One question to expand your business

Words CORY MICHELLE

People have been telling me that it’s impossible to truly be you, have a thriving business and, dare I say, receive millions.

Say what? I ask them to tell me more…

They tell me that to receive millions, you’ve got to make sacrifices, do work you hate and work so hard you burn out; none of which is being you.

Well, I’m here to say that is all BS! Does an entrepreneur ever feel like asking, “What the heck did I choose this for?”

Well, I did. After years of struggling, working 70 hours a week and not financially thriving, there were many times I felt like giving up and just getting a job. But I still had this dream of having freedom, living anywhere in the world, having plenty of money, serving amazing clients and being an inspiration.

Truly, this dream drove me. And I’m like most entrepreneurs; we love what we do and have a vision of what is possible, right? So if you are ready to up-level your business but aren’t making the progress you’d like, I have a little tip that might give you a boost.

Some people say that working harder, getting the right funnel or working more hours is the way to grow your business.

I did that, and trust me… it doesn’t work out well.

After years of not truly thriving, I had an epiphany. I was continually being the same version of myself. Working hard and working a lot were in my wheelhouse (learned from my grandfather), and I was really good at both. Then, like a lightning bolt of awareness, it hit me… if I wanted to make my dream entrepreneur life a reality, I was going to have to be different in my business.

So I got my journal out and began writing out all the ways I could be the CEO of a seven-figure business. I wrote it all down.

What showed up next – in my face – was that I would need to change the way I functioned in my business. I would have to up-level my choices to match where I was going, instead of waiting until I got there to change.

And there it was, the clarity of how to up-level my business. I was stuck on a hamster wheel and I wasn’t a hamster anymore. I had tapped into a new version of myself, a sparkly unicorn CEO who immediately tapped into the consciousness of her future self and made choices from that level of consciousness.

It was pretty rad. Everything in my business changed because of this one question: “If I was the CEO of a sevenfigure company, what would I choose and who would I be?”

Try it. See what you become aware of for yourself!
