Taking action is the golden key that opens the door to opportunity. When you do not take action, your business begins to suffer. Images that come to mind are: stale bread, a statue, or something sinking into quick sand. I am sure that is not what you want to happen to you. A business that is thriving and surviving the roller coaster rides of life is in constant motiont. Why? You need to build on momentum to keep your business moving in the direction you want.
What would happen if you stopped:
- updating your website?
- using social media?
- your business for 5 years and tried to come back to it?
- networking?
- follow up with new prospects?
- appreciating your current customers?
- selling your products or services?
Not much. You’re right – not much at all because you would not have a business – it would not last!
You need to set goals and breakdown each goal into smaller steps that you need to take each day. Maybe one day you can only fit in two follow up phone calls with potential clients and the next day you can only write 3 blog posts and attend a networking event. That’s okay! Do not be so hard on yourself. You are taking intentional steps toward your goals. Some people do not even do that.
What matters is that you are focusing your energy where the revenue generates and your list builds. You can only do that by serving your customers in the best possible way by providing value. What is in it for them? They want to know. Take action and let them know why what you do is so important and watch the results!
Consistent efforts will get you where you want to go much faster than stopping all together.
Keep moving in your business! Make things happen!
