In business we are often called upon to switch focus rapidly. Traci found herself in such a situation recently, when following a transformational learning event that had given her an incredibly empowering sense of positivity, she was faced with devastating personal news.
But from the ashes of this event came a renewed sense of belief in the fact that it’s more important than ever to ensure that our businesses can function to an extent without us. In this special and highly personal episode, Traci discusses the hard, sometimes painful, but ultimately rewarding process of making sure your business can go on without you.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
After suffering a catastrophic personal loss, Traci found herself unable to focus on her business interests, as it felt wrong to do so, and quite simply because her mind would not allow her to focus in the way needed.
In the wake of a personal upheaval in life, it soon becomes clear that your systems and processes become key to keeping your business living and breathing as a separate entity.
When Traci returned to her business to resume work properly, she was able to ask herself what had worked well in her absence, and which parts had suffered as a result of her not being there.
It’s good practice to not wait until these tumultuous events arise to reflect. Reflection should take place once a week. Look at what’s working. What could go better? How did your week go?
Ask yourself what would happen to your business if you suddenly had a family drama that required your personal attention? What is your back up plan? Do you have systems and automation in place to take care of your responsibilities?
People often assume “passive income” means that you don’t do anything. It actually means that you put in a lot of work at the beginning, and earn from the same process multiple times.
When you fail in business you learn a lot about yourself, and if you are reflective and observational you can take these failures and analyse the precise points at which you could have made changes. Each failure is a lesson learned.
Relinquishing control is vital to any business. You can be so focussed on your business that you may not be aware of new advances that can help your business thrive. Be open to bringing new people in and hearing about the processes they may know about that can benefit you
BEST MOMENTS
’The desire to be empowering, motivational and inspiring to others is what kept me there’
‘Life happens. No matter how successful you are, there are things that will throw you off guard’
’Those questions will help you to identify where your strengths and weaknesses are’
‘It’s common sense to make sure you’re leveraging the most out of what you do for the maximum return on investment'
‘Life is not guaranteed, and it’s so important to make the most of it'

ABOUT THE HOST
Traci Cornelius is a Speaker, Business Coach, Mindset Coach and mum to five Girls.
Like many, Traci’s story is not really a succinct one. It is long with many twists and turns (which is like business and life itself!).
"Many of the twists and turns have helped me to learn, to grow and to become a successful entrepreneur."
On a professional level, she runs many businesses. On a personal level, she is a Mum to five wonderful, adorable, courageous, independent and challenging girls.
“I discovered exactly where I had gone wrong in my previous businesses. Everything I had been through, the good the bad and the ugly started to come together into the best discovery of all the “5 Power Principles”. I implemented them, first in my business and then in others and so they then became the “5 Power Principles” that other people wanted to know about!”
