you feel like a heavyweight now.

Do you remember the last time you heard that screeching sound in your car? What happened? The parts are not aligned and there was no lubricant, so there was tension, there was an unpleasant sound. If you don’t fix it quickly, there will be smoke and a frustrated you.

The same is true when all of your business tasks are not aligned with your vision, mission, and values. In your soul, you experience that “squeaky” feeling that you have a hard time explaining.

Most of us are familiar with having a clear vision and mission, so I won’t go into that here.

Today I would like to talk to you about your values.

Before investing more time and effort to take your business to a fascinating new level, you must first reassess what your core values ​​are, how you prioritize them within yourself. And see if your business activities support and are aligned with the priority of your values.

Let’s say you just became a parent. He used to travel a bit to talk to specific groups of people to market his business. Now to take your business to the next level, you need to travel, talk, and network more often.

But family life is at the top of his priority list, higher than business or career success. Therefore, whenever your job requires you to travel for a large amount of time, your inner self experiences misalignment. You can still go ahead and do what your “head” tells you to do, but your heart is focused on your worth. When your head pulls your entire body to do what it tells you to, your heart begins to send you signals that if you don’t make the adjustments, you won’t be in good health any longer. The heart sends signals by lowering your enthusiasm, motivation, and self-esteem. You start to see yourself getting depressed more easily, you feel lonely, not understood, and you feel that you are easily angered or blamed for shutting up your emotions.

One of the easiest ways to find out what your values ​​are and what priority they are on is to make a “Wish List.”

Ask yourself or have a trusted friend ask you, “What do you want?” Then start jotting down your answer list.

Don’t judge yourself on your wishes. You need to create a safe and open environment for yourself so that your true self is exposed. Don’t be embarrassed to say, “I want to own a lakeside home with an incredible view of the mountains and a dock to launch your own boat.” Now, “I want to be a millionaire.” Now, “I want to be a famous dancer!” Let things flow.

Let the same question arise for 10-15 minutes. You may start to get bored with the same question, but you can start to see what is hidden under those wishes. Your initial “wishes” are really saying, “I want to be recognized.” “I want to be respected and trusted.” “I wanted to be loved by members of my family.” “I want to be understood and loved by my true self” “I want to make a difference in this world.”

Your wishes and desires express your values.
