Image – who are you in your business?
Your image is how you see yourself and how others see you, in this case, in your business. It functions much as the banks of the river defining the flow of energy you put into your relationship.
To discover and work with your image start with a free flow of information.
Get a notepad, set aside half an hour and begin writing, every idea that comes into your mind relating to the heading “Me in my business” – don’t stop until are done. Allow it all to flood onto the page. Keeping it defined by the heading.
Take a break, go for a walk for a while then return and read the writing as if you were a third person. What is “this person” saying? Then condense the free flow to a paragraph. A summary – of the essence – of the information. It should represent what “this person” is in their business.
Take another break, then condense this paragraph into a sentence.Ensure the sentence is an accurate representation of the essence of the free flow of information. Take another break, go for a walk or have a cup of tea/coffee. Then return and condense the sentence into a single word.
Are you happy with this word, your image?? Do you want this to be the boundary of who you are in your business?
If not, change it…
