In this episode of Women In Strength, I discuss something so so real for so many coaches. Burn out *gulp*! It's real but it can be avoided.

When we constantly react to urgent matters, we are responding to the now. We drop everything for the immediate demands of the “urgent”.

First point: there’s always “urgencies”

Second point: how urgent is it?

If you're constantly at the demands of your notifications and inbox you will forever stay in this reactive mode. Forever responding and reacting, burning yourself out, wasting time and not making time for the high leverage business building stuff.

I love backing up these episodes and discussing further so make sure to connect on Facebook and Instagram.

8 fundamentals to create and grow a thriving business

Fear of failure shows up in lots of ways to keep us comfortable and keep us safe.

Fear of failure stops so many women from taking action in their business.

When we fear failure we perceive that failure itself is going to be so bad that we can’t handle it. We perceive the impending failure to have so many horrible consequences. The worry grows, the anxiety builds, we immobilize ourselves and take no steps at all. It is safer to stay where we are, rather than walk into a perceived death trap.

I see many coaches focusing so much on “getting results” but not actually narrowing in on what that result means for their clients.

Thing is, “getting results” is completely specific to who you work with and what they deem as successful and of value.

We all know someone who promotes one thing and does the opposite. Promotes health & fitness but then goes on benders over the weekend drinking and taking drugs. Someone that preaches alignment and flow but is at the stronghold of her phone. We see the coaches selling the “6 figure” dream then find out next year that their tax bills pushed them into liquidation.

If knowledge and know how exists, why is it that we see clients often doing the opposite to get to the end goal? Because behaviour change is complex and confronting. Often we know there are other things underneath it all.

In this episode I talk about a real threat for many coaches. It leads to burn out and you don’t really know why.⁣

⁣

I had been in scarify mode for a while. 2016 I had asked myself if I could continue to live like this. Anything and everything was done out of the fear of losing it all. All the stuff I had worked for felt like a massive weight I had to withhold so I couldn’t take a break or take a slower pace.⁣

⁣

“Passion” was the rouse, vision was the explanation given. It was out of scarcity and it felt like shit. ⁣

⁣

Forever tired, always exhausted. Monday to Saturday go go go, fall on the couch come Sunday and try to recuperate. Those bad weeks that were always present every month but we don’t want to acknowledge them.⁣

⁣

We can change the way we run our business but it does require you to deep dive on your shit and lay your ego out. ⁣

⁣

Always hitting the month to month cycle where you are feeling “in flow” for 3 weeks and then you get that 1 week where you feel like utter trash. ⁣

These skills are the bloodline of your business. Never neglect them. It's not a set and forget. Never stop refining your base level skills.

I know how overwhelming this industry can be. Whether you’re at year one or year five there are always lots of things to do and without clear structure and advice it can be hard to figure out where to go.

Hands down the biggest struggle I face with other coaches I work with (and myself) are the limits we put on ourselves because of the beliefs we hold.
