The Three Phases of Business Design - Polly Hearsey

I know you can feel that this year is the one where you make big strides, but your wheels are spinning. 

It’s only mid-January but still... you want to feel as though you are making real progress from the outset.

You’ve laid it all out. You’ve done the groundwork but it still feels muddled, confusing and hard to navigate and that’s already poking at your confidence.

You won't back down though. 

2025 is a year of opportunity. There will be doors opening everywhere. You feel it in your bones. 

You will need the confidence to walk through them.

The necessary confidence does not come from a shiny new strategy. You feel a little more together but it is not going to develop the impetus you need to boldly engage in the opportunities that will take your business up a few notches.

You and I both know that your determination is extraordinary but we all need pointing in the right direction every now and then.

Plans founder because of the way they are created – focusing on external actions.

Isn’t that the point of plans? Well yes, it is. 

However...

There are three phases of entrepreneurship that give you the foundations to make bold moves.

The essence of who you are

The shape and impact of your work

The shape of your business

When these get all mixed up (as they do routinely in mainstream business) you get mixed up too and wheels spin.

If you don’t know how to un-mix them, you will throw yourself into fixes for your actions and invest heavily in learning new tools that still don’t get you any traction. Which wastes valuable time and money when you could be transforming your clients' lives instead. 

When you learn how to work with each phase of internal and external growth, you have impetus and movement. Suddenly you are taking meaningful and easy actions which lead to expansion and your business feels lighter.

You feel lighter too – more hopeful and positive, which elevates your audience and gets them engaging. Energy starts moving and momentum builds and the big strides for the year come easily.

If you want an early re-boot, dip into 2025 Ahead of the Curve to build your foundations for your breakthrough year.

Or focus that determination into unstoppable momentum with one-to-one support on the phase(s) of growth that you need most.

The door is open...
