The most high value activity you're missing in your biz RN...(and 3 steps to change it)
I believe the greatest threat to your business is not the action you're not taking - it's concentrated time for uninterrupted THINKING.
The demands on women, by and large, outweigh our male counterparts when it comes to raising children, holding down the home & creating an environment that supports a family’s holistic growth & development.
To then pile on the brain space demands and creativity that are required to build a scalable business ON TOP of the mental load we are already carrying can be impossible.
I know because I’m walking this same walk and I have been coaching & support women of ALL ages, demographics and backgrounds every, single day for 9+ years.
Here’s the truth:
We can’t change the mental load by complaining about it.
But we can become more efficient, more focused & more supported while STILL designing our lives to be deeply fulfilling & spending time on what means the most to us.
And our business results and income are dependent on our ability to think strategically and freely about the moves we're making.
Here are 3 tips to implement right away to create more space for the real revenue-generating work:
1. Champion your WINDOWS: Block scheduling for the win...When do you have windows in your days? When do you have concentrated blocks of time (even smaller ones) to carve out for yourself? Syncing these up with family schedules and prioritizing your blocks is a game changer.
Pre-plan how you will use that window - hint: what’s of highest value on the given day? laundry folding or sitting down to map your offer, finish that training that will help you in your biz ASAP.
PS - sometimes it IS laundry >> & listening to the training while jotting down notes.
2. MAXIMIZE your uninterrupted time: The GOLD is in these pockets. The ability to focus and accomplish something powerful in a short burst. How do you set yourself up for this starting now?
Make a plan.
Set a timer.
Challenge yourself to accomplish what you set out to do.
Grab some blank pages and dream.
You will surprise yourself at what you can accomplish.
3. STOP the self-judgment: If a player makes a mistake in the 20th minute of the game but then scores the game winning goal - guess what everyone is going to be talking about?
This is the season you’re in - it’s a mess most days - it’s not perfect - well, ever! But it will be what you look back on & the stories you tell later…
BONUS: CAPITALIZE on your superpowers as the CEO of your Home/Fam.
You are engineering the most unforgettable experience for your people.
You are the chief visionary: Use this superpower to apply to the focus time you need in your biz & center thinking windows!
I promise you, this subtle shift will make ALL the difference in your business brain and in your peace of mind.
