When we first started Bentley Lewis, we all thought we understood who we were and why we were here. Read any “how to” book on starting a business and the words, values and mission are as common as chocolate in a candy shop. When there are only a handful of you, staying on the same page is simple.

But as you grow, you add more layers of complexity, while continually working out how to interact effectively with the world. While so many things are coming at you, I’ve found that the most important activity to do to stay on track, is to make sure to be my authentic self. As you start to explore who you are by peeling back the layers, you discover more complexity and a core that hasn’t been exposed to the outside world.

There are several ways to uncover your blind spots and learn more about yourself. The best by far, is receiving feedback from others.

Thanks for all the comments so far, please keep them coming.
