Taking Action
In business, you sometimes just need to take action. You may not know the best action to take, but you still need to take action regardless.
The path to your next action is through trial and error, and while you can learn from others' experiences, your trials and errors will often teach you the most.
Even if you start your business or year armed with a well-developed plan, there’s a slim chance that things will come to life exactly how you planned them out. The unexpected happens–delays, turbulence, lost luggage–and you’re forced to adapt. You move from following a plan to following an approach.
This is the essence of “Build It As You Fly”. It’s a realistic approach to building and operating viable small businesses, and we’re on a mission to normalize this approach because it is how so many amazing small businesses get built.
The Build It As You Fly approach doesn’t excuse you from being organized in your work, intentional with your leadership style, or otherwise thoughtful in how you move about your day–it does however, explain why a plan isn’t enough.
Action brings clarity, and clarity brings confidence. With confidence, you gain momentum that keeps your plane off the ground and on course, even as you’re building it to fly.
If you need help with your next actions, our Drop-In Coaching service was designed for this very thing.
