Oh no...the New Year begins with two tasks a lot of us dread: planning and taxes. I can't do much about taxes, but this episode is all about making planning more realistic and more fun.
Most people make plans and schedules with their left brains. So you get cold, analytical plans...or even worse, daydreams about the future.
That's fine if you're a big business...if you sell cola, beer, or sportswear. But if you're a solopreneur, especially if you provide a service, you have a double role. You plan and you deliver.
Let's face it: there's no Planning Department for solopreneurs. So your planning has to be based on your motivations and your personality.
You checked all the boxes. You filled out all the squares. You have good intentions. And...nothing happens!
That's because you engaged your left brain and not your right. It's like driving in just one gear. You might be able to get there...but you probably won't. And you'll be damaged along the way.
This episode is an experiment.
I presented the material in a short workshop format, so it's more educational than some episodes. I hope you'll comment and tell me how you liked it!
Some topics you'll learn about...
Why storytelling helps you plan by engaging both sides of your brain
3 types of stories for planning
How each story brings you different benefits and requires different aspects of what you offer
How to reward yourself in a meaningful way that might seem frivolous
You can also order a workbook to help you plan with stories. Go to this link and learn more.
Of course, I'd also love to work with you on planning for your own business. Let's get together for a 90-minute session to discover what stories to tell. We'll identify your archetype and your brand and answer any questions you may have. Click here to learn more.
