Patty: Hey, hey Patty Dominguez here with episode number 16 of Her Legacy Podcast. Thank you so much for catching the show and I so appreciate you joining me. Maybe you are on your way to work or listening to me on Spotify because we are now on Spotify. Or catching the replay of the podcast on iTunes.
So thank you so much for checking it out. So this is Episode 16. It is a solo show show where I am talking about how to love your business even when times are tough and you're not necessarily feeling the love for your business. Now that could take a lot of different meanings meaning you're going through a hard time maybe you're working with a really crappy client. Maybe your just not in the mood maybe you're feeling overworked. There's so much here and as I think about all those things I just mentioned it's because I have personally gone through them.
For example in the cases where I've been working with a crappy client that can be really training and the truth is that when it feels heavy when you are just not having fun anymore then it's time to reassess how to make a change right. Being more specialized about or validating the types of clients that you are looking for qualifying is going to be a good fit.
Does it feel right so that when you take on a client engagement when you bring in somebody to your group coaching take on a one on one client working with somebody and maybe a partnership you realize that it is so important to be very discerning about how you screen that prospective client.
So with that make sure to have those guardrails in place make sure to set up the boundaries. This is a theme that came up in a group coaching that I'm a part of I'm a coach in it and we were talking about that very concept. The boundaries concept and just how important it is in really making sure that you're honoring yourself first and foremost.
The theme that comes to mind we've had Lisa Carpenter on the show and she's a fellow coach in this group coaching program that I mentioned. We were always talking about just pulse checking right. Hey how's it going with your business? Hey what are you doing? It's just the best at it. Which by the way big shout out to Lisa if you're looking for somebody to help you just to be more emotionally resilient? That is her sweet spot. She's incredibly great at it.
So we were exchanging communications the other day when we were talking about this very fact about putting up the boundaries honoring what you really want in your business making sure that you're putting your needs first. And it is not selfish and I think we women especially are so keen to always act we us. Not always but some of us do put ourselves last and really check yourself pulse check. Are you doing more of that than you should be? Are you really honoring yourself in what it is that you need?
Are you saying no? Because that's a complete sentence. And it's OK to say no. Or are you just saying OK I'll do it even though you really don't want to. So when you start to get into those types of things you read you then experience the effects of your business feeling heavy and when the business feels heavy it's just not fun anymore.
Maybe you're just taking on way too much work and that's another way a harder example of how the ripple effect of what it could mean is that you're no longer loving your business like you used to with the same bright eyes and that you started it with because you're just pushing at it too hard so check yourself stop and check yourself and say
Could I bring someone on to help me even part...
