A Word About Time
… or How Long It “Should” Take To Build Your Business
When you started your business and did your research you no doubt came across lots of programs, courses and coaches offering to guide you and your business to “6 figures in 6 weeks” (or some variation of that) if you just followed their “proven success formula” (that's a topic for another day). It's a huge pet peeve of mine.
The problem with being bombarded by this message is that it plants an expectation in your mind about where you should be going and how long it should take you to get there. Chances are, when you compare your progress to that benchmark you're not measuring up.
It's easy to forget that both the milestone and the deadline are arbitrary. And that opens the door to self-doubt, worry, a sense of pressure and urgency …
.. The thing is, pressure, stress, urgency, worry, overthinking take you as far as it gets away from FLOW.
If you've ever experienced a state of creative flow you know that's when ideas just pour out of you, when you're extremely focused, when you get loads done, effortlessly, without feeling drained.
Now, if that's the case wouldn't it make sense to ditch anything that gets in the way of flow?
What would happen to your business if you remembered that “6 figures in 6 weeks” – or whatever you feel you should achieve in whatever time frame – is entirely made up?
What if you simply took the next step and kept walking in the direction that makes sense to you right now?
Are you up for the experiment?
