Having a vision that is compelling and motivating for you is undoubtedly one of the best ways to keep up the momentum and move forward in your business.

This is definitely harder in the beginning of the entrepreneurial journey as you may not be as clear on where you want to be, you may want to experiment, and you may know what you don’t want but are less clear on what you do want.

This is why having a reason – knowing your ‘why’ – is so important as it inspires you to keep doing what you are doing, to keep reaching out, to keep showing up, and to keep moving through the bits that bring up fear in you.

My vision has changed throughout my entrepreneurial journey, and that’s okay. In the beginning it was about bringing wellness into the workplace and seeing offices have more rest, honouring the seasons and cycles, cutting out junk food, and giving employees more emotional and mental support. It was a strong vision and one I still fully believe in, but as I was no longer working in an office and really didn’t like going into one, there was a definite mismatch there. I tried and tried to hold on to it, I even tried to change it to supporting sensitive people in the workplace to align it more with myself but, eventually, I had to accept that it’s not a vision that I am necessarily here to actively play a part in.

Where my heart lies is in changing the system at a grassroots level, eventually leading to a global scale, and empathpreneurs are the ones that will do that. So, my vision has changed to reflect that now. It is one that makes me more motivated than I have ever felt. I have dived deeper into areas that have held me back before and moved through them. I have followed my intuitive guidance on action to take, with no procrastination – unlike before. I am passionate about this work and honoured I get to do it. 

• How do you feel about your vision? Are you able to hold it? If not, perhaps it needs some tweaking. Does it reflect where you are at now?

This is the message I received at the beginning of the Covid-19 lockdown. It helped me reconnect with my vision and might be supportive for you as I feel that this time was the start of the great awakening, which empaths are here to play a part in:

Now is a wonderful time to re-connect with your vision for what you would like this planet to be like. Yes, there is a lot of fear, overwhelm and uncertainty. But change is most often brought about during these times, and you have an opportunity now to create the world you want. Spread your messages of beauty, love, healing and compassion. Support others and show the world that there is another way, rooted in kindness, sustainability and love.

• What is the kind of world you would like to live in?
• What values do you stand for? 
• What changes would you like to see made?
• Why?
• How can the work you do contribute to bringing into existence what you would like to see?
