Three important questions

   I am looking forward to learning how to have confidence in myself to run a business. I am confident in my management skills. I am confident in my leadership skills. I am confident in my sales skills. How come I am not confident in myself to own my own business? Maybe I am limiting what kinds of businesses I can own. In “A Hero’s Journey” I learned how to find out what I can do and what I want to do. I am hoping the three questions will help me in this process.

               1. Have I contributed something meaningful?

               2. Was I a good person?

               3. Who did I love and who loved me?

I feel like I can do this in my career but I am not sure how to transfer it to my own business. I may be overthinking the process. I have not asked five people about my greatest skills but what I think I will be told are my soft skills. I always gravitate to training opportunities and coaching and developing. My challenge is to research how to use these skills.

               Another valuable lesson from “A Hero’s Journey” was on ethics. Writing a message in a bottle type letter for a future temptation at first seemed like a waste of time. Upon pondering it I realized it would be easier to give myself advice now instead of trying to rationalize a temptation at a later time.
