Growing In Different Seasons Of Business
As an entrepreneur, your business is constantly bouncing between seasons of rapid growth and learning to be satisfied with how things are. Sometimes the constant back-and-forth of that uncomfortable feeling can leave you unrest, unsure, and unaware of if you are still accomplishing your definition of success.
I love the quote…
"If your business is not changing, then you're not growing."
When I finally understood that my business is supposed to change as it grows... I was finally able to accept it. Change is actually GOOD!
For those of you who don't believe it yet… keep repeating that in your head until you start to believe it.
Change is good.
Change is good.
Change is good.
Change is good.
Change is good.
Some call these times of fluctuating change 'the entrepreneur rollercoaster'... but I like to call them seasons.
Similar to the seasons we are all are familiar with, we also have different seasons of business.
Some I have personally experienced, include seasons of... waiting, growth, opportunity, rest, creativity, feast, famine, hustle, learning, simplifying, etc. Whatever season you're in, you have to be okay with knowing that it will all change and you'll be coming into a new, completely different season soon.
I finally had to stop white-knuckling what my business should be and start to loosen my grip to shift my mindset on what it could be in this next season.
It's much easier to get through the tough seasons of being an entrepreneur and appreciate the great seasons when you realize that it is just a season of business... it won't last forever.
Hang on because being an entrepreneur is one of the funnest rollercoasters you'll ever ride! :)
Sending hugs!
