Which Doors Are You Walking Through?

To be successful, you're going to have to get tough with yourself; I mean, brutally critical and willing to evaluate and discern what is best for your growth strategy. Not everything you WANT to address, solve, or achieve is going to be possible, so a considerable amount of self reflection is needed.

  
Questions to ask yourself, when you think of a new product or service to introduce, a fresh campaign, or different type of business model, might include:

"What really is our business? Is our success based on multiple products or services, or specifically tied to just one or two main concepts?"

"Does this brilliant idea I had at 3am really fit into our strategy?"

"How can we branch out and yet not lose our focus on what's making us successful?"

"Is this door absolutely necessary for me to walk through and spend my valuable time on?"



Do you see a theme here yet? Each question you ask yourself must be for the greater good, so to speak; a reflection and thoughtful consideration of NEEDS vs WANTS. Put another way, is this idea worth pursuing, i.e., going down a rabbit hole for, or is it merely a distraction?

Get used to be uncomfortable having these discussions, because you can't plunge blindly through every open door and remain effective.

Thank you for visiting my blog ~ I hope you found something which sparks growth, resonates with your journey, or encourages new ideas.
