"Business is the art of taking someone else's idea, making it better, then making it yours."
- Unknown
All good business people are filled with great ideas. They invent, implement, test and determine next actions. They continually seek new ways to do more, better, faster and more efficiently. Occasionally, you can run out of ideas...(yes, it happens)
It is not uncommon for a writer to hit a block or an athlete to hit a slump. It does not mean they are not on track or losing their edge. Sometimes, it just means they need a shot of creativity and enthusiasm!
Just like the above, a business professional, may also need a boost of creativity to get them to the next level. They need to stop, sit, think and find ways to get to where they seek to be.
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP: What we are really talking about is taking the time to work ON your business, not just IN your business. We are talking about creating dedicated time, focused solely on the goal of creating better or new opportunities (that use existing resources or easily accessible ones)! We are talking about the 20% of your week that should be dedicated to IMPROVING your business.
Do you spend 20% of your week working on bettering your business? Attending trainings? Reading books? Doing sales role plays? Testing marketing messages? Looking at outsource vs insource opportunities?
If your business is growing stale or your ideas are becoming fewer and fewer - try spending more time working on how to BETTER your business and less time sending emails. It is the "freshness" of a business that keeps clients excited...not the volume of fulfillment forms you are able to generate in a month. :)
Cheers,
Zach
