Mindset Shift: How a Change in Perspective Can Bring Back Purpose and Productivity
I’ve come to realize that your business is an extension of yourself. It’s like a child you’ve been nurturing year after year, waiting to see the fruits of your labor blossom. But as with any journey, there are waves—moments of highs and lows. Sometimes, those lows feel like you’ll never recover.
From my own experience, there have been times when I wanted to quit—and, honestly, I have quit. I’ve had moments where I forgot why I started or questioned if it was all worth it. That’s part of the journey. And it’s all rooted in mindset.
Your business mirrors the care and attention you give yourself. If you’re feeling lost, uninspired, or stuck, it’s often a sign that your purpose has become unclear. When that happens, productivity naturally takes a hit. You might find yourself frozen, thinking about how far you are from where you want to be or focusing on all the things that aren’t “right.”
This is where you commit to shifting your mindset.
Getting Back to Your Purpose and Productivity
Sit with it
Acknowledge what you’re feeling and reflect on it. Avoid rushing to fix things immediately. Give yourself space to process.Remember Your Why
Ask yourself: Why did I start this business? What impact do I want to create? You may think you know - but you obviously may have forgotten and this is a way to tap back in.Let Go of What Doesn’t Serve You
What are the tasks, habits, or even mindsets that no longer align with your goals. Freeing yourself from these can create space for clarity and action.Recommit to Your Vision
Create a small goal that brings you closer to your purpose. This could be as simple as brainstorming fresh ideas or completing one impactful task.
Feeling disconnected from your business is normal—it’s part of growth. But by shifting your mindset, you can turn those moments into opportunities to refocus, realign, and raise the bar.
If anyone can do it, it’s you. It’s your journey and the vision is within your reach.
