Pivot to a Strength

What is your strength?

As a business mentor and executive coach, this is often where we begin after we've established a vision.

You see, the idea of strength is misunderstood.

Often, we spend years trying to mask our weaknesses. Trying to grow in areas that, while we are ok in, we don't have to be all things to all people with.

And, as leaders and business owners, our time matters more than anything.

How we use our time determines our success. And if we are spending our time doing things that drain us, that draw us away from our strength and aren't generating income in our business, then it's time for a rethink.

Here are a few ideas:

1. Get clear about how you spend your time. I do a time diary and time blocking on a regular basis to see where my time is spent. Clients do too, and it's a powerful and surprising exercise.
2. Get clear about your strengths. Be operating in your area of strength 75% of your working time if you can. This helps you to enjoy what you do, get better results, and earn more money.
3. Shore up your weak areas with the right support, processes, or professionals that can help you do what needs to be done.

And connect with someone if you need help, support, and accountability. Was recently in an online discussion about zoom fatigue; and how sometimes the best mentoring and coaching takes place by messages and email, voice chat, or virtual quick check-ins. Don't go into November feeling like you've got no vision for 2023; let's do this together if you need it. Pop me an email or a DM to grow your leadership or your business using a strengths-based approach.
