Creating Your Own Schedule

Good morning beautiful One of the many benefits of being an entrepreneur is creating your own schedule. For as long as I can remember (over 30 years) I have been self-employed. I've been traveling on my own timeline without having to ask for permission or to be stuck with only 2 weeks vacation. I haven't really thought about that much until just recently. You see, I will be traveling for almost 30 days in September & October. This is a an important reset for me as I'm letting one chapter go and starting a new one. I could go down the scarcity rabbit hole of one or more of these thoughts: "I shouldn't be taking this much time off, I'll be behind on my work," "I'm starting something new, shouldn't I dive in 100%?" "This is a crucial quarter for my business. If I'm not here, I can't make money." "Everyone else will be working on their business and I'll be vacationing! I will lose momentum." "My business is going to suffer while I am gone." I can go on and on. (Add your own fear here and let's turn it on its head.) We are brain-trainers here. We have been reading the Weekly Dose of Joy for a while now. We know we have a better way to look at this. What if traveling IS the thing that WILL build our business? What if it's ease & flow that build our business? What if taking time away is the very thing you need to build your business the joyful way?

Good morning beautiful

One of the many benefits of being an entrepreneur is creating your own schedule.

For as long as I can remember (over 30 years)

I have been self-employed.

I've been traveling on my own timeline without having to ask for permission or to be stuck with only 2 weeks vacation.

I haven't really thought about that much until just recently. You see, I will be traveling for almost 30 days in September & October.

This is a an important reset for me as I'm letting one chapter go and starting a new one.

I could go down the scarcity rabbit hole of one or more of these thoughts:

"I shouldn't be taking this much time off, I'll be behind on my work,"

"I'm starting something new, shouldn't I dive in 100%?"

"This is a crucial quarter for my business. If I'm not here, I can't make money."

"Everyone else will be working on their business and I'll be vacationing! I will lose momentum."

"My business is going to suffer while I am gone."

I can go on and on. (Add your own fear here and let's turn it on its head.)

We are brain-trainers here. We have been reading the Weekly Dose of Joy for a while now. We know we have a better way to look at this.

What if traveling IS the thing that WILL build our business? What if it's ease & flow that build our business?

What if taking time away is the very thing you need to build your business the joyful way?

Taking time off is good for my soul

Getting away is what I needed

Stepping away from my business is OK

I'm not behind; I'm filling my cup

Taking time for myself is self-care

Changing my environment sparks new ideas

I love that while I'm away ideas will flow

Being in a different space is just what I needed

I feel calm

I feel ease

I feel peace

I have aknowingthat all is well

I am re-energized

I am re-calibrated

I am re-juveniated

And that is how it is done! 😁

Professional women are leaving the workforce every day to pursue their dreams of becoming the CEO of their life. Is that you? Hi, I’m Julie and I have spent the last 25+ years developing techniques and tools that connect with my soul's path to pursue a heart-centered approach to coaching women through a prosperous business journey. My clients are not new to the business world, but they are new to owning their own business and understanding what it means to be the CEO; my method begins from the inside out.
