I have to admit, I didn't realize what a huge impact one's nervous system has on everything in one's life until recently. I literally thought it was only about pain receptors and not much else. So, when I started learning about how much is impacted by it, I went down a rabbit hole of research.

Not only is your nervous system what sends sensory input to your brain, but it also controls all your bodily systems — cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, lymphatic, and digestive (for example).

AND... not only does it play a major role in our physical bodies, but it is also part of our mental and emotional health, too.

Your body and mind behave differently depending on the state of your nervous system. The key is to know what to look for.

How can you tell if you are a dysregulated business owner?

02/10/2023

You are not broken. Your body was designed to function like this. Your nervous system is autonomous and automatic. If it perceives danger, real or imagined, it will react. It is a basic primal instinct.

Living in a dysregulated state doesn't mean there is something wrong with you. It simply means you haven’t learned how to care for your nervous system. A 10-year-old who steals the car keys and takes a joy ride is bound to crash. The airbags will deploy, and safety features engage. The car was built to keep the driver safe, even at its own expense. When you know how to drive a car and take care of it, you can drive it for a long time. You’ll still run into dangerous situations and may even crash, but you know how to fix your car and get back on the road.

What happens to you and your business when your nervous system is regulated? Take a look.

02/08/2023

A regulated nervous system is one in which the body's response to stress is balanced and appropriate. It allows an individual to effectively cope with stressors (aka threats), maintain physical and emotional stability, and return to a state of calm after a threat has passed.

On the other hand, a dysregulated nervous system is one where the body's response to stress is excessive, prolonged, or inappropriate. It can result in physical and emotional symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbances, illness, weight gain, and others. This can negatively impact an individual's daily functioning and overall well-being, including navigating relationships and running a business.

What is the hardest “necessary” business task for you to complete?

I’ll go first,

For me, it is writing social media content.

I know – I’m doing it right now – but you should see the look on my face as I type. Total agony. 😉

So, I learned some cool tricks to create ridiculous amounts of social content in minutes. Here’s how:

Google your main topic
Scroll to the “People also ask” section
Toggle the arrows open/closed to create more entries until you have your desired amount
Copy all questions
Open ChatGPT
Type… “Create one social media post answering each of the following questions” then hit “Shift-Enter” and paste all the questions into the chat.
Wait a few seconds for the response.
Copy/Paste your posts into your content calendar
DONE!

My biggest regret as a business owner was spending $15k on a coach.

We’d hired her to help us grow our business. Her track record was impeccable. She owned a 7-figure business and knew what she was talking about.

But we didn’t grow.

We followed all of her instructions – every single step. We were enthusiastic and diligent. We showed up for every appointment and did all our homework.

But it didn’t work for us.

The problem was we thought we knew what was wrong with our business. We thought if we hired this coach to work her magic, our business would be exactly what we wanted.

But we were wrong.

We didn’t understand that the bones of our business were brittle. There were weak spots that couldn’t bear the weight of what she wanted us to implement. And, regardless of the investment, her strategy wouldn’t work until we healed our bones.

Knowing where to focus to help your business grow and flourish is better than any secret formula or magic.

That is where Happy Healthy Business is different. With our holistic approach to business coaching, we fully assess your business to identify weak spots so you know exactly where to focus and take action.

I finally took a vacation this year. It was the first one I’d taken in almost 3 years.

Not only was it a vacation for me, but it was also for my whole family – including my husband, who happens to be my business partner.

It wasn’t a short vacay either. We took SEVEN FULL DAYS off. Yep, a whole week where BOTH my husband and I were GONE from our brick-and-mortar business. TWO STATES AWAY gone.

And, guess what.

NOTHING HAPPENED!

The business didn’t burn down.
Our employees didn’t all quit.
Our customers didn’t disappear into thin air.
No one died.

But, getting our business ready to run in our absence didn’t happen overnight. We’ve been working systematically and implementing strategies to ensure our business can keep going even if we weren’t there. And, even though we aren’t ready yet, we are working toward stepping away from the business completely and being business owners, not business operators.

Do you need a vacation? Book a coaching session with me and we’ll devise your step-by-step strategy to take the break you need.

As an ADHD business owner, I have a hard time doing important things for my business like…

Marketing

Bookkeeping

Documenting processes

Budgeting

Creating an emergency fund

You know, the IMPORTANT stuff!

Executive dysfunction is real for me and I feel it a lot. There are so many other things I would rather be doing and those tasks are BORING and take a lot of brain power.

My business NEEDS these things done in order to be healthy. They are the bones of my business, and if I neglect them, I can’t expect my business to thrive.

What can I do?

The key to keeping the bones of your business moving, even if you can’t do it, is creating a system that works with how you function.

For example…

If you need to create social content but hate writing, record your thoughts and transcribe them.

If you don’t have time to document your processes, record your screen as you perform tasks.

The bones of your business don’t have to go neglected. With systems in place, you can focus on what you love about your business without sacrificing its stability.

I have a confession. I’m not perfect.

I know, shocker.

But more than that, my happy healthy family business isn’t perfect either. When I took my own business health quiz, I scored a 98, which sounds great out of 100, but there are 150 points possible. That is only 65%. If my business was in high school, it would be a solid D student.

The good thing is that perfection is not the goal of a happy healthy business. The goal is to continually work toward improvement and growth. We are in it for learning, not graduating.

Then why have a Business Health Score at all?

Taking the quiz and knowing your score helps you understand where to start working on your business. It takes away the guesswork on where to focus your energy so you can make impactful changes for good. It also gives you a structure to follow so you know how the pieces fit together.

You can get your Business Health Score at happyhealthybusiness.com. It only takes a few minutes and it is absolutely free. Then, schedule a free call with me to talk about your score. There is no obligation and you’ll know exactly the next step you need to take.
