Hello & Welcome to today’s episode of Dream Business Dream Life.
Today I want to chat a little about what really matters. What we as business owners and people really need to be doing.
How we as business owners and people really need to behave.
Why?
Well frankly I’m seeing so much sadness, so much nastiness and so much unethical behaviour out there right now and it makes me feel sad.
My mission is to help business owners to be happy and for as long as we are fighting amongst ourselves, pretending to be something we simply aren’t and not running our businesses in a professional and ethical way we have no chance of being happy.
Why would seeing someone struggle make you happy?
What would publicly humiliating someone make you happy?
Why would giving a bad service to your clients make you happy?
Pretending you are someone you aren’t is exhausting; I know because for years I pretended I was ok, I pretended that my business was ok, and I wore a mask every single time I left the house that made people think I was the lucky one; the one with the nice things and the ‘big’ business.
But the reality is I wasn’t happy, and I could not keep that pretence up forever.
Something had to give.
I want to ask you something…when you started your business why did you start it?
Was it to make an impact on the world?
Was it to make more money?
Was it to have more freedom?
Was it because you just didn’t quite feel like you fitted into the thing you had kind of fallen into doing?
Whatever that reason was I guarantee that somewhere within that reason it was about being able to do things your way, about not having to answer to someone else or to obey someone else’s rules.
I guarantee that it wasn’t to make you feel even more stressed, even more worried and even more miserable.
So why do so many people create a business where all of that simply goes out of the window.
Where their reason gets forgotten.
For starters peer pressure and then there’s so much fakeness out there in peoples marketing. People claiming to be able to work magic when the reality is we create our own magic. Yes, we may need support to get us there but it is down to us to create it.
People making us believe that success is all about money…making us believe success is all about the places you visit, the way you show up, the way you do business, the car you drive, the shoes you wear, the people you hang with, the people you cheerlead and even the people you avoid.
We are sucked into doing things even if they do not feel right.
We believe what we hear and read too much so instead of making our own decisions, our own choices based on what we want we follow the trends and we strive to be like those that look super successful.
We strive for the next milestone and the next and the next.
I want this to stop…I want everyone to be happy and the only way that is ever going to happen is if we start with one little thing at a time.
One teeny step towards being the real you, the you that I now is kind, clever, beautiful and capable of achieving whatever you want to achieve.
So, let’s put that stake in the ground…right now.
Let’s make the change we want to see.
Because I know I am not alone on this mission to create a happy world and of course I am talking global domination of happiness and worldwide peace here as that is way beyond something I alone can solve but what I can do is my bit…and so can you!
Wow…I feel like I have just done my election speech there, but I just feel it is important to start talking about some of this stuff.
So what I want to do now is to take you back to where it all began.
And no, I don’t mean Adam & Eve began…I mean where you began.
In order to be happy you have to know what being happy means to you.
So when I talk about knowing what success means to you, this is exactly what I mean.
Success isn’t just about a destination, a point where you have everything you want and suddenly you become successful.
Success starts way before that, it starts with the how you get to the point of having everything you want.
It starts with the way you run your business and the way you live your life right now.
Success is about being true to your values and about being the true version of yourself.
Success is personal and every single one of us will have our own version.
That means you need to love the person you are right now as it is that person that will get you to that dream life in the future.
You can only love yourself when you stop listening to what you should be doing and start doing what you want to do.
Your happiness is yours and nobody gets to tell you what that should look like.
Nobody gets to judge what you want and do, and you don’t get to judge anyone else either.
So let me ask you again why did you start your business?
What does success mean to you?
Because to be happy you have to know the answer to both of those questions, and you have to be taking intentional action every day to make sure that the life you are living and the business you are growing are in alignment with those answers.
When people tell you to stay in your own lane, this goes way deeper than just blocking out the noise of other people’s achievements and stage in life or business, it also means being your true self.
So go and send some time reviewing your mission, reviewing your version of happiness, your version of success and start to be that person.
Be kind, be grateful, be the amazing business owner you are meant to be and go and start living that dream right now!
Thank you for listening; see you next time…
