The power of taking a pause in your pet business

When you're running a business, it often feels like there's never a moment to catch your breath, with a constant stream of tasks demanding your attention.This week's podcast looks into the significance of occasionally hitting the pause button. This allows you to assess what's working, take stock, and give yourself a moment to breathe!I'll be discussing how the concept of 'pause' functions in coaching, whether you're in the role of a coach or a coachee (client). Remember that any form of educating your clients is a type of coaching.Plus, we'll look at the value of taking a break from your content creation process, especially if you regularly produce long-form content like blogs, vlogs, or podcasts.This can be quite demanding, and taking breaks provides the opportunity to analyze what resonates with your audience or community. Understanding what they find most valuable means you can produce more of the content they enjoy.I'm also sharing the power of a 'mini-pause'. When you're feeling overwhelmed and frazzled, even stepping outside for a mere 15 minutes can do wonders.Topics and timings in this episode: 0.20 - Introduction to this episode 1.10 - Why the podcast is taking a break.1.50 - The power of the pause in business and coaching. 3.10 - What a pause gives you as a coach.3.55 - What the pause gives to your client or coachee.8.20 - The power of pause in your content and why it’s ok to take a break.9.10 - How long it takes to create and promote this podcast.10.40 - Don't feel guilty for stepping off the content treadmill, particularly if you create long form content like a blog, podcast or video.12.54 - Why I’m pausing to improve what I offer.16.10 - Advice on pitching to podcasts and making it about them not you.17.14 - Recap over the guests from this season.23.12 - How I choose guests for this podcasts.24.20 - Taking a mini-pause when you’re feeling stuck.26.17 - How the beta and alpha waves work in your brain.28.07 - What to do if you would like to work together - head to my work with me page here.Links mentioned in this episode:The power of building relationships with Kerry JordanStep away from the computer and meet your community with Hayley BonwickWhat happens outside your comfort zone with Sarah JonesGrowing your pet business with networking with Hayley HiltonCreating a pet business that makes you happy with Jane ArdernHow the Trust Equation works for your pet businessNavigating controversy as a small business ownerThe rollercoaster of being your own boss Join Pets Get Visible: https://publicityforpetbusinesses.mykajabi.com/pets-get-visibleCheck out my pet blog and directory at www.thepawpost.co.ukLet's connect on social media: Join my Free Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/publicitytipsforpetbusinessesFind me on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/rachelspencerukOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelspencerukAnd LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachelspenceruk/
