Handling Change
Doing business today, means dealing with change all the time. Our clients change, the economy shifts, our vendors raise their prices. Nothing remains the same. Women entrepreneurs probably already know that the entrepreneurial career path is unpredictable. Nothing is stable and steady about running your own business. But there are some success strategies to help you cope with change.
Put Worries On Paper:
As an event planner, I have learned the only way to stay on top of all the details involved with managing and running an event is to create a list of everything that has to be done and putting it down on paper. When we try to keep details, important thoughts, and worries in our head, it can be overwhelming. Once those thoughts, plans and concerns are typed up, written down, or taken out of our head, we become relieved and more focused. When change is occuring, the best thing to do is to get it all out of your mind so you can create a plan and gain clarity.
Seek Counsel:
One of today’s growing business sectors is the coaching sector. There are so many educated, and inspirational professionals who coach other entrepreneurs through change. A session or two with a professional coach can help you talk out your worries about change so you can make a plan and take control of your destiny. Seek one out today to help yourself with your issues of change and to bring them some business.
Review Your Plan:
Sometimes sitting down and crunching numbers with our business plans, documenting the shifts in our client base, refocusing on our core products and services, or creating a new strategic marketing plan, can start us on a new path with our business. Planning isn’t always the most exciting part of being an entrepreneur but sometimes it is the most practical and logical way to address the emotional issues associated with our business.
