Sometimes I don’t know where I get mine from; but somehow I do. I find a way, daily, weekly. monthly
As a business owner myself I know what my clients go through.
Self-doubt and Fear (false expectations appearing real) are common, and I tell my clients that’s OK; in fact it’s common. Like a lot of things in life, these types of challenges are common, but its how we cope with them that sets us apart as to whether we win or lose.
Both of these two above are delusional and sometimes are where we choose to be. Ironically it’s easier to adopt these traits; it’s our comfort zone. Sometimes it’s just where we find ourselves.
The problem is it can overwhelm us.
That’s not to say it’s easy and I certainly I don’t want to underestimate the issues that any you may be facing. An old mentor of mine use to say “it’s darkest before dawn”
So what are some of the ways we might choose to adopt to help us get through; to breakthrough and move on positively.
Personal habits: at the risk of preaching here are a few:
- Be physically fit- it’s a massive energy boost
- Simply put, if you’re not fit you’re sabotaging yourself
- The power of habit is very powerful……sometimes we need to examine our habits and make new choices; a simple review asking these 4 questions can be helpful
- Stop doing
- Start doing
- Do more of
- Do less of
- Recognise what saps your energy and what energises you…..make a list and choose what you need to change
- Drink 5 litres of water a day….I struggle to do this but am working on it!!
- Surround yourself with positive people…..after all we become the average of the top 5 people we associate with.
- Invest your time…..don’t just spend it
- Get organised
Business habits
Get fit in your business
- Have clarity on your Business goals; goals that are TOWARDS goals (what you want) and not AWAY from goals (what you don’t want),,,,,,this is key for most of us; after all WHY we want a great business is for us to be able to do what we want in our personal life.
- Make sure the goals are followed through into strategies and ACTIONS; don’t leave the goals as loose aspirations or wish lists. Drive through.
- Be “white hot” about these, not just hot….
- Drive towards creating a “commercial profitable business that works without you having to be there”……give yourself the option of CHOICE, being free to choose
- Build a business that becomes an asset; something that you can sell
So, focus on these things and regain and maintain your ENERGY.
