It helps you stay aligned with your intention and it often helps when you get sidetracked by some cool idea that has nothing to do with the What and the Why....but is distracting anyway. I also find that staying connected to the What and the Why makes discovering the how a whole lot easier! Rock on! Leah I think that always keeping the What and the Why in mind is a good thing.

Hi Lydia, good point. Too rigid of an approach can leave you curled up in a ball, waiting for a better week. That's why awareness is such a powerful strength for an Ittybiz owner. Without it she is like the fly bashing her head against the window, trying to break free. Hi Stacey, yes you can hold the world and me to that statement. I promise that when you align your needs with the value that you put out into the world - good stuff will keep raining down upon you (in an enjoyable way). Naomi, thank you for posting my article. I always love to see the reaction of readers from a different blog than my own. Hi Deb, as long as you have a clear idea of how you want to deliver value to others it makes life so much easier.

I started knowing it will likely be a long building process. And that's fine, because I believe in what I'm doing. Worst case, it will be valuable experience if I have to do something else, and hopefully I've contributed something worthwhile in the meantime. "...the world will eventually reward you." Thanks for the inspiration, Karl. Um. can I hold you (and the world) to that? I started my latest adventure with the knowledge that my audience may be too small to sustain a business.

“…the world will eventually reward you.” Thanks for the inspiration, Karl. Um. can I hold you (and the world) to that?

I have seen it stifle a lot of creativity and real passion. The key is to remain flexible and alert. I caution against going with the “end in mind” approach.

It works in not only envisioning your long-term 'save the world' passion coming true and what that would look and feel like, but also in smaller term goals. Taking the why you're doing what you're doing and combining that with a clear vision of where you want to be in 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years lets you know what you need to be thinking, feeling, and doing today.
