What if…
you gave yourself permission to pause?
The uncomfortable truth…
Most people think that working longer hours is the only way to grow their business.
I did.
Early starts and very late finishes.
A long-distance run most days.
On the outside, the business looked shiny.
But on the inside, I was running on empty.
My abundant determination and will to achieve,
often unintentionally was my problem in disguise.
Many of those I work with share about these times being frantic.
Non-stop demands and their boundaries are being challenged.
So I often sit alongside people as they learn, heal, and grow in this area.
What if you gave yourself permission to pause in the midst of all this?
And with autumn peaking through.
It made me think that we have seasons when we flourish,
and seasons when the leaves fall from us,
given rest, we grow again.
It’s not just about changing what you do whilst you are at work,
It’s so often about changing what you do when you’re not working.
If you do that consistently, your business will grow.
Rest is as important, if not more important, than the work itself.

Exploring the gap between what you know and what’s next.
A question worth thinking about..
