Easy Business Mindfulness Exercise - The Emms

In the hustle and bustle of business, it's easy to get caught up in the daily grind and lose sight of the bigger picture. If you’ve been following us for a while, you probably already know we’re huge believers in goal setting and reflection to assess how things are going and chart a clear course ahead.

Based on experience, we know that taking a moment to assess where you are, celebrate your wins and plan your next steps can make a significant difference in your business' success. That's why we're sharing our quick and easy Business Mindfulness Exercise with you to help you do just that.

To complete this quick exercise, grab a cup of coffee and find a quiet corner. Pull out your phone and open your your Notes, grab a pen and paper or open a document on your laptop - whatever works for you, and get ready to think about each of these dimensions and questions below.

Ready? Let’s go!

Celebrate your Proudest Moments

Looking back at the past couple of months, what are you most proud of in your business? This can be anything from business success to making the right hire, solving a complex problem and anything in between. What matters is that it’s meaningful to you.

Learn from the Past

If you had to do it over, what would you do differently? What can you learn from this experience? How can you implement those learnings in your business to improve further?

Connect with your Customers

How do your customers feel about your business today? Is it the same, better or worse than last year? Do you know? How can you find out and what can you do to bring them delight?

Unlock the Power of your 'WHY’

How do YOU feel about your business overall right now? If you’re feeling a bit burnt out, try to think back to your WHY. It can be one of the most powerful tools to move you forward in business.

Set a Course for Success

What do you want to achieve by the end of the year? What steps will you take to get there?

I hope you took a moment to think about these questions and that you kept your answers to easily refer back to in a few months to check in with yourself again and monitor your progress. That’s what we do too! :)
