Magnify Your Business and Watch it Grow
Last week I had a long and interesting conversation with my friend and fellow coach Paul Zelizer. I always value Paul’s wisdom about the true heart of success in business and this call was no exception. It has provoked profound reflection that has lasted all weekend.
Paul and I spent a lot of time talking about the elusive nature of business success that is ‘out there’. So many of us construct our business goals, and our success, on a ‘bigger is better’ basis. We invest our time, money, and energy overstretching ourselves attempting to vastly increase our businesses so that we’ll be more successful. In doing so, we tend to create a contrast between where we are now in our business and where we think we’d like to be. We construct success as an ultimately unattainable goal, floating on the horizon, firmly out of reach.
Even if you’re not a business owner, you can probably relate to this kind of thinking. Business owners have a tendency towards this ‘never enough’ thinking. It promotes overwork, lack of balance, and feelings of guilt when the natural desire for rest arises.
On our call, Paul shared his recent learning about the importance of really enjoying the business we already have. He talked about the deep wisdom of being deeply rooted in where we are right now, and into whatever success is today.
It’s so easy, isn’t it, to want more? Instead, why don’t we place our focus on everything we have already? In coaching, we talk about how you get more of what you focus on. What do you already have that you would like more of? Place your attention on it like a magnifying glass, and watch it grow.
