Why Your Business Needs a Strong Vision with Lori Konkler

A business without a powerful vision is like a river meeting the sea.

You realize there's a huge market of possibilities -- you see no end, no beginning in sight. You're either lost or are trapped in a loop of events that take you nowhere.

Ever had that moment?

It's hard to route for success with no clarity of vision.

In this episode of She Turned Entrepreneur, business success coach Lori sat with me to share why she decided to pivot from her full-time job to help freelancers discover their "why". She shares why you need to root into your vision to succeed in your venture.

Lori knows first-hand what it takes to set up a successful business. And no, she didn't discover that the first time.

It took her two failed businesses and considerable money before she realized how to put the pieces together and land the idea and vision behind her now thriving business, The Xennial Traveler.

Lori's words radiate so much positivity and hope that I'm sure you'll leave inspired. For the best part, Lori also shares how to allow yourself to be vulnerable and put your true self out there even when running a business.

Know what you want and reveal that authentically through your business. And you'll eventually have your business move firmly forward. Being human is the first step to achieving success.

Some other things we discuss:

●      Acknowledge your mistakes. It doesn't make you look any less capable; it translates as your willingness to correct or do better.

●      Automate and organize your business processes. You can't handle everything by yourself all the time.

●      No challenge is permanent. With the needed effort, things will get better in the end.
