Business Owners Acknowledge Your Greatness

Written on May 10th, 2010 by Helen Burton4 comments

Last month I celebrated my birthday.  As the day was approaching this sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach got stronger.  I started thinking what did I accomplish this past year?  Of course my inner dialogue shouted, “NOTHING!!”

After struggling with this negative thought process for a few days, I decide to call a friend.  To my good fortune she picked up the phone.  After relaying my story, she started to laugh and asked who I was talking about.  The Helen she knew was a beautiful giving person and successful business owner.

As we continued speaking, I started coming out of my funk, admitted the great things I accomplished and the amazing life changes my clients achieved.

Sometimes all we need is a good friend who listens and is supportive.  Eventually we will put our Gremlins to sleep and bask in our greatness.

When you are having one of those days feeling your business will never flourish.  Pick up the phone and call a caring friend or leave a comment on the Love Yourself – It Matters! Blog.

My commitment is that I will get back to you and support you in finding your true greatness.

Enjoy your greatness!

Helen

P.S. I had a beautiful birthday.

Get Enthusiastic About Your Business!

“We act as though comfort and luxury
were the chief requirements of life,
when all we need to make us really happy
is something to be enthusiastic about.”
Charles Kingsley (English writer and clergy)

Do you ever stop and think about how lucky you are to be a business owner?  Depending on your experiences you can either feel lucky or wish you were working for someone else.

Welcome to the world of the business owner!

It is time to embrace our enthusiasm!

Following is an exercise which will awaken your passion or provide other realizations:

1. List your motives for owning a business.
2. Document the drawbacks.
3. Highlight the thoughts that ring true for you.
4. Evaluate both lists.
5. Determine your next step.

How are your feeling?

When you feel enthusiastic, your creative juices start flowing and there is no stopping.

If after completing the exercise you want to explore different options, go right ahead, this might be the eye opening realization you needed.

Remember…there is no right or wrong just opportunities.

Please share your insights with the Love Yourself – It Matters! Community. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
