I read a post by Ramit Sethi a couple of months ago, and the question he posed to his audience was: What are some subtle signs of wealth? The comments that flooded in were hilarious and so on point. My favorite one was: Using an iPhone without a screen protector or protective casing.

It made me laugh because it's such a small thing, but it says so much. It speaks to an ease or confidence that comes with a certain level of financial security. The idea that you don’t have to worry about something breaking, or even care if it does. It’s a form of freedom we all want.

That post inspired today’s episode that is titled: The Subtle Signs of Owning a Business That Can Run Without You. These aren’t flashy, obvious signs that scream, "Look how well I’ve set up my business!" but rather, they’re those subtle shifts that speak volumes about your role in the business and the systems you’ve set up to support you. And like someone wise once told me…it isn’t sexy until it is.

If I asked you to fill a bucket with water but it had a huge hole in the bottom… you would think I am crazy right?

And yet, as business owners, we’re constantly focused on driving revenue while money leaks out in the form of unintentional expenses.

Focusing on making more money while money is leaking out…is crazy.

And inefficient.

Now, imagine this—you’ve set a goal, maybe it’s to increase your revenue by 25% next year, and you’ve decided to introduce a new subscription model. It’s exciting, right? You’re motivated. But then, almost immediately, your brain starts serving up resistance. It says things like, “What if no one wants this?” or “Is this really worth the effort?” Sound familiar?

This is the point where a lot of us get stuck. Our brain freaks out and offers LOTS of resistance, because pursuing a goal requires change. It requires growth. And growth, to our brain, feels like danger. And then, because we don't know what to do with this resistance, we talk ourselves out of some pretty good ideas and keep ourselves from achieving our goals.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about how to work with your brain, instead of fighting against it so you can achieve more of what you want with less mind drama.

How much time do you spend thinking about your business? If you’re like most business owners, the answer is ‘all the time.’ Yup, we all say it. But what if that’s not the badge of honour you think it is?
 
Today, we’re talking about why you need to stop being ‘on’ all the time, what down-regulating is, and why it’s a non-negotiable if you want to grow your business without burning yourself or your team out.

Ever notice how you speed up when you’re stressed?

We push harder, try to get more done…faster.

Oftentimes, it doesn’t even have anything to do with how much you need to get done.

It’s a sense of overwhelm and anxiety that moves with you through your week.

Whenever I notice I’m spinning in my own mind, overthinking things, and feeling overwhelmed without being able to pinpoint the specifics behind the discomfort, I do a quick 5 minute exercise to calm myself down and recalibrate myself towards my goals.

It works every time.

I recorded it for you so you can use it too whenever you feel the tension rising.
