For many entrepreneurs these days, running your own business can feel like walking a tightrope. How do you master doing it all? What risks do you take? How do you avoid becoming overwhelmed?
I realized in a conversation the other night that I have created a safety net for my life which very much includes my business. Here is what it looks like:
My faith in a Higher Power and my partnership with that Universal Power
The confidence I have in my god-given gifts, talents and abilities
The amazing support team that I have created around me which includes my dearest friends and life partner
The financial buffer that I have created with no debt
These four components weave together to form a very solid safety net for me. Let me explain.
As I talk about in my CD: Who Are You – Getting to Know the C.O.O. of Your Business , I believe that God is the C.E.O. in my life. I am the Chief Operating Officer. So I have a higher intelligence than me who I can go to for guidance, direction and support. That feels absolutely wonderful to not feel alone. I am in partnership with someone who is completely rooting for my success!
I also know myself well. The difference this has made in my life has revolutionized my self-esteem issues, taking my knowingness of self-worth through the roof.
All of you know the difference in how you feel about life when you feel good about yourself. Feel lousy and unworthy and you will walk around with the weight of the world on your shoulders. When you feel good about yourself, you walk with your head held high. This creates a vibration that makes you attractive and irresistible. People want to do business with you because you are confident and fun rather than depressed, worried or angry.
I also know what I do well and what I need to delegate based on my Sacred Gifts. Because I don´t live from a place of guilt about what I should or shouldn´t be doing in my business but rather what feels really good, then I feel confident that I don´t need to do things that I don´t like or are a struggle for me. Changes everything. Seriously!
Ask yourself: Do I feel confident that I can truly succeed in my business? If the answer is no, then there´s an important issue to work on.
An amazing support team is pivotal and crucial. If you are not building a support team, your business will also be stymied. You can´t grow without a team to help you along, support you and encourage you. I have a fabulous team that includes my web guru, Krista Garren, a formatter, a team that works on my Word Press projects (blogs), an amazing illustrator and a great recording/editing and duplicaton team for my CDs. Then my fulfillment house does a job that is absolutely fabulous in getting my products out to clients.
On top of a fabulous support team, my friends and partner Greg support me consistently. That means they also kick me in the butt when I need it but they never admonish me to play safe or small but rather large and magnificent.
Ask yourself: Do I have a team around me as part of my safety net or am I going it alone? If you don´t have strong, spiritually healthy people around you, you will struggle. Guaranteed.
Money is the last part of my safety net. I have been broke so I know the panic and fear intimately that comes with wondering how you are going to pay the bills or make ends meet. There is a sickening dread each month and you don´t even want to think about retirement or the future. That doesn´t feel good as I am sure you are aware if you are in that situation.
So for me, having no debt and money in the bank is wonderful. Even both of my credit cards are secured credit cards so I truly have no debt even using a credit card. It simply frees up energy to focus on really wonderful things I want to manifest in my life rather than focusing on a budget with not enough money.
Ask yourself: Is the money/debt situation in my life sucking precious energy from me because of the worry and fear? If so, then put some energy into changing that situation.
Look at these four areas in your life and see if you can create a safety net in your business.
Knowing that I have this safety net constantly in place allows me to move forward with confidence just as a tight rope walker undoubtedly feels more confident with a safety net beneath them. Confidence is a good vibration which brings powerful results into your business.
