3 Steps to Quickly Accelerate Your Business

3 Steps to Quickly Accelerate Your Business
by Christine Kloser, “The Conscious Business Coach”

Is this your year to exponentially grow your business? If so, I’ve got good news for you. It’s possible! But, there may be some old thinking (and habits) that needs to be tweaked in order for your rapid growth to occur.

What I’ve noticed with some of my clients and customers is a struggle between being of service to the world and making a lot of money. If you’re nodding your head up and down in agreement… stop. You don’t need to choose, you can have both meaning and money. How do I know? I’ve been there. I’ve been of service (and not focused on money) to the point where it drove me to the verge of bankruptcy. Thankfully, that was several years ago and since then I’ve consistently generated a generous six-figure-plus income.

I’m going to share a few of the key lessons that accelerated my business in hopes you’ll use these steps to quickly manifest YOUR dreams.

Step 1: Let Go
This is the first place to start… to let go of something you feel is holding you back. Let’s face it. Times changes, you change, circumstances change, goals change, people change… you get the picture. As your life evolves, transforms and shifts there are things you may still be carrying that no longer serve you.

Go with me for a moment and imagine you’re taking a trip to Alaska and have packed your suitcase full of warm sweaters, gloves, hats, coats, etc. to keep you warm on your journey. Now, your plans have changed and you’re going to Hawaii. Would you carry the same suitcase you had packed for Alaska? No. You’d let go of the warm winter clothing and pack a bikini and sandals instead.

Take a look at your business, and your life. Do you see things you’re carrying around in your “suitcase” that were packed for a different journey than the one you’re on now? If so, release those things that no longer serve you with blessings and gratitude and you’ll be lighter and quicker on the path to your dreams.

Step 2: Focus
Now that you’ve done some self-assessment and released those things that no longer serve you, it’s time to get down to business and FOCUS on what you most want to manifest in your life. Here’s a tool I use when I’m having trouble focusing on getting my highest priority tasks done. And, it doesn’t cost a dime.

Simply find an accountability partner who also needs to spend some focused time on his/her priority tasks. (Hint: These are the tasks that are closest to the money.) Now, choose a time you will BOTH focus on your priority tasks. For starters, two hours is a good time to schedule for this exercise. Now, once the time is in your calendar (in pen), make arrangements to call each other when your “focus time” begins and tell your partner what you will do in the next two hours. Then, turn off your phone, shut down your email, ignore the doorbell and do ONLY what you told your partner you’d do. After the two hours is up, call your accountability partner and tell them what you did during that time. It’s easy to focus for a specific amount of time like this, especially when you know your partner is doing the same.

Step 3: Make Public Deadlines
This one’s my favorite! If you really want to light a fire under yourself, make a public deadline. What do I mean by a public deadline? It’s when you book the hotel room for the workshop you’ve been talking about doing. It’s when you say “yes” to a speaking engagement when you don’t even have your speech outlined yet. It’s setting the date for your tele-class before it feels “comfortable” to do so. It’s committing to publishing your ezine on a specific date, even if you only have five subscribers. You get the picture.

This step ensures your rapid forward progress through the methodology of “learning by doing”. You’ll always learn more (and faster) when you are learning as you do something. All the book smarts and knowledge in the world doesn’t mean anything until the rubber hits the road. And, this step is where it happens.

Have fun with these three steps. If it feels overwhelming to do all three of them at once, not to worry. The important thing is that you do at least one of them and then another and another… continually. Ultimately this three-step process will become second-nature and you’ll be taking these steps without even realizing it.
