Follow Your North Star: Business Coaching with Success Principles
Sep 08, 2024Follow Your North Star: How I Guide Entrepreneurs to Unlock Success Using The Success Principles
As a certified business coach, trained by Jack Canfield’s Success Principles: Train the Trainer program, I believe every entrepreneur has an internal GPS—what I like to call their North Star. This is the guiding force that aligns your passion, purpose, and potential. It’s what directs you toward success, even when doubt or fear may cloud the path.
At Find Your North Star LLC, my mission is to help entrepreneurs and business owners navigate their journey by reconnecting with their internal compass. The process is simple: you set your vision, remove obstacles, and follow the roadmap designed uniquely for you. Let’s explore how I integrate Success Principles into my coaching, so you can create lasting success.
Clarify Your Vision and Align With Your North Star
The first step in creating a successful business is knowing where you want to go. I always tell my clients: “Before we plan, we need to get clear on your North Star.” This isn’t just about setting financial goals, it’s about defining your purpose—your why.
As an entrepreneur, your business is a reflection of your values and vision. I coach my clients to visualize their business not just for the next few months, but for the next five years and beyond. Ask yourself:
• What is your North Star? What’s driving you?
• How will your business serve others and bring value to your clients?
• How do you envision your personal and professional life blending together as you grow your company?
By getting clear on your vision, you begin to see the path ahead. This clarity gives you direction and purpose, and we use this as the foundation for everything that follows.
Take 100% Responsibility for Your Business
One of the most powerful principles I share from Jack Canfield is the importance of taking 100% responsibility for your results. In the world of entrepreneurship, challenges and setbacks are inevitable. However, the difference between those who succeed and those who don’t is the ability to take ownership of the outcomes.
I remind my clients that their North Star remains constant, but the journey is up to them. It’s about owning your choices and decisions—whether they lead to success or lessons learned. I coach my clients to ask themselves:
• What can I do today to move closer to my North Star?
• How can I shift my mindset to see challenges as opportunities?
• What actions can I take to create the outcomes I desire?
Success comes from taking control of your journey and realizing that you have the power to navigate through any situation.
Set Strategic Goals That Align With Your North Star
Goal-setting is key to any successful business, but I guide my clients to ensure their goals align with their North Star. It’s not about setting goals for the sake of it; it’s about being intentional with every step.
I encourage my clients to set SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. This is where clarity turns into actionable steps. For example, instead of setting a vague goal like “I want to grow my business,” I coach you to define your target and how you plan to get there: “I will increase my monthly sales by 15% over the next three months by launching a new digital product.”
I believe that setting goals is not only about growth, but about purpose. Every goal should bring you one step closer to fulfilling your mission.
Overcome Limiting Beliefs and Trust Your GPS
Limiting beliefs are like roadblocks on the path to success. One of the most rewarding aspects of coaching is helping my clients break through these barriers. Fear of failure, imposter syndrome, or self-doubt can derail even the most motivated entrepreneurs.
I always tell my clients: “You already have everything you need to succeed. Your North Star has led you this far, and it will continue to guide you.”
Together, we work to replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones:
• “I’m capable of building a thriving business.”
• “I’m worthy of success and all the opportunities ahead.”
• “I have the tools and resources to overcome any challenge.”
With a positive mindset and a focus on your internal GPS, you’ll find the courage to take risks and move forward with confidence.
Commit to Lifelong Learning and Follow Your North Star
Running a successful business requires commitment—not just to your business, but to your own personal and professional growth. I encourage my clients to embrace a mindset of lifelong learning. This means staying curious, being open to new ideas, and consistently evolving.
I coach entrepreneurs to seek opportunities for growth and improvement. Whether it’s through continuous learning, networking, or investing in personal development, the key is to stay committed to your journey. Your North Star will guide you, but it’s up to you to navigate the path.
