I like to see this time of year as the opportunity to dive back in and come up with a fresh approach to plan for the future! This season can be about refining what you have built so that your business can continue to support you for a long time. I know that many of you use this time to make new goals and create new opportunities, but today I want to talk about what it looks like to prepare your business so that you’re ready when life comes at you again. Shit is going to hit the fan whether you want it to or not and I want you to build a business that can survive that without being so dependent on you. Personally, I never want to be financially dependent on anyone else and I know that many of you feel the same way! You want your business to work even when life gets thrown your way. You aren’t trying to fix the ‘shit,’ you’re trying to live and work while it’s happening!

I do not think enough people understand the reality of the added stress being a business owner brings. The tiniest thing can happen that will completely derail your day or even your life. These things are part of life and will happen whether you have a business or not. So how do we deal with these challenges as they come up and prevent them from completely altering our future success? I know so many of you wish you could wave a magic wand and be at the point in your business where you could rely on it consistently in challenging seasons. And not being there yet is fine! What I want you to do is create a business that allows you to prioritize what you want and that is built to survive if you have to walk away for a while. If you want a business that can handle these things, you’re going to have to make some changes.
