In this blog, I introduce Showtime. Showtime is what you bring to every interaction with another person.
Bruce Springsteen was once asked how he created the biggest and best three hour shows every night. His answer was simple, yet elegant. He noted that while he had performed thousands of times, tonight for some people in the audience, this will be the only time they ever see him. Springsteen then confided that he plays each night for that person.
Finding your flow state might just be the Holy Grail for entrepreneurs.
A flow state can also be described as ‘in the zone’.
In flow, you are immersed in activity.
Your thoughts flow easily and have clarity of mind.
Your intense effortless focus is unbroken.
Time flies.
Flow is joyful and rewarding.
Yet it often seems impossible to access and fleeting.
We are all inspired to find our flow state.
Flow unlocks our core genius – our best work.
To understand how to access our flow state, it is worth considering the three stages of flow.
Content creation challenges us.
Regardless of background, most business owners struggle to consistently produce high quality content.
Blogs, videos and social media posts must be drafted.
Books, articles and white papers must be written.
Talks and presentations need to be crafted,
But we always have blocks to creating content.
We wait for the muse to visit, the inspiration to come.
The deadline is looming.
As we wait for inspiration.
Our desk fills up with empty coffee cups.
The page is blank in front of us.
The cursor blinks on the laptop screen.
And then…. Nothing.
