Navigating the Daily "Polarity" (Highs and Lows) of Life as a Business Owner


Listen Later

Polarity is a word that I have used a lot lately.

It accurately depicts most of my days in business and in life.

Life as an online business owner, in my current season of business, requires navigating the mental load of hundreds of humans on a daily basis. Clients, team, prospects... all of it.

And with that comes polarity, which is the subject of today's podcast episode.

Polarity is the term that I now use to define the fluctuating experiences that often all converge into one, on any given day.

One client aces their launch.

One is struggling to see sales.

One is having an incredible experience and singing praises from the rooftop.

Another has defaulted on payment and hasn't replied to several follow-ups.

A team member or contractor is firing on all cylinders, kicking KPI goals and acting beautifully in accordance with the values of the company.

Another is distant, focused on other things.

You deliver a presentation and smash it.

Then, you sit down to prepare a podcast and stare at a blinking cursor for an hour.

You receive a compliment.

You receive a complaint.

They love you.

They don't.

All of it.

Often, in the same day.

As a business owner, I have been reflecting on the impact of the polarity of my days on my OWN mental load, and thought it might be helpful to share my experience with others.

I'm not the expert, but in today's podcast episode I am sharing some of the things I am learning.

✔️ Systematise Tough Decisions
✔️ Separate Business from Self
✔️ Take Action Based on Data, Not Emotion
✔️ Be Clear on What You Want
✔️ Don't Absorb Other's Emotions
