I made a huge decision in my personal life recently, and it has impacted how I show up for my business.
We decided we wouldn't be having any more babies.
Josh has been on this train for a while, but it has taken me some time to decide what I wanted. Now that I have landed, the decision has never felt more right.
But, since making the decision a few weeks ago I have felt so much heaviness in my business.
While I am about to have a whole lot of firsts...
first time in full year school, first time I have a 5 year old, first time I have more than 15 hours to myself a week.
I'm also about to have a whole lot of lasts...
last time I will have a child at home with me, last time I will have a 4 year old, last time I will be a stay at home mum.
Itโs these lasts that are making me want to slow time down.
My business isn't going anywhere. But my baby is growing. And I'll be damned if I miss it.
Nothing will p**s me off more than if in 10 years time I wish that I hadnโt worked so hard in my business and instead spent more time with her.
I always say to my clients โif every single one of your dreams came true at 60, but you didnโt get any of them until you were 59, would you be upset?โ
Itโs time to take some of my own advice.
There is always time.
Social media can be so noisy and make you believe that you have to achieve every business goal within .5 seconds of being in business.
But we all have our own timelines.
Trust that more than you trust any business strategy.
For me this means I will be putting all of my energy first and foremost into my current clients.
Iโll still be here showing up but I wonโt be pushing to grow. I will be taking things as they come and implementing the things I really want to instead of the things I know will grow my business.
And then, when the time is right for me to move back into a growth stage, you will know ๐
