Do you enjoy a good challenge?
As entrepreneurs, we’re wired to create solutions to problems, innovate, and take on new challenges. But there are times when we feel like our business has plateaued. We either push past the plateau or sit in comfort.
In this episode, we delve into how to recognize when your business is at a plateau and how to grow past that. We unpack the four questions you can ask yourself to change your mindset and get comfortable with growth.
Welcoming the feeling of being uncomfortable during growth means changing your mindset. Are you robbing yourself of growth by having a mindset to be comfortable and be scared of change, or taking on more risks? Stop thinking about yourself and how you want to stay comfortable. Instead think about how you can help and serve others.
It is only with pressure that growth is achieved.
