How a small decision can turn your life around

Personal vs. Business  WORK / LIFE Balance?

Not long after I first got started, my business was unhealthy. The accounting and the financial sides were a mess. I let it get out of control. I think a lot of entrepreneurs do that in their first few years.

When the end of the year comes they’re like, “Oh, my God! I’ve got to clean up this massive mess.” I had an unhealthy business, but I also had an unhealthy body. I was eating poorly, staying up really late & drinking too much Red Bull. I was totally unhealthy. That was showing up in my business as well. When I decided to fix myself, my business improved, too. It’s a fascinating thing.

I often tell clients – “People don’t have business problems, they have personal problems that reflect in their business”. The opposite is also true – “People don’t have business success, they have personal success that reflects in their business”.

For most entrepreneurs or consultants if their business isn’t making money… Or It’s not moving forward or growing… They try to solve it with more tactics. More ads. New chatbot. Tweak the product. Start blogging. They believe they can just go to the business side of things and fix it, but they totally ignore their personal side. If somebody has an issue with their business, it always comes back to some personal issue in their life. If somebody isn’t committed in business, this lack of commitment will often (not always) show up in other areas of their life. They won’t be committed to their spouse, they won’t be committed to eating healthy or following a specific routine. If there’s no commitment in their business, there will be no commitment in the personal life. People try to solve business problems with pure business tactics. That’s the only thing they believe will work. I can tell you that no amount of business tactics will solve a personal issue that shows up in your business. The only way to solve it is to solve the issues in your personal life as well.
