140: How to Focus When You are Multi-Passionate

Do you have multiple businesses or lots of business ideas? Are you struggling with figuring out how to focus when you are multi-passionate and enjoy many different types of endeavors? 

Have you ever gone on a trip and felt like there’s no way you could do all the activities you want to do in the time you’re there? This is similar to how we often feel as multi-passionate Christian women. We have so many ideas and so much we want to accomplish, and it can be really hard to narrow down and focus on one thing.

In this episode, I want to walk you through a process that I’ve used for myself to learn how to focus even when you have lots of ideas and passions you could pursue. This will be especially helpful if you are an entrepreneur or if you have business ideas, as I’ll be focusing on this from a business angle.

2 problems with trying to promote multiple businesses:

• It’s very challenging to try and build or grow more than one business because it's hard for people to know who to refer to you.
• We can spread ourselves too thin and end up being ineffective leaders.

How to Focus When You are Multi-Passionate:

• Step 1: List out all your ideas
• Step 2: Become self-aware
• Step 3: Put it all before God
• Step 4: Ask yourself: what would you really love to do?
  
• Step 5: Get input from trusted mentors or advisors
  
• Step 6: Run your options through the ‘ideal business’ filter
  
• Step 7: Decide and take action

 

Action Step:

Join the free Communicate & Connect Challenge. This challenge will help you to communicate effectively about what you do - your business or your passion project AND connect with the types of people who need to hear what you have to offer.

We’ll work through this together so you feel confident when someone asks you what you do, have the words to create curiosity instead of confusion, and can keep the conversation going to lead people down the path of working with you!
