A Method to Grow Your Business
Since November, my mentor has been working with me to identify ways to expand and enhance my business. I have worked in my business long enough to develop routines and have outlined the way I operate with clients in my procedures. Now that my business processes are subconscious habits, my mentor and I worked in a new area for me to expand. In this article I will share some ideas on business expansion using your thoughts, emotions and actions.
Once projects are completed to a polished finish from a subconscious routine it is time to consider expansion. Another indication is when unexpected incidents fail to interrupt progress. In this expansion work, my mentor asked me to think about what type of work I loved doing. I examined my actual work, the conversations I enjoyed, and the people liked being around. These considerations led to my decision (a precise thought) to work with people that are participating in lifting human consciousness. My goal for work changed to helping to broadcast intelligence that expands human awareness to as many people as possible.
After the thought was clearly formed, my mentor gave me the next assignment. Choose an industry that contributes to lifting awareness and dialogue with them to see what their work is and what would help them. These actions led me to meet a wide range of interesting people. In these activities (actions) I worked on the third part of this development process, which was choosing people I naturally enjoyed (emotions). Although all of these people were involved in lifting awareness, our human configurations were different. I connected with some people instantly while other conversations were absent chemistry (emotions). Like Quiznos and Subway, these professionals shared the same general goal but their methods generated a different response from me.
After six months of personal work, I and my business have matured to another point. My business contributes to human evolution by promoting the messages of those that teach personal awareness and emotional intelligence. Now each packet I send is refreshing, each letter or response I send on behalf of a client is like the first one ever sent because my work is more than the finished product it is my contribution to humanity. Some of my work is the same and some has changed but all of it is more fun and interesting to me because my work is about participating in human growth and understanding. Each day is new.
My Bottom Line
Once your business is successfully operational it is a good time to grow to the next level. Use your thoughts to specifically choose what you really enjoy doing and explore ways to do more of it daily. Employ your actions and emotions to customize this enjoyable work by getting involved in some way (i.e. when I talked with people that taught personal awareness). This process will take your business to the next level of growth from the inside out. Today I encourage you to join a professional organization in your industry. If you can join their mentoring program or get a mentor in your industry through another source. This has been one of the best experiences for me and I hold you in thought to have the same or better experience to grow your business (your life legacy).
