Through a recent interaction with business coach Grant Newland, the importance of this was brought to the fore of our conversation. But it is not just about growing businesses; it\u2019s about developing people, families, and communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s easy to think that growth will \u2018just happen\u2019 organically, but if we don\u2019t have a growth mindset, it probably won\u2019t happen at all. Change happens organically, but not growth, and change can mean many different things. Dave and Hester Vaughan, business and life coaches at Lifestyle Coach, often say that we need to go through a process of construction, deconstruction and reconstruction. This process helps create a high-level view of what a growth journey could look like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what does that look like on a practical level? How can we start ensuring that we\u2019re on a growth path?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newland suggests that we simplify this process by looking at what\u2019s holding us back and focusing on fixing those things. We articulate the problems, blindspots, biases or stumbling blocks, and then we take action to address them (construction, deconstruction and reconstruction).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, we articulate and act.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding this is the first step; putting it into action often requires guidance, help and accountability &#8211; which is why advisers, coaches and mentors play such a vital role in our growth journey. In reality, when it\u2019s your life, family or business, you will probably find many things that need fixing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the journey of articulating what\u2019s holding us back, we need to perform a sort of triage where we identify what we need to address and work with first. The whole point of deconstruction and reconstruction is so that we can build back better. We need to deep dive and do what many coaches call \u201cthe hard work\u201d. But, if we try to fix multiple projects simultaneously, we can become overwhelmed and ineffective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">James Clear, the author of Atomic Habits, said, \u201cChoosing the priority is as important as working on it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating an effective, life-changing plan involves articulating what needs to be done and then putting it into action, whether it\u2019s a business, life, financial, or any other plan. If we don\u2019t, we will not see the growth we hoped for, and we will be in exactly the same place a year, two, three or five from now.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We need to be strategic about growth and not just hope it will happen organically.
