Baby Booomer - Tips On How to Create A Compelling Vision for Your Life (Encore Career)


Baby boomer, like everyone else, you need a compelling vision of your future. Most business coaches will tell you this is the first step in deciding if you are going to start a business and determining how you will define success. If you explore starting a business, or any form of encore career, you must define success on your terms.

In reality, defining a compelling future is the first step to any kind of success. Marie Forleo, of Marieforleo.com , shares her tips on how to clarify your Life Vision. It is getting this clarity that is so important.

We all have this vision, whether we have stated it or not. If you don’t clarify it in your mind, the fuzziness of it often becomes your obstacle to achieving what you want. 

In this video, Marie explains this to a young person. However, as you watch it you will see she makes the point that your Life Vision really applies to people of all ages. I know Marie personally. She is a pretty smart cookie. Check her out.

This Life Vision is, of course, a part of your entrepreneurial mindset. For more thoughts on developing your entrepreneurial mindset, join our free Smarter Small Business Blog mailing list. Go to: http://MyBabyBoomerBusinessDream/weebly.com and give me your e-mail.

“

Worst one ever

Forty years ago today was my first bout of speaking in front of an audience. (And as I remember it, I approached it as a fight, not an opportunity.) I was distracted, nervous and not particularly well received.

It was an epic fail. Friends and relatives agreed that I wasn’t engaged or engaging, certainly a performance not to be repeated.

I ignored the part about not repeating it, but I definitely learned some valuable lessons about confidence and engagement.

Just about anything worth doing is worth doing better, which means, of course, that (at least at first) there will be failure. That’s not a problem (in the long run), it’s merely a step along the way.

If you’re not willing to get your ‘worst one ever’ out of the way, how will you possibly do better than that?

~ Seth Godin 6/9/13

Seth Godin inspires us to face one of our biggest fears. We have to have the confidence to take the first step. The odds are that the first step will not be perfection. We have to take the first step and then begin on the path of getting better. That is a core part of the entrepreneurial mindset.

Seth's Blog: Reject the tyranny of being picked: pick yourself
Amanda Hocking is making a million dollars a year publishing her own work to the Kindle. No publisher. Rebecca Black has reached more than 15,000,000 listeners, like it or not, without a record label. Are we better off without gatekeepers?…

Today, Seth Goden is celebrating his 5,000 th post. An associate of his nominated her selection for the five best posts he has done. For aspiring entrepreneurs, I think this post is one of the most important.

One of the single most important steps in developing the entrepreneurial mindset is giving yourself permission rather than waiting for someone else to give you permission. YOU decide that it is time for you to be an entrepreneur.

Thanks Seth for your contribution and inspiration. We celebrate with you.
