So when you’re feeling stuck on what you want – I want you to ask yourself this question:
How can I detach & treat this like an experiment?
‘Cause your motivator is always going to be your ability to step outside the need for this to succeed and just treat it like a game. Or a lab.
OK, what kind of data am I going to get? And then you just run with that, and experiment again.
No attachment to the outcome; it’s all info. All helpful.
OK, so as a manifesting generator, you need to delegate what doesn’t light you up.
‘Cause you’re meant to have the internal battery power to work a full day doing a bazillion different things in your business, then come home and have all kinds of different hobbies plus spend time with your family – but only if you have a bunch of different things you enjoy doing.
So you might be finding you don’t have enough things that you like going on – in terms of growth ideas for scaling – or that you’ve been trying to make yourself “focus” and “hone in” on just one thing (‘cause that’s the standard growth advice), when it’s totally wrong for you.
‘Cause that’s just the way you’ve been designed – to always have a lot of things you’re playing with.
Just something to sit with.
Now, you may or may not be able to change all that by saying “you need to have a bazillion more hobbies or find a bunch of different income streams,” but we can definitely make sure you’re aligning your work style with exactly what goes on during the day.
So for you, double check whether you’re working wherever you feel inspired – you don’t necessarily care about neat environments (or even regular work spaces that you return to day after day).
And you’re also going to want to have all these pre-chosen tasks and projects that you do every 10:30 on Tuesday or every Friday after lunch, for example. Your brain likes this kind of super structured, here’s when I do this, always consistent kind of schedule.
So don’t let anyone tell you you ought to be more “in flow” with your routine – that’s fine for them, it doesn’t work for you. Okay?
And the other thing your brain wants to do is to actually give yourself laid-out, step-by-step project plans or action steps for whatever that pre-chosen to-do is that you want to settle into.
So you’re very left brain about picking what you want to work on – and very left brain in terms of how you actually approach starting it. That make sense?
OK. So here’s what I’d recommend for you from here.
Obviously, big picture, you’re going to need to delegate quite the pile of stuff to make room for all this splendid multi-focus stuff.
And depending on what all’s on your plate – like do you have kids at home still, are you homeschooling, do you need to be helping with homework, are you driving them to band practice, are they neuro-divergent, how much of the house load are you carrying, are they in college prep season, are you driving them to tons of rehearsals, not to mention keeping them in clothes when they’re growing, right, and if you have any special diets you’re responsible for managing….
There’s a lot that goes into just having the space in your day to set up these new routines and outsourcing lists and family and client boundaries now that you know your energy type.
Plus avoiding the mindset icebergs that keep sucking you right back into your old ways of doing things.
(You know, like trying to focus on one thing at a time….)
So you may not even have the schedule room to set up your proper left brain working style right now. Let alone carve out all that free time to start ideating on what you need to do to fix the rest of this.)
Or maybe you do – hopefully you do.
But that’s where I’d leave you right now – you want to start telling your VA or your OBM or your kid or your husband that there’s going to be some pretty big changes around here in how you’re doing business.
Like in the nitty gritty, how you show up for work every day mode – and in what you’re going to be expecting them to do.
‘Cause I gotta say, it’s amazing how much less you have to push and fight and “square peg into round hole” yourself to make all these revenue goals and big rocks for this quarter, when you just scrap all the “standard” time management strategies, and start from the ground up making everything suit you.
Which is the totally fun part, to me – junking all the “normal” business advice you get on how to run your to-do list, manage your day, how much time you should expect for yourself, everything – ‘cause most of it really is absolutely counter to your Human Design nuances.
And there’s a ton of it – and I’m on a mission to change it.
‘Cause you don’t need to force yourself through your workday to make great money. You can hit every single big priority project this quarter to grow this business.
And you can even 2x your business without taking on 3 more people’s jobs (that you don’t have time for) – because being an entrepreneur gets to be the goal-crushing, non-stressful, count-on-able part of your life.
Not this angst-y, pressured, “how am I going to make this work” thing on top of your house and kids.
And 6 months from now, what I’d love to hear from you is that you can’t even remember the last time you forced yourself into the old way of powering through your day anymore – ‘cause that’s how much your normal way of operating as a biz owner has changed for you.
So work with somebody (or multiple somebodies) to get that all figured out – doesn’t have to be me – so you aren’t slowing down your biz like crazy ‘cause you’re fighting yourself and your natural way of working at every step of the way.
So, I hope that gives you a liiiittle more clarity around what’s going on under the surface of this work-from-home gig, plus some lightbulbs around how you specifically are designed to operate.
‘Cause the fastest way for biz to feel easy – no matter what your revenue and conversion rates and actual clients are doing – is to show up for all of it in a non-draining way, every single day.
That’s how you love business without getting sucked into performance.
Okay, that’s all for now, and have a great day!
