Hello gorgeous business owner,
What a difference a few years and a world event can make. Hybrid working is now a thing. Flexibility has been brought into focus. And the human behind the work has come to the forefront.
I’m writing today sitting at my desk wondering have we gone far enough? Are we living better? Are we making the changes needed to bring down stress and health issues associated with overwork?
What I know for sure in my own accounting and business coaching practice is that small to medium business owners are not necessarily better off. Particularly women. They are dealing with juggling many balls, thinking about work outside of work while trying to ensure that all the bills are paid.
And I see them often downplaying the struggles they are facing, the things I call a Biz-Life Crisis.
• Giving up lunch breaks and exercise
• Less time with loved ones or we’re distracted when we are with them
• Working late
• Giving up hobbies and exercise
• Missing social engagements
or worrying about money.
In our current environment often the exchange for affording shelter, food and clothing with the occasional holiday is often so big, we have nothing left, minimal time and energy to do all the things that matter to us, the things that we worked so much for in the first place.
That’s why this practice focuses on what I call Good Life Businesses.
Good Life Businesses are not about how big a business is, we don’t see success as 7,8 or 9-figures. We also don’t believe a Laptop Lifestyle is for everyone. We also don’t subscribe to the idea that financially well business owner looks a particular way, even if Instagram may have you thinking otherwise.
A Good Life Business Owner looks just like you. And me.
They are a person who desires a business that pays them well, and allows for a good, no, great life outside of work.
Where their priorities, personality and preferences are taken into consideration when designing their business model, offers, products and services and prices.
“A Good Life Business is curated to promote rather than detract from a business owner’s desired way of working and living.”
In a world where overwhelm and exhaustion is associated with running your own business, the entrepreneurial struggle doesn’t need to be your experience.
