Whenever anyone hears that I own 4 businesses and have 3 children, they instantly make a whole lot of assumptions about me.
Well, I am crazy about business and about helping people get paid for what they are passionate about. What I am not crazy about is running myself into the ground, working long hours or not being there to tuck my kids into bed at night.
You see, what so many people think is that to have a successful business, you need to work 16 hours a day and sacrifice important family events in order to achieve success. But in reality that just isn’t true. I run my own business SO that I can choose the hours I work and never miss an important family event.
If you are running your own business with the promise that it will give you a fabulous lifestyle, but instead all you are getting is a feeling of overwhelm and a mediocre bank balance, then I’m here to tell you that’s bollocks.
And if it is, it’s probably because you’re making one of 3 big mistakes in business that no one talks about—but I’m going to during a Masterclass next week.
If I’m honest, there have been few things that have frustrated me more in my 19 years in business than hearing people talk about “the secrets to success”.
Why? Because I don’t believe in business secrets or magic wands. There just aren’t any, and that’s the truth!
BUT, it is unimaginably easier when you surround yourself with people who educate, support and empower you. It’s why I invest heavily in my own professional development every year, so I can show up for my team as the best leader they need, show up for my clients as the best business coach they need, and show up for my family as the best version of myself.
If you’ve caught yourself thinking:
… I’d love you to come and join the conversation at my free masterclass next Tuesday, March 15 at 7.30pm AEDT.
No secrets. Just an honest conversation about the truth of business ownership and the mistakes you can avoid to make it feel a whole lot more worthwhile, for both your bank balance and your lifestyle.
