If you listened to the podcast last week, you know that we talked about taking action and why sitting still and doing nothing is not an option for leaders who truly want to make an impact. Well, this week we’re going to take it a step further. Today, we’re going to talk about taking actions that are aligned with who you are and the goals that you have for your business.
Are you a founder who was once very excited about your business but managed to lose that excitement as the business continued to grow? It could be possible that you’re not actually losing excitement about the thing that you built, it could be the thing that you built is no longer fulfilling its original purpose. Today, I’m going to provide you with tips to help you identify if your business is disconnected from who you are as well as what actions you need to take to get you and your business in alignment with your goals.

🔑 It is important that the action you take stays connected to that deeper goal that you’re trying to achieve.
🔑 Aligned action has ease to it but it’s not easy.
🔑 You need to be doing stuff that excites you!

Redefine what action is to you. Sometimes the action that we need to take is taking a minute to be still and recognize what we are seeing, feeling, and hearing.
After you take some time, ask yourself these questions:
What is the goal that you’re trying to achieve?
What is the outcome that you’re trying to make happen?
Does the action that you’re taking align with that?
Does it support it? Move you toward it? Or does it move you away from it?
