7 lessons we can learn from Francis, from the film Under the Tuscan Sun
Under the Tuscan sun is a film shot in Italy that portrays the Francis' fresh start, an American woman who moved to another country after a traumatic divorce. But What can we learn from the film in this pandemic?
The script is light and the film is beautiful. The photography is beautiful, the messages are intelligent, the quotes and scenes from Italian culture increase and reinforce our cultural background. It's a hymn to Italy's rich and tasty table and delicious Italian gelato.
But the film presents several lessons that we can learn and use in our lives.
1. Keep an eye out for opportunities
Francis had a stable and apparently happy life, until she discovered her husband's infidelity. After a period of depression, she agreed to go on a tour in Italy.
Unplanned changes can happen over time in our lives, jobs or businesses.
The whole world is experiencing a surreal situation. A pandemic that is taking thousands of people to rock bottom, to death, devastating the economy and bankrupting many companies.
On the other hand, it is the opportunity to reinvent yourself, think about new ways of working, and win new clients. Search for the new.
2. Question the journey
Francis traveled to Italy, bought an old house and decided to live there. As time passed, she found herself alone, scared and regretting having made this decision.
Everything in our lives has a process, and there is no magic wand.
Making decisions is always a difficult, often lonely task, and you don't sow today and reap tomorrow.
But enthusiasm can never be lost.
3. Be visionary
In one of the conversations with his real estate agent, Francis reported how stupid he felt for having bought such a big house, when he lived alone. The very wise broker said that they laid the tracks between two cities in the Alps, without there being a train.
Maybe you are waiting for your profile to have thousands of people so that your business starts to be seen.
Start working today with the same commitment and vision as a large company.
Lay the tracks before the train.
4. Tidy up your house
Francis wanted to renovate his house, but he always lost focus with romances, until the day a friend advised him to focus on renovating his house.
When you have many goals or many distractions you will hardly be able to complete a project, a desire.
Put your goal on paper, structure it and work hard on it daily.
5. Focus on your results
At the height of his sadness in Italy, Francis received another piece of advice: “Don’t chase ladybugs.”
Change your focus!
Work strategically, offer the best you can, the best product, the best service, so that people can share it with dozens of customers.
The ladybugs (customers) will come to you!
7. Reinvent yourself
Francis had a lot of difficulty recognizing that a cycle in his life had ended.
You wake up every day not knowing what will happen. How much will it sell? How many services will close? It's a daily exercise in creativity.
Customers are increasingly looking for unique products and services.
Recognize when it is necessary to change and always change.
