Discover Your Brilliance!

“We are what and where we are because we have first imagined it.”

~Donald Curtis

Design a business that showcases your strengths — your brilliance, and that provides great value to your market!! Sometimes you may find that the biggest problem with designing your life around what you do best (your brilliance) is discovering what it is!  We often work hard to improve our weaknesses…and ignore our strengths.  It’s easy not to our own brilliance because we’re naturally good at it and take it for granted. Tap into your brilliance and build your brand around it!

Ask yourself…

  • What do I do easily and naturally?
  • What activities energize me?
  • What have other people said I’m really good at?
  • What consumes me…what lights my fire?

Discover and acknowledge your brilliance – and build a dynamic, successful business that showcases you and what you have to offer others.


Creating Your Vision

“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.” ~ Carl Jung

10 QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN CREATING YOUR VISION

Your vision is the mental picture of where you want to go in life—professionally, personally and spiritually.  Vision is…

  • the picture of how your ideal life and/or business will look
  • the sustaining force that inspires and motivates you
  • the vacuum that pulls you forward
  • the force and power of your imagination

To live without your own vision is to live someone else’s vision!

These 10 empowering questions will assist you in clarifying what you are creating, and what you intend to create.  They work whether you are defining your personal, professional, or business vision.

1.    What do you care about most?

2.    What are you working on that makes a difference?

3.    What gifts do you have that you’re currently using?  What gifts do you have that you’re not using, but would like to?

4.    What will creating your vision do/mean to you?

5.    Where would you like to be in three years?  Five years?  Ten years?

6.    What would you do if you were ten times bolder?

7.    What do you want more of?  Less of?

8.    If you only had one year to live, how would you want to live it?

9.    What ‘theme’ consistently runs through your life like a thread of gold?

10.    What do you want to leave for others after you are gone?

Lay the foundation for starting and building a successful business by starting with your vision.  See it!  Touch it!  Taste it!  Feel it! Create the plan and take action to make it happen!  Michael Gerber, author of The E-Myth, says…”You have to see the pattern, understand the order, and experience the vision!”
