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 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 on your business, then be with your kids or do something for fun – but only if you enjoy what you’re doing in your business.
So are there specific things you’re doing for the business, that you could actually be outsourcing – if you had the right person, or started training them?? Just something to sit with.
Now, you may or may not be able to change all that by “hiring 3 more people” and magically finding the money for them right now, but we can 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 in what you consider a tidy, same place-same time work environment. Like whether you have a regular workspace, that’s laid out according to how you like it, with your preferred level of neatness and access.
(And it will be neat according to your standards – doesn’t have to be the OCD person’s version of “all tidied up.”)
But you’ll have a version of “everything in its place” that works for you – so make sure you’re giving yourself this.
And you’re also going to want to be able to choose which thing you feel like working on (for different blocks of your day and also your week). You don’t want a pre-approved “must do this and this and this in exactly this order on these certain days” kind of schedule.
And the other thing your brain wants to do is to actually give yourself the freedom to just work on what feels next to you under each project.
So you don’t want the 20-step plans on how to plan out your content or what have you – you want to just see what your brain pulls out as the next immediate step for you. Whether that’s drafting captions, or strategizing pre-launch content, or just free writing the darn thing already to get in the groove.
Your brain knows what it needs next; it just needs you to let it (even if that’s not the most “strategic” part to work on next).
So you’re very right brain about picking what you want to work on – and very right 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 doing only what lights you up 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 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, doing a whole bunch of stuff just because you “have the energy”….)
So you may not even have the schedule room to set up your proper double right brain working style right now. (Let alone carve out all that free time to start ideating on the next version of all 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 kids 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 – in what you’re going to be expecting them to do.
And I have to say, it’s amazing how much less you have to push and fight 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 building everything to suit you.
Which is the totally fun part, to me – junking all the “normal” business advice on how you run your to-do list, manage your day, what kind of time you get for yourself, everything – ‘cause most of it is really absolutely counter to your Human Design nuances.
And there’s a ton of it – and I’m on a mission to change it.
Okay. So. Work with somebody (or multiple somebodies) to get that all figured out – doesn’t have to be me – we just want you to start getting all this turned around so you aren’t fighting yourself anymore. (Now that you know you have absolutely zero reason to.)
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, 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!
