Revitalized
When Fred and I spoke a couple nights ago, he asked for my business plan and my pitch deck. I sent him over what I’d come up with over two years ago. Those items had been sitting in the cloud since before the pandemic. I’d done the research, put in the work, and been as thorough as I possibly could. Additionally, I’d gotten very specific. I defined my market, my niche, and my ideal client. Then I got sidetracked.
The global pandemic derailed my best laid plans. Nothing had come to fruition, but that didn’t erase the work. It was there, waiting to be revisited and revitalized. Fred triggered my memory of those past efforts. Our dialogue brought forth something I’d forgotten. His questions brought me back to center and returned something I’d lost, clarity.
The past two years have been challenging. I’d spent so much energy simply surviving. I’m sure most people probably feel the same way. Maybe they feel that way their entire lives, but that’s not my concern. My concern is me, my purpose, and fulfilling His vision.
My clarity has returned. My plans, hopefully coincide with His plans, are being updated. My energy and time will be invested with intent and purpose.
Today, Thursday, March 10, 2022, I am grateful that:
I was willing to ask Fred to be my mentor. “It takes a village to raise change” is the old adage and when it comes to this phase of development, I’m a toddler.
I’m willing to invest my energy and effort in avenues with the highest and best returns possible. I’m eliminating unproductive and wasteful activities, once again. Those things tend to creep back into my routines and leech at my energy and time.
Veronica and I got a chance to go and get some ice cream last night. Even with us living together, some days it feels as if we don’t spend a lot of time together. Walking at night gives us a chance to talk, share a common experience, and have dessert after dinner.
Do you have plans you can revitalize?
Something maybe you thought was great but didn’t follow through?
Who do you know that could take a look and offer their perspective?
Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
