Moving forward by looking backwards and not falling down

Business Hub Consultant in Colorado Springs Posted on by

I saw these two quotes this morning as I was checking out the daily news. And they’re perfect examples of how you should think about moving forward. The first one is from Winston Churchill…

“The further backward you look, the further forward you can see.”

And here’s one from Steve Jobs…

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards”

Moving forward by looking backwards

In other words, moving forward requires looking backward.

Can that be right?

It seems a little counterintuitive. Right? I don’t know about you, but almost every time I’ve ever been looking backwards as I was walking, I tripped and almost fell. Or DID fall. And it’s so embarrassing. You almost always look around to see if anyone saw you looking like a dufus.

But those quotes from Winston Churchill and Steve Jobs aren’t about actual physical forward motion. Well, sort of. But it’s more about making sure your life (and your business) continue to have forward progress.

So, how does looking backwards help?

Well, when you look back, you can see where you did things right. And wrong. And you can “connect the dots,” as Steve said, and do more of the right things and less of the wrong things.

It falls under the category of “those who don’t learn from the past are destined to repeat it.”

And Winston Churchill’s idea of looking backwards “further” just means you have more data for connecting more of those dots. And guess what that becomes?

Your System

But systems take quite a bit of work to set up, implement, and test. So, you’ll need to invest your time (or hire someone) to set it up for your business. Then, you’re off to the races…so to speak.

Or…you could plug your business into my RondaReady system and get started right away. Because I’ve already done a lot of that work for you.

And I’ve set up a system that lots and lots of business owners have already used with results nothing short of amazing. Like Frank, who’s selling his business faster and for more money because the new owner loves how it’s already systemized.

So, when you’re ready to connect the dots for you and your business, book a free 30 minute call with me. And together we’ll see if my system is right for you. Because I truly do wanna help you…

Stay Ready,
Ronda

About Ronda

After 14 years in a management position for a large corporation in the same industry, Ronda decided to make a change. She wanted to explore something besides what her insurance background offered. The benefits of self-employment certainly interested her... * More time with her family, * Doing what she loved, and * Making more money Ronda looked for opportunity, and became a partner in a small business in early 2000. She observed how unpredictable their lead generation and profits were and decided to make an intense study of the industry. Before long, she mastered all the technical details of the business. Once immersed in formal training, coaching, and implementation...she discovered how to build a better business. She developed and integrated a new business model with an emphasis on referrals. Over time, Ronda's consistent, reliable, and predictable marketing strategies created clearly defined roles for all operational components of the company. And that lead to an increased overall production of 82% over the next 6 years. Gross annual profits increased from $310,000 to $1.7M in 4 years. The business opened second and third divisions. In 3 years those divisions earned over $4M. News of those successes got around. And Ronda was approached by several small business owners and entrepreneurs. They wanted to know her "business secrets". She started taking on clients who were willing to do what it takes to be true business owners and create business profits. Since then, Ronda has helped scores of clients convert their business owner dreams into reality.
