Today’s post will be talking about tactics on how to grow your homecare business or strategies. It's about having the right mindset.
The reason why that's important because you can have all the strategies and all the tactics in the world, but if you don't have this one thing, or if you're not willing to do this one thing, you're gonna limit your success.
And that could be the reason why if you are struggling in your business, or if you've not been able to break through to that next level of success.
It's holding you back. So what is the one thing? Well, let me tell you a story first.
Losing Motivation during a Hardship
So I don't know if you guys have ever had this happen, where you're like out marketing you get to a point when it’s already 3 o'clock or 4 o’clock and you are just like,
“I'm not gonna go to this next place. They never let me in there. I'm just tired. It's gonna close since it’s near the end of the day anyway.”
It's been busy, or you've been running around in your business and you know, you need to make a few more phone calls or you'd like to make a few more phone calls. But you're just like, “I'm just done. I'm cooked. I've had enough today.”
That was me for a long time. Like I would tell myself stories as to why I shouldn't go over to Medicare or some other facilities that I've tried to get into for a long time and just had been having trouble.
I just talked myself out of it. You know, the day is over so time to call it done for today.
I realized that that's exactly the problem.
I'm not judging here because I've been there myself. What I find is that a lot of business owners, and people in general are just not willing to do what's hard. They're not willing to go that extra mile even.
This is especially true when they're tired, when they're just spent and they feel like they're just not willing to push through to that other side. What happens is that they don’t make that extra call or two or pick up the phone and call the pending client list that they have.
They're not willing to do that, and as a result they're limiting their growth.
An Important Lesson: Successful People Work Hard regardless of what they’re facing
Things would change for me during one seminar from my mentor Tihar Becker. It’s during that seminar where I would learn one of the most important life lessons in my life.
In this seminar, he talked about the difference between successful people and people who aren't as successful. One thing he pointed out is that the people who are successful are willing to do what's hard. They're willing to act in spite of their moods.
So even when you're tired even when you feel like I just don't want to make another call. I just don't want to do this.
They push through it, and they do it anyway. That makes the difference between that next level of success.
Turning things around
After hearing that lesson, that’s the time when I decided that I’d apply that same lesson to my own business and personal life.
The results were simply amazing. All of a sudden it feels like that the universe recognizes my effort and it starts to reward me for my behaviors.
So I can give you a couple of examples because there were times where I truly did not feel making an extra call.
Going to that facility that I know is not met before and then all of a sudden, I pushed through to that other side. Miraculously it didn't just happen once. It started happening consistently. Facilities even like other businesses that I've had, where every time I'm willing to go that extra mile and do what’s difficult. I get rewarded for my efforts.
So I want you to sit and think about that for yourself. Like really be honest with yourself and don't lie don't make up excuses.
In your life and in your business. Are you not willing to do what's hard? Are you not willing to push through to the other side? When you're exhausted? Where in your life and your business are you doing that? Is it holding you back? Yes, it is. You just don't know that it is, so take a look.
Today, my challenge for you is to look in your life and in your business and see where you're doing those things.
Next time you feel that moment, I want you to take the courage and push through to the other side and start staying open to the results.
You'll be amazed what happens.
So that's my message for today. I hope it resonates with you.
