TAKE THE INITIATIVE

KEEP MOVING FORWARD
It all begins with a business vision. There are two other requirements. Having a vision is not enough; you have to be obsessed by your desire to make your vision a reality. The second is discipline.
Small business owners who want to make something happen don’t get sidetracked by the challenges of the present. One must constantly remind themselves where they are going. Your vision has to be seen. Make copies of it and post it everywhere you spend your time, not just on your desk, but on your bathroom mirror so you see it first thing every morning. Every time you see your vision, say it out loud.
Making something happen requires action on your part:
- The foundation to building discipline is to form good habits. The Accountability Tracker found in the Tuesday Challenge Section of your BizQuack Dashboard is the best resource to start a discipline to make something happen. Building this important foundation habit requires using the Accountability Tracker every day for a twelve week period. At the end of that time I promise that you will notice a positive change in progress towards your vision and perhaps even your bottom line.
- At the end of the twelve week program you will find that you are more passionate about achieving your vision. Consequently, your energy level will grow as will your motivation to succeed.
- Taking action also means that you must try to create a specific outcome for each action that you take. For example, don’t leave a meeting with a prospect without setting a definite “next meet time.” At a networking session, if you meet someone that matches your carefully defined target market, don’t say I will call you and set an appointment, set another meeting right there.
- For every item you list on your daily Accountability Tracker, make sure that there is an action that occurs as a result of your achievement. Take a few minutes and jot down the results for each of the three daily action items.
This self-discipline process will have the biggest impact on reaching your vision. It doesn’t cost any money yet the achievement of these few steps will move your business forward like nothing else.
