Speaker: aligning your life and your business. This topic is so, so important. I see so many entrepreneurs struggle with the implementation of this. You started your business to have freedom, of course the financial freedom, but also the time freedom, the freedom to enjoy your life experience. And what happens in business too often for entrepreneurs is you have the vision for the business.
Speaker: You start implementing this vision, you start getting success, the business starts scaling, and then there's all of this energy coming in the business and you find yourself working more than you probably would have if you were in a full -time job. So in this episode, I am going to teach you how to align your business to fit the life you want to be living versus fitting your life around your business, which is what many of you are currently doing. True business alignment is when
Speaker: Your business fits around the life you want to live. It's not the other way around. So many entrepreneurs that I work with come to me. They've scaled their business. They're making lots and lots of money. And then they get to this point where the business is taking up so much energy. Energy in their day -to -day life, also energy in their mind.
Speaker: that they want to burn the business down because it's burning them out. And that's not the reason why you started a business. You started a business to feel free in your life, to enjoy your life, to experience life. Now I've gone through this recently. I'm 37 weeks pregnant right now as we speak. And when I first got pregnant, I realized that the model of my business was not going to fit the life I wanted to live as a new mom.
Speaker: So at the time I had been doing a lot of one -on -one sessions, like all day, every day. I had a lot of applications coming in and I was just, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. You want to work with me? Cool. And it was amazing. I really enjoyed all the new clients that I was working with and I love my one -on -one work. I am not stopping doing one -on -one work by any means.
Speaker: But the way I was doing one -on -one was not sustainable for the vision I had for the life I wanted to create as a new mom. I want to be a present mom. And at the same time, I also have no intention of scaling back my business. As you can see, I'm 37 weeks pregnant and I am launching a podcast right now, three weeks out from my due date. I have been full force, foot on the gas, scaling and growing my business for my entire pregnancy. And it hasn't burnt me out.
Speaker: I've been doing it with the intention of preparing for baby season. Even in baby season, I'm not stepping away fully, but I have realigned the business so that it fits around the life I want to live during baby season, during those first few months of my baby girl being on this earth. I want to be present, but I'm also not giving up on my business dreams.
Speaker: And I'm someone who believes that I can have it all. I don't subscribe to that mindset of, oh, you're having a baby. You're not going to have time to run your business. I'm having a baby, so I need to align my business around this new chapter of my life.
Speaker: And it started with getting clear about what that vision was for my life. Before I was pregnant, I didn't mind doing a lot of one -on -ones. I love my one -on -ones. And let me be clear, I am not stopping doing one -on -one work. It's not getting shut down or anything. But what I have done is become a lot more selective around the one -on -one work I am doing.
Speaker: And most of the time when we realize we need to realign things in the business, which I'll talk about how in just a minute, making the switch and realigning things is not as complicated as you think. So for me, what I needed to figure out was how I can take some space from the one on one work, not totally off of one on one work, but how I could take some space from it.
Speaker: not allowing revenue to be so reliant on one -on -one and be present with my child, but also have revenue coming in. So I'm not just stepping away from the business and burning the business down. I am a business owner. Revenue needs to come in. So that's what I needed to figure out, okay? How am I going to sustain the level of revenue while being present with my child?
Speaker: And the answer to that was quite simple, right? So I had the clarity. I want to be a present mom, but I also want to continue to scale the business. That was my vision. So the clarity was there. I want to be a present mom, but I also want to continue to scale the business. How do I do that? Well, I already have passive products. I just wasn't promoting them.
Speaker: So it went from shifting my marketing to being so heavily focused on my one -on -one sessions to the products and courses and programs that I already had. And so for you, if you're wondering, is my business creating the life that I want to be living and experiencing? And so the best way to figure out if you're in alignment with life and business is very simple. When you think about the way you're living your life,
Speaker: or the way you will be living your life if nothing changes. Do you feel stress or do you feel flow? Do you feel tension or do you feel clarity? Oftentimes finding alignment isn't that complicated. It's a matter of tapping into how you feel. And when I really sat down and thought about one -on -one as my only revenue source, it created stress for me because I knew it was not going to give me the life I wanted to live and experience. And that is why you are here on earth.
Speaker: It is why you are a business owner so that you can enjoy your life, so that you can feel good every day, not so that you can live stressed out. So that is the best way to understand if your business model is in alignment with the way you want to live your life or not. Does it feel like stress or does it feel like flow? Step one.
Speaker: And again, most of the time what you need to do to align your business with the life you want to live is not that complicated. It's just a matter of realigning things. So how do you know if it's time to realign things? Here is a three step process that you can follow today to figure out if your business is in alignment with the life you want to be living.
Speaker: Step one is you need to have clarity around the vision of what you want your life to look like and feel like. If you don't have clarity on what you want your life to look like and feel like every day, it's very difficult to make yourself happy every day.
Speaker: So step one is having this deep clarity on what you want your life to look like and feel like. And this is not just what you want your business to look like and feel like. This is how you live your life every day. So paint yourself a picture of how you'd like your life to look and feel like. Because you can't build a business that allows you to have that if you don't have deep clarity around it first. Step two is to take
Speaker: inventory of your business as it is right now and assess if the business as it is right now can support the life you want to live. Can my vision of what I want for my life manifest or exist if things stay the same of my business right now? And if the answer is no, it's realignment time, which again isn't that complicated.
Speaker: It's not that hard to realign things once you have clarity. The hardest part is finding the clarity. Once you have the clarity, realignment can be quite easy. So part three to this is asking yourself this next question. What needs to shift in my business for my desired life to exist? Start there.
Speaker: and the rest will unfold. This three -step process is something you can do in literally under five minutes, and it will give you massive clarity on your next steps to creating alignment and fulfillment every single day. And most entrepreneurs think that alignment is this woo -woo mystical feeling that you feel on the inside when things are in flow and working.
Speaker: In my world, alignment is the embodiment of self leadership. It is the ability to lead yourself in creating the life that you actually want to be living, to lead yourself in your business activities every day to create the life and the business that you want to be experiencing every single day. And these questions will help you in the embodiment of self leadership. So alignment is the embodiment of self leadership. Because when you are in alignment, you are
Speaker: leading yourself you're not allowing life to just lead you you're taking charge you're the one holding the pen that's reading the story of your life. So just to recap here's the three step process for you to do to figure out if your business is in alignment with your life and how to realign and reassess if you need to.
Speaker: Step one is to gain clarity around the vision of what you want your life to look like and feel like. Step two is to look at your business and ask yourself honestly and openly, can the vision of what I want for my life manifest or exist if things stay the same in my business right now? If the answer is no, it's realignment time, which again isn't hard. And step three is asking yourself,
Speaker: What needs to shift in my business for my desired life to exist? Now I've put these questions in the show notes below so you have this process and you can do it.
