Focused Action Taking

In my previous blog post, I reflected on the past year: what I accomplished and what I would have done differently. During 2023 I am being intentional to do things differently. My word for 2023 is "Focus": to be clear on my Purpose and taking action in alignment with my Purpose.

My Purpose is levelling the playing field for female entrepreneurs. I am passionate about gender equity. What this means is that I help female entrepreneurs to improve their 'game plans' by being clearer on their offer and who they serve.*

A goal is only as good as the steps you take consistently towards meeting it. Here are a few to which I am committing this year:

Step #1

I would like to maintain a consistent presence online. This blog is one of the ways I intend to consistently show up online.

Step #2

Building and maintaining networks. Last year I sought out new networks and reconnected with groups in which I was previously active. I will be intentional and focused to keep connected to the new contacts I have made, as well as ensuring that I do not lose touch with other contacts that I made previously.

Step #3

Staying accountable to my actions. I have friends with whom I can check in. I can get my ideas sound-boarded and my friends keep me accountable for actions that I say will take in my business - ensuring that I can stay focused. In my previous blog post I spoke the importance of accountability.

Step #4

Building my audience. I am planning to run monthly virtual events with my audience. Stay tuned for next webinar.
