Many people go through their daily lives feeling overwhelmed. There are so many things to do, and there never seems to be enough time or energy to do them all.
Is this how you feel about your business, career, or life? Have you promised yourself that you will make some profound changes this month but you aren't sure what those changes need to be? Think about laying out a vision, but make it a big vision. One that encompasses your passion in life and the gifts you have come to share. No matter the focus of your business or career, you have a lot to offer. You are unique, and only you can contribute your strengths in your special way. Whether staying at home and raising a family, making the best widget there is, the CEO of a company, etc., life is not a dress rehearsal, so create your vision of what you want and then take inspired action steps to attract it to you.
These are the exact steps I take with my clients to help them make the changes in focus and habits that bring them meaningful results. First, you must be willing to take action.
Without changing your focus and habits, you will never be able to change the results.
Without taking action, you will never move forward and reach the results you want. Coaching is about getting results, listening to what the client wants and, working together, setting out the measurable steps to be taken that result in action and success.
You are responsible for the momentum; it will be up to you to take the actions on your own unless you choose to have the support, encouragement, guidance, and accountability that a coach provides.
It's just a good thought without the forward momentum and inspired actions. For your business to be successful, happy and fulfilled in your career, or prosperous and content in your life, you need to have one common thread. Vision. The process of creation starts with a thought, a great idea, a passionate want, or a dream of something magnificent to achieve. These are the intangible sparks that ignite our drive to move forward and turn the intangible into our reality.
Begin by brainstorming on paper, yes, you must write it down to bring clarity, to make it real. The first brainstorming session should be free owing don't edit your thoughts or ideas. If you are working on your vision and your work vision to dene what you want and how you want to spend your time, start with the personal vision. It helps if you write down thoughts, and words, or even doodle some pictures while allowing your mind to unwind.
This will give you absolute clarity about what is important to you, what you want, what things in your life you are genuinely passionate about, and what makes you feel fulfilled. From there, you can create the vision of your ideal business or career and take action to bring what you want into your life. Focus on what you want, and be very specific. Don't just say you want lots of money, a nice home, and no stress. Create a picture in your mind of precisely what you want, down to the color of the carpet and the list of clients, and then using words, draw that picture until your vision is clear.
For example:
I want a profitable and fulfilling holistic health practice.
I want to see clients in three different specialties plus passive income revenue streams.
I will work ve days a week between noon and six devoting the rest of the day to self-care, gardening, exercising, and spending time with family and friends.
I will make 100,000 a year and take five weeks of vacation.
I love to learn, so I will spend three weeks a year in educational workshops and training programs to advance my career and myself.
For me: making a contribution and improving people's lives is very important. This is always something I carry out in my business practices and my community involvement.
As a quick start, I have redesigned my home to be bright and airy and laid out the gardens for ease of care, and to provide color and fragrance from my owers and tastes and aromas from my organic vegetables. I avoid stress by focusing on the positive and focusing my energy on the things that are important to me, and just letting the rest go. These little actions can help you get closer to clarity and creativity.
You create what you put your energy on. If you concentrate on all the things you don't want, on all the things you don't have enough of, that is what you will create more of.
Start creating what you do want. Start with your vision; layout your life, career, and business vision, and then take steps to make it your reality.
One of the steps might include hiring a coach to make it happen faster for you.
