Are You Wanting Change?

Are You Wanting Change?

Are you wanting to change things that aren’t working in your life??In this article I will be discussing the four phases every business goes through, and how to manage each phase from a personal development perspective.?

Limbo?

Exploring new opportunities, and?feeling a little uncertain, lost and groundless. Now would be the perfect time to do research and introspection on past mistakes. Take responsibility for what went wrong and face your fears by taking on new challenges. This?phase cannot be rushed; you need to be patient. This cycle can last anything from six months to two years.

Starting?

You are committing to something new that could take anything from five to ten years to take off. This is the time for networking, mastering new skills, exploring, creating and building. There is fear of failure and self-doubt because you are learning new skills. Stay focused on your training, build good habits and execute something new every day. Self-discipline is essential.

Peak

All your hard work and holding onto your beliefs is coming to fruition. There could be self-doubt and self-sabotage at this stage. You could become too arrogant or complacent. Celebrate your success and keep doing what has been working, rather than trying to innovate or expanding too fast. It is also vital that you emotionally prepare yourself for the next phase, which could be a downturn.

End

Projects that used to excite you no longer do and you feel unhappy and unfulfilled. Energy and motivation has dropped. Depression and isolation may happen, which leads you back into limbo. Accept that everything comes to an end, acknowledge your achievements, growth and gains. You have changed, so don’t be too attached to the old. Know when and how to walk away. Tie up loose ends and take time to be introspective.

The quiet periods are when you could be growing on the inside, which sets you up to take action on the outside when you move into a new phase again. Don’t resist any of the phases. Be willing to be lost and confused, explore new opportunities, trust you will find the new chapter.
