If you had to hire someone to fill in for you and completely take over your business, would you hire yourself? Your immediate response is likely, “Well, of course!” And I’m so glad you feel that way. Look at Your Direct Sales Business from a Completely Different LensI’m also here to challenge you to peel back the layers and look at any holes where you could true-up some key areas. Really, truly, look at every aspect of you as a candidate for hire in the most crucial role in your organization. You, the leader! This exercise encourages you to look at your business from a completely different lens. You have your strong points and you have your opportunities. We all do. When I work with my VIP clients, they tell me the strength and weaknesses assessment & application work we do is one of the biggest difference-makers for them as a leader. You have tasks and responsibilities with your Direct Sales business that you absolutely love! And there are other areas that you simply don’t enjoy or don’t feel you’re good at. You simply avoid these areas for one reason or another. The things you love and the things you avoid as a Direct Sales Leader are unique to you for valid and important reasons. The issue is not that you have areas you avoid and don’t enjoy. The important point is to know *what* those key areas are and be aware. It’s normal and simply part of entrepreneurship that we have areas of business we don’t love or look forward to. There are two parts to this exercise. What Do You LOVE Doing in Your Direct Sales Business? Part 1, what are your key strengths, the areas you love about running your business? Brain-dump a list of things that come to mind for you. These are traits you would definitely look for in someone who was taking over your business. The importance of identifying these areas is to help you feel validated, acknowledged, and to maintain a forward focus. What are you good at? What do you love? Encouraging others? Helping women make healthful decisions? Supporting women who also want to grow their business?Reading people? There’s so much more.What else? Again, you’re identifying these areas to feel validated, acknowledged, and to maintain a forward focus in each. Good job! Keep up the great work. On to Part 2. What Areas Are You Putting Off in Your Direct Sales Business? Part 2 requires you to be honest with yourself. It won’t hurt to sprinkle in a little tough love. Identify the areas you don’t enjoy, look forward to, you avoid for any number of reasons. Some of these areas are a little more black and white. Some may feel a little more personal as if they speak to your character. For Part 2 and much more on growing in your Direct Sales leadership role go to crazybigdreams.biz/16.
