Give yourself permission… Here are three steps you can do today to exponentially explode your business, practically overnight

explode your business!Have you ever considered how small of a world we allow ourselves to operate in? Each of us has a different self-perceived box we play in. Some of us think bigger, take bigger risk, and as a result live in a “bigger box.” It’s still a box though.

I think it has something to do with permission.

Permission to be heard. Permission to be seen. Permission to show up and show up BIG.

Have you ever had a hard time deciding something and just didn’t feel that you were properly qualified or you didn’t feel confident in being the right leader for the task? So what did you do? Did you look for validating evidence or methods to see how “others” were doing it so you could do it the “right” way? Ever second guess yourself and then just not take action on an idea you completely feel inspired about because no one else was doing it?

Have you been resisting and suppressing the urge to bring out your story/gift/blessing in the form of a book?  You know that feeling, that internal gnawing? That internal voice that validates the box you live in, “You’re not an author. Who are you to write a book? What could you possibly share that people would want to read?”

How about a life-long passion (this can often be linked to your purpose or blessing too!) in your life that has been put on the shelf because you don’t have the time or you don’t know how to turn it into a profitable business? Or even better, you rationalize with yourself that you shouldn’t turn a profit with your purpose or passion and consequently you ignore it.

THIS is the box. This box exists because of the permission we give it and for the permission we seek when we’re constructing our next bigger box (those whom are productive are always building a bigger box).

The new way of business is transforming the collective size of this confined space.

Here are the three steps you can do today to exponentially explode your business, practically overnight.
(see leap out of the box)

  1. Block out ATLEAST one hour a day – don’t open your web browser (no email, facebook, twitter, no phone — no distractions) this is your time – pick only lucrative, irresistible possibilities “it just MIGHT happen”
  2. In that one hour of time each day – completely forget who you “think” you are and give yourself permission to be who you were born to be (don’t be silly, you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about).
  3. Take a deep breath. Rinse and repeat (complete 1 & 2 each day… duh).

Feel robbed that I only gave you two steps? Don’t be if you do both of these steps daily it will exponentially explode your business. Guaranteed.

A few of you MIGHT even say to yourself, I’m going to do that… sounds simple enough, investing an hour a day on irresistible possibilities – are you kidding me? I’m sooo worth it!

What I’ve found is that the intention to do this is a novel indeed however, like most good intentions, we squander them. Why? I propose that most of us aren’t creating the results we want BECAUSE we’re doing it alone or simply because we don’t have a process/system/support to maintain an appropriate level of consistency (and we hardly find ourselves creating new habits without help right?).

Just promise me one thing…

Commit to not doing it alone. Need help with this? Find a coach, business partner, supportive friend (who understands business) OR here’s an open invitation to ask me what I do. >Drop me a line here.<

A step in the wrong direction is better than staying on the spot all our life. Once you’re moving forward you can correct your course as you go. Your automatic guidance system cannot guide you when you’re standing still. ~Maxwell Maltz

quit wasting your effort

yes, you are wasting it… and a TON of it at that. I know I was when I was working a job I thought I loved. This new way of doing business is here to stay and one thing I suggest you consider is looking at the way you approach your day and specifically: what method you use to decide what you do/take action on.

See most people operate from probability. Calculated action. I could do this this or this and it has a high chance of creating this (X result) for me. Sounds familiar right? But what great work are you ever going to create, and how much fun are you ACTUALLY having operating from such a weak, scared, and safe place. Really think about it. Hey I know how to play the game – I can pretend, put my mask on, and strut my stuff like no one’s business but at the end of the day I have to live with my results… so do you.

How about when you sit down to decide what you’re going to do you put aside your “to-do list”, things that are urgent, and your “job or business” work and you approach something my business partner and I call Irresistible Possibilities – things that aren’t certain, but you could somehow MAYBE you even just MIGHT be able to pull that action off and start there.

the new way of doing business

I love sharing. In fact, I have a deep-seeded hardwired need to bring my best message out to others that can get some use out of it (marketers like to call this value). Long story short: I’ve had a damn hard time figuring out what my best true message is. I’m sure someone out there can relate to what I’ve been experiencing!

But needless to say, I’ve FOUND my core message, or more truthfully – my message found ME. There’s a new way of doing business and looking back it has been what I’ve always been about, but for lack of a better analogy like an athlete playing the wrong sport, I haven’t been able to truly shine until I changed up my game. enough about me.

There is a new economy (duh) and as a result a new way of doing business. There are a TON of reasons for this, most of which are great topic for debate and absolutely interesting debate at that but if you can agree that the economy is new then I imagine you can agree that with this new economy rises a new way for commerce (goods/services) to interact within it.

My message for this blog is to communicate what is and what is NOT working and the new shift businesses will fundamentally need to shift towards to thrive in these new times. Prepare yourself, there is a new way of doing business and in this space it’s crazy, bold, and ridiculously rewarding.
