According to Wikipedia, "identity" is most commonly used to describe personal identity, or the distinctive qualities or traits that make an individual unique.
Identities are strongly associated with:
1. Self-concept
2. Self-image (one's mental model of oneself)
3. Self-esteem
4. Individuality.
Often times, as we are growing up as human beings, we tend to associate with things that make us feel competent and good about ourselves. We look outside of us and end up, being consciously or subconsciously, having an identity being influenced by our external environment, that is, our work, colleagues, friends, family members, teachers etc.
Though there is a place of healthy social relationships and environments, it is important to look within ourselves to find the true north of our unique identities.
As an entrepreneur, it is important to note that to have a healthy relationship with your work or business, it is important to have a healthy self concept. A healthy self concept includes having a:
1. Healthy self image.
2. Heathy body image.
3. An Ideal Self
4. Healthy Self Esteem.
Having a healthy self concept helps us increase and improve our self awareness which means having a:
1. Healthy relationship with self.
2. Healthy relationships with your others, including your employees and colleagues.
3. The first two often translate to- having a fruitful and successful business.
So our question is, if your business was hypothetically, stripped away from you, Who Are You?
The true answer of your real self lies in the answer to that question.
If you find that question impossible or hard to answer, we are happy to help you navigate your self concept for better self awareness, for a successful and balanced life and business. Even if you feel you are in the middle of a transition, we are happy to help you navigate the journey to a new self.
