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.

How to find the Resources you need

Finding the right ‘thing’ just when you need it – feels like a miracle, right? Like the skies have opened and sunshine is pouring through.

Often the right ‘thing’ shows up just when you need it because you manifested it. Yep, you manifested it. Now – Hang on because I’m about to get woo on you. And I’m also going to show you how you can gather those resources faster so that you can have what you need, in place.

First, let’s talk about the woo. Manifesting.

Things show up in our lives because we think about them and visualize them into existence. When you need something, you probably find yourself saying something like, “I wish I had _____________.” Right? Then one day you notice it has shown up.

What if you could work with the universe to manifest what you need even faster? What kind of difference do you think that could make in your life? In your business?

I’m about to tell you exactly how to do that. First, let’s talk about the term ‘resources’.

Resources can be defined here as a thing, a mindset, a person, a system.

Think of it this way, in two different scenarios:

Scenario #1: you are frustrated at having to use your precious time, time that you could be spending in your business or on vacation, trying to figure out how to manage a problem that has popped up.

Scenario #2: you are enjoying your day, working on and in your business, enjoying your vacation or somewhere in between because you have identified the resources you or your aging parent need so that they are in place. As a result you have very few to no problems popping up.

Which scenario would you choose? Scenario 2 you say? Me too! Let me tell you how to manifest that.

It’s pretty simple, but often overlooked. That is to assess the situation. What I’m talking about here is the situation with your aging parent.

What is it that your aging parent needs?

What is it that you need?

Specifically…………….

What is it that you need so that you can easily run your business while you take care of your aging parent?

Resources. Remember we are defining them here as a: person, system, tool, mindset or company.

Once you can identify what resource(s) you need, then you can put them in place so that you are enjoying your life & running your business as you are taking care of your aging parent.

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.
