Evolve with Intention

The Enlightened Entrepreneur

Everything around a business changes. The customer changes, the marketplace changes, the competitive landscape changes. If a brand isn’t changing, then the runway of success becomes really short and growth will either flatline or dip into the red. As an individual and as a business owner, I viewed change as a departure from what I was or as a failure. In reality, the opposite is true. It is an evolution; I’m becoming who I’ve always been. My experience qualifies me to become more of who I am because it leads me to follow my passions, my interests, my curiosities; it leads me to seek out experiences that totally leverage the skills I’m good at. Moving toward change opened a world of possibility of how evolution can be INTENTIONAL.

Evolution is not a linear process; it’s circular. It’s doing all of these things that don’t belong together, but doing them because they make us feel ALIVE. Ask yourself: What am I good at ? What do I love? What do I want to do? Take the time to step back and reflect, and begin to make sense of what your answers. Know that all of those experiences called to you for a reason. Following them is no coincidence and no mistake. Don’t limit yourself to what your resume says. Give yourself the permission to create and put out into the world something that might not be perfect, but that is totally alive for you. Release your grip and let things unfold. Follow what makes you feel curious and excited, and you’ll get so much closer to knowing what you actually want to spend your time doing!
