#68: What Got You Here Won't Get You There - Tiny Time Big Results with Yasmin Vorajee

Happy 2019! It’s been a while since we last connected so I hope you had an amazing break and you’re all fired up for the coming year.

One of the most influential phrases I have ever heard comes from the title of one of Marshall Goldsmith’s books (he’s a heavyweight in the world of executive coaching!)

The phrase is ‘what got you here won’t get you there‘.

It’s the idea that the skills and knowledge that got you to where you are right now won’t get you to the next level.

And I completely believe this.

Whether it’s in business or life, when you reach a plateau (irrespective of whether it’s a good plateau or not!), if you want to reach for the next level, you have to be willing to stretch yourself.

This thought pre-occupied my days over the Christmas break as I was thinking about where I want to take my business and understanding this concept helped me to make some significant decisions.

What about you? What will help you get to the next level in your business or are you happy to carry on as you are? (if you are, you have my permission to stop reading!)

But if you are ready to move to the next level, what’s going to get you there? Doing more of the same won’t.

So what will make the difference? What will you do differently? How will you be supported to take the next steps?

In a tiny time business, you don’t have the luxury of more time to be able to get things done so how can you make business and life much easier for yourself?

In my own business, I have identified 3 simple strategies that will help me get to the next level in my business.

Which enables me to deliver at the highest level for my clients, create the income which sustains me and my family and which uses my time to its optimum.

To get to this point meant I had to make certain strategy decisions that would make this possible.

What would this look like for your business? How will you make business and life easier for yourself?

Or will you ‘hope and pray‘ things will be different but not sure how to make it happen?

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, maybe you’ve been reading my blog for a while but you haven’t yet booked a call to see how things could be different, maybe this is the first bold step you take now?

Nothing changes when you don’t take action.

Passive consumption and learning is ‘shelf development‘; taking action makes things happen.

Opportunities show up where previously you couldn’t see any.

People and connections suddenly show up.

But you have to take the first step.
