When you know you need to shift up a gear, in any area of your business (or your life for that matter), it's really important to have a vivid representation of what you are seeking.
Some call these "Goals", others "Visions" and yet more describe it as a "Mission". But there is one focused way to ensure that your path is perfectly directed to where you want to get to.
By asking the question:-
"What does good look like?"
...and applying that to where you are right now, you will easily see a path unfold.
That path is about the steps you will take along the way to achieve your Good - your focal point.
Struggling how to do this?
Take a sheet of paper and describe the situation where you want it to be at a defined point in the future (be very specific with this). Answer the question, "What does good looks like?" using as many of your senses as you can muster.
