You deserve a life and business that

 honors your deepest held values.100%

Page 2: Day 4: Claim Your Core Values - Wendy Collier …...feelings and behavior even when we are not aware of it. It is incredibly important to understand what values drive and fulfill you

If you are currently in a job or running a business that isn’t honoring your CORE values, this will highlight why you may feel unhappy and most importantly - empower you to make a different (more aligned) choice when selecting a new gig or changing the way you are currently running your life and business.  You want to be sure your next steps are planned with your core values at the center of your decision-making. All too often values are not considered when people select a job or create a business, which is why so many folks find themselves unhappy down the road. We want to make sure that never happens to you again, right?! Right! While many of the values listed below are appealing and/or viewed with high regard in our culture, be very honest with yourself about which ones are important to you.  When your TOP values are being compromised, you will argue, quit a job, or leave a relationship. They are VERY important to you and you may not even know what they are. That changes today!  The goal of this playbook is to identify the values that are most important and significant to you. They can be difficult to choose but think of it this way, if you could only live-out 5 of these values and none others - what would they be? There are 32 values listed; however, feel free to add to the list if something you value is missing, or adjust the definition of a value to fit your interpretation.

HERE IS YOUR ASSIGNMENT

Identify 10 values off the list that immediately jump out at you. These top 10 make your heart sing, and your spirit light up! Review the lists on the previous pages then write your top 10 here below in no particular order.

Step 1:______________________ ______________________ ______________________ ______________________ ______________________

______________________ ______________________ ______________________ ______________________ ______________________

Of your list of 10, reduce your list to the five you simply cannot live without. I know this can be tough but give it your best shot. These are values you NEED to express and live. They are absolute musts to you. Write them here below in no particular order.

Step 2:______________________ ______________________ ______________________ ______________________ ______________________

Of your list of five, rate each value on a scale of 1-10 in the boxes provided on the previous page  based on how well you feel you are living that value today, with 10 being optimal. Then, set a new goal for the top five values that are currently at less than 10 using the space provided below. Begin to look at what needs to change to reach a state of 10 in all of your top five.

Step 3:

Now is your opportunity to begin keeping your core values at the center of your decision- making. It is extremely important they are honored in your business vision and are shared with the colleagues or teammates you are (or will be) most intertwined with. For example, if freedom is in your top 5 but your business model or job doesn’t allow for freedom, you need to create a new model or career that includes different strategies to support your value of freedom.  Using your core values as a filter for making decisions in your life’s work will support your desire to stay centered and in alignment with the areas of life that matter MOST to you.
