Are you hustling to make your mark in the business world? 

How does your personal vision contribute to these business results? 

Now, I know you could be thinking, “Hold up, I’ve got my business vision down, isn’t that enough?” 

Stay with me because we’re about to take a deep dive into why having a personal vision as well as a business vision is like adding rocket fuel to your business success.

Picture this – you’re steering your ship in the vast sea of entrepreneurship, and that ship is your business. It’s got a solid compass guiding it – the business vision. 

But here’s the twist, you need your own True North to direct you, navigate uncharted waters, inspire you in uninspiring moments of business and keep you afloat as you conquer the storms that come your way.

Your business is a vehicle to help you move towards your personal vision. But business isn’t just about numbers and goals. 

It’s also about the emotional connection, the “why” that fuels your soul. It’s about digging deep to stay connected to your why in those moments when you need a pep talk to push through those “ugh” days. 

Here’s another way to look at it… your business vision is in neon lights, it’s on all the billboards for as many people as possible to see. 

Your personal vision is the quiet force within you. It’s your secret weapon that tells you why you’re doing all this in the first place. 

As an example, my personal vision revolves around building a lifestyle for my loved ones and I to enjoy and give back to causes I care about. It’s about those epic family vacations, being able to say yes to things, and making a real impact where it matters.

Your personal vision isn’t about fancy words; it’s about what tugs at your heartstrings. It’s your chance to connect the dots between your business success and your personal fulfilment. 

So, here’s what I want you to do. 

Grab a cup of your favourite tipple, sit down and get curious about what truly lights up your soul. 

Ask yourself..

• What’s my True North? 
• Why do I do what you do?
• Why do I really do what you do?
• Why do I really really do what you do?
• Think back to why I went into business in the first place; is this reason/feeling still present in my day-to-day life?
• Does my why still inspire me on the tough days?

Let’s talk about something that’s near and dear to my heart: smart growth. Now, I know it might not sound like the sexiest topic, but trust me, it’s a game-changer. 

In this crazy modern world, we often find ourselves stuck in the busy trap, juggling a million things and feeling like we’re building a plane while flying it. 

Sound familiar?

Fear not! Today, I want to empower you to refocus, reclaim your time freedom, and stop juggling all those balls. 

It’s time to experience peak performance, both for yourself and your team, and leverage the power of smart growth in your business.

So, what exactly does smart growth mean?

Well, imagine a little triangle in front of you. At its foundation lies having a solid business strategy and plan. This is where it all begins. 

You can have the best plan in the world, but without action and a bigger vision and purpose driving it, it’s all for naught. 

Now, let’s get real for a moment. 

Chaos often creeps in when systems and structures fail to keep up with rapid business growth. 

As business owners, we become everything to everyone, losing sight of the big picture. But I promise, you can overcome this chaos.

First and foremost, you need to step back and reconnect with your vision and make sure this is a part of your business strategy. 

It’s not just about your business vision, you also need to get clear on your personal vision. 

Ask yourself… 

• What impact do I want to make in the world? 
• What legacy do I want to leave? 

Reconnecting to your passion is crucial to weathering the storms and staying motivated.

Once you have that vision locked in, it’s time to dive into the nitty-gritty of planning out your strategy. Break it down into manageable chunks—90-day periods work great. 

Set clear goals and define the actions that will bring you closer to those goals. Create a roadmap for success, and remember to regularly review and adjust your plan as needed.

TOP TIP: Don’t forget the power of the weekly “five to thrive.” This is where you identify the top five actions that will propel your business forward each week. It keeps you focused, accountable, and on track.

Smart growth is about more than just planning though. It’s also about connecting the dots between sales and profit. Remember that triangle in front of you? 

All three elements fit into the triangle – the plan as well as a focus on sales, and profit. All three must work together harmoniously for long term, sustainable success.

Even if it feels impossible, now is the time to embrace smart growth and bid farewell to chaos. 

Take a step back, reconnect with your vision, and create a strategic plan that will guide you toward your goals. Incorporate a separate focus on sales (including targets and how you’ll achieve it) and profit (including targets and how you’ll achieve it). Ps. if you want a hand with this, our ‘Create a 6 Month Business Plan in 60 minutes workshop’ might be just what you need.

Break it down into manageable chunks, and take action every step of the way.

Remember, your business is meant to thrive, not just survive. And with smart growth as your secret weapon, you’ll be unstoppable. 

It’s time to reclaim your time, your sanity, and your success. If you’re feeling inspired and ready to take action, let’s make it happen!
