Do you feel like the fall season has truly arrived when you can order a pumpkin spice latte at your favorite coffee shop?
Yes, the kids are back in school, Halloween decorations are popping up everywhere, the temperatures outside are cooler, and it’s a new season.
What does this mean for you and your business?
There are only a few months left this year (gulp!).
Do you have plans in place to improve your business and personal life?
Before things get crazy with the holidays, and everyone is touting about making New Year’s Resolutions, take some quiet time now to set goals and FOCUS…
You probably spend a lot of time thinking about how you can help your family members, friends, customers, patients, clients, associates… and everyone in your life. Well, now, you get to think about you!
What do you want to happen in your life in the next few months and the new year?
Write down your goals… no matter how big or small they are.
When was the last time you stopped doing and started thinking?
Just take a few minutes to observe your life from the outside and what’s going on around you.
Where do you spend all of your time?
How do you feel about your daily activities?
How do other successful people in your world think and act?
Just by taking the time to think and observe, you may discover hidden secrets that were hiding right in front of you all along!
When you reflect on this past year, what are you proud of accomplishing? Note all of the things that you are proud of overcoming, undertaking and finishing. Most of us never take the time to do this, and you may surprise yourself at how far you’ve come!
Maybe you’re not too happy with your accomplishments this past year. No worries! This doesn’t mean you can’t change moving forward.
Start by sending some positive messages to the people and customers you work with, fellow associates, family, and friends. It’s a simple, no-cost thing to do, and just by sharing a kind word to uplift others, you’ll feel more positive. This is a great way to get out of the doldrums, and have more confidence in your dreams… After all, your mindset has a LOT to do with your overall success.
Remember that you are unique and have something special to share with others that no one else has. Focus on your one-of-a-kind talent to create and provide valuable services that your target market wants. Then, the competition melts away, you can relax, be you and succeed at whatever you set your mind to doing!
The arrival of pumpkin spice lattes, cooler weather and beautiful foliage are not the only things changing this fall season.
What about you?
This is the perfect time to focus on what you want!
So, sit down with that delicious fall beverage and write down your goals, observe what has worked and hasn’t worked with you and what other successful entrepreneurs are doing, celebrate your wins, uplift others to feel more positive, and offer your unique skills to be your best and shine.
This way, you can prepare yourself for the busy months ahead and a brand, new year of accomplishments. You’ll have a better understanding of what direction you need to go and the actions necessary to make yourself happier, healthier and more successful.
Then, next year at this time, you’ll enjoy that delicious, fall beverage even more!
Happy Fall!
