7 Questions to Ask to Recommit to Your Vision
I had big plans for 2020: In person workshops, co-working and public speaking at events. Then the pandemic hit, and suddenly I was working from home like everyone else and scrambling to figure out what next.
Brick and mortar businesses are struggling to set up online shops while the rest of us are on Zoom calls and hearing this on daily basis: “You’re muted. It’s the button on the left. On the left.”
I have to remind myself that my vision for my business has not changed - even though how I deliver that vision has completely altered.
I still serve women entrepreneurs struggling with overwhelm and getting things done, and help them shift their mindsets and create practical, productive habits so they can find new clients and scale their business. My “why” is still the same. It’s “how” I deliver this service that is changing.
If you’re struggling to catch your breath and pivot to working from home, take a few moments and write down the answers to these questions. They will help remind you of your “why” and will guide you through this new way of doing business.
What problem are you committed to fixing in the world?
Who do you serve?
What problem to you solve for them?
What new problems are they struggling with?
How can you communicate to them that you’re still here?
How can you show leadership right now?
How can you make your clients feel safer right now?
Your vision of having a strong impact in the lives of your clients is still possible. Your “why” has likely stayed the same.
Now it’s time to get creative to figure out “how” you can pivot to offer your service. Don’t forget. You’re an entrepreneur. At heart, you’re creative, flexible, and able to make decisions on the fly.
You’ve got this. Recommit to your vision, and get to work on figuring out how. The world needs you more than ever to show up as best you can, and serve.
