Welcome to Shop Talk! While we love providing you with jam-packed, actionable posts, we also wanted to share quick, thought-provoking snippets here and there — from our brains to yours.
Often, our coaching clients and community members come to us feeling overwhelmed and like they have no space or time to breathe, let alone create. They’re stuck in firefighting mode and their wheels are turning...but the car ain’t moving. If you’re in this mode often or always, that’s part of a larger problem (a time scarcity mindset, a lack of prioritization, or an inability to say no, perhaps?).
But, inevitably, there will be times over the course of your solo biz when you will feel like you can barely keep the biz going because of a lack of time -- self-care seems laughable and focusing on growth? Impossible.
Two common times for these feelings? During the holidays and during a product launch.
During these periods, we urge you to find the wiggle room. What do we mean by that? Find the moments here and there where you can make adjustments -- i.e. wiggle free a bit more time.
Does your at-home workout need to be 1 hour or would 30 minutes of HIIT accomplish just as much today?
Do you need to make a gourmet meal or would a Crockpot meal -- or even a microwavable meal -- suffice just for tonight?
Do you need to walk to your coworking space or would it be okay to pay for an Uber (or tuk tuk, if you’re Cristina) this afternoon?
Do you need to post 25 pins on Pinterest per day or would 15 be enough this week?
Do you need to stick to your 4 times per week blog post schedule or will your readers understand if you cut it back to 3 times per week just this month?
You get the gist. Where can you find a bit of wiggle room today?
P.S. If you find yourself in this mode often, it might be time to reclaim your time. We can help...for free. Grab our free, 5-day email course below.
