They say the problem with progress is it has no end.
As a business owner, you’re always thinking of ways to grow and more than likely doing any action possible to make this happen. However, your actions may be misguided.
Your job is not to figure out the how in your home care business. Today, we’re going to break down what your one and simple role is and exactly what the job description is for this role. No matter what position you’re in, the following formula will work. All it takes is knowing what you want.
Taking Intuitive Action
One tricky aspect of business is being in a logical place and not emotional. Emotions are hardly welcomed in any workplace. However, emotions are crucial to a business’s growth. Thinking about it, everything we do is guided by emotion.
- Sometimes we are bored or lazy and choose to procrastinate
- Sometimes we are distracted and miss tasks
- Sometimes we are upset and do our tasks in a mediocre way
- Sometimes we are highly stressed, take on more than we can do, then burn out and call in sick
- Sometimes we are insecure to take a brave next step
- Sometimes we get scarcity mindset and impatience, then take on more debt to save our bottom line
Every one of these points carry emotions behind them. All our efforts are driven by a thought, which is then driven by a feeling. Most of the time, we’re feeling negative and that means our tasks are rushed more than they are intuitively aligned.
Your Job
Be intuitive. No task you do should come from any feeling except for an internal knowing it is the right move in this moment. To know if you’re using intuition, just think about what it’d feel like once the task is complete. Intuition will never make you feel insecure. You will only feel inspired and accomplished. If you think you’ll feel shame or remorse, it’s probably an action taken out of desperation to “get ahead” – when really, you’d just be setting yourself back.
Your Role: The Asker
Your role is to ask for what you want, but you won’t be asking just anyone or any being. You’re going to ask yourself what you want. Do you want growth? What does growth look like to you?
Your Job Description
Once you know what you want, it can be hard to imagine what it all looks like or how to achieve it. For instance, let’s say you have a lot of turnovers of caregivers in your agency. If you want the highest quality caregivers that deliver better companion care for your Atlanta in home care agency, then follow the next steps:
- Close your eyes and begin to visualize your agency with these types of caregivers. See yourself receiving outstanding applications and interviewing them. How are they dressed? How do they speak?
- Now see them working with your seniors. How do they show their care style? How do the seniors appear?
- Next, see them turning in their reports and managing their patients. When they’re behind-the-scenes, how professional do they seem?
- Imagine them feeling prideful to work for your agency. See them prioritizing their personal life to ensure a great day of work.
- See your business getting 5-star reviews and rewarding your caregivers. Are you offering them promotions? Are you now able to afford more hours for them or a raise? Is word catching on that you have the best caregivers in Atlanta so much that your phone is ringing nonstop from those seeking services?
Essentially, you are trying to generate emotions. These emotions will start out in your gut and will build up to the top of your head. All you need to do is feel these emotions strongly and do this meditation practice often. You can even simply tap into the feelings you had and try to remember them, embodying yourself as the business owner with the best caregivers around.
It doesn’t matter if you already have these caregivers or not. What matters is that you begin living as if you already have them.
Wait for Your How to Arrive
After you do your meditation, which is your largest job duty, you will now wait to receive the “tests”. These tests will be random and surprising. For instance, after your meditation, you may get a call from each of your caregivers throughout the next month telling you they no longer want to work for you and decide to quit, one-by-one.
Initially, you’d react and become desperate to change the situation. You may even give them all a raise or promotion, even though you know they aren’t great or highly reviewed caregivers. Remember to be intuitive…
You need to decide here and now if this is simply the universe clearing the path for your new high-quality caregivers. You can instead take what you felt in your meditation and intuitively create a job ad while embodying those emotions. Create this with the intention that you will be hiring the best that your region has to offer. Then watch them roll in.
If you need to take time out to cry over the loss of caregivers, do so. However, although it may not seem like it now, this is evidence that your meditation worked. The simple act in feeling the emotions of success strongly is all you need to do first. After that, your only task is to look out for and follow through on the tests.
If you decide to hustle and promote a terrible caregiver to keep them from quitting, you will waste a lot of time and money and you will hardly meet any of those higher qualified caregivers.
If you decide to let them go and put out a new ad with new intentions, you will begin to reap the rewards of your desires.
