  • Success Strategies for Creative Souls #81: What's Next for You?

    Fall is often a time of new beginnings and adventures. What are you ready to explore with your creative soul this season? We talked last month about things not working out and what needed to be released and/or transformed. Hopefully many of you have taken action in those areas and made some shifts by now. When it's time, try to put together the clues of a new vision for yourself. Even if you don't have the whole picture, see if you can identify the essence of what you want to create.

    I have a client now who is burned out and bored but not clear on what's the right next step. I aksed her to describe the feeling she wants to get, and she can say, "I need to be intellectually charged up over something. I want to care and be curious and roll up my sleeves and dig in." So I have her keeping an Excitement List for a month to see what really sparks her adrenalin.

    I have another client who just had a group of writing projects rejected and she is feeling dejected. She wants to give up, but I am encouraging her to take a broad view of her projects and see which one calls to her the most. It is a project on supporting the leaders of health care organizations. We are brainstorming new markets and a different format and thinking of marketing approaches that would be more fun and collaborative for her. She is getting psyched again about her target.

    Still a third client is debating whether or not he still wants to be a solo entrepreneur. He has a web business which sells design products and sales are sluggish and he feels like everything is a lot of work and reaping few results for his efforts. The idea of working with another company or under someone else's umbrella is appealing now, so he is exploring some options.

    So if you are ready for something new and different and invigorating for yourself, its' time to get some new perspectives and guidance and begin again!
