Making Scary Moves in Your Business

There is nothing in life (besides parenting) that will stretch you more personally and professionally than being a business owner.? I’ve been in the game of entrepreneurship for 15 years and I am still constantly being challenged to grow every single day of my life.

But here’s the real truth.? Unless you are actively making scary moves in your business, you will likely never grow your business to the level you desire.? Our willingness to step out of our comfort zone is proportionate to our business growth.

Maybe you can relate to this scary story.? One of my new clients, a midlife coach, made a bold decision to invest in our services.? She had built her business to six figures on her own, but now she was experiencing stagnation.? Family members were in her ear, telling her that her business will never work.? Financial pressures were weighing on her and causing her to feel stuck.? But she did what she tells all her midlife clients to do - step out of your comfort zone and take scary steps.? Now she has an experienced business partner that is supporting her dreams and helping her take the “right” actions for her business growth.

So in honor of Halloween, I want to encourage you to make some scary moves in your business. Here are 10 ideas for you to choose from…

1. Invest in a business professional or team to support you and take things off your plate.
2. Increase your visibility by showing up more online.
3. Evaluate your mindset and get honest with yourself about what is holding you back.
4. Hire a business coach that will help you reach your business goals.
5. Look for ways to automate your business so you don’t have to work so hard.
6. Put boundaries in place to protect your time and energy.
7. Raise your prices.
8. Say no to anyone and everything that is not aligned with your truest self.
9. Narrow your niche or specialize in your offerings.
10. Learn something new that you think is hard.
