Everyone pictures entrepreneurs as these bundles of endless energy, as a source of continuous ideas, but everyone suffers from periods where ideas seem to come less frequently, and your business just doesn’t “feel the same”. Here’s a process that I recently discovered and then had reinforced by reading Robert Fritz’s, “The Path of Least Resistance”. Give it a try, I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
- Step 1. Picture your desired outcome. I found that using the SMART principle really helps make this more realistic than just pulling some idea out of the air. So for example, your desired outcome may be, “I want to create a consulting company and have two clients by July 2008″.
- Step 2. Come up with where you are right now. Make sure that you don’t sugar coat this part, be objective and truly honest with yourself.
- Step 3. Come up with the steps that are going to take you from your current position to where you want to be. Again, make sure that these intermediate steps (or goals) follow the SMART principle.
I decided to give this method a try after discussing ideas and strategies with a friend of mine, who recommended Fritz’s book. Last week has been one of my most productive weeks in a long time. Now I just have to employ Seth Godin’s strategies for my upcoming Dip, and I should be just fine!
