I often relate the process of turning your business around to that of riding a roller coaster for the first time. You are waiting in line, anxious, nervous and curious all at the same time. It is finally your turn, and you hop into a seat, buckle up, and at this point you are fully committed.
 

You have no option, but to go for it.
 

There is that moment when you are still climbing of both trust and release. At the top of the hill, there is a 2 second pause of complete silence where you almost lose your breath completely. At this point, you must trust you will be brought back home safely. You scream and laugh through the rest of the ride and the coaster starts to slow down and eventually stop. You unbuckle yourself, and walk off the ride with a sense of satisfaction and exhilaration.
 

That wasn’t as scary as you thought it would be. That same feeling is probably the one you will have when you finally decide to change the direction of your business.
 

Yes, reaching a turning point in your business is a process. But it’s important and connected to many things. It is never just one thing that involves change, but a series of cyclical events and goals in which everything shifts and changes. I discovered the following five steps that made a difference as I pushed forward in my business:
 

I became incredibly self-aware of my surroundings and decided not to place blame on other people, lack of experience, the system or the platform I was using. If this sounds familiar, commit to take charge of your life and destiny. Nobody else can control your actions or results except you.
 

As I looked back at previous turning points in my business, I realized they were always the result of attending live events. After every single one, there was a big spurt of energy and production in my business. Commit to attending as many live events as your budget will allow.
 

I set a specific deadline for myself. If I was not making money in my business by December 22nd, then I thought I could be not the business platform or system, but me. I would look in the mirror and decide whether or not to move forward, because you must have some capital or make money to have a business. I needed a cold, hard deadline to prove this was not going to be a hobby, but a business.
 

It is easy to have a back-up plan in the back of your mind. Just in case your business doesn’t make it. I had to become fully committed to making my business work and eliminate the “what if” plan from my thinking.
 

I realized that not only did I need a mentor, but I also needed to TRUST their process. Become incredibly receptive to the concept that you are in good hands. Put blinders on and focus on the actions they are guiding you to do.

Remember, action and expectations are the key. What actions are you taking and what actions are you expecting as a result of your actions? Sure, there may be times when you may find yourself reverting back to blame and excuses, but keep going back to step 1 and commit all over again. The only person that will build your business and change where you are headed is YOU! Get rid of plan B and move forward to experience your breakthrough.
