Unlock Your Business’s Potential: 3 Simple Steps To Stay Motivated

Entrepreneurs are known for their drive and determination to achieve their goals and dreams. However, as time goes on, it is easy to become disconnected from the vision that motivated them to start their business. 

The journey towards success is a long and winding road that can be filled with obstacles and challenges. As time goes on, it’s not uncommon for entrepreneurs to lose sight of the vision that once inspired them to take the leap and start their own business. 

This disconnection can be detrimental to their business and their personal well-being, but fortunately, there are strategies entrepreneurs can use to stay motivated and connected to their vision.

This disconnection is what we call the “Disconnected Visionary,” which is dangerous for businesses. In this episode, you’ll learn 

• the importance of staying connected to your business vision 
• the danger of relying on external motivation
• the power of internal motivation
• steps to stay connected to your business vision

Losing Sight of the Vision

It is common for entrepreneurs to become caught up in the day-to-day operations of their business, making them lose sight of the vision that initially motivated them. 

This loss of sight can lead to feeling disconnected from the business, which can also lead to demotivation.

Doing mundane tasks, dealing with difficult customers, or even hiring and firing employees can be demotivating, and take away from the original vision of the business.

Without a clear sense of purpose or a compelling reason to continue pushing forward, entrepreneurs may find it challenging to stay motivated, resulting in a decline in productivity, creativity, and overall business success.

The Danger of Relying on External Motivation

Entrepreneurs often believe that motivation is an external thing. However, relying on external motivation can be a trap, as it is temporary, and once it is gone, the motivation disappears. 

Those who rely on external motivation may be at risk of feeling directionless when external circumstances change, which can ultimately lead to a loss of productivity and creativity.

Relying on external motivation is risky, as it is beyond our control, and entrepreneurs like to be in control. Once entrepreneurs rely on something else to be motivated, they become dependent on it, making them out of control.

The Power of Internal Motivation

Internal motivation is the key to keeping entrepreneurs connected to their business vision. Unlike external motivation, internal motivation is within their control and has a longer-lasting effect. 

Entrepreneurs must find what motivates them internally, whether it is their passion, their purpose, or the impact they want to make. Internal motivation is a more powerful and sustainable way to stay connected to the business vision.

In addition to finding internal motivation, entrepreneurs can also maintain their connection to their business vision by regularly reflecting on their goals and the progress they have made towards them. This reflection can help entrepreneurs stay focused and committed to their vision, even during challenging times.

Steps to Stay Connected to Your Business Vision

1. Understand that motivation is internal, and it starts within you. You must identify what is motivating you internally, and connect that to your business vision. 
2. Create a clear and concise business plan that outlines your vision, goals, and how you plan to achieve them. A clear and concise business plan will help you stay connected to your business and avoid being distracted by day-to-day operations. 
3. Surround yourself with people who share the same vision, passion, and purpose. Build yourself a network to support you, whether it is a mentor, coach, or a group of like-minded people.
