The Joy Of Business Ownership
Rediscovering the Joy of Business Ownership
As a coach and mentor to business owners, I spend a lot of time talking about creating unforgettable experiences for clients. After all, a thriving business is built not just on products or services, but on the experience people have with your brand. But what we sometimes overlook is the importance of our own experience as business owners.
Let’s face it, some days feel tough.
There are mornings when dragging yourself into work feels like gearing up for battle. You feel tied to your business, like it’s a relentless force you can’t quite tame. I recently spoke with a prospect who described their business as a “monster” they had to wrestle with daily. They knew they had to find a way to manage it, to live with it, but every day felt like a struggle. That’s a reality many business owners live with, and it’s not often talked about.
But then, there are days when it all clicks. The stress melts away, the wins feel deeply satisfying, and you’re reminded of exactly why you started this journey in the first place.
This morning was one of those days for me.
I received a handwritten thank-you card from a relatively new client. They’ve only been working with me for about three months, but their message struck a chord. In a few simple words, they expressed gratitude that went far beyond the typical “thank you.” It was a reminder of the deeper impact we can have on people’s lives, helping them bring their dreams and vision to life. It reminded me that what I do matters. It’s not just about strategy or revenue; it’s about restoring joy, freedom, and balance to business ownership.
When business is going well, when you’re making progress, seeing success, and feeling less stress, it becomes fun. Not just the kind of fun that comes from a good day, but the kind of fun that makes you feel light, energized, and deeply fulfilled. That’s the real reward.
So, if you’re a business owner feeling stuck in the grind, know this: those joyful moments are possible. They’re worth striving for. And they’re often closer than you think.
Business ownership doesn’t have to feel heavy. If you’ve lost the spark or feel weighed down by the daily grind, let’s change that. Join our next Business Club session and reconnect with the joy of why you started. Email me today for the link – you deserve to enjoy your business again.
