10 Success Tips for Female Business Owners
10 Success Tips for Female Business Owners
1. Know Your WHY
For starters, make sure you know your WHY. Really understand the purpose behind your business. What you are working towards? What kind of positive impact do you want to create in this world? Create a clear vision and know your values, so you don’t lose sight of what’s important to you in 2020.
2. Surround Yourself with Inspiring People
As, Jim Rohn once said, "You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with." It is vital that you surround yourself with those who will empower you to be the best version of yourself in 2020.
3. Take Massive Action and Be Consistent
Get clear on what actions are going to make the biggest impact in your business and focus on those. The goal is not to work harder, but to work smarter, and then follow through with being consistent. Find a good schedule that works for you and stick to it. Once you find your momentum, things seem to flow, and there is a compound effect that starts to happen.
4. Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
Have you ever heard the saying, “No one grows inside their comfort zone”. It’s true. If you want to grow a successful business, you are going to have to do a lot of scary things that are WAY outside your comfort zone in 2020. Get comfortable being in that state and slowly your comfort zone will expand. Watch, because things that were once scary, will be suddenly become second nature!
5. Ask for Help
Let’s be honest for a minute… There is not one human on this planet that doesn’t need a little help every now and again. Don’t be ashamed and never let your pride hold you back from asking for it. In your journey, there will be many things you need help with, don’t be afraid to ask for help! We can’t do it all on our own and that is OKAY!
6. Trust Your Gut
When you are presented with an opportunity in the New Year, notice how you feel about it, what is your gut instinct? Advice I love to follow is if it’s not a ‘HECK YES’- then it should be a no. If you are still having trouble deciding, write it all down, and evaluate the pros and cons. This may help get you clear on your decision.
7. Stay in Your Genius Zone, Delegate the Rest
Figure out what you do best, and spend most of your time on that in 2020. Then find people who you trust, that you can delegate the tasks that drain your energy.
8. Be Patient
PS: Success does not happen overnight. I know it may seem like it, but anyone you see that is having success has put in long hours, has had many failures and setbacks, but kept on going, while understanding that they need to plant seeds, cultivate strong relationships, and see it through the long run.
9. Continue to Reinvent Yourself and Your Business
You are constantly changing and so is your business, and hey guess what, that is perfectly OKAY! Don’t be afraid to do things a bit differently or to completely reinvent yourself, or your business. I recommend doing quarterly check-ins to make sure you are still on the right path. If something is not resonating with you anymore or didn’t work like you thought, it’s okay to change and shift your direction. As long as you stay true to who you are and to your values, switching up your path is never a bad thing.
10. Enjoy the Journey
Most importantly, ENJOY yourself. Like truly and honestly enjoy yourself and love what you choose to put your energy into this year. After all, life is too short not to enjoy every single moment. Don’t take yourself too seriously and take care of your own well-being, first! Take time away from work to rest. Get out into nature, read a book you love, and set boundaries on your time!
