Why isn't my business growing as fast as I want it to? Why isn't growing as fast as other people who are in the same business? Does is feel like your business is growing by inches instead of feet?
If you want to break the cycle of feeling unaccomplished and unfulfilled, it's time to start focusing on what matters: you. You’ve been focusing your energy on the wrong things. If you are worried about others, you are not focused on yourself. I know this all too well because that used to be me. I would look to see what everyone else was doing and how they were doing it. I would spend my time watching what other business and relationship coaches were marketing and branding. But I realized I was wasting time worrying about everyone else and wasn't focusing enough on me.
After trying to be them for so long, I decided to give me a try. I started to believe I was just as good or better doing it my way. I embraced my own unique story, products and content, and I didn’t feel the need to copy anyone. You have to shine with your own tools and information and trust that you are enough. If you keep looking back, you will more than likely miss what's right in front of you. Stop comparing yourself to other people. You could go further if you focused on your own unique gifts, rather than getting stuck on what others do better than you. It’s time to stop comparing and start doing.
You got where you are today on your own merit, so you don’t need to worry about anyone else. Once you can let go of what’s holding you back, you'll be ready to be a BOSS:
B — Be yourself. Stop trying to be like other people. Play up your own strengths and not your weaknesses.
O — Opportunities are all around you, but you don’t see them when you’re too busy trying to be like someone else. Keep your eyes open.
S — Strengths are what you should focus on. The main reason people don’t get acknowledged or appreciated for what they do in business is that they are constantly trying to do things they are not good at or are trying to make it seem like they can do everything when they truly can’t.
S — Security is vital. You must be secure in who you are. You were born to be original with your own fingerprint, your own thoughts, your own creativity and your own devices -- so, stop being a copycat. You have everything you need inside of yourself, but you are too afraid to let it shine. Now is the time to change that.
My prayer for today: Heavenly Father, as I am waiting for growth, help me to not look around and compare my business to others'. Give me patience, help me to trust your process. I want to appreciate everything you have done for my business. Help me to fully appreciate right where I am and help me to see in my mind where I am headed. Like a captain steers his ship, please guide me Lord, steer me in that direction. Remind me that you are with me every step of the way. Help me to do what I need through you to see this business prosper. Let me be grateful every step of the way, because I know that you will move and elevate my business to where you want it. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen
