Business in a Bubble


I  know you are thinking this post is about a soap bubble but it's not at all.  The bubble I am talking about is the imaginary one.  Think of yourself standing inside a giant bubble, arms and legs spread, dividing that bubble in half touching the inside.  Most people in this bubble see everything that is in the front half of that bubble.  Imagine that these are resources that sustain your business.  The front half are the obvious things that most people use like marketing, finance, and advertising.  These are these are foundations  for a successful business with great importance.

What is in the back half of your bubble?  This is were we seperate the business person from the visionary.

Vision Boards

There are many ways to set goals personally and professionally. I recently started creating vision boards as a daily reminder of what I need to achieve. These can be filled with images or just written words. Since I am a very visual person I prefer the written word because imagery is spontaneous for me.

Last month was an intense time for me professionally because I was in negotiations. Here is want my vision board said;

I will achieve power and success using my creativity in the business world. I will inspire kindness, generosity, and peace with my power. I will dominate every market I enter bringing joy and happiness using my talents. My finances will be abundant and secure the future for myself and my family. I will become an icon for women business owners and mothers everywhere. Opening hearts and minds to the power of light and God.

I like this so much I'm going to use it in the foreword of my book. It feels like a life mission statement. I'll aim high and see what happens...
