Do You Have the “Right” Expectations for Your Business?

You love actually doing events, but lately you are feeling less passionate and excited about actually running your business. Does that sound familiar? This is very normal and does not mean that you are not cut out for doing events. Your passion for events has not wavered, however, taking care of the business side is new and can be very stressful. In today’s episode, host May Yeo Silvers shares her own experience of burnout for running a business and how to keep things running when you don’t feel like doing it.   Consistency is extremely important when you are running a business, especially in the beginning when you are still making a name for yourself. You do not always have to be running everything at 1000%. In fact, you’re likely to burn out if you try to do that. Instead, if you feel your passion waning, allow yourself some grace to take a step back and only do the bare minimum of keeping your business running.    Not everyone enjoys running a business. You got into event planning, because you love actually doing events. Not necessarily because you love all the administrative tasks that go into keeping a business running profitably. To get back the passion for your ‘why’, take a step back whenever you need to instead of pushing yourself and risking burnout.    Quotes • “The why is still there, but the passion for running the business is simmering.” (7:09-7:15 | May) • “You are cut out to do events. Never ever forget that.” (7:42-7:46 | May)  • “If you don't have the passion to build the business, at least tolerate it and keep it at simmer.” (13:24-13:30 | May) • “Give yourself some grace, that it’s okay to step away. It’s okay to step away and not do anything about the business when you don’t feel like it.” (13:37-13:48 | May)   Links Connect with me at: [email protected] Website: events4anyone.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/mayyeosilvers Facebook: www.facebook.com/mayyeosilvers IG: www.instagram.com/mayyeosilvers TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mayyeosilvers  FB private group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/events4anyone   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
