The Journey on your way to level up continues
The Journey on your way to level up continues. Today we are going to be adding to your toolkit to level up in your business.
In my last blog, Embody your next level version of yourself, we talked about how to get started. Your starting steps were to visualize your success story, develop a growth mindset and elevate your leadership presence. If you haven’t read it, click here to read that first. Then come back and step into three more steps to leveling up.
In business, there are a lot of moving parts. Oh I feel like I say that a lot. And it’s so true. Sometimes each day brings something new and often, unexpected.
Let’s talk about the next three steps to take as you level up.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step – Lao Tzu
Next steps for you to level up
- Refine Decision-Making Skills: When it comes to going to the next level in business, you need to be adept at making decisions. In order to grow in business, you need to have the ability to make well-informed choices under pressure. Analyze risks, trust your intuition, and remain adaptable. Each decision shapes your path toward success.
- Continuous Skill Mastery: Embodying your next level self involves a commitment to mastering relevant skills. Stay updated with your industry trends, embrace emerging technologies, and hone your craft. As you evolve, so should your skillset. That said, don’t play whack-a-mole and jump on board every new technology. Be sure you are using your decision-making skills to determine if that new technology or social platform is indeed for you.
- Delegate with Precision: Upleveling requires recognizing that you can’t do it all. Oh do my clients hate it when we get to this point. Whenever we have the conversation about delegation, they bristle. But here is the thing, you can’t do it all and you needn’t be doing it all. You need to be in your brilliance (or said another way, your zone of genius). Delegate tasks that aren’t your brilliance that only you can do, this allows you to focus on your high-impact activities. Effective delegation empowers both you and your team.
Knowing when it’s time to step into your next level
So many times clients will say to me or even colleagues, I feel stuck, I don’t really love what I’m doing or it’s not working anymore.
That is often the tell-tale signs of it’s time to step into your next level. And remember to do that you need to do something different. I’ll even say you need to BE someone different. What you did to get where you are now, may not get you to where you want to go.
And when that happens, go back to the first three steps and begin again.
If you already know you it’s time to go to the next level, here you go, you have a total of six ways for you to level up as they say. And more are coming.
In the next installment, I’ll be sharing four more amazing steps for you to incorporate into yourself and your business so be sure to come back for those.
In the meantime, let me ask you this, which one of today’s steps was most valuable to you or that you are most excited about embracing?

Hi Kim, I am embarking on the final (4th) phase you talked about and am having to constantly remind myself that this is a ‘positive’ step and the ‘right’ step. It’s a Shaklee-sponsored Wellness Group initiative my mentors invited me into to do with them. It’s a bit out of my comfort zone as I am now working diligently to learn and understand the process. They started this 3 weeks ago while I was still at the Cape, so I am jumping in late. I will let you know how this progresses as I strive to fully adopt and feel comfortable joining them. I will send you an invitation to help you understand what I have decided to ‘step up to’ in my quest to move my business to another level. Thanks for all your suggestions.
Hi Emily, how wonderful. It’s exciting and yet a little scary to embark on something outside of our comfort zones. Yet, there is so much more we can experience when we do! Excited to hear what you experience from you deciding to “step up to” in your quest to move your business to the next level!
