The 3 Questions That Saved Me from Failure

Today, I want to talk about a crucial lesson I learned the hard way—a lesson that I believe can help you avoid the pitfalls that almost caused my downfall.

Not too long ago, I found myself caught up in a never-ending cycle of busyness. My two businesses were thriving, but I couldn't shake off that feeling of constantly needing to catch up. Despite our success, I was still living in survival mode. And that's when it hit me—I needed to take a step back and evaluate my situation.

So, here are the three questions that I asked myself that changed everything:

1. Can I Offload Anything?

Taking inventory of my daily tasks was a game-changer. It gave me the clarity to identify what I could delegate or eliminate altogether. Trust me, offloading the tasks that don't align with your goals or strengths will create the margin you need for growth and avoid burnout.

2. What are the Biggest Needle Movers?

Identifying the activities that truly move the needle in my businesses opened my eyes to the real impact I could make. It's not about doing more; it's about focusing on those strategic actions that generate the most substantial results. And if there's a way to duplicate or double down on these needle movers, even better!

3. What are my Lowest Leverage Tasks?

Sometimes, we get caught up in doing things that are time-consuming and add little value. It's essential to identify these low-leverage tasks—both in our personal lives and our businesses—and ask ourselves if they are truly necessary. Streamlining and eliminating these tasks will free up precious time for what truly matters.

Now, I won't deny that offloading tasks and reevaluating your priorities can be tough. But remember, you own your business for the long haul. It's worth investing the time to create systems and standard operating procedures (SOPs) that will allow you to delegate and expand as needed.

So, let's avoid the burnout and the never-ending loop of similar tasks. Let's aim for those game-changing moves—the ones that push us outside of our comfort zones and truly make a difference.

In conclusion, my friend, take it from someone who's been there—don't wait until you're feeling overwhelmed to ask yourself these three questions. Incorporate them into your routine now, and watch how they transform your life and business.

Until next time, keep striving for impact and freedom.

Are You Living Up To Your Potential?

There is a profound message that resonates deeply in our lives found in Jessie Belle Rittenhouse's poem, "I bargained with Life for a penny." This masterpiece holds valuable lessons for any entrepreneur, offering insights into self-worth, personal agency, and the profound impact of our choices. I am going to break it down, line by line:

1. "I bargained with Life for a penny,"

Picture this: You're sitting across the table from Life, striking a deal as an entrepreneur. Rittenhouse's vivid imagery captures the essence of our interactions with the world – negotiations and aspirations.

2. "and Life would pay no more."

In this negotiation, Life initially offers you a measly "penny." It's a symbol of meager rewards, akin to those moments when you feel like your entrepreneurial efforts aren't being fully rewarded.

3. "However I begged at the evening when I counted my scanty store."

As the day winds down, you take a moment to assess your entrepreneurial journey – your "scanty store." The evening signifies a time for self-reflection, where you gauge your progress and your place in the entrepreneurial world.

4. "For Life is a just employer, he gives you what you ask."

Rittenhouse introduces a captivating idea: Life is fair, and it provides you exactly what you request or demand. This highlights the significance of setting ambitious goals.

5. "But once you have set the wages, why, you must bear the task."

This line underscores personal responsibility. After setting your own worth ("wages"), you must own the consequences and responsibilities that come with it.

6. "I worked for a menial's hire, only to learn, dismayed,"

In a moment of self-awareness, you might be disappointed, realizing you've settled for an unsatisfying, "menial" reward. This highlights the cost of underestimating your entrepreneurial potential.

7. "that any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid."

The poem’s climax drives home a powerful message: Life was ready to offer more if you had only dared to ask for more.

This revelation reminds us that self-imposed limitations and self-doubt can curb our success. I know it has for me, time and time again!

I think we all need to take this lesson to heart. Rittenhouse's poem encourages you to recognize your true value and not underestimate our potential. It's a call to set your sights high, have the confidence to demand more from life, and embrace our vast possibilities.

Remember these wise words as we navigate the exhilarating journey in our businesses. Strive for the greatness you genuinely deserve, break free from self-imposed limits, and go for more. Life is waiting to reward your audacious dreams – all you have to do is ask for it!
