I don’t know about you, but for me, this past week has been pretty transformative. Exiting a business requires a little bit of bravery and a lot of inner work. That’s what the business assessment is for.
If you’re at the point in which you started fantasizing about moving to a cabin in the woods, I get it. I was there too. After I realized I was just being dumb. I’ve strayed too far from what I originally wanted and was probably internalizing some shame or something similar.
This next question made me freeze.
The default business mindset is optimization, growth and the bottom line. However, some things aren’t supposed to be scalable.
If you feel your business is also in a transition phase, or you just want to conduct a simple professional life audit, I’ve put together a pdf file with journaling prompts – questions I had to answer in order to get a clearer view of what it is I want to achieve and what are some actionable steps.
Consider this a form of career spring cleaning. And remember what Michael Corleone said in the Godfather,
“It’s never just business. It’s always personal.”
