Fall in Love With Your Business – All Over Again

Is your business at a standstill? Sometimes, in business, we lose ourselves to the hum during our working day. It can be hard to get excited when the joy of operating your business is turned into just another day at the office. Whether your numbers are up or down, your business is going through growing pains or feeling the sting of an economy that still hasn’t bounced back, it’s important to hold on to the things that influenced your career choice. Why do you do what you do?

“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.”

– Charles Darwin

Try to keep the romance alive

When working on your own, the relationship with work is usually described as rocky. We come across so many ups and downs each day that it can be emotionally draining. However, to become successful also means to be fulfilled in the work we do. So, like any relationship, it is important to keep the romance going. Do you remember how it felt the first time you made that paycheck for doing something you’re passionate about? Or what about the butterflies you felt when approaching your first clients?

Seeing how far you’ve come can be a remarkable feeling. Some things have become easier, more fluid while others still seem to trip you up. Maybe you’re still having a hard time with picking up the phone or paying company bills at the end of the month still makes you queasy. Focusing on the positive aspects in your life can be a major step towards getting yourself out of a rut.

Choose an attitude of gratitude

How grateful are you for the work you do? Whether you own your own business or work for someone else, all too often we can forget to be thankful for what and who we have around us. Even when I’m not in the most “giving” mood, I try to say thank you to the people around me who work to make my life easier. I have come to find that the more I say “thank you,” the more I mean it. Those people who receive a thank you are likely to pay it forward to their co-workers and the other people in their lives who may need a pat on the back.

I encourage you to try this simple exercise. When you wake up in the morning, do it with a mindset that says, “Today, I will be grateful.” Believe it or not, this is a choice that you can make. Only you can dictate how you spend your day. And why would you want to waste it feeling unsatisfied and frustrated? Poor use of energy, right?

Believe in yourself

Life can get a bit crazy sometimes and all too often, as solopreneurs we let life affect us in good and bad ways. Make sure your heart is anchored to the right things – the only way to survive anything that life throws at you.

What matters most to you?
Who matters most to you?

Keep these things and people in mind. They will be the ones to pull you back and keep you grounded.

To your success!
