Setting goals isn’t a new idea, especially in business. You probably have revenue goals, programming or service goals, and goals related to the number of people you want to serve through your business. All of those are great and necessary things, but as entrepreneurs, we can’t focus only on those external goals and ignore internal things like mindset and passion.
As an entrepreneur, you are the heart and soul of your business. If you aren’t connecting with your passion consistently, you will experience burnout and your business will suffer as a result. So, as a reminder for you to take a second look at the goals you’ve set for yourself and your business, here are two suggestions to add to your list of goals so you can show up better for yourself and your business.
- Work on your Money Mindset. How you relate to money has a big impact on your finances, both personal and business. Your money mindset develops over time. You probably hold some beliefs about money today that were developed during your childhood. Your money mindset falls into one of two categories: scarcity or abundance.
A scarcity mindset believes there isn’t enough money to go around. You might believe you cannot change your current money situation because you may be focused on limitations. On the other hand, an abundance mindset provides you with an understanding that there are plenty of resources for everyone to achieve what they desire. A key principle of the abundance mindset is positivity––you can always be moving in a positive direction towards growth and possibility. Believe your finances can be abundant and you are halfway there.
- Know your Why. When the going gets tough, you must remember the motivation behind your business. Every action you take in your business should be focused on your why. After a year as challenging as 2020, it’s easy to get discouraged and lose track of what you are working toward. However, if you know why you do what you do, you’ll feel more confident in your work and that will be reflected in your business.
For me, I started my business almost 11 years ago because I wanted to contribute to my family’s income and be there for my children. That “why” has driven me to keep working and growing my business, even when it’s difficult. I’ve found that having my own business and creating success for myself has made an impact on my children. Understanding the why behind starting my own business changed my life! Now, my passion and mission is to help other women learn how to generate their own incomes for their families and be there for their children in the way they want.
