You won’t hear so many bells and whistles about Business Journaling mainly because: Yes, it is hard to build and to keep a habit.
Yes, sometimes it may even feel hard to learn from your very own reflections.
Outcomes of deliberate reflection aren’t immediately visible.
Furthermore, most workplaces are still optimised for extraversion. They (sadly) still often reward quick, loud movers over deliberate reflection and intentional action.
It is NO secret that work in itself is often straining enough for most humans nowadays.
The good news is though: Business Journaling serves as your private, always-available coach and sparring companion.
Your Business Journaling practice is:
7. a private training ground
8. a habit-kickstarter
9. and a self-efficacy booster
And the results of YOUR inner work will pay-off!

Respect your past path…
… and adapt your next future steps.
Make that next appointment to reflect, respect & adapt right now! You need to do it regularly.
If it feels hard, be compassionate AND clear. With that you help yourself to succeed.
