Nicole,
Erin and I are consultants, educators and facilitators of strategy development. A tool that I have shared with Matthew during our previous coaching sessions is the concept of a daisy flower. Draw a cirle for the centre of the flower and then draw some petals on the flower. Consider your strength in the middle and the petals are the business components. You could do this for each of your ideas and think of it as mind mapping.
You want the petals to connect. For my business, the centre is ‘business development’ and the components of my business are – entrepreneur training, business coaching, strategic planning for business (and nonprofits), etc.
This simple tool allows me to keep focused and to visualize the different segments of my business.
Matthew, can you share how you use the daisy?
