Feeling Stuck? My 4 Proven Steps to Get Unstuck in Your Business and Career Fast!
Often times people reach out to me saying “I am really stuck, overwhelmed and I want to know: how do you get unstuck in your business?
And so, today I want to help you out if you are in that funk, I want you to understand that its not Hard. That it depends on a part of you that you have 100% Control over. I am speaking from my soul to yours.
I have come to understand and believe that we get stuck in our lives, career and business due to 4 things. And today I am going to share those 4 things and HOW to change that!
Let’s get you unstuck! This may be the very thing you need to create the momentum you need to get your breakthrough in your home business or life in general!
By the way, it’s not about hard work, although many may lead you to believe that! Don’t get me wrong, there are real benefits in hard work. Yet I know some real hard grafters, they wake up at the crack of dawn and go to their garden and work till sunset. With barely a break, back breaking work…And still stay the same. So, it’s definitely not all about hard work, although it does contribute 10%. I can tell you its definitely everything to do with unblocking the sale really!

Now, how does one get unstuck in your business if it’s not to hustle harder?
Let’s dive into the details so that you can get out of the funk you are in or avoid it altogether!
The 4 Main Reasons People Stay Stuck in business:
I need you to understand that; people stay stuck and even end up quitting on all kinds of things. You could be stuck in your school/training. Or maybe you are stuck in your job, i.e. no promotion, no pay increase. Mayhap you are stuck in your business and haven’t met your sales quarter or targets. That rank has eluded you yet again…And its almost the half way mark of the year!
You feel so frustrated you are about to quit on your dreams.
If this is you, you need to tune in to the article I wrote about feeling accomplished. I wrote it at a low moment in my life, or what I thought was a low moment. It turned out to actually have been a blessing in disguise. A moment when I was looking at everything I hadn’t achieved and why, instead of focusing on all the great things I actually had got done and moved closer to our Vision and dreams! Talk about beating oneself up with a leather whip…!
I hope the ideas I share will help and teach you how to get unstuck in your business, career or whatever you are stuck in!
If you know us, you will know…
For example, when we started building our home based business 4+ years ago, I had walked out of a managerial job and sat at home for 2 years. Threw a major pity party in that time. I was struggling with my weight, and don’t even go to my mindset. I struggled with my self-worth at that time. My children got the brunt of all this and my husband was a saint to be honest! Our story may inspire you go check it out in the interview we had with Erik Christian.
Yet in all this, quitting wasn’t an option, this gig had to work. Today, I see so many people with big dreams get stuck in their business and even quit on those dreams months even weeks into starting a gig. I wanted to dig deeper into why.
I believe there are 4 main stuck-ville roads shared below:

Having learnt the Why and What, Here is HOW…Yes I am giving away the shop today.
Here is How to Get Unstuck in Your Business
#1. Find and Hire a coach or mentor. This is critical to your business growth and success. Yes, it Will Cost you. But that will be cash 100% well spent.
#2. Evaluate your business. Do a Self-audit and be really truthful to YOU. That’s how you will uncover WHY you are stuck. And guess what, the answer will manifest as to how to get unstuck in your business. Its #thelaw ?
Way back in 2014 when, I was on the brink of giving up, I decided that I would give myself one more chance and invest in Coaching from Ray Higdon. At that time, I learnt what I am sharing with you today. These nuggets are valued at over $10,000 and I am literally giving them away free…
[bctt tweet=”Do a Self-audit and be really truthful to YOU. #Successtips #YourPowerEchoes ” username=”Juleskalpauli”]
Below are the 4 Questions to Focus your Self-Audit:
- What is working in my business right now?
Go through your resources, tools, strategies, your daily activities, behaviours with a fine-tooth comb. Determine whether you can do more of what’s working now, increase the time you spend doing it…Put more of your resources there if need be. Like Ads, social media promos etc. Get to it!
- What is missing in my business?
This you probably know and are holding back, usually finances are involved. If you have money sat on your account and you are struggling, you need to ask yourself, what is tha money doing for me or my loved ones sat in the bank? Is it building up major interest? If its not, invest it in Your Coaching and COMMITT to soak up the knowledge. Apply the knowledge and Create the results you deserve. Including 10xing that cash you invested in you!
So, ask yourself: what are the missing pieces of the puzzle that are keeping me stuck in my business? What’s limiting your growth? What could you add to your business right now from a system to a coach to a blueprint? What are those missing links? Go Get them. Or Shut the shop and go find a job. No shame in it and you can save yourself the heart ache later.
- What is NOT working in my business?
Let me say this, the biggest block is in YOUR MIND. Work on YOU Daily. Feed your mind with the right cuisine. Then go look at what skill set, system, resource action is dragging you down. Go fix it or change it. Eliminate whatever is not working period. Stop the cash drainers. You will be the happier for it.
- And final Question: Where do I go from here?
Having done a thorough audit above, it’s time to determine the way forward! By this stage in the process, you should be in implementation, ACTION Mode baby! So, the questions to ask you is: What can I do going forward to change my business? What do I need to implement to fill the voids that I’ve unearthed?
Here are some examples: If you haven’t yet got it, NOW is the time to hire a coach. Find a blueprint and start Implementing.
Go sharpen the saw aka skill up and learn prospecting and closing! Or hire someone with the skill set to do that part of your business!
Did you know that the Antidote to every business ailment is FOCUSED ACTION? 🙂 And with this word to the wise…
I hope that these very simple, yet so essential nuggets will help you get unstuck in your business. That they help inspire at least one person to do the needful and breakthrough!
Did you like the video and Can you see yourself Loving you some, Letting go sometimes, I sure hope so! By the way, you are designed for success, for closing and happiness so don’t even consider quitting. Your dreams are on the other side of service!

Great post Julie, I think we can all feel “stuck” t times, no matter how long you’ve been in a business. Getting a mentor is a good idea, and also evaluating what’s working and what’s not. Thanks for sharing..
Definitely Keith, And thats why I put this training together.
a) to show that one is not alone in that place, others have been and know how to change things.
b) There is help out there and steps that can be taken to switch things on and up 🙂
Glad we agree 🙂

Julie Syl
Thanks for the ton of information in this post. I always refer to your blog when I have some questions or self doubt about the way I handle my business. I learned a thing or two today, and I will start with that self audit. Thanks!
Wow,
So glad to serve you and To be a beacon of light when you cant see the way forward. Keep shinning 🙂
Thanks for the feedback!
This information is incredibly useful to me. I’m 6 years into my own business, and I feel stuck every so often.
Hi Amber,
Glad you got value and congrats on 6 years staying focused despite the valleys and spedbumps. Kudos
This is very helpful. We have to analyze and evaluate our business and how we handle it from time to time especially if we feel a little stuck or unmotivated. It’s nice that you’re sharing these tips, a lot of business owners feel like they need a little more push to improve what they’re doing.
Glad you agree Elizabeth,
we appreciate your input and yes If a business owner doesnt do a self audit they will miss the tell tale signs of stagnation and what triggered it in the first place.
Hiring a mentor is definitely something I would do – I hired a mentor for the industry that I am in and I couldn’t be more thankful for her!!
Yaassss GiGi,
It shows too. You are rocking things and thats how it should be when you hire a Mentor!
Awesome business tips… l love it?
Hello Sathwika,
Glad you love, thanks for swinging by 🙂
Wow these steps are really helpful for business! Thank you for sharing this great article.
You are most welcome Chei 🙂
Excellent post! The right mindset is sooo important. You must believe in your business and be goal and future oriented. I’m sure that a good mentor and regular audits will help any business owner to maintain that mindset.
Yes Nora,
A good mentor will know when to give one a nudge in the right direction and thus help them get the results they desire. Self audits are essential coz sometimes the mentor isnt close enough to see the signs. You know what your business is doing though! 🙂
Great post. You offered great tips for how to get unstuck when finding yourself stuck. It just takes a little push to get you going again. The main thing is not give up. 🙂
Never ever give up on your dream Theresa. Nothing wrong with changing vehicles. Most network Marketers have a problem doing that. If its not working 4-5 years down the rod, its time for a change of instruments, resources, tools or even Vehicle. 🙂
So inspiring! It can be so frustrating and isolating when things are going badly, and you just don’t even know where to start. This is such a great way to take a look at your business and really evaluate where you are and where you want to go. Thank you!
Hello Kait,
Glad you got value and its only when we do this that things start to happen and when they do, we are like them that dreamt 🙂
Its beautiful. 🙂
I am a big fan of working smarter, not harder and it seems to me that your tips here are a good way to learn how to do that. I really like your self-audit suggestion, that seems like it would be a good thing for me to do for myself.
Hello Jessica,
It usually takes someone else saying something to you for the penny to drop and its important to really know when that happens, or yet again we miss the boat!
We definitely like working smarter…Usually in the beginning it looks like hard graft lol! 🙂
I thought something was lacking when it came to my own business. I was creating the right content but I felt like it deserved more views. I did a self-audit and found out what worked for me and it has helped massively. That being said I work super hard for it x
You are a rockstar Ana for accepting that something was not right and looking for the solution. Keep rocking!
I need this today. I find the questions on self-audit quite useful. Thanks Julie!
Hello Sharon,
Yes a Self Audit is essential to track out actions and results and be able to trim or raise the game on our strategy!
Glad you got value! 🙂
Julie,
This is a great article and I really got a lot of good business tips. I agree that hiring a coach if you can can cut the learning curve. Thanks for a great article and shared it
