The Power of a Mission Statement

Do you have a mission statement for your business? It may seem like a silly exercise to create a mission statement for your business, but it can be one of the most powerful things you can do for your business because a mission statement can define what your company will do DAILY to make your business vision a REALITY. The mission statement is the “How” you get to your vision.

It can include why your company EXIST, what you DO, who you SERVE, and how you do it DIFFERENTLY. It completes the statement “I’m on a mission to…. (fill in the blank)”.  For example, My company’s mission is to encourage, empower, and equip women of faith in business with training, tools, and resources so they can thrive in life and in business.

Having a mission statement impacts the results of your business. I shared all about how it impacts your business in the post how having a mission statement impacts your business.

The Power of Monthly Reflection

In my last post I shared my morning routine and shared how how you start your day can impact the results in your life and in your business.

If you missed that post be sure to check it out here. Today I’m sharing about the power of monthly reflection. Taking the time to reflect not only benefits you as you move forward in life and in business, but it’s also a spiritual principle.

So many times in scripture God instructions His people to remember, and not just to remember but to reflect.  

One popular example of this type of instruction that stands out for me is in Exodus 20:8-11:

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

In this scripture, God commands us to remember and then goes on to explain why we need to not only remember, but also reflect on the meaning of the Sabbath.

One of the things I love about the start of a new month is that it offers you the opportunity to reflect on God’s goodness.  In fact, in my Passion Planner (one of the resources that I mentioned in the last blog post) they have a monthly reflection section, in this section you have to complete the following questions:

1. What was the most memorable part of this past month? Describe it.

2. What were the three biggest lessons you've learned in this past month?

3. Review your monthly activity. Are you happy with how you spent your time? If not, what steps can you take next month to adjust them?

4. What did you accomplish this past month? What are you most proud of?

5. How are you different between this past month and the month before it?

6. What or who are you especially grateful for this past month?

7. Name three things you can improve on this upcoming month?

8. From 1-10, how do you feel overall about this past month?

I enjoy doing this exercise on a monthly bases and I find that it helps me to stay focused, motivated and encouraged. What are your thoughts on monthly reflection? Do you practice monthly reflection? If so, do you have a structed reflection that consist of answering questions like the Passion Planner or does it consist of something else?

How you start your day matters

Does how you start your day matter?  I would say ABSOLUTELY!  How you start your day impacts the rest of the day and can even impact the week, the month, and the year. 

When you start your day right it helps you to be more productive.  I’ve found that doing these 3 key things every morning has allowed me to experience supernatural productivity in my business.

Watch the video below or read the post to discover the 3 ways I start my day right and how this has led to supernatural productivity in my business. 

Do you select a word for the year?  One of the key ways you can stay focused this year is to select a word to focus on for the year.  This year I was led to the word ELEVATE.  My goal this year is to elevate!  How about you?  What’s your word?  I would love to know so be sure to post in the comments below.

Do you select a guiding/anchor scripture for the year? My guiding scripture for 2023 is Joshua 1:9 

Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

This is a command, a declaration from God not just to Joshua, but to me, to you, to all of us as Believers to Be strong and courageous and to not be afraid or discouraged this year!

In addition to the word and scripture for the year I have a morning routine that helps me to stay focused and to start my day right.  This includes 3 key things I do every morning to start my day right, which has created supernatural productivity in my business:

1. Devotion, Meditation, and Prayer

For almost 20 years I’ve had the practice of reading a devotional in the morning to hear a message from God.  This year I’m reading the devotional “Quiet Times with God” by Joyce Meyers.  In the devotional I read the daily scripture, message, thought of the day, and additional scripture versus to go deeper on the topic.  

My goal is not just to read the devotion but to meditate on the message and how it applies to my life and business.  After reading my devotion and meditating on the messages, I have prayer.  To pray for the day, to show my gratitude and to ask for God’s guidance and protection. 

2. Journaling

Journaling is a fairly new practice for me.  It was recommended by my business coach a couple of years ago and ever since then, I’ve added it to my daily routine.  I have two sets of journals.  Believe Bigger by Marshawn Evans Daniels it’s a Devotional Journal.  It is helping me to work on my unbelief and teaching me to believe bigger.  It’s a 100 Day Devotional Journal that includes scripture, a message, a prompting question to journal on and then a prayer.  This has really helped to me focus on Believing Bigger in 2023.

3. Planning

The third and final step is planning. I use three resources for my planning.  For the past 5 years or so I have been using the Passion Planner to help me plan out my dreams, goals, and vision.  The passion planner has a mind map, that helps you to map our your goals for the year.  Then the month and then weekly/daily activities.  

Lastly and probably the most important part of my morning routine is the business meetings with God.  During those meeting I sit with God to plan out my business activities.  I use the Faith Strategy Business Planner to help plan out my business day and my B.E.S.T. Marketing Planner to plan out my marketing activity for the day.  

All of this is done with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. All of these things may seem like a lot, but it takes about 30-45 minutes in the morning and helps me to be clear, focused and aligned for the day and doing these things have led to supernatural productivity in my business. I’ve been able to accomplish so much more in my business by having this practice so far in 2023.

Do you have a morning practice?  Do you feel it’s important to start your day with a routine or ritual that helps you to be more productive?  Be sure to share your thoughts in the comments.

3 ways like-minded people positively impact your business!

Being a business owner is NOT easy, sometimes the hardest thing can be getting the support you feel you need in order to succeed in business.

In this week’s blog post I focus on how a supportive group of like-minded people can positively impact your business!  Watch the video or read the post below to learn more.

There are several types of business groups that you can join that positively impacts your business.  These include groups like your local chamber of commerce, referral groups like Business Networking International (BNI), and online groups like Facebook Groups and LinkedIn Groups. But for this post I am focusing on ONE type of group that can make a major difference for your business and will help you move forward in business, and that group is an intimate mastermind group with approximately 3-8 members.

A mastermind is a group of people coming together to collectively brainstorm and support each other.  Here are three key things that you get from being involved in an intimate mastermind group:

  1. Support–   Being involved in a mastermind group gives you various support including emotional support, spiritual support, resources, recommendations, etc. It’s a group of people who will be there for you through the ups and downs of your business.
  2. Community–  An intimate group of like-minded, focused, and ambitious people can really help you with your business.  As an entrepreneur or business owner, you’ve taken a different path than most, so getting the support from others who understand your journey and know what you are going through is important.  It helps you to feel less isolated and by yourself and more involved in a group.
  3. Accountability–  A mastermind group helps to hold you accountable to your business goals and action steps.  Accountability is key to moving your business forward especially when you are held accountable to a group, you are more likely to stay on track to meet your goals.
