The Entrepreneurial Strategy You Didn’t Know You Needed

by Angela Kristen Taylor

When we think about building and growing a business, one of the first words that comes to mind is strategy. For most, their business strategy is built around social media, networking, a strong business
plan, and a goal of being the most productive version of themselves they can be. They may hire a coach or attend training, buy the best planner, set goals, and still struggle with getting themselves to perform
to their own expectations daily. Just like in a game of chess though, a truly functional strategy must consider all angles, all potentialities, and manage risk well.

So, what is the best strategy to becoming a truly productive and successful business owner?

First, we must consider all the angles. Productivity is rooted in emotion. It doesn’t matter how many coaches you work with, how many training programs you enroll in, how many books you read, planners
you buy, or videos you watch, if you feel yucky on the inside, you’re not going to do the things you know you’re supposed to.

This means you need to look at how you feel on the inside. Most entrepreneurs are building their own business out of a strong desire to not be under someone else’s control, partnered with a passion for
bringing something to the world (a product or service) that serves others by providing something the entrepreneur needed at some stage in their own life but did not have available to them or by having it introduced to them, it made all the difference. There’s nearly always a negative experience that serves
as a catalyst to the entrepreneurial vision and their desire to help others.

Entrepreneurs are driven by this emotion. But underneath all that passion to serve others is a deeprooted subconscious belief that they’ll never make it successful, no one will want what they have tooffer, no one will see it for what it truly is, no one will want to hear them or see them and no one will…
basically they fear rejection and abandonment. They fear loss. This comes from the exact negative experiences that created their vision to begin with. Working on building a business can be a constant roller coaster of emotions where one minute the focus is all high on positive strategy and the next it’s
low in self-doubt and negative self-talk. Their strategy becomes more desperate, more panicked, and less well-reasoned as their fears become reality- a form of emotional manifestation, what you think becomes what you experience.

Yet the most successful entrepreneurs are the ones who understand this fact. You see them on social media posting about their early morning workouts, their healthy meals, and their time off with family and friends, engaging in experiences, often outdoors. They’ll talk about their pain, the negative
experiences that caused them to hit rock bottom and their difficult journey back up and onward. Most importantly, they surround themselves with a supportive team, they process all the potentialities of the game of life and manage their risk by eliminating loneliness and anything else that could bring their energy down. They keep themselves focused on creating positive emotions and see their negative experiences as only part of the journey.

But what about those entrepreneurs who are just starting out? The ones who are stuck all alone in their house, trying to build something important, but still doubting themselves daily. The ones stuck in their journey. How do they go from lonely solopreneur to successful team leader and business owner?
A new solution has just been introduced, allowing the currently successful to guide the struggling beginners and it’s a strategy that has the potential to create a huge ripple effect in the world as entrepreneurs with big visions, big passion, and big ideas aren’t stopped in their tracks by negative self doubt but instead are supported, encouraged, and held up by a community of peers.

Imagine a video game world, a virtual 3D environment where instead of showing up brandishing a sword and ready to defeat trolls and goblins, it’s a campus full of entrepreneurs, some there to teach and some
there to learn. A space where, in avatar form, you can walk into a room, sit at a table and work together with others on getting your next quarter’s social media strategy down. There’s a copywriter on hand, a
marketing strategist, a branding specialist, and customizable templates available. You can put your ideas up on a screen and get instant feedback from the experts and your peers. Think you’ll get more
accomplished this way? What about doing the same for every other aspect of your business you need to sit down and accomplish a task for?

Imagine feeling those low and negative feelings of self-doubt creeping in and so instead of following that rabbit hole, you jump into the virtual world and meet with a mindset coach, attend a guided meditation session, or jump into a support group meeting. Then once you’re feeling more positive, you attend a
training class, a workshop, or meet with some friends you’ve connected with in the space so you can just work side by side on your own businesses, occasionally asking a question, getting feedback, or
helping them with the same.

Because this space is focused on all the needs of entrepreneurs, there’s something there for all aspects of entrepreneurial life. It’s not just about business, because a true strategy is never just about the surface is it? It’s about all potentialities. Will a relationship issue prevent you from being productive?

What about working from home with kids, having trouble sleeping, or managing your money? Of course,
they will and so all those areas and more are covered in this space, in addition to all the business help you could dream of and getting the support of others who truly understand what you’re experiencing
because they’re experiencing it right along with you.

Like a game of chess, your strategy as an entrepreneur needs to be complete in order to win and you cannot just play haphazardly and expect to get ahead, and now there’s a place all entrepreneurs can go to win every single day. It’s called The Limitless Collaborative and it has been designed as a global space for entrepreneurs to work together, learn together, and grow together… because together, we are limitless.
