If not now, when?

by chuckfasnacht, posted in Uncategorized

It’s easy to put off a major decision isn’t it? I know I’ve done that from time to time. Haven’t most of us?

This time of year I like to review the goals with which I started the year and reframe or rethink how I want my life to change in the coming year. Recently, I saw a post that reminded me of what I got WRONG in the past when setting a new business plan or personal goal. So this year, please join me in doing it better.

Step1: Pray about it first! I’m going to seek Gods help in setting goals first. In the past I would set a goal and then ask my higher power to bless my ideas. This year, get God in on the action early. Let’s have our higher power help us with wisdom and direction.

Step 2: Grab a copy of my book! Can adding process improvements and systems improve your control over outcomes? Whether your starting a new business or scaling an existing project or business you can always learn new ways to apply your talents. Available on Amazon or at my blog.

Step 3: Make a plan! Simple. Clear. Steps.

Have a blessed day and be a blessing!

Believe in your success

Have you ever succeeded at anything before?

Think back to a time that you set out on a new journey or attempted something new. How often did you think about it? A lot? All the time? Were you obsessive? Most likely your new effort was so mentally absorbing that you found yourself driving to work and forgetting how you got there. You were moving along on automatic while thinking about your new shiny new idea. Using the analogy of being a birth mother, it is something that they will think about every day continuously until giving birth. Then they find out that they can’t sleep without being totally engaged in the well-being of the baby.

So it is with starting a new business—no matter how much help you get, and no matter how much the systems and processes have been fine-tuned to allow you to make it happen! It will require a commitment of your psychological attention, as well as your resources of time and money. It will become your baby! Being in a well developed franchise system affords you access to the tools and processes but it will still require YOUR investment of time, energy and focused effort.

So, going back to the earlier question, what have you succeeded at before? You learned to drive a car. When you first started, you had a goal of passing the test, but then found out that passing the test was only the first step in mastering the driving experience. Then comes the continual improvement of your skills and the ability to build on previous knowledge. Pretty soon you were driving across the country and experiencing the freedom that comes with ability to control your own destiny.

So take the first step, you can do this!
