You Need To Change How you Do Business

You're effectively the CEO of your business. I'm here to help you feel and behave like one. In this podcast show, we'll explore the many facets of being the leader, aka Queen of your business. We'll talk about creating a success mindset and taking your business to the next level. I'll be talking all things business mastery, mindset and manifesting through the Law of Attraction.

Book in a call and let's share a virtual cappuccino together!   XXX   When you step into the role of Queen you need to change how you do business.   You can no longer be all things to all people.   You can’t constantly give away your time, without being paid. You’re running a business dahlinks.   You need to set clear boundaries around what you will and won’t do.   Having a really solid business model will serve you well, so you are really clear about what you will and won’t take on.   The other thing that will help you as a Queen is learning how and when to use the word, ‘No’!   When you run a service-based business, you want to be of service, and that’s great. But at what cost? In order to master your business as a Queen, you need to make sure that you’re smart with your time, strategic with your action, and focused when you do work.   Sometimes you need to set boundaries for yourself, as it’s not others who are the problem, it’s you! You’re a Queen, but you’re also trying to do every single job in your business, and all that leads to is burnout.   So, if you're sitting at your desk or on your sofa answering emails at 11pm at night , you're training your clients to expect you to be available 24/7 (figuratively, not literally). If you don't want to work at 11pm at night, then something has to change. It starts with not replying to emails at 11pm at night (unless you're a night owl and that's when you want to work).   Another example that a lot of my Queenies (clients) love is that I only work Monday to Thursday as a general rule. No evenings, no weekends. It’s something I chose to do a few years ago. It means that when I do work, my time is very focused, and it means I get a life outside of my business too. Boundaries.   Now you might be thinking that if you set boundaries with your clients you'll lose them, or they'll fall out of love with you. The reality is some of them might, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't set them. Some people actually like boundaries - and people respect you when you have defined lines that cannot be crossed.   Sometimes it can help to have a few phrases to hand, whether it's a reply to an invite to work with someone else, or a client approaching you with a problem. Here's a few ways you can set simple boundaries:   1. “I no longer do free work, but you can check out my free resources here...” [add link] 2. “I only do paid speaking gigs. If you want to know the kind of topics I deliver, here’s a link to my Speaker page...” [add link] 3. “I only work Monday to Thursday, and don’t work evenings or weekends. I’m happy to work with you during any of those times. Here’s my diary link ...” [add link] 4. “I no longer have time to do free trainings in other people’s groups, but here’s a link to some training I delivered for my own tribe. Feel free to share it with your group ...” [add link] 5. “I no longer have time to do coffee meet ups. If you’re looking for some support though, here’s how you can work with me ... “[add link] 6. "It's really kind of you to think of me. I like to give projects my 100% commitment and right now my priority is 'x', so I wouldn't have the time to dedicate to it and give it the full attention it deserves." 7. It's not something that feels like a good fit for me but I could put you in touch with ...."   Here's a few reasons why you want to consider setting boundaries:   You are a Queen, you need to retain control of your kingdom (not in a ruthless way, but so you feel like you’re mastering your business instead of others ruling it)   You will be nicer to know! (Grumpy Queens aren’t great to be around. Working too hard is no good for anyone)   You will get time to do things you love (ooh, what could you do with that extra time?)   You will feel more confident (knowing that you are honouring yourself, your family/friends and also teaching your clients/others how to be strict with their own boundaries)   So give boundary setting a go! If you work on your boundaries, you're going to have to re-train your clients so they understand what is/isn't acceptable to you. It's tough, not for the faint hearted, but it's oh so liberating! And hey, you’re a Queen, you CAN do this!   Action This Week: Spend some time thinking about the boundaries you need to set in your business. Where are you giving your time away? Where are you overworking? What needs to change? Make the changes and then you’ll have time to do your royal duties.   Want to work more on boundaries?
