I want to give you an idea that I think will help you grow yourself as well as your business. Being that all of us are entrepreneurs, we are the boss. Yikes! We are in charge of ourselves and what I've found is that it's very easy to not do anything. If we aren't very disciplined, a couple of years can go by and we find our business isn't what we want it to be because we just didn't do many things that grow a business. We wanted to but it just didn't happen.
One of the most powerful things we can do to help ourselves be productive is to ask ourselves good questions, which is what Faye and I have done over the years as we're talking about our business. We find ourselves asking questions -
Do we have goals? Do I have them on paper?
What do we want our business to look like next year at this time?
Am I doing the right things that grow this business?
Who are we working with that is serious about building? We always want to have 2 or 3 who are serious. Who are they?
Is it time again for me to find some new people to work with?
Can I do better? Am I getting better?
How many appointments did I have last month?
How many meetings did we have last month?
I think you get the idea. Asking ourselves good questions is a major factor for having growth. I have a suggestion for you. Sit down this week and ask yourself some simple but important questions. Remember, if it is to be it is up to me. You're the boss! Make asking yourself questions a part of your plans for growth.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
