Business
If you've been following me recently, you'll have heard me be talking a lot about having non negotiables set in stone when you're planning stuff for your business. If you joined me for the last episode (016), I talked about how I planned out my next 12 months, the year 2022. But I started with my personal non negotiables and then structured everything around that. Because I believe that if we don't put them first, they will automatically slide straight to the back of the queue, they won't sit somewhere in the middle, it's either first or last, there's really no two ways about it. And I'm in a position right now, where I'm very, very fortunate to enjoy a work/life combination that feels like it fits really neatly around my values and my ethics and what I think is important. All the people that I work with, the kind of work that I do, the opportunities I'm exposed to, all fit in really snugly and really comfortably around my values and my beliefs - and my non negotiables. I would love for that combination for so many people I know who seem to be kind of running around like headless chooks with their businesses; they created a monster they now have to feed every day. So I was thinking, "where did it start for me? And how can I give some of that to other people so they can maybe start engineering stuff that way too?" So that's what we're doing in this episode. I'm going to take you back eight years now. And I'm going to walk you through how starting small and starting very simple with my non negotiables then grew and expanded and solidified to the level of fulfilment I have today. Even if you can implement some part of that in your life to make you feel as fulfilled and as 'balanced' (for lack of a better word), and lit up by what it is you do every day. If overarchingly you have this greater sense of purpose and everything you do is aligned more closely to your values and your beliefs and what you feel is a non negotiable, then that's what I want for you. So without further ado, let's jump on in! For show notes, links and more: W: meredithpaige.me // E: hello@meredithpaige.me // Insta: @meredithpaige.me // FB: @meredithpaige.me
