I have shared with you previously how managing my life and business from a specific mission-focused perspective has enhanced my life, and also, how New York Times best selling author Laurie Beth Jones helped me clarify my mission. This week, I was thrilled to welcome Laurie Beth as my guest on Indie Business Podcast.
Laurie Beth is the author of The Four Elements of Success: A Simple Personality Profile that will Transform Your Team
To listen to my 30-minute interview with Laurie Beth, and to put her insights to work in your business now, click here. If you don't feel like listening right now, here is a high level summary of some of the things Laurie Beth and I discussed.
- Are you a “Spiritreneur”. Laurie Beth defines a Spiritreneur as those who can answer “yes” to these questions:
(1) are you doing work that honors God?
(2) are you doing work that honors your gifts and talents?
(3) are you making a living full-time doing that work?If you answered, “yes” to all three, Laurie Beth defines you as a Spiritreneur.
- Understand your personality type. Laurie Beth analogizes the four physical elements of the universe to our personality types. The four elements are earth, wind, fire. Each, says Laurie Beth, is characterized by traits that are present in your personality. Knowing which elements are dominant and not dominant for you is key to creating your ultimate success.
Be sure to listen to his part of the show so you know the distinct characteristics of each element. It's very enlightening to see how Laurie Beth helps you, as she says, “Tap into the creativity of the universe.”
- Laurie Beth's mission statement formula. Laurie Beth offers a simple formula to help you create your life mission statement. She says to it should include “three verbs, a core value, and a tribe.” Think about how easy that is!
Using Laurie Beth's formula helped me craft my mission statement: to empower and encourage women to maximize their potential through small business ownership.
You can do the same, and I can tell you from personal experience that having this laser focus has made all the difference in my life and my business.
