“Full Inventory Discovery”Uncovering passions and talents you can best

monetize

“The law of work; the more enjoyment you get out of your work, the more money you will make.”

-Mark Twain

Let’s have fun with this, yes ?! I suggest listening to your audio program, “5 Steps to Confidence and Clarity to Create Your Soul-Fueled Business and Impact the World in a BIG Way” either before or during this exercise. That way, we are doing this together. Everything is better when we take a friend along, right?

Fill in the boxes below with your personal and professional experience. Bullet points are perfectly fine. Only you will see this, so simply take enough notes to trigger your thoughts/memories.

Education

Work experience (No worries… This isn’t a boring resume (yawn)… just a

simple outline of the big stuff.)

Volunteer work

Feeling proud of yourself yet? You should be!

Hobbies or part-time interests

Training: professional/non-professional

Entrepreneurial endeavors (Beginning in your youth with lemonaide stands. I had a window washing business at 7 years old – how strange is that!)

Talents and skills (include soft skills e.g. listening, advocating)

Subjects you have mastered or are known for

Life experience (These are significant events that have shaped who you are.)

After you have completed your inventory of awesomeness:1. Place a marker of some kind next to those things that

hit you deep (an arrow or heart symbol perhaps). Try not to over-think this. Simply go with your gut… ‘Yes, there is something powerful here.’

2. Then, place an asterisk next to anything you absolutely love doing… an activity or skill that when expressed, you lose all track of time. These are things that feel very natural to you. (In fact, we almost always take them for granted.) You feel at

ease, and in the flow when you are expressing yourself in this way.

3. Place a second asterisk next to those activities or skills others have told you are very good at. These are areas you have received external validation about.

Now, there are much deeper and more extensive ways to hone in on what areas are most likely to make you great money while making you and the world happy (I come at this from multiple angles in my SoulFUEL™ program and it takes time) but for now, let’s go back and notice the following… If there is something with a heart or an arrow and two asterisks, write it here:

If there is something with two asterisks only, write it here:

If there is something with a heart or arrow symbol only, write it here:

You will begin to see certain aspects of yourself rise to the top. If you are currently not expressing yourself in these ways, you may find yourself feeling empty, unfulfilled, and frustrated. There’s a reason for that. Contained within are core elements of who we are designed to be. When we are

living outside of who we really are, we suffer… so much. It doesn’t have to be that way, beloved.

All right… pay particular attention to what you noted with a heart/arrow and two asterisks. There is very likely SoulFUEL™ in those areas… meaning the seeds of something you can create to make the world, and yourself very happy. This is the ultimate in filling yourself up and making the difference in the world only you can make. There is good stuff in the remaining two boxes also (two asterisks only, or heart/arrow symbol only). This is where you may find additional aspects to bring into your Soul-Fueled business - things that will make you even more distinct and unique with your primary focus – the core of your idea being rooted in that first box where you have two asterisks and a heart/symbol.

Really the best, and only way I’ve found to sort through all this is with a Coach, and I’m not just saying that because I am one! It’s remarkable how much we are blind to. A good Coach can uncover your brilliance much easier than you ever can and help you formulate a creative and distinct business concept that is most likely to make you a great and consistent income.

In the meantime, ponder what you uncovered here. Take your time, go back and fill in more as things percolate then begin to brainstorm a vision for your Soul-Fueled business. Much love!
