Business Hub Consultant in Colorado Springs

When John and Jane (not their real names) and I first met, they told me their overwhelming story. And, as I listened, I also watched the looks on their faces. Then, I said, “Ok, let’s look at this objectively. Because it’s clear that momentum isn’t going your way.”

I could see they had enormous pressures in their business. And in their personal lives. Plus, they kept telling me how totally overwhelmed they felt. And they just couldn’t see which way to go or how to proceed. They kept getting slammed with unexpected circumstances. And they felt helpless to handle it all. And that’s why they contacted me. For some guidance. So I said…

“Let’s get back to the basics and get things going your way again.”

Then, I shared a sports analogy. When pro teams feel the momentum shifting away from them, they often take a time out. So, I said, “Start with a time out. Take a breath. Get a good drink of water. And then, we’ll make a plan.”

Because once you have a game plan it’s so much easier to get momentum going your way again. Otherwise, you’ll be like an athlete running up and down the field or court with no idea which end is which.

And running like that is just wasted energy. That’s true in your business, too. Maybe you’ve been guilty of “busy work.” You know, that work you do that doesn’t propel your business forward. But at least it makes you feel like you’re doing something. Right? But that kind of work isn’t why you started your business. And surely, it isn’t how you envisioned yourself.
