Admit it. You want to put the right things first in your life and business. Oh, but the joy that comes from checking boxes off the to-do list, feels so good. Am I right? What should be prioritized in your life and business? The good news is that you get to decide.

What should be prioritized

Here’s the big secret. You need to determine what will always get your yes. That is how you determine what is a priority and what needs to be a no.

I love, love, love personal development. Podcasts, books, YouTube videos give me all the personal development.

In fact, one of my guilty pleasures is watching YouTube videos on anything in my perception that will make me a better person. My binge list includes productivity, time management, mindfulness, living a minimal life, cleaning (yep I like to watch videos on cleaning hacks), the list goes on and on.

My point is that personal development is on my list of priorities, however, it does not come before my husband, children, my faith, my business.

On A Ladder

In the book, Take Back Your Time: The Guilt-Free Guide to Life Balance, Christy Wright talks about how most of us see our priorities on all one level. She sees it as a pyramid. It’s funny because I see my own priorities on a vertical ladder or steps. The more important it is in my life the higher on the ladder it climbs.

How do you view your priorities? Are they all on the same playing level or do you have a hierarchy?

If you do not have a hierarchy I encourage you to come up with what should be prioritized. When you do this it makes it much easier to know what needs to get your “yes” and what needs to get your “no”.

Do you need help with finding balance in your life and business? I’d welcome you to apply to work with me. Here is a link to my Life and Success Coaching inquiry form.

Here is just a snippet of the important points, you know for the skimmer in you. 🤪

• Oh, but the joy that comes from checking boxes off the to-do list, feels so good. Am I right?
• You fill your calendar with a bunch of obligations that you feel you should do, but the only real joy comes when you get to check it off your list.
• A reminder that I give to myself and to my clients is when you say “yes” out of obligation you’ll be forced to say “no” to what matters and what should be prioritized first in your life.
• You need to determine what will always get your yes.
• My point is that personal development is on my list of priorities, however, it does not come before my husband, children, my faith, my business.
• How do you view your priorities?
• Are they all on the same playing level or do you have a hierarchy?

Do you struggle to follow through on decisions that you made to improve your physical, mental, or spiritual being? Maybe you struggle to actually make the decision, to begin with. This is a simple tip on how I handle these types of decisions. It’s simply asking will my future self thank me for this decision?

That dang voice

When that dang voice in my head tells me to write a blog post and record a YouTube about a topic that is completely outside of my comfort zone that means sharing from my uncomfortable zone it is with my future self in mind. Because she knows that I’ve done the self-coaching to get past all the mind drama that has kept her fearful in business.

It reminds me of the Albert Einstein quote “We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”

I think the same principle applies to decision-making. When we make decisions based on the person we are at that current moment, it may not have the best interest of our future self in mind.

In fact, it has the potential to keep your future self in the same place that you are today.

That’s scary in my eyes. Thinking back to the person I was starting my business. No way she would have the courage to write a blog post to share her true thoughts due to fear of judgment.

Instead of going outward, but turning inward when making decisions with a knowing that my future self understands that living “the good life” is having belief in my decision making.

Decision-making can feel hard or it can feel easy. We each get to choose our own path with that. I feel it’s hard when I spend hours being wishy-washy with my decisions. I feel it is easy when I make the decision while keeping how it will affect the future, in mind.

• This is a simple tip on how I handle these types of decisions. It’s simply asking will my future self thank me for this decision?
• Our future self is affected by all those little and big decisions that we make.
• My vision board has a future self that is fit, healthy, and happy. That has influenced my decision to begin a 40-Day Sugar Fast, 30-Day Yoga Challenge, get my life coaching certification and join a weekly bible study.

Are you about to reach six figures or have you crossed the six-figure mark and now find yourself struggling to implement the next big ideas? Coming up with the next big ideas for your business is not your bottleneck. Nope, it is taking action to implement your next big business idea. If this is you, you're not alone, and actually, you're in good company with a ton of online entrepreneurs. If you’re struggling to scale in your business it may be time to build a team of action takers to implement your next big idea.

What happens when the determination begins to fade?

I know what you’re wondering, what happens when the determination begins to fade. What are your next steps? How do you overcome this?

At the beginning of your business, it was great. Each day you sat at your desk determined to build your business, the good life you craved. But, now you’re all tangled up in the day-to-day operations.

The very thought of having to run the business and bring a new idea to life has zero appeal to you.

Do you have this common problem?

There is a very common problem that I hear from far too many business owners. They have a six-figure offer that is one-and-done. Let me clarify what is a one-and-done offer. Your customer buys from you one time because you have nothing else they can buy from you.

Instead of building a team, you spend your time on the hamster wheel of selling your one-and-done offer. Stay with me now, what if you brought on a team to help you build your next idea that could bring in recurring revenue from your current customers? This would get you off the hamster wheel of having to constantly sell in order to grow your business.

Either Way

You’ve lost the dream of why you started the business because implementation and action-taking are really not in your wheelhouse.

Now you’re stuck. You’re stuck in managing the offer, the business, the selling, and all the crap you no longer want to do in the business.

Really, in order to grow your business, you need to step out of the doing and focus on the big picture goals you have for your business. That is something only YOU can do.

If implementation and action-taking is a limitation of yours it may be time to build a team of action takers.

Don’t you wish you could get out of your own way and onto the growth path?

Is that something you’d like for your business?

As an online business manager with a team of project managers, this is where we tend to step into a business.

Our clients have built a solid foundation, but they are done with the day-to-day management and operations of the business. They’ve reached the point of burnout and exhaustion. They have created and implemented an offer that is launched and profitable. They have hit a ceiling and are not able to grow and scale.

They have been burning the candle at both ends with running a business and a family.

And, just can not do it any longer.
