Business Growth Strategies: Stop Giving Away Control
- 3 Minute Read
Business growth strategies and goal setting for entrepreneurs aren’t just about writing things down—they’re about reclaiming your power. In this episode, we explore how the subtle pattern of living “at effect” (reacting to everything around you) can quietly sabotage your momentum. If you’re ready to step into the driver’s seat and start leading from a place of intention, this one’s for you.
“When you're at cause, you're creating your experience. When you're at effect, you're reacting to it.”
What Does "At Cause" Really Mean?
The reality is, most business owners don’t realise they’re operating from a reactive place—waiting for clients to show up, income to rise, or energy to return. But here’s what I’ve learned: what if those delays aren’t external at all?
Here’s the thing: being “at cause” is a fundamental business mindset shift that means claiming ownership over your role in your results. Rather than feeling like a victim of circumstances, it’s about recognising the choices, beliefs, and actions within your control and using them to steer your business forward.
Simply put, when you’re at cause, you’re in the driver’s seat. Instead of outsourcing your success to your calendar, your clients, or the algorithm, you take the wheel.
3 Ways to Shift from Effect to Cause
If you’re ready to shift out of reaction mode and into intentional growth, here are three powerful ways to begin:
- Ask Better Questions Instead of spiralling into “Why is this happening to me?” try asking: “What’s the opportunity here?” or “What can I shift?” The quality of your questions shapes the quality of your leadership.
- Watch for the “Shoulds” If your to-do list is full of ‘shoulds’, chances are you’re acting from someone else’s script. Clear those out and listen for what’s truly aligned.
- Trust Your Body Your nervous system has more wisdom than your brain sometimes. If something feels tight, tense, or heavy—pause. There might be an easier, more aligned path.
