Reinvent Your Approach to Business
How do you hold the concept of business?
Many of us were taught that business is serious. And while it’s OK to have a bit of fun with it, it’s still business, which by default means it must be taken seriously.
The flip side of this is not taking things seriously enough, hoping things will all work out if you just wish hard enough. I’m not sure where this either/or approach to the concept of business came from. It does a particular disservice to those of us who work for ourselves by forcing us to act in a way that’s often counter to our true nature, which is never a recipe for success.

And the sneaky thing is, we often don’t realize we’ve fallen into this trapped way of thinking.
What if you rejected these extremes, and held business lightly, with a sense of fun, play, and curiosity, while also taking your business seriously?
When you choose to reinvent your approach to business, it broadens what’s possible. Consider having to pick between Star Trek and Star Wars. The answer is obviously both, a happy union of yes, and.
Pause for a moment to see where you land in this conversation. Notice the consequences of that way of thinking. Give yourself the space to explore what business could be like if you embrace the yes and of light and serious. What’s possible from that place?
The world needs you and what your business is offering.
Make it easy on yourself and find your yes and approach, the one that feels natural. By letting all the other approaches go you’ll find yourself in the flow, and your business and clients will thank you.
