How to Love Your Business Again

2/9/2021

0 Comments

 
We all start our businesses with love, either because we love what we do so much we want to do it all day every day, or just because we love helping people (or both). But running a small business can be overwhelming, and sometimes when you’re running around trying to do all your marketing, billing, networking, and serving your clients, all those tasks on your to-do list can overwhelm the reasons you started your business in the first place.
​

Since this is the season of love, I want to encourage you to take a moment and remember why you started your business, and hopefully learn to love it again. Here are some tips to help you do that:

Take Some Time Off

No matter how much you love someone, you don’t want to spend every second of every day with them. Maybe you feel that way in the beginning, but as time goes on and you get more comfortable with each other, chances are good you’ll both need your space.
The same goes for your businesses. When you first launch, you’re super excited and ready to work 24/7 on your business to make it a success. But then reality hits as you realize it’s just not sustainable to spend that much time working, and no matter how much you love your business, eventually you’re going to need some time away.​

So, take that time off and make that time all about you. Go for a walk. Do some yoga and/or meditating. Spend quality time with your family (not checking your phone). When you come back to your business refreshed, you’ll be more productive and might even have had a chance to come up with some new ideas by letting your brain work through problems in the background while you were focused on something else.

Get Help

As solopreneurs, we often have to do everything ourselves, especially when we’re just starting out. That’s a big reason we end up feeling so overwhelmed, not only because it leaves us with a to-do list that goes on for miles, but also because it means we end up spending time on things that aren’t our strong suit and/or we just don’t enjoy. 
Hiring someone to handle those tasks for you, not only means you get to spend more time doing what you love (which helps you love your business more), it can also be better for your business because it’s more likely to thrive when the tasks that need to be handled are done by the people best equipped to handle them. So, whether you find yourself putting off marketing or billing or any other aspect of your business, consider the possibility that it’s time to look for someone else to take those tasks off your hands.

One of the reasons I started my business was because, even though I loved the work I was doing, I didn’t love working for someone else, and I didn’t love how much of my time it took away from my family. So, I started my own business with the intention to work smarter, rather than harder, so I could spend more time with my family without sacrificing my income. What I love about my business is helping other entrepreneurs find that same freedom and find success in their business by focusing on what they love about it and focusing on those aspects of their business, so schedule a clarity call now if you’re ready to get started.

    Why Morsels? 

    Business advice,
    like chocolate chips,
    is best digested
    a handful of morsels at a time.  I think we'd all agree that devouring a lot of either all at once can be too much for the average person to handle..
