Over the weekend I worked on my garden and planted containers on my deck. I pulled up weeds, pruned dead plants and planted new flowers to bloom.
My physical garden is a metaphor for your business garden or other area of your life.
Pick an area on which you want to focus. Ask and answer these questions:
- What is the season in this garden?
- What needs to be pruned or eliminated?
- What do the weeds look like?
- What are they overtaking?
- What kinds of animals may be digging up your plants or running around in the garden?
- What areas do you want to grow?
- What kinds of fertilizer and how much water do they need?
You do not have to have a green thumb to grow a beautiful garden. You just need to be willing to spend some time imagining, pruning, planting and nurturing. When you do, you can create what you desire.
