Keeping A Clarity Inventory

As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day demands of running a business. It can be challenging to find time to step back and reflect on what’s most important to you and your business. That’s where a clarity inventory comes in. By regularly taking stock of your priorities, values, and goals, you can stay focused on what matters most and make better decisions for your business. By keeping a clarity inventory, you can ensure that you are staying true to your vision and making progress towards your long-term objectives.

You might like to come up with a list of Clarity Inventory Questions for yourself over time, but in the meantime, give the list below a try. You’ll notice some of the questions are very personal to you rather than about your business. This is because for small business entrepreneurs, business is personal. Your business comes from inside you first then gets transferred to the outside world.

Use The Clarity Inventory weekly if not daily. It will help you stay clear and focused and making good progress in your business.

Keep an inventory of your answers and this map of questions will give you much clarity and help you to create a good management plan for what’s new, what’s old, what needs to change, what has changed, what is in transition, what is part of your inner life and what is part of your outer life. Add to the list as you see fit.

Some entrepreneurs prefer to keep a journal where they can jot down their thoughts and reflections on a regular basis. Others prefer to use a spreadsheet or other organizational tool to keep track of their progress.
