In this conversation we look through the lens of the Solo Business Director (SBD) to move closer to sharing a little more detail, specifically, the primary focus of the Solo Business Q1 (spoiler, it’s all about setting up the year from here!) and what we will be releasing across the year to (actually) resource Solo Business (another spoiler, we’re working with the Business Model to make do more of the work for you and your business!). Enjoy.

Meeting with our Little Language Matters* Solo Business Owner (SBO) lens, we share a little look at the vibe we’ve been picking up as the calendar clicked over from Jan to Feb. In short, the vibe has a growing sense of knowing where the business is going. Enjoy.

We’re welcoming you back through the lens of our Solo Business Owner (SBO) because it’s at this time of year (January) where the SBO focuses the focus and feels for the year we’re yet to (actually) realise.

During the most recent (traditional) business break between the last and the new years, we’ve continued to define and refine our part to play by contributing value to the space and place of Solo Business.

In our brief catchup, we invite you to listen lightly to find the feels for what we know now and how it will echo across everything from here. Enjoy.

In this conversation we share with you parts of a fellow Solo Business that only has you and your Solo Business front of 🧠. Here we share with you a sense of growing knowing of finding one’s feet in Solo Business through really looking at what we have been reporting, we let slip what we really think of the business mindset frame, and we give a little insight into what is coming up in the new year.

We are sharing a little behind a Solo Business during an extended regroup. In this convo you will hear how each Solo Business Role is now actively active in Little Language Matters* while potentially picking up all the warming vibes woven into the words at work here.

The point, the purpose and promise of this conversation is to be just one example. Yes we mention the resources we are working on to grow the normal norm of Solo Business (actually) feeling resourced and resourceful, but like the words we are using here, it has everything and nothing to do with us.

We believe Solo Business only has 🧠 space for simple — simple our focus.

Talking of simple, we are starting from simple in making Solo Business Projects ready for when you are👇

(Just in case this rings true for you, it is super nervy and exciting sharing this link…when do buy and begin one of the Solo Business Projects, we hope our technology gives you a smooth AF experience. Enjoy 😉)

Focus

Welcome back to our regular regulars and welcome to our new regulars. Recently we stopped sharing in our regular schedule — we stopped both with purpose and on purpose.

In this conversation we share an update.

As we do here, we do the thing we are talking about while talking about the thing we do (yes, language lets us be in both places at once). Here we share an update from the lens of our Little Language Matters* Business Director (lens).

Lens of Language

To find the feel for the Solo Business Director language lens and how it focuses a specific focus, you can know to notice the acknowledgement of the business delivery to date and the shift to walk to a level where the view of the detail of ‘where we have been’ and ‘where we are’ are both informing and inspiring our decisions and direction of where we are going growing from here.

There are those moments that we all know from time to time where we find ourselves in old ways and days and undoing all the good grown before now — this is one such moment in one Solo Business.

For a minute we have found those lazy conversations creeping into the room. Moving us to the type of conversations we already know, that have grown all their big grows and are now settled and set in where they are. While we enjoy leaning in and learning in these conversations, this is not the part Little Language Matters* to play.

Here we share a real lesson learned and a little of where we are growing from here.

Important: We’re stepping out of the office and look forward to returning fresh faced and growing in new ways in Solo Business Strategic Direction. Talk Soon.

In this conversation we offer you not any one way for you to business your Solo Business. Often ‘what works’ in your Solo business comes from the delivery layer in your systems, strategies, or services/products.

Sure, there are templates to trace to get started, to do it the first time, to grow it into your own. And then there are ways in your days that are already working, that need not change, but can do more of the heavy lifting across different parts of your Solo Business.

Here we take what you know in the doing of your delivery to be informed, influenced, and inspired by slipping in to lean on your Strategic Direction in your ways and days.

Have you ever been in those conversations and you think are you in sync, you are talking the same talk, and later learn you were so far off you just have to laugh out loud.

Confession, we are very totally all human here and we too have been talking to ‘scaling’ and ‘growing’ being interchangeable, and to a small degree we have been right 😅

Annnnnnd in the same breath, we have been missing out on a really real opportunity to be leaned on and leveraged 😃

We share a little of our now knowing and we are loving where it is going growing from here 🌱

How we think in our Solo Business generally often always falls into one of two cognitive comfort thinking camps. Some of us enjoy working among the big bigness of the big picture and picking the direction and destination. Some enjoy the diving into the detail taking the big picture and making it really real.

We have a choice. We can stay in our lane. Or, we can learn our comfort zone and enough of the other to be fully across our Solo Business. It is totally doable by first knowing it is a thing and then practicing it a little over a long time.

For now we illustrate one example of where this is commonly practiced out in moving from growing a Strategic Direction to playing our part in a Strategy.
