What I have learnt as I have re-focused my business

As a woman who has “reinvented and re-focused” my business over the last 18 months, I have been pondering lately about what it now takes to “lead myself” and have a positive I.M.P.A.C.T. on others in my life and in my business.

I offer my current lessons and learnings re this, in the hope that some may be useful for you also.

1.      Be eternally vigilant with my thinking and mindset… especially about what is possible, for example … Expanding my thinking and possibilities for myself and my business rather than decreasing possibilities.

2.      Value my age, wisdom and learnings, AND embracing NEW IDEAS, NEW PARADIGMS and NEW LEARNINGS.

3.       Ask for help and pay for help, when I need it.

4.      Be CONSISTENT with actions that support my personal, professional and business growth e.g. walking and meditating daily (for my health and spirit) writing to my database fortnightly, posting on social media (with content that supports and inspires) weekly.

5.      Be mindful and compassionate with myself when I get discouraged and my thinking and self-talk is less than supportive. I recognise that this usually happens when I have not had adequate sleep and rest, and I take action to restore my wellbeing.

7.  Be with others who inspire, motivate and uplift me.

8.      Just as I have clients who come to me monthly for coaching and energy balancing and support, I invest in this for myself as well.  

9.      I remember that my body IS the temple of my spirit/soul… and I need to nurture and look after myself with tenderness and self-honouring. Practically this means allocating time in my schedule for me and my self-care –what I tell my clients – I ACT as if I MATTER.

10.  My home is my haven and completing “makeovers” in 2 rooms and decluttering a lot of paperwork last year, has shifted the energy considerably in my home and my business.

11.  AND I am reminded to LEAD MYSELF and others with I.M.P.A.C.T.! (here is what my acronym stands for)

Write INTENTIONS daily for yourself/your leadership,

Live and Lead MINDFULLY, and MANAGE your MINDSET,

Be PRESENT to what you are doing and who you are with,

Take consistent ACTION towards your goals and intentions and ACT with integrity,

Have COMPASSION for yourself and others,

And TRUST in Yourself and a Benevolent Universe!
