You Are Your Business

We’re more than halfway through #30daystorise – a 30-Day opportunity for you to actually walk your talk, rise up and claim the life and business you say you want.

Less than two weeks until doors close on my new program, Game-Changer, where you learn to build a bulletproof mindset, and stake your claim in your industry.

The truth is you do know how, you are an expert and your bullshit fear is holding you back.

Today, we’re talking about procrastination – and how to do it the right way.

Tool #7: Procrastinate (the right way)

Women are rockstars at nurturing others. The majority actually get off on taking care of their loved ones. We like being needed – and for the most part, we have no problem ignoring our own needs in favor of someone else’s.

I’m NOT saying all women are built this way. But 99% of the women I have served in the last 11 years operate from that place.

We can talk about the cultural catastrophe that created that later.

Today, I want you to notice something important: In general, we have no problem ignoring our own needs in favor of someone else’s.

This is a two-fold issue for the woman entrepreneur.

1 – You are your business. So if you’re not well-rested, well-fed and feeling good, you aren’t at full power. Meaning, you aren’t serving your clients at your best and you’re definitely not showing up at your best. (Hello, visibility.)

2 – I repeat: You are your business. So if you are neglecting yourself, you are automatically neglecting your business. You’re not putting out your best content or being your best as a coach. You’re being as mindful of your finances, staff, social media presence, and a million other little things that slip through the cracks when we’re tired and cranky.

Ergo, if you’re serious about dominating your industry, you have to learn to say no.

Let me be extraordinarily clear: I am NOT advocating you don’t feed your kids. They put people in jail for that shit.

But you can certainly say no to some things. I used to hang a sign on my office door: “Mom is busy. Do not knock unless it’s an emergency.”And you can say no to parties, TV, mindless scrolling on social media, and even dinner out with a spouse when you know you have a deadline looming.

I don’t regret missing a TV series or a spontaneous night out with friends. But I DO regret the times I could have worked a little bit harder, spent a little more time bettering myself – choosing to put me and my goals first.

Say no to the things that don’t matter. Procrastinate THOSE things. Invest fully in yourself now. Because you will regret not having the results if you don’t.

How to know if you have this tool:

  • What did you do this week that won’t matter in several years (or even next week)?
  • How often do you say no to things that don’t matter?
  • How often do you put off working on your business because someone else “needs” you?

How to implement this tool:

  • Make a list of all the activities you participate in that aren’t going anywhere. (Movies, parties, dishes, things someone else can handle for you.)
  • Next write a list of things that you know must take priority NOW – and look at it often.
  • Every day, question what you’re doing. Which list is it on? You don’t want to be looking back, regretting what you could have done.

You have 14 days until Game-Changer closes. Make sure you invest in yourself, stretch, grow, learn and become a better version of you. Don’t try to do it alone.

I’ll walk you through building a bulletproof success mindset, step by step. It’s about having a plan and a system to guide you. It’s about breaking down old patterns, holding yourself accountable and consistently choosing to rise.

Let’s make it happen.

Study Failure

Today, we continue on the journey of self-mastery. It’s time for tool #5 in my arsenal for developing a bulletproof success mindset.

This month-long experience – dubbed #30daystorise – was created to arm you with the knowledge and skills necessary to become the industry leader and dominant force you say you want to be as a woman entrepreneur.

Tool #5: Study failure

“Instead of looking for success, make a list of how to fail instead – through sloth, envy,
resentment, self-pity, entitlement, all the mental habits of self-defeat. Avoid these 
qualities and you will succeed.” – Charlie Munger

The point?

Any idiot can see what’s not working and where to improve.

Precious few have the ability to be honest about how they self-sabotage, act like victims or participate in their own failure.

And frankly, how many people online today are shouting from the rooftops that they have the “right” thing to get you to the next level?

Stop looking outside of you for the answer.

Instead, take a hard look at all the things we shouldn’t do. Let’s pay attention to where we’ve gone off track in the past. How have we screwed up?

Study your failures, dig up the reasons for the failures, and commit to not making those mistakes again.

Then study the failures of others in your industry.

Eliminate those mistakes and you’ll be surprised at how much focus and clarity you gain. (Which leads to motivation, momentum and success.)

How to know if you are using this tool:

  • What are the mistakes people in your industry make that prevent them from getting the goal?
  • How many of those mistakes do you frequently commit?
  • Where do you sabotage yourself?
  • Why do you keep repeating these mistakes/self-sabotage mechanisms?
  • What do you need to do now?

How to implement this tool:

  • Make a list of the most deadly mistakes.
  • Avoid them at all costs.

If fear, self-doubt and self-judgement are not on your list of mistakes, go back to the drawing board. Those three literally ARE deadly. They decapitate motivation, make you feel like crap, convince you that you cannot do it and prevent you from moving forward.
