HOME BUSINESS LEADERSHIP AND WELLBEING .

AS HOME BUSINESS OPERATORS WE ARE OFTEN FACED WITH THE CHALLENGE OF WORKING ALONE FOR MUCH OF OUR WORKING LIFE......
This brings up an important realization for me:

I NEED TO BE ABLE TO STEP UP AND BE A GOOD LEADER FOR MYSELF OR MY WELLBEING COULD SUFFER!

Here are some tips for being a good leader (for yourself):

• Always keep in mind where beginners are at..(the beginner being you!).  So be kind to yourself, and keep your expectations real and do-able.
• Sell the point of view of success to yourself....Knowing that your can do it puts you way in front right from the start.
• Believe in your own ability to solve your own problems....sometimes you will need to give yourself space, sometimes time, and sometimes both and more....
• Trust and listen to yourself....Who better knows just where you're at?!
• Get good at seeing your wins....sometimes getting out of bed is just that.
• Keep showing up!
• Encourage yourself always!

We are loving our journey from being employees to running our own home business and we love sharing what we learn.  We also offer the chance for you to start up your own home business and be mentored just as we have been.  Find us at

HOME BUSINESS NEWSFLASH!

     I was waiting at the traffic lights today..

...and as I waited I looked around......at other drivers (you can do some great personality identification training while you wait at traffic lights)...
..at the sky.....and lots of other random things.  In the distance I noticed a sign.  At first I could hardly see it ....but the more I looked, the bigger the sign seemed to get.
The sign said:

        MAKING A LIVING IS NOT MAKING A LIFE.

It got me thinking so much......It made me remember the times in my life where I was "Making A Living", and all the feelings that came with it.....Yes, I got a regular pay, but I never allowed myself to THINK BIG AND OUTSIDE THE BOX of my job.  Yes, I had security, but there was a lack of being excited with my life.

MAKING A LIFE has seen me turn the tables and move on to become an ENTREPRENEUR.  That was scary!  Straight away I was dancing with excitement.  No security, risks taken routinely.......often I wondered what I was doing.  No security net, AT ALL......But you know what.......

I'm totally excited by life.....by everyday.....

And.....I'll let you in on a secret......to make the change, you have to do some soul searching and ask yourself  the following question:

DO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WANT?.....and if you don't then it will help immensely if you stop right now and have a good think about how you want you're life to be. Would you like to become an entrepreneur ?   Wow! I'd love to hear what comes up for you......

HOME BUSINESS WELLBEING WATCH.

O.K....Your Home Business Wellbeing is important.It is what will help you sink or swim.  
Here's a picture:.....You're burning the candle at both ends......(As we all are!).  You're working out,working up,working on,  and working at home.  Everywhere you look there is work! You're a well oiled machine, getting through each day on an unbelievable schedule.  You forget the last time you did something like .....laugh out loud.  You're so determined to step up and get that home business going.

HERE'S A QUESTION FOR YOU:

When something negative comes at you, out of the blue, when you are already so stretched.......How do you react?  How do you stay empowered at these times in your life?  Do you.........?

I'm going to share a couple of ideas I use to avoid spiralling into the negative abyss, and I'd love to hear any strategies you use.  The more ideas we have.....the more positive tools we have to work with, right?!....

OK>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

1. Sometimes when I'm on the edge of Negative Ville, I look up at my wall.....there is written.....

                       

                   HOW SWEET IT IS............................
           and I finish this sentence.

      2.  I also have a page made up  headed:   
               TAKE WHAT YOU NEED:
            Then there is a list with things like:

• hope
• love
• passion
• dance
• nature
• courage
• patience     .........and so on.....Pick which one or ones apply.
• Hope you find these ideas useful.....Would love to add more to this list......like your great strategies.
