Winds are Changing

Waiting for the hurricane has me reflecting on this past year as an entrepreneur.  There has been some highs and real lows.  I keep it real because that’s who I am. I am ready to take it to the next level.

There are some changes that will be coming.  I will be letting go of some things and concentrating on the core values of bambooshoot: Strength, Flexibility, and Growth.  I know that I can come through any difficulties if I stay grounded in my beliefs and my abilities.   I also need to rely on the people who believe in me and give me honest feedback.  My true supporters listen to my struggles, help me to find a different avenue, and show up when no one else does.

I also have amazing coaches. I do recommend a coach that can walk you through your difficult times and also give you honest feedback on how you are conducting yourself.   We need that mirror to build us up and to show us reality.

I will be focusing more on my speaking, training, and coaching through my other website: https://www.bambooshoot.co/. You can always check out my other sites that helped me with my risidual income:

When We Let our Fire Burn Out

Has anyone ever felt stagnation in their business or complacency with growth in themselves?  Did you feel like something or someone is holding you back, but you can’t pinpoint the exact reason?  Are you part of an organization that can’t increase their members or customer base?

A dangerous part of groupthink happens when participants say “if ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” When you are on your own and had a taste of success, you are overconfident. Leaders and entrepreneurs have a perilous thought that people will be trampling in to buy their products or use their services. People think that the good times will keep going and fill up the slow times. Business owners don’t understand why they did not get any new customers. Organizations and churches do not grow. I’ve been in restaurants that had long lines of people when they first opened.  The same restaurants now have a handful of customers.

I’ve been there. I’m in it and slowly crawling out of this abyss.  I should have hustled during the good times and followed up with potential customers.  I depended on a few eggs when I should have cracked the whole dozen.  No matter how many motivational videos I look at, I need to assess quickly, plan and implement.  Challenge appears. Pivot.  Overconfidence. Reassess the plan. Stagnant growth. Create.  Being proactive is necessary. There is no down time when you are an entrepreneur.

Imagine if we had that mantra with every aspect of our life or our world?  No downtime in creating peace. No down time when we need to rid the ocean of the plastic islands forming. No downtime when we are advocating for our children’s education and safety. No downtime when we stoke our fires with our partner in life. Do not let your fire burn out.  I promise to keep mine burning.

Intention

I wanted to make sure I thanked everyone for following my business FB: https://www.facebook.com/bambooshoot.co/.

Thank you to clients for trusting me to coach and train you on change and growth.  Finally,  thank you fashionistas for your purchases.  Kokoon has exciting news for 2018; http://www.kokoon.net/Vince-Abramo. Also, the next jewelry pop up will go to help a family that lost their father while snorkeling in Maui: http://www.chloeandisabel.com/boutique/vince/roesel-family-fund-0

My intention this year is to make sure I thank everyone that are supporters of my new adventure. We know that at the beginning of the year everyone has their best intentions to meet a goal. Goals may be to organize your home, or to lose weight, or to stick to a budget.  With all of these good and purposeful intentions, I wondered how many of us write those goals down and are quickly forgotten in several weeks. We also tend to write the same goals every year.

I have my clients write their dreams.  This is the first step into intention. Working with many people at the beginning of this year and having them write their intentions, helped me think and write my own.  Here are my goals:

  1. Remember to thank people for their support
  2. Add value to people to carry out their intentions
  3. Take time to take care of myself, my family, and my community

Take that first step. Write your intentions here. Start on your goals today.  I’m here to help you accomplish what you have been writing every year.
