Loving the Black and White
Which floor would you want to base your business on?
People starting a new business start from what they know and what they can do. They start by taking actions and just keep doing and doing. They forget to stop and see what the status of the business is. For various reasons, many people build their businesses on an uneven floor. This causes lots of trouble. It is best to have certainty. Black and white. Then and only then can you create and make powerful business situations. It also gives you a lot of freedom and lets you sleep at night.
I have a client that is very successful. They have been running their business on what they know and what they want to know. Recently they saw that it would be really powerful if they knew all the ins and outs of where the money comes and goes. Now this business owner can touch the levers and dials and produce more profit than she thought was possible.
I have another client that has looked at the Black and White and now knows what they need to produce to have a breakthrough year. One of the owner says, "I hate the numbers. It has me loose focus and not give the customer what I am committed to - extraordinary customer service". He doesn't want to get suppressed by the pressure of having it be all about the numbers. His partner on the other hand is very motivated and more focused than ever.
There is always a front of the hand and a back of the hand when it comes to dealing with the numbers and staying committed to what you are up to. Keep your Mission in front of you, keep your numbers in front of you. Own all of it. Love all of it. Have all of it. Anything is possible.
What do you do to know about the black and white of your business? How do you stay present to your Mission and what you have created?
"If you ever wanted to know what you wanted in life then look at what you got!"
