Vision is so important for business….and for life.

Through great tragedy, I was inspired to reflect on the very idea of who I had become professionally. I thought I had it dialed in before only to realize I had lost a sense of who I was, clouded by my past successes and failures. Thankfully, my commitment to learn and grow from that experience resulted in me becoming an industry influencer, gaining the respect of my peers and the eye of my ideal clients. And this allowed me to create a vision like I never had before.

I was fortunate to be invited onto the Influencer Networking Secrets Podcast with Paul Edwards recently. During our conversation, I was able to share the importance of having a vision for your business, nonprofit, ministry or career.

Yesterday was Memorial Day. And as I considered those who sacrificed their lives for us, I couldn’t help but think of the time I shared with Robert Valentino. I didn’t know Robert was a former US Army Ranger until we were already recording and while that was surprising enough, the story he told me of one of his best friends losing his life in battle shocked me like never before.

Check out this re-release of an early episode of the Exsellence Mindset podcast. It was a great one!

——————–

Robert Valentino is a Lean Six Sigma consultant and a former US Army Ranger. The experiences, skills, and mindset he acquired during his time in the military are related to Lean Six Sigma. Lean Six Sigma is a life and business approach that involves team effort to improve performance and achieve excellence.

Recently, a friend DM’d me on Instagram because she received a bad review. She went on to ask how I deal with bad reviews, negative feedback, and unsatisfied clients. She then recommended I share my response on the podcast so here we are.

In this episode, I talk about how I deal with them, what I’ve learned from them, and what growth I’ve experienced as a result of them.

Hint: they are great opportunities if we deal with them appropriately!
