Listen "Are You Winging It in Business?"
Episode Synopsis
Be honest with yourself for a moment… Do you ever feel like you’re just making it up as you go?You started your business because you wanted freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment. But instead of feeling confident and in control, you sometimes feel like you’re throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks.That’s what I call “winging it.” And while it might get you started, it won’t get you where you want to go.Here are 7 signs you’re winging it in your business, and why it’s time to build stronger foundations.1. You don’t know your break-even pointYou’re selling, you’re working, but you don’t actually know the minimum you need to earn to cover your costs. That uncertainty keeps you on edge.2. You’re focused only on clients or salesYou put all your energy into serving clients or making sales, but little thought into the business side - the systems, numbers, and structures that make growth possible.3. Your systems live in your head (or on scraps of paper)If someone else had to step in tomorrow, they wouldn’t know where to start. You know things could be smoother, but you haven’t taken the time to set them up.4. Growth feels inconsistentSome months are good, others leave you wondering if this will ever really work. Without a plan, it’s hard to build predictable success.5. You haven’t defined your true strengthsYou know you’re capable, but you’re not clear on what makes you different - or how to leverage that in your business.6. You haven’t tuned into your bigger purposeYou’ve been so busy serving others that you haven’t stopped to ask: What do I really want? What am I here to create?7. You feel like you’re winging itDeep down, you know this isn’t sustainable. You want to feel confident, clear, and in control of your business - not constantly second-guessing yourself.Here’s the truth. If you see yourself in even two or three of these signs, it’s time to stop winging it.Because your business doesn’t just need you to work harder, it needs stronger foundations. Clarity around your numbers. Systems that make things easier. Confidence in your strengths and purpose.And the good news? You don’t have to figure it out on your own.Ready to Build Your Foundations?
