You As You Prefer?)

Business
is about revenue and income streams and how they are ful- filled or not. This
of course applies to online and offline businesses. And we already know this,
it's a fact, basic Business 101.
The question is, how do we measure the
success of our business? Do we measure it by the number of newsletter subscribers
we have or the number of widgets we sell?
Many people use in their ad campaigns
numbers of memberships and numbers of widgets sold. But it comes down to, are
we making the money we want to make to live the life we prefer?
This is
where we really have to get clear. We have to ask: What's my goal, a million subscribers
or a business that I love that also fully supports my lifestyle. From an energetic
point of view, those are completely different intentions.
I don't know about
you, but I get tons of newsletters that I never even read. And I even subscribed
to them. And odds being what they are, I'm in the majority. Heck, there are people
that probably don't read my stuff either. But guess what, that's not how I measure
my success in my business.
I measure my success by how my business supports
me and the continuing direction it takes my lifestyle. I don't do what I do as
a hobby. I made it a point early on to build a business that I love and that loves
me back. One of the forms it loves me back, is in how it supports me. It's the
Law of The Circle applied to The Art of Business.
This goes for writers
of books, consultant types, tire salesmen and the like.
Too many of us have
not gotten clear on what it really is that we want our business to be and do,
and that lack of clarity costs us our life- styles and our peace of mind. Meaning,
we're not having much fun on a consistent basis.
And on top of that we are
robbing Peter to pay Paul, and Peter is getting pissed. We do it energetically
and we do it with our money.
1 million tires sold, New York Best Seller's
list, and 1 million news- letter subscribers, does not a lifestyle make if you
can't have the lifestyle you prefer.
I know many who have toted large subscriber bases but can't
seem to accrue any money to live as they want from it. The
same goes for those who say they want their books to be at
the top of best seller lists.
They don't really know what that *means* in dollars and cents.
And for those of us that sell tires, and we've sold a million
of them, are we living the lifestyle we want?
The new higher question to ask ourselves is not how many subs-
cribers, or tires, it's how do I want my life to look? And then we shape our business
with skills to bring us that life. We have to do it backwards from the way that
we keep being told we have to do it.
The only thing we really *have to do*
is to ask ourselves how we want our lives to look, and then use a new energetic
skill level to bring us that life.
