Networking, delegation, and self-care are key to success as a business owner. Here’s what I mean…
Early on, I operated in a silo – head down and very achievement-focused. However, as I grew professionally and personally, I learned that you can tap into a wealth of knowledge and experience by building a network of achievement-oriented business owners. These individuals can provide valuable advice, support, and even potential collaborations or partnerships to help you skip ahead.
My other big lesson over the past 4 years is one I’ve had to learn over and over – delegation. It’s easy to fall into the trap of trying to do everything yourself. However, by delegating tasks to capable team members or outsourcing to experts, you can free up your time to focus on strategic planning and business development. If you’re too busy performing operations inside your business, you won’t have the capacity for the BIG work like seeking feedback, analyzing data, and adapting strategies.
Last but not least, roll your eyes if you want, but I’ve suffered the consequences for NOT leaning into self-care enough. So, taking care of my physical and mental condition is back at the top of my list. One more hour or one more checked-off task isn’t going to change things, but a level-headed, open-minded, peaceful CEO who can look at the big picture critically will.
Key Takeaways:
The importance of self-care and daily habits to respond to tough situations, delegate tasks, and constantly improve
The value of building a network of achievement-oriented business owners for advice, accountability, and support
The significance of delegation, systems, and constant improvement to grow as a business owner
(00:03:18) “That decision to pivot and the acceptance of the rhinoceros size push the universe was giving me toward the podcast editing space would launch me on a personal development journey wrapped up in a quest for leadership and business operations knowledge with sprinkles of mindset, self-worth, and growth-oriented habits on top.”
(00:08:15) “The important things, though, are what I’ve learned to do when things get tough. There are simple, small daily habits that when I do them consistently, no matter whether I’m up or down that day, I respond in a more level-headed manner. I’m more discerning as to what really matters and what doesn’t and I’m clearer on the actions I need to take to move forward.”
(00:12:46) “Reaching abundance isn’t just a woo-woo show about higher power and meditating and manifesting money. Although I practice a bit of woo myself, reaching abundance is about pulling collective wisdom from an open-minded circle of entrepreneurs, learning to trust your instincts and growing into the person you want to become.”
I shared a few of my mistakes as a business owner in this episode. There are definitely more to come! Did you make the same mistakes? Or perhaps different ones? I’d love to know your past and present challenges so I can address them in an episode.
