Business Owners Can Feel Their Feelings

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill.
…When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must – but don’t quit.

How many times have we heard that we have to change this or that about our thinking.  It is easier said than done.

Let’s get real here!

I heard the comment recently, “We are a society of thinking we have to think positively all the time.”  This really struck me as crazy.  We are human beings and life happens.  We have reactions and sometimes they are not positive.

I have come up with a new way of thinking to let my feelings flow and if I need to cry it is permissible.  It is amazing giving myself permission the feelings change and I feel better.

Recently, I had a hard time being creative.  My days were spent responding to emails.  I was taking to a friend and during the conversation it dawned on her that I was feeling very sad and had no energy to be creative.

Once I realized why the creative juices were not flowing a miracle happened and I started to experience my energy returning.

Moral of story if you feel your feelings we move forward quicker.

Please share your experiences with the Love Yourself – It Matters Community so we do not feel alone on our journeys.

Successful Business Strategies for Coaches

“A dream is in the mind of the believer,
and in the hands of the doer.
You are not given a dream,
without being given the power
to make it come true.”

We all have a dream our business will take off as soon as we make the decision to become business owners. What happened??

Sometimes thinking if only I knew what a long road it took to become a successful business owner would I have taken that leap. The answer is a loud, “YES.”

I had a dream and driving force in me to make it happen. To be honest I sometimes struggled and wanted to give up. Then within a very short period of time my thinking changed and I was back on the road marketing the Love Yourself programs.

We are at the end of 2009 and looking forward to 2010. Before we turn the page let’s think about all the great strides we made this year.

Below is a little exercise that will help you uncover the strides you made and new techniques to implement.
• List all the new marketing techniques you implemented in 2009. Example: When first meeting someone I ask about them instead of telling them I am a coach. It is amazing during the conversation they always ask, “What type of business do you have?” At that point I simply mention I am a business coach and have them ask me questions.
• Review the list of techniques deciding what worked and you need to change. Example: I was working with the Unemployed and found it was not a profitable income stream. Made a decision not to focus on the Unemployed Niche.
• Brainstorm and list new ideas. Example: This year I will offer to write an article for a gym or Spa’s Newsletter.
• Create a marketing plan including new and old techniques with accountable dates.
• Become active in the Love Yourself – It Matters Community by leaving comments and asking questions.

Be creative this is your pilot program and it will give you the opportunity to be more pro-active in your business. Working together we can support each other in growing successful businesses.

Remember…Rome was not built in a day and by taking small steps your dream will come true.

Enjoy the holiday season and continue creating happy memories.
