Discover Your ‘Why’ Before Knowing Your How.
Knowing your WHY = Moving your business FORWARD
When you know your why with absolute CLARITY, you’ll get to where you want to go faster.
Like the sound of that, huh?
For your business goals to come true (no 3 wishes here), you need to understand that knowing your why is the foundation of moving your business needle forward and achieving your big dreams.
LET’S BREAK IT DOWN AND EXPLAIN
Let me answer that thought bubble I see: “Why is knowing your why SOOO important?”
If you aren’t SUPER clear on your why and where you’re going, you won’t be able to achieve your BIG goals. You’ll get to a point of just hoping you will. In turn, you’ll be going in circles figuring out how to help your business through its growing pains.
We aren’t all Facebook (*tear*)… meaning it takes at least 2 to 3 years for a business to be profitable and truly become successful once they’ve hit the 7 to 10-year mark, according to Freshbooks. So why not try to speed up that process?
When you figure out your WHY, your vision aligns with it and allows you to make the correct choices for your business. Who you’re hiring, your target market… making sense?
Get detailed with your why, because frankly, no one else needs to see it.
LET’S PINPOINT YOUR ‘WHY’
Take time to answer these questions and really dig deep into your answers!
Work-life: 
- What are your innate strengths? Weaknesses?
- What environment do you thrive in?
- What tasks make you the happiest and most fulfilled?
- What stresses you out the most?
- Where do you add the greatest value at work?
When it’s time to relaxxxx:
- What do you do to relax?
- What are your interests and hobbies?
- What do you WANT to do all the time?
- Does your life feel balanced?
Talk business:
- What problems do you expect to solve in the next few years?
- Paint a mental picture of the life and business you want.
- If your company were to meet all of its goals, what would it look like in 5-10 years?
- Does your company embody your beliefs and goals?
- How can you connect your beliefs to your current work?
Psstt…We want to challenge you with these questions! Knowing your “Why” shouldn’t be easy and that’s why it’s the first step in our Clarity Plan Intensive 😉 We customize to your WHY because we know you’re different.
FINDING YOUR PURPOSE
Passion can come and go, but purpose is forever (or at least, until you’ve completed your purpose and found another one).
Your purpose will help shape and form your why.
When I began NVious, I set out to do what I love and partner with businesses that help other people (and it was a great idea) BUT, I was too broad.
It took me two HOT seconds, but I finally figured out that I actually wanted to help people feel…
Relief. Clarity. Inspired. Confidence. Powerful. Excited (my WHY!).
I found out exactly how I could do that and it really played to my strengths. I could now be the one facilitating those emotions. The more I rooted down on my purpose, the clearer EVERYTHING got: my offers, who I worked with, what I enjoyed, my framework… all of it became more clear.
And now I work with designers and creatives because I LOOOOVE what they do (and honestly wish I had that talent myself lol).
I found this answer through SO MUCH trial and error. Tough experiences with clients, long nights stressing about why I constantly felt like I needed a shift and not knowing where, wanting a legit business, but really just working in one of my own creations…
If I had had the opportunity to do a Clarity Plan on my own business earlier… I can almost guarantee I’d be at least two years ahead of where I am now!
Once you discover your “why,” your clients will know and understand your YOU. Remember, your WHY is yours alone and if you don’t know the answer yet, I urge you to seek it out with all your might!
