Why This Mercury RX Will Be Your Most Productive Yet
I've been saying this for as long as people have been listening - Mercury Retrogrades can be productive! But that doesn't usually “get the clicks” as they say.
Call me kooky, but I personally love that Mercury RX is hitting at the end of the year, making it PERFECT timing for reviewing 2023. Whether that's getting your receipts in order for your taxes (I'm only doing this because my accountant is strongly suggesting I should, lol) or looking back at your most successful IG posts, it's all a worthy exercise.
And because I promised, let's talk about another crucial aspect to living authentically - identifying your core values.
Core values are a set of foundational principles - the “how” you do everything. And you may have never thought about them before!
So here's a method to uncover yours and live more authentically:
Listen to the “Building a Value based business” episode this week with Jen Pearce! Jen is a powerhouse forging a new school of advocacy in the music industry. And yet, she is doing it while running a “for profit” company. Her core values or “ethos” are critical to her success and nicely woven into the conversation as to how and why. "Curiosity" is a core value we talk a lot about, along with “levity” so the conversation is fun AND educational. You'll love it.
Do your own core values exercise! I did this with my family's business a month or so ago and I do this with clients in the first few meetings in MBA: Look at the list on this site (I have since found this site I like as well) and highlight or write down the values you think are at the cornerstone of who you are and/or your business. Then flesh them out, narrowing down the list to 5-6 and adding the “why” behind them.
