What's the point?

There are so many talented and gifted solopreneurs out there who are starting to have some - or having a lot – of success. The problem comes when they start becoming so overwhelmed with everything going on, that the success stops becoming fun. They’re feeling like a gerbil spinning on the wheel in the cage –going round and round - and they don’t know how to get off!

They’re feeling overwhelmed, they’re complaining, can’t sleep, eating poorly, doing things they don’t really like or enjoy...and just aren’t happy. They’ve traded one demanding boss in the business world for becoming their own demanding boss.

Often, when this starts happening, these solopreneurs start unknowingly self-sabotaging themselves. Maybe they get sick – or something falls through the cracks. Opportunities get missed. The joy is gone. Do you know what I’m talking about? Most of us have been there.

What’s the point of going on this journey, if you’re not enjoying the journey? I could have stayed in my corporate job making lots of money, as could many of you have done the same thing. We left to start our own businesses – following our passions and our dreams – ultimately to live happier lives.

One of my greatest gifts, is helping solopreneurs reach more success, while leading a joyful, balanced life.

Here are a few tips to start getting you back to the place of enjoying this path you’ve chosen:

Take time to go for a walk and take a moment to enjoy your surroundings. Check out the picture of my view when I get up at 6 am to take my dog, Cali, out for a walk. Getting up that early is definitely not fun, but seeing this view puts a smile on my face.

Remember why you started your business in the first place. Are you heading in that direction? If not, you need to go back and review your vision statement and get back on course.

Here’s a Tapping Script to help you start releasing some of the feelings of overwhelm:*

Karate Chop: Even though, I’m feeling overwhelmed from my business and not enjoying the success that is coming to me, I’m open to the possibility that I can let some of these negative feelings go, and I love and accept myself
(repeat Karate Chop phrase 3 times)
Inner Eye: All of these feelings of overwhelm
Outer Eye: All of these feelings of overwhelm
Under Eye: I thought I would be enjoying success
Under Nose: But instead I’m not having fun
Chin: It’s starting to turn into a grind
Collar Bone: I’m dreading hearing the phone ring or the emails I get
Under Arm: I’m dreading my client meetings
Head: I can’t even remember why I started my own business
Inner Eye: But what if I could start focusing on why I did start my own business
Outer Eye: And what it would look like to me
Under Eye: The type of things I wanted to do and clients I wanted to work with
Under Nose: And started saying “yes” to what I wanted
Chin: And “no” to what I didn’t want
Collar Bone: Letting more of my stress go
Under Arm: Letting more of my feelings of overwhelm go
Head: And focusing on my success!

*Please remember that tapping is meant to be very gentle and you are responsible for your own mental health.
