EPISODE 49 - ARE DISTRACTION AND COMPARISON STEALING FROM YOUR PROFIT? 3 THINGS TO STOP DOING IF YOU WANT TO SEE GROWTH IN YOUR BUSINESS

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE HERE:

As business owners, we can become so distracted, paralyzed by comparison and get pulled in so many different directions.

How do we stay focused on our Mission, our Vision and Goals in a world of chaos, distractions, shiny objects and one that allows us to compare ourselves to our peers, friends, acquaintances and strangers?

Today, Danielle goes over 3 things to STOP doing if you want to see growth in your business!

Three things to STOP doing if you want to see growth in your Business:

  1. Checking your e-mail first thing in the morning

    Checking your e-mail first thing can elevate stress and anxiety in your life - being intentional about checking your email after already starting your day helps you to prioritize profitable tasks.

  2. Mindlessly scrolling social media

    Social media is built to distract you and make you feel like you are not “enough”! Build boundaries around it - set timers, delete it from your phone at certain times of day, don’t keep your phone in another room, etc. 

  3. Saying “Yes” to everything

    When you say yes to everything, it keeps you from

    1) having time to focus on and prioritize what is most important in your business

    2) leaves you without personal time

    3) leads to burnout.

    Audit time spent and ask yourself “what tasks push my business forward?”

BONUS TIP: Stop doing everything yourself

When you do everything yourself for a long period of time, you WILL burn out. Start creating systems, dive into automation and outsourcing/delegating to a team if you don’t already have one. 

Another thing to consider is Collaborating with someone and creating mutually beneficial relationships where you can help each other! Maybe you are really good at SEO and you have a friend who’s got a really good design eye. Offer to help one another and exchange time helping one another. - It might take your friend only 10 min to whip up a Canva graphic whereas it would take you 3 hours - and vice versa with helping your friend improve her SEO on her website. 

  • Danielle encourages you to 1) get organized and 2) stay in your lane!
