Listen "Cultivating Patience"
Episode Synopsis
Patience may be a virtue, but it doesn’t come easily to all of us. In fact, I count myself as an impatient person. But one thing that I’ve learned over my years of helping others grow their businesses (as well as growing my own!), is that patience is an absolutely essential entrepreneurial skill.The key is that, as business owners, we need to learn to blend our patience with proactivity — this potent combination is what helps us to take action, and to give ourselves grace when our actions don’t always lead to the results that we desire!When we hit the right balance between patience and productivity, we are less likely to fall victim to frustration, anger, resentment, and other negative emotions that can distract us from pursuing our real goals. As a bonus, hitting this balance can also help us to become the type of leader (and human being) that we want to be!In this episode, you’ll discover: 3 areas in your business that make you feel impatient — and why waiting can be good for youWhy cultivating patience in regards to money in particular is crucial (and how to deal with dry spells!)A real-life example of the need to blend patience and proactivity — and what can happen when you rush to reactTimestamps: 00:35 Intro02:14 Fence example06:58 What kind of leader do you want to be?08:20 What do you wish would happen faster?10:28 Highs & lows11:30 Patience with money13:06 Dealing with dry spells14:44 Patience with customers16:22 Patience with goals20:00 Guided exercise25:22 ConclusionLinks mentioned: The Business of Thinking Big #30: Dealing With Dry Spellshttps://www.liannekim.com/blog/30 —Learn with me: https://www.liannekim.com/dreamclientConnect with me: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liannekimcoach Instagram: @liannekimcoachJoin the Mamas & Co. community to get access to valuable resources and the support of likeminded mompreneurs and mentors: https://www.mamasandco.com Instagram: @mamasandcoPodcasting support:https://theultimatecreative.com https://copymagic.agency— Connect with me: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liannekimcoach Instagram: @liannekimcoach Join the Mamas & Co. community to get access to valuable resources and the support of likeminded mompreneurs and mentors: https://www.mamasandco.com Instagram: @mamasandco Podcasting support: https://theultimatecreative.com
