What questions to ask when your business needs to change - a podcast by Stephanie Pollock

As we jump headfirst into 2017, you’re probably thinking a lot about where you want to take your business this year. And if you know that it’s time for a change, today’s Beyond PRO Podcast will help you ask yourself the right questions.

A couple of quick housekeeping items before we get into the heart of today’s content.

If you’re in planning mode for 2017 (or need to be), I’m running a free email course called Plan with Purpose 2017. In it, I walk you step-by-step through my planning process. You can register for it by clicking here

I wanted to share that last week, Entrepreneur Magazine named this podcast as one of 24 Exceptional Women-Hosted Podcasts for Entrepreneurs in 2017. I am thrilled to be included in such amazing company, and I wanted to thank all my long-term listeners for their support, and welcome my new listeners to the podcast. Thank you. I have big plans for the podcast in 2017.

Now onto today’s content —

Last week we spoke about what to do if you’re facing a crisis of confidence. If you want to go listen to that episode, you can find it here.

One of the challenges that can easily put the most confident entrepreneur into a tailspin is when they realize that their business needs to change. It might be small, it might be big or somewhere in between, but regardless – something has to shift (and most likely soon).

You know your business needs to change when:

• You’re no longer excited to do your work (day after day, not just once in awhile)
• You’ve plateaued for an extended period of time
• You’re bored with your work or your clients or your message
• You’re not achieving any of your goals
• Your motivation is so low, you’re just not getting the work done
• Your work is no longer aligned with your values (or you’re just waking up to that fact that it never was)
• You’re receiving recurring messages from your audience or the same question/problem keeps coming up and you’re not addressing it, or you don’t want to address it
• You’re not aligned anymore – you’re not extracting enough meaning
• Your marketplace has changed/shifted and it’s no longer relevant
• You’re feeling called to something else – period.
• You’re burnt out, exhausted and seriously considering a day job
• Your business isn’t extracting enough ROI to make it worth continuing as is

Listen to today’s episode and learn how you can bounce back after a crisis of confidence. 

Ok, we made it to the other side. I hope this episode has been helpful for you as you navigate any changes you need to make. I’ve got faith that you can make 2017 the best year of your business yet.

And I wanted to let you know that if you’re navigating a change in your business, big or small, and want some help figuring out all the pieces, I’d love to help. I’m currently accepting new Leadership Coaching clients. You can learn more about that here, and I’m happy to hop on the phone with you first to make sure we’re a good fit.

Thanks again for listening, and I’ll be back in your earbuds soon.
