20 || The Benefits of Keeping a Commonplace Journal For Your Business

The Selah Entrepreneur - Simple & Sustainable Online Business for Women Over 50

Welcome to another episode of The Selah Entrepreneur podcast. I'm your host, Marta Goertzen, and I'm excited to dive into a topic that I'm truly passionate about - the benefits of keeping a Commonplace Journal for your business.

Now, before you start picturing a dear diary kind of journal, let me assure you that this is a whole different ballgame. We're not talking about pouring out in a “Dear Diary” type of journaling practice. This is about creating a tangible space to capture the valuable ideas, insights, and reflections that come our way in our entrepreneurial journey.

For years, I've been an avid collector of quotes, filling countless notebooks and digital folders with the wisdom I've stumbled upon. But my favorite method by far is using a Commonplace Journal, also known as a “Thinker's Notebook”. It's a centralized place where I can record all the interesting ideas, quotes, and resources that cross my path, as well as reflect on them and delve deeper into their meaning and application.

I know many of us entrepreneurs are collectors of ideas and resources. We attend courses, download e-books, and gather inspiration from various sources. However, without a structured way to engage with this information, it often gets lost or forgotten. That's where a Commonplace Journal comes in. It allows us to pause, review, evaluate, and truly absorb the knowledge we acquire. It also helps us identify patterns, connect different ideas, and find new insights that we might have otherwise missed.

In this episode, we'll explore how a Commonplace Journal can be a valuable tool in our entrepreneurial and clarity journeys. We'll discuss how it can help us organize our thoughts, preserve important information, and spark creative connections. So, whether you're a notebook lover like me or simply seeking a more intentional way to engage with the information overload, this episode is for you.

So grab your favorite notebook and a pen, and join me as we dive into the world of Commonplace Journaling for business.

If you're tired of endlessly searching for the answers and ready to take control of your entrepreneurial path, you're in the right place. Together, we'll uncover the truth behind the noise, find joy in serving others, and create a business that brings fulfillment and success. So let's dive in and start this transformative journey together. Welcome to The Selah Entrepreneur podcast!
