Align Your Business with Your True Purpose 🌿


Feeling stuck in the grind, dreaming of a business that truly reflects who you are?

We can easily get lost in the to-do's and tasks in our businesses, but are the activities we're doing a reflection of the most meaningful things we want our work to represent?

Rarely do we take time to get clear on the true purpose behind our business.

Because here’s the thing: your business isn’t just a business. It’s a testament to your life’s work.

We have to get back to what matters most: Creating a business that’s an authentic reflection of you and aligns with your deepest desires and values.

Your business is more than transactions and metrics; it’s your heart’s work in action.

Let's get real about aligning your business with your deepest values. Here’s how:

1. Why'd You Start? 🤔 - Every business begins with a spark of passion. What compelled you to start this journey? Understanding your foundational ‘why’ paves the way for aligning your business with your life’s purpose.

2. Joy is Key 💗 - If it doesn't spark joy, why are you doing it? Prioritize what lights you up. Joy in work comes from more than just enjoyable tasks; it’s about feeling that your work contributes to something larger than yourself.

3. Plan With Purpose 💭 - What impact will your business have on the world? How does your work reflect your values? Make each action a step towards that dream. Your business should be a vehicle for your life’s mission, not just a way to pay bills.

4. Curate Your Offerings 🎁 - Evaluate your services or products through the lens of your purpose. Each product, each service – it's got to feel right. If it doesn’t resonate, it's time to revamp or retire it.

5. Cultivate a Community ✨ - Surround yourself with folks who get you. The people around you - your clients, your collaborators, your supporters - should mirror your values and share your vision. They're not just your audience; they're your tribe.

6. Schedule Reflective Practices 🗓️ - Make time for you. Whether it’s thinking time, meditation, or strategic planning sessions, these practices can ensure your business remains aligned with your evolving purpose (because as YOU grow, your business grows with you).

Lately, I’ve found myself reflecting on what wealth really means. For a long time, I believed it was tied to financial success. Having more, earning more, achieving more. But these days, my definition of wealth has expanded in ways I never anticipated. Yes, financial stability matters. But I’ve come to realize that true wealth is so much more than money in the bank. It’s about having time. Time to pause, breathe, and experience joy, like those daily walks with Scruffy or the quiet mornings...

Feel like you’re pretty much good at everything, but still can’t figure out what your thing is?

With all those options, how do you choose the one that really fits? It can be...

One of the hardest parts of leaving the corporate world is figuring out how to repurpose your skills into a business that actually works. That’s exactly where my client Messina was not too long ago. After years in corporate life, she had all these skills and experiences but was stuck trying to figure out how to use them in a way that aligned with her purpose. The possibilities were overwhelming, and she wasn’t sure if her business idea was even worth pursuing. So, she booked a Sweet Spot...
