Staying True to Your Vision

As many of you know, we started This Is It! Creations in 2005 with a bit of creativity, a love of making journals that helped people, and the dream of working together.
In the years since, we have kept that vision alive by always coming back to what we know and love. When we veered off of that path (even slightly) through the years, we always saw signs and messages (sometimes in the form of some tough lessons) that helped us get back to our own truth - our own passion - our own vision.With that said, we have many wonderful changes coming up for This Is It! Creations.
After much soul searching over the past few months, Dan and I have decided to get back on the path that we are happiest on - the path that brings the most passion - the path where everything seems to flow.
And while it can be a bit scary to take this leap of faith - we know that it's exactly what we are meant to do.
So for now, I'll leave this a bit vague - we'll reveal our new (or old) direction and changes shortly. If you are just starting your own business - one bit of advice that I would give is to set a clear vision right in the beginning.
What does your ideal business look like?
Why are you starting it?
What do you hope to achieve from it?
How does it run on a day to day basis?
And so on...
And then keep coming back to your vision - stay conscious and tweak it through the years if necessary. But make sure that your vision is truly your vision - and not a vision that you think you should have or that you have tweaked because you want to keep everyone else happy. It has to be your own passion - your own vision.
Believe me - if you have that, life (and business) will flow.
In gratitude,
Jodi
