Mantra
“You can’t be anything you want to be,
but you can be a whole lot more of who you already are.”
Tom Rath
We’re stuck in this together. So, we might as well figure out how we’re going to show up.
Challenging times put pressure on us to become more of who we already are.
So, let’s start by asking, “how are we going to show up?” What do other people need from us right now?
Whether you’re a solopreneur, a small business owner or working your way up the chain, what we need is the right frame of mind.
Because it’s getting crazy out there.
I’d like to propose a mantra...
Take it. Make it yours.
I will proceed with thought and care for my community
I will take only what I need
I will not be an unethical opportunist
I will show up for my family, friends and frontline workers
I will be flexible, always putting people first
I will take time to process and reflect
I will not be fearful, reactive or naive
I will not allow chaos to rule over me
I will maintain optimum physical and mental fitness
I will find alternative business models
I will find ways to create more value
I will reach out to 3 people and ask them what they need
I will focus on my mission and vision
I won’t just survive; I will thrive
