What does it mean to be driven in your business

If you're the owner of a business, you know that you have a lot on your plate. But if you want to be successful, you need to be driven. That's right: driven! What does it mean to be driven in your business? It means having passion for what you do every day and working hard every day to make sure that passion is visible in everything you do. It also means getting out of your comfort zone by communicating with customers and other stakeholders in ways that allow them to feel comfortable doing business with your company—and being open and honest while doing so.

A desire to succeed

There's a lot of room for interpretation when it comes to the word "success." Some people define success as earning enough money to live comfortably. Others might say that success means having a certain amount of influence or prestige within their industry. It depends on your personal definition, but whatever you decide it is, you should be able to answer these questions:

• What do I want to achieve?
• What are my goals?
• What are my priorities?
• Am I willing to sacrifice anything in order to achieve those goals and priorities?

Being driven means you have a passion for your business and its place in the market.

When we talk about being driven, it means that your business is an extension of yourself. It means you care more about the success of your business than any other individual element of it.

Your passion for your business should be inextricably linked with how you feel about:

• Your customers
• The product or service that you offer them
• The people who work for you

Ambition

Ambition has a lot of definitions, but at the core of all of them is the need to succeed. To be ambitious means you take risks and put in the hard work necessary to achieve your goals. It means that you're not afraid to dream big, no matter how crazy it might sound or how difficult it may be. Ambition is about being passionate about your business and its place in the market, as well as taking chances on new opportunities when they arise.

Getting out of your comfort zone

• Be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
• Make mistakes.
• Learn from your mistakes.

Communication skills

To be a driven business owner, you must be able to communicate. This means being able to effectively communicate with your team, customers and family. Here are some tips for doing that:

• Make sure everyone knows what's going on. Let them know if there are any changes or challenges coming down the pipeline and how they can help you through them.
• Always have an open-door policy (or something similar). If an employee is having problems at home or work and needs someone to talk to about it, be available for them by setting aside time in your schedule just for this purpose. You won't get that time back—you'll only waste it worrying about how long this employee has been sitting outside of your office door waiting while they think up excuses not to come inside!
• Don't allow others' bad behavior affect how much communication happens within your company; if someone doesn't want you telling others about something important—that's their problem (and probably why they're acting out).

If you want to be the best, you need to be the most driven.

For many people, the word “driven” can have a negative connotation. It evokes images of workaholics who never take time off and obsess over their projects 24/7. If you are one of those people, I apologize for using the term in this article. However, if you’re driven in a healthy way—and there is such a thing—being motivated and constantly looking for ways to improve your business will help you reach your goals faster than just going through the motions every day. Here are some tips for becoming more driven without being obsessive:

Conclusion

The bottom line is that being driven means you have a passion for your business and its place in the market. It's about ambition, getting out of your comfort zone, communication skills and so much more. If you want to be the best, then you need to be driven to succeed! What are you doing?
