Business Growth Through New Perspectives

Unlocking Perspective: Why Breaking Away is Essential for Business Growth

Recently, I had the opportunity to gain a full perspective on my business during a trip. One important lesson I learned is the necessity to break away completely. This means disconnecting from social media, limiting cell phone use, and taking the time to truly know oneself.

As the saying goes, “The grass is always greener on the other side.” Breaking away may sound unconventional, but it could be the key to saving your business. Often, we get so caught up in the daily grind that we fail to see the present and future because we’re busy trying to catch up from the past.

“You’ll be amazed at what you will see when you’re not looking.”

There are times when we become so deeply immersed in a situation that we can’t see the light. Whatever mistakes you’re making in your business right now, you may never truly realize them until you step away from it.

So, what does it mean to break away? It means taking a genuine vacation, completely disconnecting. When you’re fully immersed, you’re drowning and can’t breathe. It’s important to include regular vacations in your schedule, especially as an entrepreneur. Take time for yourself, at least once every three months, even if it’s just a couple of days.

During a recent long trip while dealing with a family crisis, I was forced to take a break from work. It turned out to be a blessing. I took an entire month off and only checked emails every four to five days.

One thing became abundantly clear while reading my emails: 99% of them were useless, offering no benefit to me. They were from people who wanted something from me without offering anything in return. In business, it’s crucial to create a win/win/win situation for yourself, your clients, and your target audience. If all three parties aren’t benefiting, it’s not worth it.

By trying to be everything to everyone, I was hindering my own growth while others were profiting from my hard work. It was time to prioritize my passion first, my target audience second, and my clients third. There’s no room for anything that upsets this balance. Here’s to breaking away and gaining a fresh perspective on business.
