✨Multipassionate Entreleader Series – 5 Steps to go from Clutter to Clarity✨
Last week, we started a new series that is primarily focused on being a multipassionate entrepreneur and how to not lose balance in the process.
You CAN be a successful MPE (multipassionate entrepreneur) and manage multiple brands and businesses, but you must have organization/management skills.
What is a multipassionate entrepreneur?
This was a term that was coined by Marie Forleo in the early 2000’s.
Brain Dumping 101
Dump all ideas out of your mind
Step 1 – Write them down – something changes within us when we write down our thoughts.
- It doesn’t have to be in bullet points, if you want it to be, that’s fine.
- Organization comes later, okay, first, it’s just getting everything out of my mind
Step 2 – after you dump everything out, step back and take a look at the organized clutter
- What dominant themes do I see?
- What can be grouped together?
- What ideas are repetitious?
- What ideas can be improved?
Step 3 – Begin the process of elimination
- What can be eliminated?
- What is not unique enough?
- What will take more time than allotted?
- Eliminate it or save for a later time AFTER YOU’VE MASTERED the current action plan you’re building.
- Work with the ideas that will create a win now.
Step 4 – Identify/categorize various themes
- This can be grouped with this idea
- Here’s a cluster of ideas that form a theme
- What are major ideas or topics that stand on their own?
- What are minor ideas or topics that can classify as sub-topics under another theme?
Once you have your themes and clusters put together, you should see something that looks like a beautifully organized sequence that you created. The importance of sequencing is that you create this step-by-step organized clarification process for the cluttered ideas that you already have.
Once there’s a bit of structure, now we can move on to step 5 which is organizing the clutter on a greater level.
Organizing the clutter
Step 5 – Now, we’re going through the second round of elimination and you can do as many rounds of elimination that you deem necessary.
- What should come first? What should I do first? Because the thing that I should do first is the thing that I need to do first.
- What can come after that? Start putting everything in order.
- You will notice that you have this beautiful sequence
- Take a look at the bigger idea and see which ideas can be consolidated into smaller groups that have similar themes
- Are there smaller ideas that can support the main idea or function of a more significant idea?
- Be honest with yourself.
- Not every idea will be significant.
- Some things you will just need to let go of for the time being.
- Are there smaller ideas that can support the main idea or function of a more significant idea?
This is how we are taking just a simple brainstorming session and turning it into a comprehensive strategic plan for implementation. Please remember that you must be honest with yourself – and this process also requires authenticity.
You can’t master what you can’t manage.
