Episode 80 - Geometry for Business

Geometry for Business

I recently heard a church sermon on “The Good Life” that made me think. And the more I thought about it, the more I realized that the same principles apply to being successful in business. It was all about geometry – specifically 3 shapes that were important to “master” if you want to be successful and enjoy “The Good Life”.

The 3 shapes are quite simple – a point, a line and a circle. And the application of these 3 geometric shapes in your life and your business may just be the key to success you’ve been searching for!

Here’s Your Net Worth Tip of the Day

The point represents you as a business owner taking time to be alone, to think, to study, to dream and to plan. You MUST dedicate time on a regular basis for these important activities if you intend to be successful.

The line represents the time you spend listening to and learning from experts in your field. This could be at conferences, in seminars, or in workshops where you change your surroundings and learn from those who share wisdom and learnings. You MUST make this a regular part of your ongoing personal development.

The circle represents your being a part of a small group of peers who are willing and able to support you, to challenge you and to hold you accountable. In business this is often called a Mastermind Group. It may be uncomfortable to be open and honest with others, but it is critical for each of us to be in a tight-knit circle.

Are you TRULY taking time to be alone to think and plan (point)?   Do you find time to get out of your every day environment to learn from others (line)? And are you invested in a small group where you’re sharing your inner-most feelings and challenges (circle)? Take some time this week to reflect on the geometry of your business.
