Cultivating a Healthy Relationship with Your Business (BDay Fun Day 12) {Ep 106}
Welcome to Day 12 of Bday Fun and my birthday celebration! I’m thrilled to dive into a topic that’s really transformed my approach to entrepreneurship: having a healthy relationship with your business. I used to see my business as just a source of income, but then I realized it’s so much more. By treating my business as a separate entity with its own energy, I’ve been able to foster a connection that feels supportive and nurturing. In this episode, I’ll share some practical tips on how to treat your business like a partner, including understanding each other’s needs and respecting boundaries.
We often forget that our businesses have their own “needs” just like we do. I’ll guide you through ways to communicate with your business, discover any gaps between your desires and its needs, and even have fun together—yes, I mean taking it on a date! Whether it’s working at a cozy café or unwinding with a comedy show, infusing joy into your business journey can lead to greater creativity and productivity. So tune in, and let’s explore how nurturing this relationship can lead to a happier you and a thriving business!
