Three Questions
That Changed My Business
Being a business owner is like building a plane while it’s flying— incredibly challenging yet deeply rewarding.
Here are three (3) weekly journaling questions I ask myself every Friday morning to make sure my plane is on course:
What’s Working?
I review my week’s calendar to pinpoint successes. It could be a new morning routine, a productive networking event, or a fresh strategy. I write down these wins and commit to their ongoing momentum, not necessarily adding more, just maintaining progress.
What’s Not?
I honestly reflect on moments of stress or where I fell short. For instance, trying Facebook networking drained me without yielding results, so I removed it. I’ve learned to prioritize self-compassion, like abandoning 5 am workouts and allowing for more creative breaks.
What’s the Next Right Step?
Sometimes it’s sustaining what’s effective or removing what isn’t. Transitioning to LinkedIn from Facebook was my right step; it led to significant successes that I’ve continued weekly.
This exercise reveals your growth as a business owner, creating something from nothing is truly magic! On tough days, I reflect on how far I’ve come and it gives me confidence I’m traveling in the right direction.
I recommend writing; truth always comes out, though digital works too.
Take your time to reflect.
In business and in life.
It will pay off.
