How do You tell What is Working?

There are times when 'what is working' is not so obvious - in fact, sometimes it feels like nothing is working at all! However, there is always something that is working, and often it is the criteria that you use that are not working. For example, I have a horrible habit of making my 'it's working' criteria about more money. So, if I make 5p less one month, suddenly nothing is working? Not quite true...and a very narrow view of 'what is working'.

Finances are important to a business, of course they are. But they are not EVERYTHING.
There are also many others aspects of the business - for me, success is money + joy + service + growth + passion...plus quite a few other things now I think about it. So even if the money isn't working, what is working? I left money out of my answer today, and here's what's working when I forget about the cash:
- I am LOVING what I am doing
- Blogging and writing newsletters is fun and easy
- the help I get from other people with my business
- what I do is working really well for me and my clients
- I am meeting people
- I am deepening connections with people
- I am totally connected to service
- there are lots of potential opportunities in all directions

Okay, so I am not earning £64 million this month...but there's still a lot of stuff working!

What is working for you?

Love
