Can you CLEARLY share what you do and who you do it for?

If you aren’t clear your clients and potential clients won’t be either. This is an important step in the business clarity journey. Both for you and the people you want to serve.

The Power of Journaling for Business Clarity

As an off-and-on journaler for years, I’ve realized what an important tool it can be in the growth both as a person, an entrepreneur, and creative thinker.

The business clarity journey takes reflection, asking questions, and thoughtfully answering them. Journaling might be a critical missing piece in your business clarity journey. How? Well, let’s just say it’s not a “dear diary” type of journaling. In fact the first type of journaling I recommend you start with might surprise you.

Taking Action Brings Clarity

Years ago, I felt stuck going through my old journals filled with repeated business ideas. Realizing I hadn't taken action, I was discouraged and stressed.

It wasn't until I started my mastermind and looked back at older documents that I truly felt the weight of inaction. I had to decide to stop second-guessing and take the next step, to take action.

That's what this episode is about, the importance of taking action to find the clarity and confidence you need to design a business that fits you well.
