What Are 4 Things You Can Do Right Now To Change Your Trajectory For The Better During A Pandemic?
It feels like walking through fire right now in so many ways, but sometimes you need someone to take your hand and lift your eyes so you can see the blue sky again.
How do you lift your focus in 4 practical ways starting today?
1- guard yourself
Don't allow yourself to get swallowed by news, media, and reports on the virus. The more fixated you become on the problem, the harder it will be to see the solution as it pertains to YOU and your business. Get the facts (from a direct source) and the recent updates, and then turn it off and fuel your mind with sources that inject life and hope into the situation and expand your thinking in a big-picture perspective.
2- leadership
Build your leadership capacity during this time. Read books, studies, and take online workshops that will aid in giving you the tools to bring life into your business and excitement into new ways of operation and culture/team building.
3- control
Work on the things you CAN control. Have you been putting off the website re-design or the branding update? Now is a great time to work on refreshing your business and lifting your visual imaging. What other tasks might you not have had time to complete? Maybe it's time to get your books in order so you have current numbers to work with, or maybe you have clients that you could check in with to lend emotional support to, or a local organization your business could partner with for remote volunteer services during this time. It's a great time to dig in deeper with the community around you!
4- support
Do your research on what supports are available to you - whether financially or community-wise. There are many outlets for support in each city to support your well being and mental health and sometimes just taking that step in vulnerability makes all the difference in knowing someone is there to catch you on the other end. Virtual co-working chats (Co-Videos) are held regularly by The Light House Cowork that are life-giving and encouraging no matter where you find yourself in business. Connect with other business owners across Canada in this free meet-up!
