How Honest are Yourself in your Business
As a Business owner or M.D. you’ve achieved some success in your business. It’s been challenging, and moving from initial growth to the plateau stage and then moving toward further growth has been scary. To grow further means risk. There is a thrill and satisfaction in challenging yourself, stretching and seeing how much you can achieve. But how do you mitigate that risk?
Knowledge, skill, talent and drive that have got you to where you are now, may not get you any further. There is possibly a missing link somewhere!
The link that progresses you to that next stage of business growth because you’ve invested, time, energy and money into your business.
You’ve invested time into networking and building new relationships.
What is the missing link that will help you push past the plateau and continue growing at a consistent rate.

The way we do business, and business success, is entirely different now than say two years ago. With such rapid changes, we need to be nimble enough to adjust, how and what we do.
Change is difficult. However, two questions you should be asking yourself,
- Am I willing to change what is not working in my Business?
- Do I believe change is good just to make things better?
If you can answer these questions honestly, then you have the ability to be nimble and make the necessary changes.
Having the answer is the first part, putting Actions into place to make the changes is the second and most difficult aspect though! Quite often Business owners try and do everything all at once. This is a recipe for disaster. Take small steps. Small steps toward your goal. It won’t be overwhelming taking small steps.
I think then you will find that these qualities become evident in your Business.
- I am an independent kind of person.
- Self-confidence helps me be the best.
- I like gamesmanship and competition.
- I have a winning attitude.
When you understand you have these qualities, then it is not so overwhelming.
However, let’s be honest. Even when you have the right qualities, it’s difficult running a business, especially if you are on your own, or the team aren’t functioning in the way they should be to help grow the business.
There is so much to do every day, and only so much time to do it in. Juggling all aspects of the Business can be overwhelming.
However, when you have the two “E’s” in your Business….
- Entrepreneurial attitude and way of thinking made me great.
- Effectiveness will allow me to win!
Then the opportunity to expand and grow the business in the right way and in the right direction are the seeds that move you forward to be a great business operator. Learning never stops.
What are your thoughts?
Is change good?
Are we nimble enough to keep up with the changes?
Are you willing to make the changes, yet it’s difficult to change because the change is so rapid?
