Hello everyone,
I'm excited to be kicking off Phase II of the cohort this Thursday. This is the Alignment phase. The purpose of this phase is to begin aligning the culture of the business with your personal Aspiration.
Topics we will cover include:
-Why culture matters and how it impacts all aspects of your business
-What a well-formed mission statement looks like
-How to use a mission statement for more than just wall art
-What core values mean to a business
-How to "discover" your core values
-What to do with them when you have them
-What changes in a business when it aligns with the founder's Aspiration as well as what changes for the founder
This module will be organized similarly to the first module we did together on Aspiration, but without the orientation component. So we will spend the entire hour+ on teaching the phase.
In order to prepare:
-Complete your Aspiration work, and have your pillars and Aspiration statement close by
-Have something to write with in case our pace allows for working sessions during the meeting. This is not always the case!
-Hopefully you can find a place where you can focus
Keep in mind, that everywhere we go from here is downstream of this work, so it's important!! You want to put real thought into this. The workbook for this section is robust, and you'll want to use the whole month to try to get this right before we move on to Architecture. That said, if you get any of it wrong, just change it when you realize that you are not in alignment.
Really excited for this one! Thank you, Arthur,
Arthur
P.S. If you didn't notice, opened her doors! Congratulations to her!!
