Questions to Ask Yourself Regularly

When is the last time you checked in on yourself? It’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day of working or running a business, but make it a priority to check in on yourself on a regular basis - daily, if needed. Hold yourself accountable, ask yourself where you can improve, and establish both short and long-term goals to work toward. What’s most important is to be honest with yourself in order to set yourself up for both progress and success - self-reflection is an essential part of continuing to grow. 

Whether you’re a business owner, employer, or employee, there are some questions you should challenge yourself with on a monthly basis…

1. How much effort do I put in on a daily basis? Am I constantly working at 100% or could I be more motivated? 
2. What are some of my weaknesses or downfalls? Where can I improve?
3. What are some of my strengths? 
4. What do I hope to accomplish in the short-term? What about the long-term? 
5. What steps am I taking to make my goals a reality?

As a new business owner…

1. Are we offering our customers/clients a service/product they need or desire?
2. How we are better than our competition and how are we showing that?
3. Are we prepared to adapt at a moment’s notice? If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that you need to act quickly and efficiently. 

As an employer…

1. Do my employees have the resources they need to do their jobs successfully? 
2. What is the company atmosphere/environment like?
3. How can I continue to keep my employees motivated?

As an employee…

1. How am I creating a positive impact on this company/business and our customers/clients?
2. When is the last time I have gone above and beyond? 
3. Am I an active team member or do I keep to myself? And, is this impacting my ability to my job?
