You are at a really good place. You're established in your business and or career, the sun is shining, and everything is coming in green and smelling like roses. Congratulations! Give yourself a giant pat on the back and tell yourself job well done! You've made it through the honeymoon stage, past the rocky mountains and finally here you sit in the golden prairies of life. Now what?
Well you should certainly take off some well deserved time for yourself. Remember what it is like to be you and now that you are not nose to the grind for 80 hours a week seek out some balance in life. Take 60 minutes at lunch in the gym, travel to the mountains on the weekend, or even book that extended trip to Europe, just remember in the back of your mind that you need to have your plan in place to keep your daily business thriving and well maintained.
Just like your front lawn once you have all the weeds vanished and you are left with a vibrant green carpet spreading out to welcome your neighbors and visitors your stable business is going to take some care and effort to keep performing at the level you want. By no means is it going to require the blood, sweat, and tears that it took to reach this new plateau but just say lets make sure you are leveraging your knowledge and experience from building it to keep it where it is and actually get it ready for the next round of growth if that is something you desire.
1. Develop a "to do" list to keep your current level maintained
2. Look for ways to keep your business in the eyes of your customers and prospects
3. Create fresh new activities for your business to stay involved in the community
4. Interact with your customers and prospects - reach out to them regularly to say hello and see how they are doing.
5. Use the holidays and anniversaries to say thank you for their business and to recognize the impact they make on your bottom line. - Gratitude!
Stay the course and continue taking care of the foundation you have just built until you are ready to put on an addition and watch your baby grow again!
