To Succeed In Business You Must Take Cues From Nature

Oct. 31, 2011 - PRLog -- Here in Utah the season is changing. It's becoming cold. The leaves are transforming into reds, oranges, and yellows. The leaves then drift from the trees to the ground. Nature is preparing for winter to come. Often time we can take cues from nature on how to grow successful businesses. What can we learn from preparing for winter and its bitter cold for our business? One thing is to slow down and prepare to go deep about what we want to do and accomplish in our business instead of being on the fast track of the rat race going from one thing to another without really analyzing the actions steps we are taking.

When we explore the brilliance and opportunities that are around us changes take place. It's critical to periodically take really deep looks at our business, not just all the work and fluff, but uncovering:

*Why we are in business? *Where do we want to go in our business? *Who are niche? *Who do we want to work with? *What is our perfect work life balance? *What are the opportunities we would like to capture? *What is the legacy do we want to leave in business?

When we focus on these kinds of questions, we learn who we want to be and where we want to grow our business. Then we can look at our busy "to do" list and decide if what we are doing is supporting are overarching goals. Is what we are doing going to be important a week from now? A month? Or even a year? Or is it busy work that we feel we have to do out of obligation because other people are telling us we should do. Maybe we doing it because it seems like it should be done. When we brutally refine what needs to be done to get to the next level amazing clarity comes. After that, it is necessary to take actions that are critical to bringing in revenue and building relationship. If we do revenue producing activities first and only second do all the other stuff then our businesses will transform into greater health. This laser-like focus gives energy we need to weather any storm that comes our way.

As you look at your business, are you about to go into a symbolic winter? Do you want to encourage the rebirth in your business? Or maybe your business is going into spring and preparing for more growth? No matter the stage your business is in take cues from nature go deep.
