finding motivation and direction in business

We recently felt like we hit a plateau with our business. We felt like we were going along with the flow; progress seemed to stagnate, and we found ourselves stuck for direction even though we had lots of ideas about where we saw the business going long-term. Despite our best efforts and intentions, we felt as though we had reached a standstill in our journey towards achieving our vision and goals.

We recognised we needed guidance and support and made the decision to enlist the help of a business mentor. Our first session with our mentor proved to be nothing short of eye-opening. In just one call, we were reminded of the fundamental principle that 'we should control our business and not be controlled by our business.' It was a simple yet profound realisation that helped to shift our mindset and approach.

The conversation with our mentor reignited our passion for our business ventures and reaffirmed our commitment to our vision. We were challenged to reflect on what truly brings us happiness and fulfilment in our personal lives as well as in business. Although this was the first session, our mentor helped us uncover underlying motivations and desires that had been overshadowed by the day-to-day operations of our business.

One of the most impactful insights from our first session was the importance of setting boundaries and prioritising our own well-being. As entrepreneurs, it's easy to become consumed by the demands of our businesses, often at the expense of our own mental and emotional health. We realised we were working in the business, not on the business, whereas it should be the other way around.

Beyond personal well-being, our mentor also challenged us to reevaluate our approach to business strategy and decision-making. We were prompted to examine our existing processes and identify areas for improvement.

Perhaps most importantly, our first session with our mentor left us feeling energised, motivated, and supported. The sense of accountability and encouragement provided by our mentor served as a powerful catalyst for action. We emerged from the call with a renewed sense of purpose and direction, ready to tackle the challenges ahead with confidence and resilience.

As we continue our journey with our business mentor, we are excited to see where this partnership will take us. We are committed to embracing the lessons learned and applying them to propel our business forward. With the guidance and support of our mentor, we are confident that we can break through the plateau and reach new heights of success.
