Identify Your Values

a foundational exercise of Being Boss

---

Values are the foundation of Being Boss. They are the guiding principles that direct you through life (and work), helping you make decisions, prioritize what's important to you, create healthy boundaries, and build a business and a life on your own terms. Oh yes - values are truly that powerful.

WHAT ARE CORE VALUES

Core values are the personal truths and principles you hold most near and dear. What you value motivates the "why" behind the decisions you make and the actions you take.

But in order to reach that place of confidence in work and life, you have to do the work to discover which personal values and business values are the right match for you.

Because once you identify, understand, and practice your values, you become more at home with who you are. And your business has a more clear focus, too.

THE BENEFITS OF KNOWING YOUR CORE VALUES

Values Communicate Your Beliefs

When you define core values, it becomes easier to give people an idea of what you and your work stands for. It will give clarity to your messaging and positioning. Once you determine your values, building connections and relationships on shared principles and beliefs well happen naturally.

Values Attract Your Dream Community and Customers

The community and customers you desire likely share. your values or at the very least appreciate them. It is natural to want to connect and work with those that have aligned lifestyles and beliefs. When it comes to the products or services you offer, your offer may be similar to your competitor. But your values are what will set you apart and are a great way to build trust with others.

Core Values Help In Decision Making

As a boss, you have many decisions to make every day. When you define your core values, you will find clarity when it comes to making tough choices. You can spend less time contemplating opportunities or issues as they arise because you will be making decisions through the lens of your predetermined values. If you have a team, sharing your personal values and the company values will allow them to make choices based on your vision without your support in the moment.
