Yesterday I wrote about the power and importance of knowing your purpose: in life and in business. Today I want to address an exercise you can do to help hone your business purpose. It’s quite simple really.
Identifying Your Client
Once you’ve identified your business’ purpose, you should clearly identify your client. This may seem like a no-brainer to you. But I bet many of you haven’t really done this. Where you’ve written down specifically who it is you’re targeting to see how it connects to your business purpose. The best way to illustrate this is to share with you what we’ve done for Dare Dreamer Media. Use this as a model for your business.

Who Are You?
