Passion for Business
You must have spent hours working, planning and doing the research. Perhaps you met with a business planner or a coach and undoubtedly you made numerous calls to different friends or relatives to ask for advice. Do you recall that passion that first ignited your imagination and spirit? You had the commitment, determination and the passion to make it happen. How long has it been since your started your business? Do you still have the same passion or zeal? Are you feeling uninspired, drained with little or no energy to continue to work creatively or enthusiastically in your business?
Perhaps you are slowly but surely losing your passion and the big question in your mind is “how do I get my passion back”? Or perhaps you aren't sure if you are following your true passion.
The following tips can help you re-ignite that passion and help you to keep your dream alive.
Commit to Passionate Living:
You have a choice each day to live passionately. Commit to become a participant and not just an observer. Commit to do whatever it takes to participate in the process of finding and following your passion and vision! Ask those around you what they think you are passionate about.
Study:
Immerse yourself in material related to your industry or profession. Read articles related to your business. Join clubs or associations in your community or related to your particular industry. Participate in its activities, either as an active member or as a volunteer. Read great books that inspire, motivate and encourage you to grow. I highly recommend reading the Tipping Point, by Malcolm Gladwell and Shine by Larry Thompson.
Teaming with Passion:
A terrific way to insure your success is to find other business owners who are passionate about what they are doing and can support your vision. They can inspire you, share ideas or brain storm with you. Identify other passionate people and spend time with them. Find people who have the same target market but are a compliment to your industry or line of work.
Commit to the Process of Success:
As you work on your business, make a commitment to see yourself through every situation you encounter. Every journey of life has obstacles to be faced and overcome. There are periods when you will have high energy and other times when you not feel like getting out of bed in the morning. These are all part of the process of life and success. You must therefore commit yourself mentally, financially and emotionally to ensure that you keep your dream alive.
Vision - Do you have your personal vision written down? Do you understand the difference between your personal vision and your business vision? Have your written down your goals or objectives and shared them with your coach or those you are accountable to? Today in fact NOW is a good time to begin!
Consider Hiring a Coach:
A business coach will help to design a plan that is right for you and then guide and direct and motivate you through the process. They hold you accountable to your goals act as a sounding board and to provide fresh perspectives. This is a terrific way to get your passion back! Coaches do a great job in reconnecting you back with your passion and help to bring out your ability for greatness.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
