Whether we work 1:1 over a period of months or in a one-day deep dive, you’ll get clear on what you need to do to bring your business into alignment with your values in such a way that your business is sustainable, profitable and equitable.
Pivoting your business in a time of great change is like running a race and realizing you need to change your socks. It’s alright to stop, sit, change your socks, then run again.
The time that you spend stopping, sitting, and refocusing is not wasted time, or optional time. It’s essential to being in business. It’s what resilience looks like.
It’s what’s going to help you respond to the changing world in a way that aligns with your core values and deeply held ideals.
By taking the time to step back and work ON your business, you come into closer relationship with your business; your business becomes the vehicle through which you embody what you care about.
In the process of working with me, you get the chance to ask yourself some very deep, instructive, essential questions that will guide you to building a sustainable business based on your values.
- Why am I in business?
- What impact do I want to make in my community?
- What are my values?
- How can I align my values with business decisions?
- What would my relationship to my staff and subs look like if I paid them an amount that matched what was needed to support themselves and their families, access medical care, buy a house, send their kids to college?
- What would my profit and loss statement and balance sheet need to look like in order to pay my people an equitable wage?
- What business decisions would need to change in order to eliminate the carbon footprint of my manufacturing process?
- How can I hold both the thought “I can’t afford to (switch from disposable to reusable, pay for a medical plan for my employees, raise my peoples’ compensation, fill in your problem here,” with “What would need to change in how I do business in order to generate the profits necessary to (switch from disposable to reusable, pay for a medical plan for my employees, raise my peoples’ compensation, fill in your problem here?”
Your answers to these questions will provide the framework for actualizing your vision. While the process is simple, it is not easy.
I don’t have a magic bullet for what to pivot your business to, or guarantees for how long it might take, or even if it will “work.” Some parts of this will be hard. But what I do know is this: it is possible to get comfortable with the discomfort and to dance with uncertainty.
In this process, I accompany and support you as you find the answers for yourself. I lay out the steps that helps you clarify and implement, that holds both the vision of the change you want to see in the world and provides the physical steps to live into that.
The process in a nutshell:
- Define your values.
- Assess where your current business is and is not in alignment with those values
- Continue what’s working
- Design equity into your business to bring what’s not in alignment into alignment.
