Sneak peek from Sharp Body, Sharp Mind

,

Last Friday it was time for our new concept called Sharp Body, Sharp Mind at Bosön, Stockholm. Actually, what happens at Bosön stays at Bosön 😉 But I’ll give you a sneak peek…

We started with a workout session to fully wake up, be present and get our creativity flow. As you know workout really boost creativity by increasing blood flow, giving focus and increasing confidence.

Then, three breakthrough workshops giving the group new ideas and insights when it comes to Your Next Big Thing, What’s Your Case and Your Professional Reputation. It was amazing how the group shared ideas and helped stretching each other’s comfort zones! Big up to all whom participated! 🙂

Last but not least the group together took on a workout challenge based on the expectations they’d build during the day. And delivered, of course.

Well, we had sweat – but no blood and no tears. Instead we had lots of passion and laughter. I believe we all learned something new about ourselves during the day.

Next event will take place on May 8th at Bosön. We will continue doing this with small, exclusive groups. Make sure to reserve your spot by sending me an email kristina@careofnext.com.

Start before you’re ready!

We often strive to have everything under control before starting something or launching a new product, service or idea. But have you noticed that this just never happens? Instead, while we’re trying to get things under control, someone else takes the opportunity and disrupts the market. Conclusion: we need to get started before we’re ready! As Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn, said “If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.” Your Next Big Thing is waiting for you. What can you start today, even if you “aren’t ready”?

The difference between a vision and Your Next Big Thing

Was asked about the about the difference between a vision and Your Next Big Thing. Well, to me a vision is a utopia that will never be fully reached. It depends both on internal and external factors. It’s a goal that is often intangible and (unfortunately) full of clichés. Your Next Big Thing is within your control, inspires to action, is doable and hands on. It’s not a goal but a process for continuous improvement. One of my business mentors talks about always upgrading the Beta version of ourselves. It’s about progress, not perfection. It’s about Your Next Big Thing.

Success is not perfection, it’s making progress

Success is not about perfection, it’s about making progress. Something every entrepreneurial mind need to remember…and sometimes be reminded of 🙂 Success is about continuously improving and becoming more unique. It’s about taking action even if you can’t foresee the outcome. It’s about dreaming big, but start small. These are essential parts of my take on Your Next Big Thing. It’s not a goal, it’s a system for continuous improvement. That inspires you to stretch yourself, become more you and do more of what you really want to do.

The definition of entrepreneurship is changing

The definition of an entrepreneur is changing. Read an article on Forbes the other day where author Dan Schawbel talks about how the typical definition – someone who starts a company – is replaced by a person who sees opportunities and pushes them. The new definition is all about mindset. My firm believe is that, in today’s and tomorrow’s fast changing work life, you need to have an entrepreneurial mindset in order to be successful. It’s time to unleash your inner entrepreneur and go for Your Next Big Thing!

Expand your mental bandwidth

mental bandwidth

Heard the expression ”Expand your mental bandwidth” a while ago. That really spoke to me! When expanding our mental bandwidth we open up for new perspectives and see things as they can, be instead of as they are. To grow and develop, to challenge our comfort zone and use our creativity is essential parts of being alive. To me, stagnation means slowly fading away. That’s why I’m dedicated to spark your entrepreneurial mind and release the power of Your Next Big Thing!

Where do you find your energy – in your past or in your future?

energy

Yesterday I spent a full day with my business school. What really struck me was that successful entrepreneurship is about energy. When you feel energized, your entrepreneurial mind has the spark needed to see things as they could be rather than as they are. You’ll inspire those around you and create positive expectations among your clients, prospects and colleagues.

When are you most energetic and inspiring – when you talk about what you’ve done in the past or when you tell what you intend to do in the future? I know my answer. It´s time to start telling about Your Next Big Thing! 🙂

Hard to hit a target you can’t see…

Ever tried to play dart with your eyes closed? I guess not, seems like a stupid idea, as you can’t see the target. To hit a goal you can’t see is hard, not to say impossible – no matter if it’s the bullseye on the dartboard, or if it’s your vision of what you’d like to accomplish in your professional life. If you don’t know Your Next Big Thing it is very unlikely it will come true. You will end up feeling uninspired and drained of energy. But when you know Your Next Big Thing, and continuously take small step towards it, you’ll have the power to change the world.

Your Next Big Thing!

From now on I will sharpen my focus on your Next Big Thing. Why? Because the world was built by inspired people, just as the future world will be. To feel inspired you have to know why you’re doing what you’re doing and you need a vision of what you’d like to accomplish – what difference you’d like to make. And that’s the essential parts of my definition of your Next Big Thing. When you know your Next Big Thing you will not just feel inspired – you will inspire others. And together you can change the world.
Are you ready to go for your Next Big Thing?
