Your Business is Not Optional

Today's podcast gets a little personal but I think it's such an important topic to discuss - our businesses are not optional, even when life throws a lot at us. Currently, we are working through some debilitating anxiety that my daughter is suffering with and I'm really in the trenches with trying to get her the help she needs. One of the things we did was hire a life coach for her because (as a coach myself) I know our thoughts create our feelings, our feeling generate our actions, and our actions create our results. So how does this relate to our business? We're in a place where we as women might be expecting more for our business but at the same time, we have other priorities (family, etc.) that need our attention - we're being pulled in a lot of directions and this can lead to us thinking we can't build our business or that we aren't meant for this. But every time I think about letting my business take the back burner, I feel frustrated and discouraged because that is not an option. Something I've adopted is the thought that my job is to live in breakthrough and figure out which actions I need to take to get me to the results I want. A key to doing this is to plan out your time on your calendar - personal time, work time, etc. and include the results you want when you sit down to work. Don't forget a backup plan because we all know, life will happen. When you create your own breakthrough you can help others do the same. Too often women in NWM are selling the gift of being able to work when you want and still make a great income but they aren't sharing what they do to overcome the obstacles when they arise. You might be walking through that obstacle right now so you can share with her how to overcome it when she goes through it. Remember, when life is throwing you a bunch of lemons, instead of using that as proof that you have to take a step back in your business, take those lemons and start juggling them because your business is not optional. I'd love to connect with you on Instagram @leannemeiser where I share other helpful tips!
