Organizing Magic to Make Your Financial Fantasies Come True
As an ambitious, creative business owner you have what I’ll call “Financial Fantasies”. That’s not because you dream the impossible, but that you dream big. You posses qualities of unique brilliance that have significant value in the marketplace.
The challenge is that you are also a “BusinessMom” which, in my book, means that you are a nurturer. Weather it is to your children, extended family, as a community volunteer, or client coach…you nurture. This creates a physical and emotional tug of war. You may have heard this described as “seeking balance”.
Problem is that “balance” is illusive and downright impossible to maintain. The very word means equality, and let’s face it your family (nurturing) responsibilities and business demands are just not ever going to come out even on the balance sheet. Even if they could be equal, life’s realities just make it impossible to sustain…just like standing on your tippy toes can’t last long. Besides, you aren’t standing still. Life is moving on, and so are you!
A few years ago, as I struggled to “find balance” I realized these inequalities and discovered a new, and very achievable, goal. I call it “RHYTHM”. I loved the image of working in a smooth flow, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. My SMARTcutR systems gave me RHYTHM. With a plan and a path, I could manage life’s ups and downs more easily. I felt like a magic wand had touched my corner of the world and transformed me from drudgery into a dream life.
Step 1. DREAM- The Law of Attraction teaches that the first step to getting what you want is to visualize it as specifically as possible. Pause frequently to day dream about what you truly desire, in whatever area of your life that is currently chaotic. Make a goal poster or vision board full of pictures of your ideal reality. Write positive denials and affirmations. Be conscious of your self-talk. Keep it positive! Retreat from people who discourage you and limit your beliefs.
The other day I got asked a great question “is email marketing being replaced by social media?” With lower open rates, more spam filters, and email boxes overflowing should we stop building our email list and focus on Social Media? Short answer: No!
I spent 2 days working with Debbye Cannon, the BizMom Mentor . We worked one day on my workspace at home–giving my office a major tune up. Before Debbye arrived I thought-I’m doing pretty good here. I don’t think there’s too much to change. Boy, was I wrong.
