Full Steam Ahead!
"Being fully powered. Knowing where you're going and moving ahead full force. Being so clear about your purpose, so committed to it, and so sure in your ability to accomplish it that you move ahead decisively despite any obstacles."
What an awesome day we had! Thank you to all who attended today to help us celebrate our Ribbon Cutting with the Chamber of Commerce!
We also celebrated the ribbon cutting for Sara Reed, one of our own, for her business "Accent Travel". Congratulations Sara!
We had TWELVE new attendees today! Thanks to all of you for spreading the word and bringing them in! We enjoyed meeting the new people, and getting a chance to "regroup" after a long summer.
I talked today about propelling our businesses into 2009. We are about to enter the last quarter of 2008, and it's time to start planning and setting goals for the new year. Goal setting comes from Vision, and our Vision comes from finding our Purpose. Your Purpose is the key! Whatever you are selling or whatever your service is, there is a definite purpose. You have to look beyond the obvious and find it.
Ask yourself, "What Business Am I In?". Then ask again! "What business am I REALLY in?"
For Example: If you sell insurance, are you "selling paper insurance certificates? " or are you "selling Peace of Mind" ?
If you can get into the minds of your customers and clients and find out what they really need you will know the best way to help them. Suddenly you realize that it's not about YOU, it's about THEM! This realization will lead you to your True Purpose, which will lead you to your Vision!
I would love some comments from you about this. Tell me what your purpose is and how you plan to implement this idea into your 2009 Vision for your business!
I enjoyed seeing all of you again and missed all of you who could not join us today. Thanks again to all who attended, and mark your calenders to join us again next month on the 16th!
Sincerely & from my heart,
Kimberly Wilson
