Is Work Life Balance Achievable as a Woman in Business

If you’re working 7 days week in some capacity in your business, going to bed feeling unaccomplished, or feeling defeated over another stagnant quarter of revenue then I guarantee you’re doing 1 or more of these…

Saying yes to every opportunity because of FOMO, working IN your business 80% of your time, or spending 75% of your time on non-income producing activities, am I right? Are you doing at least one of those things?

No worries you are in the right place because today I am about to share with you how to finally create work life balance.

When I start working with women in business, most of them have been focused on checking off their to-do list daily, thinking everything will be better once they hit the next revenue level, and adding products or services to their business to increase sales.

Here’s why work life balance has seemed like a myth so far on your entrepreneurial journey. You are so focused on completing tasks to just get them off your list that you no longer know whether they are actually moving the needle in your business. Or You are so desperate to grow your sales that you have deviated from your core products/service and now no one knows what exactly your business does or helps, which is why you are not seen as an expert in your industry and are just blending in with everyone else.

Now there are 4 foundational pillars that you need to implement and I cover them inside my signature program, The Legacy Business School, but today I am going to give you a portion of the most important one that 90% of the women entrepreneurs I work with have skipped over when starting their business. What I am going to teach you today is going to help you get started moving away from what I call The Exhausted Entrepreneur Stage of your business!

Inside my Legacy Business System, pillar one is what I call Business Model Structure. This is made up of 3 elements:

1. Your Personal Vision,
2. Your Business Mission, Vision & Values, and
3. Your Curated Portfolio of Products/Services.

Today we are focusing on your Personal Vision and here’s why…

Most of us were raised by parents that taught us that if we work hard enough and long enough we will be successful. But the problem is working hard enough and long enough does not guarantee success, am I right? For instance, how long have you been working in hard in your business? Let me guess, a couple years right? So because you have now worked hard all these years, are you guaranteed success, sadly the answer is no.  And the statistics prove it. Only 48% of businesses make it to 5 years in business! And I am sure we will agree that these people probably worked hard too but almost 50% of them were not successful.

So let’s go over the first crucial element that you need to do today to start your work life balance transformation.  Defining your personal vision is going to change the way you think and work because it is the foundation to your future success. 

Every single decision that you make going forward is going to be based on this, so don’t take this lightly!

First, I want you to think about what you truly want your life to look and feel like. Where do you live? Who do you surround yourself with? What do you do all day?

Then you should journal this out and dig 5 layers deep. Most women when I start working with them say they went into business for more time, more money and more freedom. Those are great!  But they are so generic and bland!  Everyone wants those 3 things.  You need to define what more time means to you and what are you going to do with your 24 hours each day. Same with more money. How much do you want and what are you going to do with it? And same with freedom, what kind of freedom and again what does freedom look like and what are you going to do when you have it.

Second, you are going to write out your ideal day based on your dream lifestyle.  This is your average day, just like the movie Groundhog Day. If you had to do the same thing over and over and over, what would your day look and feel like. Write it out!

Finally, you need to review this idea day each and every morning so it is fresh in your memory throughout the day. If you have to carry it with you as a reminder, do it.  Because as I said you are going to use this to make decisions in your life and business.

Let me give you some example. I am not a morning person, so my ideal day has me starting work at 10am. So when someone asks me to attend a 7:30am morning meeting, I can clearly see that does not align with my ideal day, so I can easily say no. And here is a pro tip, when you say no, say something like “Thanks so much for thinking of me, but I don’t start my day until 10am because that is when it’s best for me to work and be fresh for my business.”  What’s going to happen is then you are going to attract ideal opportunities in the future. I have literally had people message me and say, I know you don’t start work till 10am, so I thought of you when I saw this luncheon and would love to have you attend!

Does this make sense?

When you follow this process and stick to it for 90 days, you are going to find that your work life balance will become much more balanced and no so skewed because you are making decisions that make you feel good, which in turn makes you happier and more fulfilled.
