How to Start Making Real Change in Your Business (and Actually Stick With It)

If you’ve ever looked at your business and thought, “Something has to change”—you’re not alone.

Maybe it’s your pricing.
Maybe it’s your cash flow.
Maybe you’re just tired of feeling like you’re running in circles without gaining real traction.

The truth is, most business owners don’t avoid change because they’re lazy. They avoid it because they’re overwhelmed—or they’ve tried before and slipped back into old habits.

Here’s the good news: real change is possible—and it doesn’t have to be a struggle.

Let’s break it down.


Step 1: Change Starts With Small, Intentional Habits

Most people think change requires a dramatic overhaul. But if you've ever tried to make a giant leap, you probably know how quickly momentum fizzles out.

The key is to start with small, repeatable actions that shift your momentum. These habits become the heartbeat of your business.

Think:

  • A 10-minute money check-in each week

  • A monthly “fund the future” review to look at what your cash flow supports long-term

  • Making decisions based on numbers, not nerves

One small action, done consistently, is more powerful than one big sprint that leads to burnout.


Step 2: Strengthen the Habit Muscle

Consistency is what turns effort into results.

Habits are like muscles—if you don’t use them regularly, they weaken. That’s why so many well-intentioned changes fall flat. It’s not a motivation issue—it’s a structure issue.

Here’s how to strengthen your habits:

  • Set a recurring time in your calendar for key business routines

  • Keep it simple—overcomplicating is the fastest way to stall out

  • Track progress weekly (even if it’s imperfect)

Remember: perfect doesn’t create results—consistent does.


Step 3: Avoid the “Backslide”

The backslide is real.

You start with energy. You’re making changes. Then—something breaks your rhythm. A busy week. A client fire. Life.

Suddenly, those new habits are out the window.

Here’s how to avoid that slide back into old patterns:

  • Don’t rely on motivation. Build systems that remind you to act.

  • Don’t isolate. Bring in support to keep you aligned.

  • Don’t aim for flawless. Aim for progress.


Why a CASH Coach Can Accelerate Your Success

Knowing what to do isn’t enough. If it were, Google would’ve fixed your business already.

That’s where a coach comes in.

As an experienced CASH Coach, I work with overwhelmed business owners who are stuck in the “I know what to do, but I’m not doing it” loop.

Here’s what changes when you work with a coach:

  • You stop guessing and start acting—with clarity

  • You make faster, more confident decisions

  • You stay consistent, because you’ve got accountability and support baked in

The๐Ÿ’ฅCASH Method—Coach. Action. Support. Habits.—is built to help you take control of your business with systems that stick and habits that lead to long-term success.
