In Minnesota, spring is bursting forth like crazy.  Trees, shrubs, flowers:  All of them grow because it's natural for them to do so.  Unfortunately, our businesses don't grow unless we give them plenty of time, attention, and nourishment.  See how well the following nuggets can provide food for your business' growth.

May's Top Tips

2. Stop thinking small.  Most of us tend to live up - or down! - to our own expectations.  If you're going to create a self-fulfilling prophecy anyway, why not create one that's abundant and BIG?  Get your dreaming cap on, feel what it would be like to achieve those big dreams, and then turn them into achievable goals by developing a powerful action plan.

 

3.  For anyone who likes the principles of the Law of Attraction, consider making a Mind Movie to keep you focused on your goals for growing your business.  (You can also use this tool to achieve personal goals, as well).  Combining a Mind Movie with the rubber-meets-the-road help of your MasterMind group is really powerful.

How's This for Success?  

 1. One way to identify and celebrate what drives you toward your goals is to check out a severely cool tool called the Core Passion Assessment. This instrument clarifies your passions, as well as the strengths and challenges inherent in each of them.  (This can be a great way to identify challenges your Mastermind group can help you with, or key in on dreams to include in your Mind Movie.)  Personally, I've found it easier to compellingly promote myself because I'm very clear about the strengths associated with my own Core Passions - and how I apply those strengths to benefit my clients.

 

2. Our thoughts and actions can either grow our businesses or cause them to wither on the vine.  Louise Griffith, of One Shining Light, shows people how to focus their mental processes on growth and advancement, both personal and professional.  I've already found myself being more efficient and less stressed as a result of applying the findings from her 6 Advisors coaching tool.

 

3. Want a tool that's a little more hands on?  Cindy Daniels is all about helping her clients get out of their own way so they can grow, and one of her more intriguing and powerful tools is hand analysis (yes, also known as palm reading).  Even if you're skeptical - maybe especially if you're skeptical - you'll enjoy the inspiring insight you'll find right in the palms of your hands.

Perhaps it's good advice to "bloom where you're planted", but there's certainly nothing wrong with sending out some additional runners to see if you can find a place where you can bloom even more vibrantly.  I hope these Nuggets provide some rich food for growth for you and your business.
