Survival mode
I built my business off of survival.
Not from a place of passion or wanting to make real change.
So every goal, every mission, every decision I made was to make more money.
I have realised now that upon all that’s changed…
My lifestyle, my bank account, the access I have to things etc.
I’m still operating from a place of survival.
I grew up with a single parent raising me and my sister and all we knew was struggle.
So now that my life is wayyyy better than before you’d think things would change??
No they haven’t.
I’m still operating from the same mindset I had when I started which was to make enough money to survive.
It feels like I’m constantly running but I’ve been running since the day I decided to start.
So what am I running from?
And I feel like this has impacted my business too.
I started the agency to make money and the goal since then has been to make money.
I don’t have any “real” business goals… I just want to make money.
I’ve heard guys I’m friends with talk about getting acquired and growing their business for the sole person of one day selling it.
As far as I’ve come how could I have thought about any of that back then.
I just wanted to get my family out of poverty and take care of the people I love.
So I feel like now that I’ve already done those things it’s time for me to stop running and get out of survival mode.
It’s time to make some real business goals that are not personal…
I’ll let you guys know how it goes :)
