EPISODE #161

My #1 Business Growth Strategy

#161: My #1 Business Growth Strategy

Community is, without doubt, the number one asset in our lives and business (other than ourselves – and we are a part of the community)

The type of community that we surround ourselves with is a reflection of who we are. It helps us generate and test out our ideas, build our network, create opportunities for ourselves and others, collaborate with people to create new things and more. 

The more encouragement, space, and support we have around us, the more we are able to flourish.

I strongly believe that community is my own, and should be everyones, #1 business and personal growth strategy.

In this time of mass isolation, the trap we can find ourselves in is perpetuating our feelings of isolation by trying to do everything ourselves, to not reach out for support, to think we have to do life alone. Even my own energy is very determined and resilient, but that can lead me to think I can do everything on my own by sheer will. I convince myself that I can do everything alone – even though I can’t.

But not everything in life is meant to be done alone.

If you’re currently in a place of feeling “stuck”, this might be a clue that you’re trying to figure it out on your own. How can you look for support?

Pretending that our success comes solely from our own effort often comes from our ego. Our desire to prove that we did everything ourselves. You’ve heard me talk about the concept of being self-made before, and how I believe none of us are self made. We are an accumulation of all the interactions we’ve had throughout our lives – good, bad or neutral. 

We are who we are based on the people around us and we have to take responsibility over finding and nurturing who those people are. 

One of the most valuable questions I have asked myself, that has significantly helped me create the business I have is… “how can I find the people, who become my people”…. Whether that be friends, mentors, collaborators, clients, or any combination of those, a strong network and community is integral to not only our mental health, but the success of our business as well. 

If you want to hear more on this topic, check out this week’s podcast episode above.

On the episode, I cover:

  • Cultivating community and friendships
  • How to nurture all parts of yourself through diversifying your communities
  • Feeling isolated in your entrepreneurial journey
  • How community has helped me grow my business 

I believe in you – you are doing way better than you realize!
