Are you Following your Passion in your business?
Are you following your Passion?
I’m always amazed by how many ladies start a business with the ‘shiny object’ syndrom!
They either start because of
- They are in dire need of money, and jump into the first home business that comes along
- Are told by others ‘you would be great at this’ so they have an ego boost and join
- or They want to get their fix at a discount, uh, not realizing they are joining a business!
Whatever the reason for joining a business….ladies will STAY in a business, thrive in a business and YES make a tonne of moolah in a business with one big criteria….PASSION!
Here are a few questions to ask yourself if you are indeed in your business because of passion…or just because you had ‘shiny object’ syndrom!
Question number 1: Do you wake up each and every day, so happy to get started in the new possibilities of your business?
Question number 2: Are you excited to talk to your customers for customer service or does it scare the bullwacky out of you?
Question number 3: Where are you at in your business plan (if you even have one) to help keep you aligned with your passion?
Question number 4: Are you able to say in one sentence what you Love to do, and how you Love to help others get what they want?
Question number 5: Do random people say, ‘hey, I would love more information about what you do, let’s have a coffee’.
Lots of people do start a business because they are Passionate about it….but over time that passion can fizzle out! Take a serious look at where you are right now…right HERE!
Think about the feelings that you had when you started your business, the Excitement, the Knowing that is was meant for YOU, the giddy feeling of who you wanted to SHARE it with! That is where the Passion started and that is what you need to BE feeling to keep it going Strong!
Sometime though we lose a little of that passion, a few negative (but I’m sure well meaning) comments from friends, family or people we work with can put a damper on that passion. Or how about when we had a pfffftttt home party with little or no sales?
When that happens you need to surround yourself with some Positive Perspective!
Some cheerleaders who will say, ‘you can do it!’….’you are worth it!’….and sometimes you just need a few ideas to help get you back on track! Excited all to bits and pieces!
If you feel that your passion has been side-tracked and you need a few more ideas to help bring that back into your life….then stay tuned for my next upcoming TeleSeminar which will give you some great tips and ideas for making your summer Rock OUT! (and help you prepare for your fall!)
After all, it’s easy to keep with your passion when your business is rocking, it’s not so easy when you are too scared to even pick up the phone!
