Are you feeling stuck?? Like you’ve reached a ceiling in your growth and you’re not quite sure how to bust through?
Are you feeling burnt out?
Are you feeling like you’ve reached a cap or a max level at everything you’re trying to do?
This episode is for you if you’ve been STRUGGLING for a while now or are feeling discouraged or burnt out. You feel like you’ve done EVERYTHING under the sun in your business and you’re not seeing the results you want.
This is for you if you feel like you’ve hit a ceiling in your business, you’re hustling your booty off, but you feel like you’ve reached a cap and can’t push past it. You can FEEL something is off, but you’re just not sure what, and it’s leaving you feeling SO frustrated. You want more freedom to live your life while working less. You built your business to be an ASSET to your life, not be a slave to your business.
You want to grow your business so you’re not solo-preneuring it anymore, but what the HECK do you do next? What’s your next step? You’re confident in what’s worked in the past, but as far as what to do to get to the next level….BIG question marks are in your path.
We’ve BEEN in your shoes before. HECK, we still ARE in your shoes, friend. You’re not alone in wanting MORE from your business and life. So let’s sit down for a conversation and chat about HOW to grow and scale your business in a strategic way that gives you MORE space for life, and LESS hustle.
If you are feeling stuck
That means it’s probably time to re-evaluate things. What got you to where you are in your business now is probably not going to get you to the next level. You need to switch things up. If you’re feeling like you’re spinning your wheels and have hit a brick wall and don’t know how to get past it. It’s time to step out of the car and start climbing the wall and realize there is another vehicle on the other side of the wall.
Bottom line: The vehicle that got you to where you are, might not get you to the next level.
Example #1: what got The Heart to where it is now isn’t gonna be what gets it to the next level (restructuring a lot of our company, team, etc)
- Hiring INTENTIONALLY: can we afford it actually? And what do we need to help us get to the next level? Ex: hiring a Marketing Director and team
- Integrating ongoing paid ads and not JUST relying on organic growth or limited launches
- With social media not just posting every day to Instagram, but posting strategically. Is what you’re posting directly related to what you offer?
- Evaluating the team and their tasks (is each person doing the things that will help move the needle forward hardest and fastest? Ex: L and E focusing way more on content creation + students this year vs high-level marketing, funnels, copywriting, etc)
Example #2: Photography businesses: we got to a place where handling ALL of our emails and inquiries plus booking all our travel plus ALL of our editing plus shooting plus DOING that travel plus blogging plus Pinterest-ing. It all wasn’t doable anymore. We’d reached a limit of our capacity and in order to take it to the next level, we needed to do something different:
- Outsource editing
- Outsource admin – hire a VA
- Outsource creative tasks that we didn’t HAVE to do: Pinterest, blogging, etc.
- Hire associate shooters if you want to grow photography in that way
Try Something New
If you’re listening to this and it’s striking a chord with you and you’re feeling like “yep, I’ve hit my ceiling. I need to change things up. This is your encouragement and some of our best tips:
- Invest in a mentor or a coach to help you navigate if you don’t know what to do.
- Hire a team. Outsource to independent contractors. Make sure you have the right people in the right seat.
- Dive into education from people who are several steps ahead of you / where you want to be. That could be through YouTube videos, podcasts, business books, or Masterminds.
You don’t know what you don’t know, so a lot of time investing in a business coach can help you in the right direction. Every successful business owner has had a business coach helping them along the way.
