Part One of this post included Step 1 and Step 2 of “Grow You” If you missed it, here is the link to Grow You I suggest that you take some time with Steps 1 and 2 before working on Steps 3 and 4, which are presented in this post.
My Four-Step Technique is quite simple. And, it is based on an even simpler idea.
Be, Do, Have
You must BE the person you want to become. Then, DO what You Love to Do. Then, you will HAVE what you Desire. And, You will Grow in the process.
Step 1 Review
Be clear about Who You Are. What do you have to offer the world that is unique…some skill or understanding that most others do not have? What are you really GOOD at doing? And, what do you LOVE to do? This is the first part of BEing who you really are (your Higher Self).
Step 2 Review
Be clear about What Motivates You. What MATTERS the most to you right NOW? This is the second part of BEing who you really are.
Make lists of What you can offer and Why that is so important for you now. Write some CLEAR GOALS from those lists. Follow your heart. Be Limitless! Be Outrageous! VISUALIZE your goals as if they are already happening right now. Feel the feeling. Feel the Joy!
Step 3
Part of Step 1 is Being clear about What You Love to DO. This is the DO part of the model. To DO anything really well, you must DO it with PASSION. So, in Step 2, you wrote down some goals and some motivations. Now you are looking for the PASSION that drives you.
What did you LOVE to do when you were a young child? What is it that you LOVE to do now when you have spare time? What do you LOVE to do when you are alone? If you have very little alone time, ask yourself why you don’t make some time for yourself. Even the busiest working mothers find time to meditate or exercise, or whatever it is that maintains their balance and sanity. Or, what would you LOVE to do WHEN you do create some time for yourself?
Add those thoughts to you goals. Where does your PASSION fit into your list? Find a quiet spot (even if it’s in your car). Point to each item on your list. Feel how your body reacts to each one. Your body will give you some clues, if you listen to it. Put numbers or stars next to your highest priorities.
Next, with that prioritized list, think of someone who is successful and who shares your passion. Could that person be a mentor for you? Or, perhaps you can research his or her path to success and imitate those steps. With the Internet as a tool, we have almost unlimited access to information. Google your Key Passion. See who shows up. This is really FUN! Play with it!
Perhaps a Mentor does not work for you. Create a Mastermind Group of similar-minded people with whom you can share your BEST and WORST ideas. Feedback is always good. It can Grow You quickly. And, it can Grow Your Business more quickly. Look for people on Twitter or Facebook who have similar interests. Go to their websites or blogs and read what they have to say. Send an email or send a Tweet on Twitter that says something like “forming a Mastermind Group…email me if interested.” Open the doors of Possibility.
Step 4
With your WHAT, WHY and PASSIONS in hand, create a Business Plan for the way in which YOU (Your Higher Self) can serve the world. When you follow your PASSIONS and SERVE OTHERS, increased income, profits and freedom chase you. Abundance just shows up in all areas of your life.
There are as many Business Plans as colors in the rainbow. So, I will not go into detail on that. When you zero in on your passions, you will find successful companies who have created plans. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. However, even if you are going to do something very abstract, create a plan. PUT YOUR INTENTIONS FOR YOUR BUSINESS IN WRITING. Intentions are Very Powerful.
Writing down your Intention causes an instant SHIFT in your AWARENESS and in the ENERGY around you. You attract what is essential for your success.
When you are BEing Your Higher Self and DOing What You Love, You will HAVE What You Desire.
