IN THE 21ST CENTURY...STRESS LESS... REMEMBER TO BREATHE!

     You've decided to run your own show, and start your own business.  Congratulations!  What's the next step?
                                                                      
Lots of people will tell you to plan, network, organize.......and on and on and on..


    
      But wait!!  These actions are all important.  However, unless there is some greater purpose behind the whole deal.....what is the point?  The business might flourish, and sail ahead , but unless you have a course to aim for, your whole venture will gradually veer off course or become boring, or you may feel less then successful inside.  This may take the form of highs and lows rather than steady; or unconscious sabotage (misreading the market etc...); or stress, known today as the silent killer.  
     THE MOST SUCCESSFUL JOURNEY , AND ONE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN AND GROW IS ONE THAT IS BUILT ON A CLEAR AND FIRM HOLISTIC  FOUNDATION.

I'm about to share with you  one of the best tools for laying a holistic foundation in business....(You might want to grab some paper and a pen to write down your immediate thoughts).

TOOL#             FINDING YOUR NORTH STAR

Under all the administrative and organizational tasks of getting your business on track and 'out there'....have you looked into your heart to find what is driving you?
Having a North Star helps you focus....most importantly it allows you to TAKE BACK YOUR POWER.  

ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS:


  • What do I truly want in my life?.....
  • What do I choose to guide me through each day and night?  
  • What gives me purpose and helps me feel fulfilled even on a tough day?
Examples of North Stars are something  like - 
  • Being free to be me
  • Help others to shine
  • To discover my richness
  • To help those in need.........and so on.
They are different from business goals or objectives.  This is a HOLISTIC appraisal of your inner need.

Here is an exercise for you to complete this week......FIND YOUR NORTH STAR!  Write it down...put it on your computer/ a vision board/ pin it.....LOOK AT IT OFTEN!

My North Star is to help others activate their own holistic lifestyle.... and love sharing tips like the above with you.  Connect with us and see our 21st business online at:
