Mindset of working on the RIGHT THINGS

So I hope you're having an amazing week. So we're talking about the mindset of working on the right things and getting out of that constant need for hustle. So if you're here, say hi, let me know you're here, ask questions. I'm always happy to answer your questions. But the constant hustle being an entrepreneur is a mindset that is a mindset that you choose. And when you have ADHD, sometimes we get so stuck in that, the theory of that mindset, that we don't work on the right things. So it's a mindset of working on the right things in your business instead of all of the things. We think we have to do so many things when we're entrepreneurs, especially if we follow the online gurus and all of that. But business really can be simple, and it does not have to be overcomplicated. It does not have to be frustrating. It can really, really be simple and not overwhelming. And that is the big thing, is owning a business does not have to be overwhelming. It can be simple. And understanding what the right things are for your business and working on, on your business is really, really important. So today I want to talk to you about the mindset of taking care of yourself first. If you aren't taking care of yourself properly, Then your business is going to be a struggle. Everything about your business is going to be a struggle because self-care is one of the most important parts of having a strong mindset as a business owner, believe it or not. And people are like, well, what does that have to do with owning my business and doing the thing? If you aren't taking really good care of yourself, then you get overwhelmed easily. Just, you get so overwhelmed by all of the things that have to be done that you don't actually get anything done. And I know we all know what that means. The I have so many things to do. I'm going to take a nap. Theory of life. So how are you assessing yourself for your energy each day? I know this all goes back to that good, better, best thing that we talk about all of the time here. How is your energy today? What can you do today? What are your minimums for the day? And one of your minimums should always be self-care. So if you're taking care of yourself properly, if you're sleeping properly, if you're eating properly, if you're hydrating properly, if you're doing things to create the space for increasing your dopamine and increasing your serotonin and your endorphins and all of that dopamine mapping that I talk about so often. When you're doing that, all of the other things become less overwhelming, become less frustrating, and business starts to fall in place because it makes more sense. When our dopamine needs are being met and our body needs are being met, then your business needs can be met. It's not that they just automatically happen in some magic poof and your business is awesome because you got to bed at a decent time last night. No, but you can make the things happen in your business a whole lot easier when you're well rested and when you've eaten and when you've done the basics of self-care. But understanding what your energy needs are each day is part of that self-care. Looking at, oh, I could get 9,000 things done today. So great. What is the structure for those days that you can get 9,000 things done in? I only have a little bit of energy today. I can only do 5 things. So what— great. What are those 5 things that you can do? What is that one thing you can do today? Understanding what that is. And that is a mindset piece. That's not having the perfect plan and having a beautiful planner and all of those other things we talk about. So what is the mindset and the clarity that goes behind picking those right things for your business? If from a personal standpoint, you should always be taking care of your sleep, nutrition, and self-care needs. Sleep, nutrition, and self-care needs. Sleep is not— is self-care, but it's not, well, if I don't sleep, then I can go get a massage because that's going to take the place of sleeping. Nope. Nope. Your energy varies every single day and you need to understand what those energy levels are and what your body is going to allow in that day. Thank you, Jenna. Yeah, energy varies every day and it's good to learn how to honor that. It is so important to honor that, especially if something has happened in your life. Going back to— if your kids are going back to school, that is a transition in your life and you're going to need to know how to compensate for that, or maybe not work on your business during the week your kids go back to school. If you lose someone, if you move, If you had just any major shift in life, you have to understand, watch and understand where your energy needs are so your mindset can follow that. If you're honoring your energy needs, mindset is not a struggle. If you're honoring your business needs, then the mindset is not a struggle. And this is where those really heavy routines and all of those good, better, best days come into place, is really understanding those because mindset will follow when you have consistency and structure. And I know consistency, structure, routines, habits, these are all bad words to ADHD people that I can't do them because I'm ADHD. I call bullshit. You absolutely can. Just because you have ADHD doesn't mean you can't have structure and consistency. Your consistency patterns are going to look different than mine depending on the day, and that's fine. There is no exact consistency pattern you have to do, but there are things that you have to do to run a business if you want a successful business. Somebody called me out 2 weeks ago, I think that was 2 weeks ago now, about saying successful business. You either want one or you don't, and you want a happy business. There is nothing wrong with having a hobby business. I want to say that again, and I think I've said that a million times. If you want to be in the hobby realm for your business, that's perfectly fine. If you want to be a successful business and earn 6 figures, 7 figures, 8 figures, whatever that is, I would love to meet you if you're an 8-figure business owner. But whatever that is, then that requires a different amount of energy. And that you also have to understand that different amounts of success goals require a different amount of energy. Do you have that energy to dedicate to create And reach those goals, you need to know those things. And it all comes again; it all comes back to that consistency. It all comes back to understanding your needs. It all comes back to really understanding how all of this weaves together. Because if your personal life is in chaos, then your business is going to be in chaos. How you do one thing is how you do everything. That is true across the board. If something is in chaos, that chaos is going to spill over and affect every other thing in your life. If you're exhausted, that exhaustion is going to pour over and affect everything in your. life. If you are extremely high energy but unfocused today, that's going to pour over and follow everything you do in your life. How you do one thing is how you do everything. We say that a lot around here, and I know that some other ADHD coaches and things don't believe that that is true and criticize Rebecca and I for saying a lot of these things. But there's a level of success that comes with all of these things. Do you know what that level of success is? Do you know how to reach that? Do you know how to Compensate and understand what your needs are. How you do one thing is how you do everything. What are your needs today? What are your energy needs today? If you stay and follow a structure for today's energy needs, how you do one thing is how you do everything. Then tomorrow's energy structure could look very different, but how you do one thing is how you do everything. And, and, and, and, and that will follow through in all aspects of your life. So if you have, if your house is a disaster and you have complete clutter everywhere, you're going to have a hard time concentrating. That clutter is going to always be in the back of your mind that you got to take care of it and you feel guilty if you're working on your business and your house is a mess and your kids are a mess and things aren't going well. You have to work on things strategically and with clarity. Where clarity comes in as a business owner, again, clarity and mindset go together. They're really, really tightly woven together. If you're really clear on your energy needs, if you're really clear on what your family needs, if you're really clear what your personal life needs, then you'll be really clear in your business to follow through on all of those things and follow through on understanding what all of those needs require Of you. Yeah, exactly, Kelly. You just described her life in her house. Everything follows through. If your house is a disaster, that disaster, at least mentally, it takes a mental load to deal with that chaos. When you have less chaos, you have less mental load. When you have less mental load, you can create a better mindset and have more clarity. And it just follows through. How you do one thing is how you do everything. So what is your mindset regarding What your energy needs are today? I want to hear below. What are your energy needs today, and how are you honoring your energy? Please share below. I will be back Thursday, and we will do a Q&A on mindset and clarity for your business. What are some mindset pieces that are absolutely needed in business? What is some clarity that you need? Get rid of the kids. Got it, Kelly. Yeah, nice try. Getting rid of your children is not a viable option. However, school hopefully they're going back to school soon, so you will. Semi get rid of them at least a few hours a day. But how can you honor your energy and honor what you need still within that energy? I want to hear about your energy below. How are you honoring your energy today? And I look forward to answering your questions and being with you this week. Have a great one, everyone.
