What having a map has done for me on my journey?
- Mapping will make you decide where you would like to end your journey. I started with a six-month trip since I now know that people, ideas and situations can change like the wind. I also feel it would be a great way of not being too overwhelmed with all that has to be accomplished.
- I realized that having a team by your side is critical to staying on the road to success. I now have an amazing team that has helped my business to soar to places I never dreamed possible.
- With my new map I am finding that I have more time in my day since having a more specific plan makes me more focused and detail-driven.
- As mentioned I came across new points of interest and history which allowed me to add new services to my business and avoid some bad habits that have been with me for years. This will also free up time for you to do the things you enjoy and to have the down time needed after a hectic day.
- My expenses were cut back once I took a good look at what I was spending and how many events, programs and meetings I was attending that were of NO benefit to my business or my life.
- I also wanted to give back to those who are in need of my help and skills. Being able to help others has been more of a help to myself since it fuels my soul to see others smile or have hope when they feel there is none.
- I now sleep better knowing that I have my day and a plan in place and do not wake up stressed wondering what the day will bring and when I am going to find the time to fit everything in that is required.
- Above all I have become a LIST nut. I prepare a list the night before and I can guarantee if it is on the list it will be off it by the end of the day. WOW, what a feeling of accomplishment.
Not having a map may take you to undesirable places not to mention how much longer and how much wear and tear will it take if you don’t know where you are going. With my new map in place I will have the freedom to work a four-day week in the months of July and August knowing my business will still be on track. Get started and enjoy your journey.
