Today’s post is all about how small, daily improvements can help you build an outstanding business.
If you found toast dull and uninspiring, you wouldn’t have it for breakfast every day. You’d try something new. You’d mix things up a bit. The thing is, it’s easy to change what you have for breakfast. It’s just a small decision.
The value of small, daily decisions
Where people struggle is with the bigger decisions, like changing your business from one that’s under performing, to a business that excites and rewards you. However, achieving that goal doesn’t come from making one big decision – it’s the end result of lots of small, daily decisions.
The most successful business owners already know this, which is why they never feel overwhelmed.
Here’s where the connection with breakfast comes in: You see, just as you choose what type of breakfast to have every day, you choose what type of business you have every day, by the daily decisions you make. Progress comes from these small daily steps. Whilst there’s room for making huge decisions, it’s what we do on a daily basis, which directs the course of our business.
Daily decisions that shape your business
- The people you decide to have as clients or customers, will shape how rewarding your business is.
- The business ethics you adhere to, will shape how rewarding your business is.
- The business advice you choose to take or ignore, will shape how rewarding your business is.
- The fees or prices you charge, will shape how rewarding your business is.
- The level of customer service you offer, will shape how rewarding your business is.
- The way you handle late paying clients or customers, will shape how rewarding your business is.
- The value you place on your own time, will shape how rewarding your business is.
Daily decisions
When we take a step back and look at our business with perspective, what we are looking at is the result of the daily decisions we make. If you are happy with what you see and the direction the business is heading in, then carry on as you are.
However, if you are not happy with the current state of your business or the direction it’s heading in, then start making small changes today. Little, daily changes to your decision making is all it takes to create an outstanding business.
Never fit your lifestyle around the restrictions of an under performing business – always increase the performance of your business, so it powers the lifestyle you want for your family and yourself. That’s what you deserve. Don’t settle for less.
