The Value in Taking a Step Back

Are you putting out yet another fire that has popped up?

What did that just cost you in terms of revenue?  What did that cost you in terms of balancing care with your business and your life?

What would it look like to really be managing your life & business with your aging parent?

Do you feel like you have little control and that you can’t get as much done which results in low cash flow?

What if there were a different way?  What if instead of the overwhelm and worry of ‘I-think-I-fixed-this-but-I-know-something- else-is-going-to-pop-up,’ you were enjoying stability and peacefulness?

I’m about to share with you a way that you can be less anxious, have more time and a simpler life.  Ready?

Take a step back.

Yep.  The value here is when you press pause and take a step back to look at the current situation as it relates to you taking care of your aging parent while managing your life and your business, you can identify a few things:  

  • The problems that continually pop up
  • The things that would be helpful to have in place so that you canexperience the peacefulness and stability in your life.

What that looked like when my clients Diana and Sally Jo stepped back and assessed their situations:

✔️Diana and her sisters are each taking turns taking mom to her doctors.  Diana isn’t the one doing all of the transportation so she has more time to spend on her businesses.  Yes, she has more than one!

✔️Sally Jo has hired someone to take care of mowing her lawn so that she has more time to continue to build her business.

What’s one big problem that continually interrupts your work and life?  Comment below because I’d love to know to support you.

The Secret to Taking on More Responsibility

Taking care of an aging parent while running a business?

Do you find that time gets eaten away from your work?

Today I’m going to share with you the secret to managing taking on more responsibility so that you can focus and move the needle forward.

Ready?

One of the ways to manage taking on more responsibility is to call in the 3 D’s – Dump it, Delegate it, Do it.

Watch while I break this formula down for you – in less than 5 minutes⬇️

First, I invite you to get centered. Feet on the floor. 3 deep breaths in and 3 deep breaths out. Light a candle. Pour a glass of wine. Grab a notebook and a pen that you love to write with.

Then brain-dump everything that you are doing – for yourself, your work, your aging parent, etc.

Once you have your list, go line by line and ask yourself – Can I dump this? (What are the consequences if I do not do this – if there are no consequences, dump it!) Can I delegate this? (Virtual assistant, bookkeeper, kids, partner/spouse, lawn care guy, house cleaner) and finally – Can I do this in 5 minutes or less? Then do it.

Let’s continue the conversation this Friday, April 28th at 2 cst/12 pst during the monthly gathering, Taking Care of Aging Parents WHILE Running a Business.

Taking care of an aging parent while running a business is not easy (understatement of the year!) And you are running at double time, working so hard to do all of the things. I invite you to slow down so that you can take care of yourself, your business and your health.
