HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR SHIT IN THE PROCESSBeing an entrepreneur is exciting. <strong>The</strong> taste <strong>of</strong> freedom and choice is amazing, forsure. With that, also comes responsibility and accountability to your business.Because, guess what? Just as you are the captain <strong>of</strong> this ship, you also have to be theone leading and guiding the ship.And a solopreneur can get overwhelmed in the process.I get it. <strong>The</strong>re are times I say, “Shit, did I really quit everything for these hours??”And then I have to remind myself <strong>of</strong> the bigger WHY for this unconventional way <strong>of</strong>living and working. And THAT takes the cake.Most days.So here I am sharing with you my best tips (at this moment in my own life andbusiness), to not lose your shit in the process <strong>of</strong> building your business andcontinuously growing it.Tip #1: Start your day with an intentionNothing is worst than starting your day going right to your laptop and saying, “OK,what shall I begin now? E-mails? Client marketing? Blogging?” You’ll getmisdirected on what are priorities and end up doing so many things that may not beas important as what you REALLY need to do for your bigger goals.Start your first part <strong>of</strong> your day, even if it’s 15 minutes right in the morning after yourshower, or whatever your routine is for the morning…by being STILL.If it’s in your practice to meditate, start with that. Or just sit quietly and be still withyour eyes closed for at least 15 minutes. Think about what you want your day to belike. Pump those feelings you want to feel for the day. Is it joy, happiness, fulfillment,celebration, excitement? What is it? You don’t need to think about what you need toDO to have those feelings, just “What is it that I want to feel today that would beamazing?”Tip #2: Turn <strong>of</strong>f everything and plan your biggest priorities before end <strong>of</strong> dayYou know how easy it is to get stuck into the e-mail vortex <strong>of</strong> clients and peopleneeding things from you. If you open p your e-mail first, what will happen is you’llget stuck into fulfilling what everyone else needs first, before your own.So take some time in the morning and write these down:• What are 3 “non-negotiables” that I have to do for ME that will help alignme with my goals for my business before the end <strong>of</strong> the day? <strong>The</strong>se canbe things like:<strong>The</strong> <strong>Must</strong>-<strong>Haves</strong> <strong>of</strong> a <strong>Successful</strong> <strong>Online</strong> Business | www.Screw<strong>The</strong>Cubicle.com
