In today’s episode of the podcast I talk about when things in your life and business get tough! I give you actionable steps on how to keep going and stay motivated when this does happen. KEY TAKEAWAYS COVERED IN THE PODCAST As a business owner, we have to do everything! It is understandably tiring.There are so many different factors that contribute to how we are feeling about life and business and have an impact.When you put your value into external forces (e.g. amount of customers, money, clients, etc), you then lose control of your own worth and happiness because we can’t guarantee any of those things.You’re worth the money you want to charge and you’re great at what do – just because one person says they don’t want to buy or wants to cancel their membership does not change this.Remember why you started and why you do it! Who are you doing it for?Look back and remind yourself how far you have come already! Sometimes we can forget this.You did that! You are amazing.Find your squad and talk to them! We need people around us who support us and want to see us succeed.You need people in your corner to fight for you, cheerlead you and bring you back up when you’re down!Go back to basics – what is the bare minimum you can do right now to keep going?Keep ticking along, pull it back if you need to and then refocus.When you are your busiest and overwhelmed – this is when you need to step back and look at what is going on.Co-working sessions are great for motivation, accountability and keeps you focused. THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO REMEMBER ABOVE ALL ELSE… When you don’t feel great and everything seems tough – don’t be annoyed at yourself or feel ashamed. We are human and sometimes we don’t feel like it!

So we're now way out of January, which is good and nice, and we're into February and fingers crossed things are starting to look up a little bit because I know that quite a lot of you and myself included, struggled in January. I mean it's a pretty rubbish month. Doesn't it? You know, with all the things that are going on in the world, it's not easy. And I'm sat here thinking about what to record for this episode, because I have all the interviews already batched up, but the solos, I kind of try and do it on the fly, which is a terrible idea. I should take my own good advice and make sure I plan my content for the podcast, but I didn't today. So I literally sat here before I hit record thinking about what can I talk about. And actually my kind of lack of inspiration of what I could talk about kind of worked out to be exactly what I should talk about. Because as you know, I work very closely with my members and my members of the executive club, and I know them really, really well. And we have one of the parts of the executive club when you're a member, is that we have a telegram group that we have conversations in. And what's really lovely is it's not just a work thing. It's also a 'Look, I've just done this. Hooray!' Or, 'Oh my God, the kids are driving me insane.' Or 'I went out for a walk this morning.' and it, you know, it sounds like it's really dull but it's not. It's a really good fun, and it's, it's, it's...
