My mission is simple - to ensure you have everything you ever need to achieve the success you dream of.
Weâve come across many amazing business ideas at The ElevatoryÂź. We see some women go on to make them into 6 and 7 figure businesses, whilst someone else with a similar idea will barely make ends meet. The difference? Itâs all about you. It all comes down to your connection with what youâre doing. In our experience, you need to have the following 3 elements to make sure your business is a success.
Whether youâre a planner or a dreamer, having your vision firmly imprinted in your mind helps you visualise where you want to take your business and your life. When you focus on an outcome and start acting as though itâs going to happen, you are more likely to achieve it.
Without this vision, you end up going around in circles with no clear direction. It sounds a little back to front, but you really do need to start with the end in mind. Even Steve Coveyâs popular book âThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peopleâ, lists knowing your direction as one of his desired habits. Enthusiasm alone is not going to help your business succeed. Having a focal point to drive every action and every decision is critical to keep you on track.
Successful business owners take the time to analyse and dream so that they can understand what success looks like to them. If youâre not clear on your big vision, then ask yourself:
Being able to answer these questions with clarity allows you to live, breathe and connect with your vision.
You have the vision, now to bring it to life you need the commitment! Tony Robbins believes that the only limit to what you can achieve is you. The vision that you create for yourself is simply your imagination plus the level of commitment you give to making it your reality.
This is my experience and why I believe in this whole-heartedly. A few years ago, my husband and I created our big vision together. This involved setting a financial goal for The Elevatory so that he no longer had to work his FIFO job. Our joint vision was connected to being able to have him home every evening so we could all be together as a family. Every decision we made was linked back to that vision. Twelve months later he no longer worked in the mines.
If you find yourself wavering with your commitment to your vision, it may be because:
You need to fix this lack of commitment quickly, as you are what you project. So, if youâre promoting your business as a little side hustle, guess what will happen? Your business will take longer to get off the ground as youâre not 100% connected and committed to it. If youâre feeling uncertain or uncommitted, that will reflect back to you in your environment.
Knowing your "why" is what becomes your emotional driver that puts you back on track when you have setbacks. This is such an important element to business success that at The Elevatory we love to question whether you are going deep enough with your why. Itâs not enough for you to âinspire othersâ or âhelp others to live their best lifeâ. It should be more than that!
We like to use an exercise called â7 Levels Deep on Your Why.â This exercise can be used on any part of your life and involves asking yourself "Why is this important?" seven times, where each time you question yourself based on your previous response. The more in depth your response, the more youâll get out of the exercise.
By the time you get to the seventh level, you will have a much deeper understanding of what is driving you. A deeper understanding will mean a greater connection so when those bad days come along, you have the reason and motivation to push through. We have created a template for you to work through - click here.
Building a strong foundation for business success begins with you. If youâre able to articulate your big vision, commit to it and connect with your âwhyâ then youâre well on your way to a fulfilling and successful business.
