Do you reflect on how far you’ve come?
I’m approaching my first six month mark and I have definitely discovered what makes me most happy. If you’ve seen anything of my previous blogs you’ll know I recently held a webinar to encourage business owners to get started with Instagram - perhaps you may have joined me for it?
As I delivered a workshop for a retail group last week, their key requirements were to show their audience the products they had available, whether it was in a bakery, a gift shop to show what products their audience could buy through click and collect or deliveries, or even a tour round the barbers or restaurant to show what safety measures they have been putting in place in preparation for re-opening.
Are you a planner?
The key though, is appreciating those skills and accepting that being modest about them is actually depriving those people who need your skills of learning from you.
This has been brought home to me on many occasions since I started my business in September, so now is the time to embrace the variety of skills I’ve amassed over the years and put them to good use, which I believe will be more fulfilling to me too. The start (and end for that matter) of a year often encourages us to reflect on what we’ve achieved and where we’d like to get to. Have you used this break over Christmas to reflect on your business journey too? Does it mean a change of direction or a slight pivot?
