801 - The Moment My Business Needed a Course Correction and How I Realigned It

Description

In this episode, I share the honest moment when I reached the end of September and realized my business was not heading in the direction I wanted.

I walk you through the course correction that followed, the clarity that came from a deep review of my life and work, and the renewed alignment that shaped the path forward.

You’ll hear the full story behind how I realigned my business and the exact process I will now use for my quarterly reviews.

Episodes Mentioned in This Conversation

Journal Prompts For My Quarterly Review

What story am I telling myself about who I am and the work I'm doing in the world?

Does this story empower me to show up, meet a need presented in the marketplace with validated products and services, and do so in a way that feels aligned and fulfilling?

Have I drifted or slipped back into a hypnotic rhythm in any of the following categories?

  • Physical Fitness
  • Intentional Eating
  • Business Income and Profit
  • Nurturing existing client relationships
  • Planting seeds to establish and nurture new relationships
  • Content production

If drifting has occurred, what can I learn about the cause of the drift? What patterns can be observed and disrupted?

For each area that needs improvement, use this strategy:

  1. Describe the current results.
  2. Create a mind map of the perfect system that created the undesired result(s).
  3. Describe the desired outcome, moving forward from here.
  4. Create a mind map of the ideal system that will achieve the desired outcome.
  5. Create a strategy to implement and track this new system.
  6. Identify any limiting beliefs, or a narrative in my mind, that may be blocking me from taking action in this new system.
