The key to a personal brand isn't the "what" or "how" of what we do. When we build on this we blend in with everyone else.  The key to standing out is discovering our "Why?"  Our "why" is our purpose, it's the thing that truly drives us in everything that we do. Here are two things I do with clients to help them discover their "Why?" 1.  What do you want to be known for when you're 70 years old? 2.  What did you like and dislike about each job that you've had?

OC051: Seven Steps to Making Better Decisions

You are definitely your best asset but the reality is that none of us are complete.  We each have unique personalities and giftings but none of us are great at everything.  Regardless of whether we're self-employed or working within an existing company or organization we're guaranteed to be more successful if we build around who we are.  There are three ways to build around who we are: 1. Build around your personality.  We use the Meyers Briggs test to dive into who we are.  Not only is the helpful to better understand what you do naturally it also helps to understand the roles that will drain you.  It's great to have someone close to you fill in these gaps with their personality. 2. Build around your strengths.  The Strength Finders Assessment is a great way to assess your top 5 strengths.  If you're like me when you see your results you'll have an "a-ha" moment and some things that you thought were quirky turn out to be your greatest strengths.  With 34 strengths out there it's vital to know your own and then bring in others to help build a complete skill set. 3.  Build around your preferences.  In addition to our personalities and strengths we also have preferences.  We shouldn't discount these when it comes to building a team.  For every task I prefer not to do there's someone who loves to do it.  So I say, let them do it!  It helps them fulfill their role and it leaves time on your plate for the things that come more naturally.    Join our Private Facebook Group!

To be honest, I'm done with it....so here are the three things that I'm doing to kill it so I can go onward. 1. Starve it----remove the things that feed it 2. Replace it ---- find other "wolves" to run with 3.

OC096: The cost and benefit of self awareness

Laura Bento

Do you have an idea that is great but you don't have the experience for?  This is a common problem among entrepreneurs and often times keeps us from pursuing our dreams.   A few weeks ago I met Laura Bento, founder of Good Grit Magazine, and was shocked by one of her first statements.  I expected to her say that she had worked for publications for years and after proving herself had decided to start her own magazine.  Instead she told me "Prior to starting Good Grit I had never actually subscribed to a magazine before."  After a few more questions I discovered that when she conceived the idea for Good Grit she had ZERO publication experience. Prior to launching her magazine she ran a consulting company and found herself needing to learn new skills consistently.  She was able to utilize multiple opportunities to build her skill set through curiosity and the simple art of asking questions. Laura is the ultimate learner and has leverages this skill set to build Good Grit. In this Episode you will learn:  You are not limited by your experience. Drama and low points make for a great life story. Fear is different than being scared. Fear prevents you from pursuing your ideas whereas being scared is something you feel WHILE pursuing your ideas.

Welcome to the Onward Creatives Podcast.  This is the place for anyone who is dreaming of making a change in their lives, taking a leap into a new adventure, or wondering if their idea is worth pursuing.

OC031: How to Start Beyond your Experience with Laura Bento of Good Grit Magazine

Until we define our purpose and what we actually want we'll always struggle with the time we invest in our work.  Many of us are frustrated with work/life balance because we don't see the reason why.  Why do we work?  What's the purpose behind the traffic, the long hours, the hard work?   Viktor Frankl said "Life is never made unbearable by circumstances but only by lack of meaning and purpose." So if we want to discover how to succeed with purpose we need to ask three key questions. 1. What do you want? 2. What do you want to be known for? 3. What do you want the ending to look like?

OC054: Feed the Courage and Starve the Fear

There are few subjects as divisive as work/life balance.  We definitely live in a world of polarizing opinions on what this means and what is the proper balance.  On one side of the equation is the group idealizing working from the beach, living life to it's fullest all the time.  On the other side is the "I hustle and work while you sleep and play."  Both sides are loud mouthed, opinionated and mostly motivate through guilt.  You deserve better than this! It's time to rethink the whole work/life debate (which includes redefining these stupid words). 1. There's not just one definition of work/life balance.  It's not the fewest amount or the most amount of hours which wins, because each of us is different.  It's time that we let go of the guilt and the manipulation and realize that proper balance varies from person to person. 2. Stop seeing work and life as opposing factors.  The fact is that life is everything.  Life is family, work, play and us as individuals.  Hotwire president Henrik Kjellberg has reframed the discussion around work and leisure.  He works in order to enjoy leisure and his leisure refreshes him for his work.  There's no separation between the two and they're not always opposing factors. 3. Succeed with a purpose.  Jim Bird thinks of this as achievement and enjoyment.  You work for a purpose which is where you find enjoyment.  This step is probably where most of us struggle because we've never taken the time to define what we really want, or we're afraid to admit it to others.  Until we define our purpose and what we actually want we'll always struggle with the time we invest in our work.

OC039: Three ways to rethink work / life balance

The creative journey that we're on is tough, exhausting and at times overwhelming. What would happen if you quit?  Seriously, what would happen if you called it quits?  This a group of creatives: some of us are in existing businesses using our creativity to support and grow established businesses, some of us are solo artists trying to make it as writers, photographers, artists and others of us are building a tribe about an idea or thought.  All of these can be exhausting and can push us to the edge.  So what would happen if you quit? To be honest....it would probably feel great.  What if we stopped moving forward and decided to stay where we are, doing what we've been doing?  We would probably feel relieved.....and then we wouldn't.  Our ideas for business, art and creativity are not some frivolous thing we pursue out of boredom or restlessness, they're birthed out of the depths of who we are.  Although powering this side of us down would feel good for a brief season, as soon as we caught our breath we would once again feel the call to pursue these ideas Onward. What would happen if you quit? Play it out....write it down....and every time you want to give up and go back, replay this story and allow the regrets of not pursuing your ideas, dreams and art to flood your heart and mind. You were made for this, what would happen if you quit?

OC038: You can do this!

Ready to have that dream job?  There are two key steps to growing into your dream job.  You have to start with the job you're wanting to get (or you're wanting to build).  The main benefit is that it lets you know what people are looking for in the role you want to fill.  It also gives you the language you need to speak fluently.  The second step is to measure yourself up against this job description.  The key to this is to start with your strengths, look for the places that come naturally to you.  Then move onto the gaps, the places where you're not as strong. Fill in these gaps with as many resources as possible.  You also need to fill these gaps with experience of some type.  These two steps are key to growing into your dream job.

Social Media feels just like High School.  I came to this realization when I jumped out of social media for the last few months.   There are three things I've learned about social media while being out of social media. 1.

Real is always better (it's true with butter and it's true with life)     Join our Private Facebook Group!
