How to Fall Back in Love – With Your Business

March 18, 2016 by sophiezo Leave a Comment

Fall in love with your business

Have you lost that loving feeling? At work, I mean. When you’ve been slogging away for a long time, even if you’ve achieved some notable success, it can happen. You’re just not as excited as you were at the beginning. You don’t get butterflies about your business like you used to.

It’s more common than you’d think.

But if you’re committed to a long and satisfying relationship with your business, you need to take the time to invest some energy to keeping that love alive. Here are four ways to do that.

Let go of past disappointment & failure

It’s inevitable that when things don’t work out sometimes, you blame your team or yourself. But if you hang onto the negative feelings, they can become a perpetual source of discontent. Instead, just determine why the project failed and make plans to ensure things go better next time. Forgive the mistakes.
And move on. It’s that simple.

Refocus on the mission & vision

Why did you start your business in the first place? What was the original dream? What are your goals? Not just for this year, but 10 years from now? Try by creating (or updating) a mission statement. A good one should be just one succinct sentence and speaks to the benefits for customers, owners, and employees. Make it into a mantra!

Celebrate success

Make it a point to recognize your team’s successes. When you reach goals, congratulate everyone who worked to achieve them. Each time a team member does something great, acknowledge them in a meaningful way. That could be an email sent to the group, an award or certificate of appreciation, or even a spot bonus. When people feel that their contributions are appreciated, it creates goodwill and strengthens morale.

Delegate to an OBM!

The number one most effective way to rekindle the spark is to offload the daily business operations to an online business manager.

Why? Because if you have operations, metrics, project management, and team supervision handled by an OBM you’ll have time to do all of these things. You’ll have more time to devote to activities you love most about your business. You’ll feel less stressed and bored because you won’t be doing any of the dull routine work that takes you away from the heart of your business. And you can get back together with what you fell in love with at the beginning.

We’ve been working with Sophie Zollmann for almost half a year now, building an online lifelong learning platform and community from the ground up (because in-person classes became impossible in light of the corona virus). Sophie has guided every technical aspect of this enterprise including the construction of landing-pages and websites, the management of mailing lists and revenue funnels, setting up Zoom meetings, etc., allowing us to focus exclusively on content production and marketing. This platform is now off the ground and succeeding beyond our wildest hopes.

We couldn’t have built it without Sophie’s support, which has always been prompt and timely, and her guidance, as she’s always pointed us to the most efficient and economical solutions to whatever technical issue we’ve faced. In the heat of the moment, I’m sure we’ve not always been easy to work with, but Sophie has also been generous and understanding to a fault. In sum, her support has been flawless and absolutely essential to the success of our online enterprise. We will be relying on her services again as we ramp up for our next phase of growth.
