Sam Laura Brown – (Begin of episode)
[00:00:29] Immediately, I wish to share with you simply one thing to pay attention to. If you happen to’re a perfectionist and also you’re constructing a enterprise, it is a mistake that I’ve made with regards to enterprise. I see lots of perfectionists make this error. I’ve really been teaching on this loads inside my program, Perfectionists Getting Shit Executed.
[00:00:46] And I simply wish to convey it to your consciousness, as a result of if you’re making this error, then it’s going to be exhausting to develop the enterprise the best way you wish to. And it’s going to be exhausting to really feel as fulfilled and glad as you wish to, as a human being. So what I’ve been teaching on is this concept of separating out what your small business wants to have the ability to develop, to have the ability to thrive, to have the ability to be wholesome, and what you want, your private wants, your human wants, your emotional wants, your bodily wants.
[00:01:17] What can occur, particularly if you’re somebody who’s working loads, when you’re continuously fascinated by your small business, even if in case you have different issues occurring in your life, possibly you’re not full time in your small business but, however if you’re continuously fascinated by your small business, then what’s going to usually occur.
[00:01:33] And this has positively occurred to me and I’m simply now doing the work to unwind this, is that you want your small business to fulfill your whole private wants and also you’ll turn out to be very needy with regards to your small business. So this seems to be like for me, for instance, Certainly one of my private wants as a human is feeling self expressed and desirous to have a approach to specific myself, to be understood, to have the ability to be artistic, to discover completely different concepts.
[00:02:04] And when my solely outlet for that’s the enterprise, what it means is that I’ve to determine a enterprise mannequin that fulfills the necessities I personally have for being self expressed. So what this seems to be like is, and as you’ll most likely know, we’re at almost episode 500, that I like doing that via the podcast, but when the one means I’ve for self expression is the podcast, then I’ll usually over clarify, document additional lengthy episodes, like I’m simply making an attempt to get All of my private wants for self expression met via this one outlet, which isn’t essentially what the enterprise wants.
[00:02:45] And that is additionally actually necessary to consider with regards to desirous to have an aligned enterprise. I discuss this loads. I imagine on this deeply that you simply wish to have a enterprise that’s aligned together with your strengths, together with your values, that you may fall asleep at night time feeling like you might be happy with what you’re doing and what you’re engaged on.
[00:03:03] Um, even when it’s not good that you’re feeling such as you’re really doing one thing that’s in alignment with you and helps to convey out the very best in you. So for me as properly, look, really recording episodes for the podcast is aligned with the talents that I’ve. I’ve developed lots of the talents that permit me to document episodes simply, however it’s aligned with the talents that I’ve and the needs that I’ve.
[00:03:28] However on the similar time, if I’m wanting the podcast to fulfill all of my private wants for self expression, that’s not essentially going to be good for the enterprise. And that places lots of strain on the enterprise, lots of restriction on the enterprise as a result of we aren’t capable of do issues if I’m not going to be absolutely self expressed in them or if it should take time away from me being self expressed elsewhere.
[00:03:55] Versus what I’m shifting into is being extra self expressed in my private life and having different retailers that aren’t enterprise associated for self expression in order that with regards to the enterprise and the podcast, sure, I can nonetheless love recording episodes. Sure, that may nonetheless be actually aligned for me, however I’m going to do it in a method that is sensible for what the enterprise wants, not simply fascinated by what my private wants are.
[00:04:25] I wish to give one other instance too. I used to be lately teaching a PGSE on this, that she was telling me that she was working loads and he or she was discovering it actually exhausting to stay to the instances that she desires to work on her enterprise. And so I used to be asking her, you realize, what are you doing in these additional hours? And she or he was saying that a number of the issues she was doing had been group tasks that she was serving to folks with, um, additionally studying issues.
[00:04:48] She loves studying. And so she was studying issues, uh, like taking programs and doing issues like that in her work time on the weekends. And so what I stated to her is, okay, however what if the values that you’ve got for giving again to the group, the values that you’ve got for being a learner, what if your small business didn’t need to have the strain of that?
[00:05:11] And what when you may really simply meet these wants in your private time? And sure, there shall be some overlap with the enterprise. In fact, you’ll have to be taught issues. In fact, you wish to give again to the group when you can throughout your small business time, however as a substitute of getting to have a enterprise mannequin purely based mostly round assembly your private wants, you may really zoom out, take into consideration, okay, what does the enterprise want proper now on this season?
[00:05:35] What does it want from me? What does it want from different folks? Like, what does my enterprise want? And that will or could not overlap together with your private wants and needs round schooling and round giving again. So how I’ve been fascinated by this too is with kids. So I’m a mother. I’ve three little ones.
[00:05:55] And with regards to elevating a toddler, elevating a new child, an toddler, a toddler, if you end up doing that, You’re what does my youngster want? For instance, after they’re a new child, they should have their nappy modified. They should have sleep. They should have some supply of meals. There’s a number of basic items they want.
[00:06:18] And it’s such a very good instance for me, as a result of once I take into consideration notably the new child interval, after they have lots of wants and lots of the time the wants that they’ve don’t align with what I really feel like doing within the second. Do I really feel like altering a nappy for the eighth time right this moment or with the twins for the sixteenth time right this moment?
[00:06:37] Not likely. Do I really feel like feeding them once more? Not likely. Do I really feel like doing all of the little issues required to assist them thrive? Not likely, however finally greater image. A vital worth to me is being a mother, caring for my kids, being there for them. So I’m keen to do issues that my kids want that aren’t essentially issues that I really feel like doing within the second.
[00:07:02] And I’m then assembly my very own private wants that I’ve in my private time. I’m not anticipating my kids to need to be appearing in a method that meets all my wants. And a toddler is a good instance of this, that if I’m anticipating. that my toddler, or my two toddlers, my twins are almost two years outdated, if I’m anticipating that my toddlers are needing to fulfill each emotional want that I’ve, meaning I’ve to place lots of strain on them to all the time behave completely in order that I by no means get upset, in order that I’m by no means the approaching up with any feelings that I’ve to work via in order that I don’t need to be extra emotionally regulated and be taught these expertise.
[00:07:46] If I’m anticipating and placing strain on them to be a sure method so that each one of my wants are met, then their wants aren’t going to get met as a result of they should take a look at the boundaries. They should specific themselves by crying at inconvenient instances or instances once I’m very drained. That’s a part of what they should thrive as a bit human.
[00:08:09] But when I’m looking for or take into consideration like, how can I’ve precisely what they want, line up with precisely what I want, and I get every thing that I personally want from them. It’s lots of strain. It’s lots of dependency. It’s lots of neediness. It’s not a wholesome relationship, even with romantic relationships.
[00:08:28] If you happen to have a look at, when you solely had one relationship in your life the place you might be desirous to get your whole emotional wants met, your whole wants for intimacy and connection met, All the wants that you’ve got as a human, it’s not going to be a wholesome relationship. It’s going to be very codependent and also you’re not going to be really capable of permit that individual to be who they’re and to get what they want as a result of every thing is constructed round you getting what you want and having them need to be a sure method so you may get what you want.
[00:09:01] So as a substitute, what most of us do is is we’ll have a romantic relationship. Then we may have friendships. Then we may have colleagues. Then we may have alone time. Then we may have a coach. Like we may have all these completely different ways in which we get our wants met. We are going to train. We are going to do all types of various issues to fulfill our private wants relatively than anticipating only one single individual to do this.
[00:09:25] So when it comes again to enterprise, If you’re spending most of your time fascinated by your small business, engaged on your small business, making an attempt to get your small business to the place you need it to be, then primarily what is going on is that relationship is changing into the primary relationship in your life. Even when it’s not by way of time spent, if it’s psychological vitality, it’s the place then when you aren’t getting your private wants met elsewhere, like if you concentrate on when you solely ever frolicked with one individual, You’d find yourself simply anticipating a lot extra of them since you would need them to fulfill all of the wants you could have for all types of various relationships as a substitute of getting it from associates and colleagues in all completely different locations.
[00:10:07] You’d put lots of strain on that one relationship and it most likely wouldn’t work out very properly. It most likely wouldn’t be wholesome. So if with regards to your small business, That’s your most important relationship. Then what will occur is you’re going to need to have the enterprise be away so that you could get your whole wants for self expression.
[00:10:29] feeling profitable and achieved, feeling productive, studying, rising, and you’ll find yourself needing to have your small business be good or feeling prefer it must be completely aligned and it’s best to really feel like doing every thing that should get accomplished. So with regards to how that is exhibiting up for me, as I discussed with self expression, And simply feeling like my enterprise, I wasn’t beginning it to create freedom by way of time or location, although.
[00:10:58] I like each of these issues. I like having that. However for me, I actually wished to be happy to be myself. And that basically spurred me to create my weblog initially, after which to develop and evolve with that, although it was actually scary to do this. And the perfectionism made it actually, actually exhausting at first to do this.
[00:11:16] And I needed to overcome that. However now, particularly as I’ve matured much more as a enterprise proprietor via wins, via lots of errors and learnings and classes, that now I’m in a spot the place I can actually see how pondering of my enterprise as its personal entity and fascinated by, okay, what does my enterprise want actually helps me to truly assist it to develop and finally ends up being rather more aligned than if I’m fascinated by, okay, what do I want and the way can I get what I want from the enterprise.
[00:11:48] As a result of once more, meaning the enterprise can actually solely look a sure method and goes to not really get every thing it wants the identical method if it was a toddler. And I’m fascinated by, okay, how can I get what I want from this relationship with my youngster? And I’m not pondering in any respect about what the kid wants, then I’m not going to be really caring for them.
[00:12:07] And I wish to be caring for my enterprise, particularly when it’s If it’s a new child, a new child enterprise, you could have an toddler enterprise, a toddler enterprise. I’d say I’m nonetheless finally within the early phases of enterprise. And so I wish to be caring for the enterprise and giving it what it wants, even when I don’t really feel like doing that within the second, as a result of finally Massive image what I worth and what I’m aligned with is caring for my enterprise and being there for my enterprise and primarily like being the mother of my enterprise being the mama bear and giving the enterprise what it wants even when that’s uncomfortable and I do know for myself as a mother there are such a lot of instances the place giving My youngster, what they want has been uncomfortable for me emotionally talking up for them, making strangers really feel uncomfortable by standing up for my kids or saying issues that really feel awkward to say, however should be stated.
[00:13:05] However I’ve to be keen, To ha love to do these issues, to be aligned finally with the values that I’ve of being there for my kids and standing up for them and talking out, although I by no means really feel like doing it within the second, although that’s one thing I’m nonetheless studying and creating. So with regards to how I’m fascinated by the enterprise and what I would like you to be fascinated by with your small business, whether or not you might be at.
[00:13:28] The early phases of your small business, whether or not you could have been in enterprise for fairly a number of years, wherever you’re at, I don’t suppose it’s ever too early to be fascinated by this and asking your self this query, what does my enterprise want on this season? What does my enterprise want on this season? And what does my enterprise not want on this season?
[00:13:52] As a result of what occurs in addition to teaching one other PGSDer on this, and we had been really engaged on this, we’ve been doing our momentum tasks inside PGSD. And once we had been doing that, one factor that we checked out was was this query, what does your small business want? And one of many PGSDers was saying she had this lengthy listing of like all these shoulds and all these concepts and desires that she has.
[00:14:14] And what I introduced her again to was, okay, however what does it want on this season? Figuring out that when you’re making an attempt to do every thing, You’ll really get nothing accomplished. Like you must prioritize it. And the instance I gave, so for, um, with having kids, as a result of it’s such a very good instance of this, as a result of they’ve wants that you simply don’t really feel like assembly, however finally it’s aligned together with your values to fulfill them, that I used to be like, okay, if in case you have a six month outdated youngster and also you wish to have a college bag for them, however they’re not going to highschool, they don’t want that till they’re 5 years outdated.
[00:14:49] In order that isn’t one thing they want on this season. Regardless that that is likely to be one thing that’s like, Oh, however I’d like to go and select a college bag for them. It’s like, however what really do they want? They want meals. They want shelter. They want some playtime. Like they want different issues, not the college bag.
[00:15:07] And so sooner or later, Okay, we’ll get them a college bag when that’s really one thing they want on this season. However as a substitute of making an attempt to get forward of ourselves and supply simply as a distraction as a result of we’re like, Oh, properly, I’d love to do that factor sooner or later. As a result of once we get to consider the longer term, we don’t really need to be doing something.
[00:15:23] After which for, we don’t have to truly be failing at something and seeing that we’re not good at issues. So we love fascinated by that as perfectionists. And what we’re going to convey it again to is, okay, what does my enterprise want on this season? On this season that I’m in proper now, after which what do I personally want on this season?
[00:15:43] And the way can I get that? Do I want to rent a life coach? Are there some feelings that I have to course of which have been seeping into the enterprise? some issues that I haven’t handled or simply experiences that I simply have to cry about as soon as, however I really simply have to let myself cry. So like, what else do I want?
[00:16:01] Do I want extra friendship? Do I want extra time with different folks? Like, what do I personally want and what can I do to raised meet my private wants in my private time in order that I don’t need to overwork to get all of my wants met. I’ve methods to really feel profitable. that aren’t simply my enterprise. So for instance, for me, we have now a bit veggie backyard that we planted.
[00:16:26] It was a birthday current for me earlier within the 12 months. And I form of ended up planting a number of issues that we don’t even eat they usually hadn’t been grown. I simply form of uncared for. I used to be like, I actually love having a veggie backyard. I wish to discover ways to do this. I don’t know loads about it. And so it’s actually identical to we made a small one in order that I used to be like, I don’t need a huge veggie backyard.
[00:16:47] After which to attempt to need to be taught issues at this huge scale, I’d relatively have a small veggie backyard, discover ways to do this, after which have an even bigger one. So anyway, having, and it’s so humorous, just like the issues that may make you’re feeling profitable, however like having this veggie backyard and a approach to really feel profitable that isn’t associated to the enterprise and in addition isn’t simply associated to my children and my husband, prefer it’s not depending on one other individual, however with regards to this veggie backyard, um, I planted lots of trigger lettuce trigger we eat that loads and I planted some seeds they usually sprouted And there’s simply this tiny little These tiny little leaves which have come up and that has been so satisfying and I really feel so profitable Regardless that it was very fundamental, however I really feel so profitable in that and simply having these different methods In my private life to really feel profitable Take a number of the strain off my enterprise As a result of it doesn’t have to fulfill the private want that I’ve You To really feel profitable.
[00:17:48] I’m additionally getting that elsewhere. So there’s extra room for failure within the enterprise. There’s extra room for errors, which makes me freer to truly present up and go all in and provides it my greatest. If we put all of the strain on the enterprise and that’s the one method we will probably really feel profitable, then when you’re a perfectionist, you’re going to discover it method tougher to point out up.
[00:18:08] You’ll procrastinate extra, you’ll overthink extra, you’ll burn your self out since you’ll be making an attempt to get it proper so that you could achieve success, not desirous to make errors, not desirous to fail. However as a substitute, if in case you have these different methods in your life that you’re assembly your private wants, like the necessity to really feel profitable, for instance, The necessity to really feel related to others.
[00:18:28] So as a substitute of getting to continuously be on social media and scrolling to attempt to meet your connection wants, you may really name a buddy or you are able to do, even when it’s identical to listening to a podcast versus scrolling and listening to a podcast that isn’t only a enterprise podcast is so highly effective. Like once I realized nearly all of my podcasts that I listened to a enterprise podcast or private improvement associated.
[00:18:53] And for me, I’m within the area of non-public improvement. In order that’s nonetheless enterprise associated for me to be listening to one thing that’s about my private life, nevertheless it’s private improvement associated. So all my self teaching was across the enterprise. And it simply meant that as a result of the private life facet of my life has been underdeveloped.
[00:19:13] Not that I don’t have a private life that I like. I positively do, however I simply haven’t been giving it the identical consideration Emotionally that I’ve been giving the enterprise and so now I’m form of proper sizing that And it’s made such a distinction in how I can present up for the enterprise within the vitality that I’ve for the enterprise as a result of I really really feel as properly like if I’ve one thing occurring in my private life or within the enterprise and I have to course of it.
[00:19:40] I’ve the time and area to do this. I can simply do this with my journal, identical to writing about it and letting myself cry about it and doing that once I’m alone, if that’s what feels most snug. Like I even have time and area to do this so I don’t need to have every thing go completely within the enterprise as a result of once I felt like I didn’t even have the time.
[00:19:57] to actually be with any emotions or course of them, then every thing needs to be accomplished proper within the enterprise in order that I don’t have any dangerous emotions to course of. However once I even have created time and area in my private life and being extra open in my relationships and with my associates, for instance, and identical to asking for assist extra, sharing extra of my struggles, and truly speaking about it in a related, susceptible method, That has then once more, taking strain off the enterprise to need to be assembly my wants with regards to the emotional facet and like assembly my have to not need to have any feelings to course of.
[00:20:35] I really now can have that area in my private life. So I’m simply sharing a listing to hopefully have you ever replicate on whether or not that is one thing occurring for you, whether or not you are attempting to. Notably, I believe like wants for self expression wants for schooling and studying wants for Even like having intimacy, um, not essentially by way of bodily intimacy, however like feeling Linked once more with others simply feeling related with your self If your small business is the one time that you simply really feel related with your self This is likely to be one thing that is occurring for you If you happen to’re the form of individual you’re like, properly, I simply love working and I like working too You However the extra I’ve discovered different methods to attach with myself relatively than simply via working, I’ve then been capable of create a more healthy relationship with my enterprise.
[00:21:25] And I’ve seen the advantages of that in my enterprise by way of income, by way of really with the ability to mentally change off rather more simply. And so I actually can’t see any draw back to getting your wants met in your private life. After which pondering what does my enterprise want proper now on this season?
[00:21:46] And that’s a query you’ll have to frequently ask your self. So whether or not that’s quarterly in pgsd We do a quarterly assessment collectively whether or not that’s in your quarterly assessment that you’re asking your self that query For the subsequent quarter. What does my enterprise want proper now on this season? What does my enterprise not want proper every now and then there is likely to be some emotional work it’s essential do.
[00:22:06] There is likely to be some perfectionism it’s essential overcome to have the ability to fulfill that. Relatively than us saying, okay, right here’s what I want personally. Right here’s what looks like aligned for me, for instance. And I have to have a enterprise mannequin that matches that. After which the enterprise is getting uncared for. And then you definately aren’t caring for your child.
[00:22:28] And if you’re the form of individual that wishes to maintain others, particularly Interested by your small business in that method as one thing to be cared for and it has wants you have to to fulfill If you would like it to be wholesome that you simply gained’t really feel like assembly however you’re nonetheless going to fulfill them I’ve simply discovered that so highly effective.
[00:22:43] So for me When I’ve requested myself that query Of what does the enterprise want within the second? I’m simply really getting I had on my whiteboard After which I simply rubbed it off to jot down down some podcast episode concepts So once I checked out for me what the enterprise wants on this season. The primary factor that got here up for me was by way of the funds, understanding my numbers and actually simply having a transparent monetary plan, actually by way of having a purpose for my money reserves.
[00:23:15] Um understanding the numbers by way of as properly like precisely um, not identical to how a lot money has been collected However actually with the ability to venture that out Um going via the bills which i’ve accomplished fairly a little bit of that lately and I reduce out so many issues That weren’t getting used or didn’t should be used and that was wonderful However there’s nonetheless a number of extra that I have to undergo identical to issues like that That do I really feel like doing that?
[00:23:38] Not likely. And does my mind simply wish to be like, Oh, however we should be creating content material and simply specializing in the issues it’s extra conversant in. However really huge image, my enterprise wants sure issues within the finance division. Sure issues to be occurring, sure numbers, consciousness. And I’m at a degree the place that isn’t like, okay, it’s, that’s a pleasant to have, that could be a want.
[00:24:03] And in order that has been one of many largest issues that got here up for me. The opposite factor was lead era. So really having new folks come into my world, into my viewers. And I spotted that lots of the Content material that I create simply will get seen by the identical folks repeatedly, which is wonderful. Don’t get me mistaken.
[00:24:24] That’s wonderful. If you happen to’re a very long time listener, I like that. But in addition once I’ve checked out it is a realization that I had final 12 months after which I’ve mixed it with one other realization to make it much more highly effective as a result of final 12 months I used to be like, Hey, I have to have extra leads, extra folks in my world. And that’s, that’s form of like the answer and that was true, but additionally I didn’t have actually an consciousness over what had folks go from being in my world to changing into a consumer and dealing with me inside PGSD.
[00:24:55] Like I had, a leaky bucket, so to talk. So I may have extra folks come into it, however I didn’t actually perceive what was occurring in the best way that I do now. And so now it’s nonetheless having extra folks come into my world. Um, however as a substitute of specializing in, I simply should be creating content material and simply noticing how lately, as a substitute of batch creating issues collectively, which is once I do greatest and in addition offers me time and area to work on different issues, particularly as I work a 3 day work week, that it fits some folks to create content material, like one podcast episode per week.
[00:25:27] My favourite is all the time sitting down recording 5 after which not having to document any for a number of weeks after which simply recording them once I really feel prefer it and recording an enormous batch collectively. So by way of the time spent in advertising, as a substitute of simply fascinated by content material creation, Truly shifting to fascinated by lead era and having new folks come into my world, which clearly in some unspecified time in the future I used to be fascinated by that loads, as a result of I do have lots of people in my world, however I hadn’t been fascinated by it as a lot.
[00:25:57] And I had shifted to simply fascinated by creating content material relatively than having new folks are available in. In order that’s one other factor as properly that I’ve been with regards to like what the enterprise wants However sure, I can get higher and higher at launching. I can get higher at Creating content material I can get higher at gross sales and all these issues are expertise that I’m engaged on But in addition and that is form of how I used to be fascinated by it Think about there’s an enormous stadium of individuals.
[00:26:25] So on my e mail listing, I’ve about 10, 000 folks and there are, there’s a stadium, 10, 000 folks within the seats. After which over time, after all, as a result of each e mail I ship will get unsubscribes, that’s the way it works. So over time, increasingly individuals are leaving the stadium, however new folks aren’t coming in. A number of are trickling in, however folks aren’t getting changed.
[00:26:45] And ultimately over time, I’m simply speaking to a smaller and a smaller and a smaller viewers. And so what I’ve checked out is like, Oh, really just like the message I’m sharing crucial. May it’s improved in some methods? I’m positive. But in addition I simply have to get out in entrance of extra folks. And it form of simply, I believe I haven’t been fascinated by it as a result of In the case of the place I’m most snug within the enterprise, once more, coming again to my private wants versus the enterprise wants, particularly throughout a time.
[00:27:18] So I had the twins in the beginning of final 12 months. And on the time they had been born, I had a 19 month outdated daughter, Lydia. So I used to be in a private time the place I used to be feeling like I used to be so uncomfortable in my private life that I had the private want for consolation anyplace else that I may get it. And so it meant by way of the enterprise that I didn’t like my want to do something brave, placing myself on the market.
[00:27:43] Like I used to be nonetheless exhibiting up. I felt like I labored so exhausting, particularly in direction of the tip of final 12 months. in my mind primarily, identical to making an attempt to get issues the place I wished them to be. However I wasn’t desirous to be taught new issues essentially, as a result of I used to be so uncomfortable in my private life simply going via the transition of being a mother of 1 to a mother of three.
[00:28:05] And so I had, The enterprise making an attempt to fulfill my private want of consolation and due to this fact doing issues that I’m conversant in and simply actually not fascinated by what the enterprise wants.
