• S2E340 How to Find Your Sweet Spot in Business

  In this session recorded at a recent Buffini & Company event, Brian Buffini discusses the importance of knowing your “sweet spot” when it comes to your business — that place where your genuine interests, skills, and opportunities intersect. He notes that this is not set in stone but can and often does change depending on the “season life” of life” you are in. Brian also shares powerful strategies on how to circle back to your authentic self so that no matter what season you are in, you’ll be able to bring value, expertise and joy to not only your clients, but also to your own life. YOU WILL LEARN: How to define and lean into your sweet spot, even when the seasons of your life change. Why knowing and honoring your own unique gifts — instead of trying to be someone you’re not — will help you create a business filled with passion and joy that lasts. Why new technology, especially AI, will enhance, but never replace, the value that you bring to your clients.

And it'll intensify the referrals, not weaken it. Because in the world we're living in today, we're in more need of somebody to trust, not less.” — Brian Buffini "Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that can be counted counts.” — Brian Buffini itsagoodlife.com Hosted on Acast.
