Building a Business is Similar to Dieting for a Competition

Some days you are on top of the world and others you wonder if anything you are doing is right.

 

You need rest days or you burn out... And may cause injury. Sometimes you just need a MF deloading week.

 

You will laugh and cry in the same day.

 

More work doesn't necessarily mean better results.

 

There are the cool kids and cool teams to be on, even if you don't do the program from the cool team because it actually isn't for you but you just want to fit in.

 

I could go on!

 

OK, obviously this is tongue in cheek but I also have to laugh because it is so true.

 

When I first started in online business in the summer of 2018 I had multiple goals, which still ring true today:

 

Help at least 1 person a day.

 

Have massive impact and income.

 

Create a multiple 7 figure business to be a me to create financial freedom for my family and also so we could afford to build a massive equestrian centre & farmed animal sanctuary.

 

Always show up from my heart & soul to help others do the same.

 

To spend more time with my family and fur babes.

 

I feel so blessed to have grown this business, and my community, as quick as I have literally JUST being me. MY own particular brand of crazy, as I say to my clients. And ONLY me. I don't have staff.

 

Looking back I don't think the massive growth had ANYTHING to do with switching from fitness to Human Design. The reality is I got over myself, and my fears, because I had no damn choice. I was jobless.

 

It was now or never.

 

At the end of June I burned out.

 

I realized I had LESS balance than I did in corporate.

 

I still had my same excuse for when we went to the cottage "I have to work".

 

I didn't see my horses any more than before.

 

And my health was WORSE OFF than I was in corporate. Sure, I was less stressed but I now decided I didn't have time to workout. So my back got worse.

 

 

Somewhere along the way I lost sight of freedom, time with family and something as simple as scheduling pee breaks!

 

I became really good at creating boundaries in my schedule just to break them when people pushed about availability or wait times for foundation calls.

 

I became really good at immediately answering Voxer messages, random messages and everything in between (Spoiler alert: YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED to return anyone's message right away. Even if they DM you. Tony Robbins has a 72 hour turn around time. Be like Tony.)

 

 

And I do feel there is a lot of pressure on newer coaches trying to build. So I am sure someone will have an ah ha moment from this post, which is why I am writing it.

 

There is pressure to not disappoint clients and a real fear of letting people down. I mean we didn't get in this field to be ass holes, after all. So we pour a bit too much of us into it at times.

 

There is pressure to not reschedule calls (I dropped this pressure quickly when a high level coach I was working with DM'd me to push the call back an hour because her live was going long! Haha! It was such a wake up call for me that life happens!!!).

 

You don't want to leave that message on read without replying right away out of someone being pissed (And truth be told I HAVE HAD people pissed at me if I open a message between calls then had to respond later).

 

And you are inundated with so much pressure on how exactly to build a business online that you fear putting the phone down for a day.

 

 

I got caught up in growth, expansion and increasing my impact and forgot all the other reasons why I started.

 

I got caught up in helping others and forgot to help myself.

 

The reality is:

 

YOU COME FIRST.

 

It is so cliché but you cannot pour from an empty cup.

 

You love your business so you went balls to the wall. I get it. I am the same way.

 

But take a step back and have a hard chat with yourself.

 

Write out the TOP 6 AREAS to your life and be HONEST about where you are and where you want to be.

 

For example for me one of those was fitness. A key core area of my being and life. And I had let it tank. So I changed my identity, beliefs and behaviours to match where I wanted to be with fitness.

 

What are your core 6 areas? Maybe relationships, spirituality, fitness (I feel fitness is a non fucking negotiable for anyone that isn't dead), business, a hobby and self development.

 

Give yourself an honest to MF God rating. Then what do you have to do to change it?

 

The more you respect you and your time the more you magnetize those soul aligned clients that GET. IT.

 

You deserve to spend time with your family. To go on vaca without having to record every MF step you make for the socials.

 

YOU DESERVE TO NOT LIVE IN YOUR INBOX.

 

When you create an online business you don't sign over your soul. You are able to embody more of it.

 

So where do the adjustments need to happen?

 

As I reorganise the business the ONLY way to work with me right now is my monthly membership (HD) Quantum Manifestation for online Coaches!!!
