Have you ever looked at a successful business and thought, They’re just lucky?

It’s easy to assume that some people are simply in the right place at the right time, benefiting from luck while others struggle to gain traction. But the truth is, luck in business isn’t random—it’s created.

Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how intentional actions can increase the likelihood of success. The “lucky breaks” that seem to come out of nowhere are often the result of consistent effort, strategic positioning, and smart decision-making.

So, how can you cultivate your own luck in business? The answer lies in taking deliberate actions that put you in the right place, at the right time, with the right people. Here’s how you can do it.

1. Build Relationships Before You Need Them

One of the biggest misconceptions about success is that it’s all about what you know. In reality, who you know can be just as important. The best clients, collaborations, and partnerships don’t come from cold outreach—they come from relationships nurtured over time.

If you only start networking when you need something, you’re already too late. The key to creating your own luck is to build relationships before you need them.

How to do it:

Make networking a habit, not just a one-time event. Attend industry events, join business groups, and actively engage on LinkedIn and other platforms.
Focus on giving before asking. Offer value, insights, or introductions to others without immediately expecting something in return.
Stay engaged with your network. Regularly check in with people, share useful content, and find ways to support them in their business endeavors.

When the right opportunity arises, you won’t have to go searching for it—it will already be in motion through the connections you’ve built.

2. Stay Visible in the Right Places

You can’t attract opportunities if people don’t know you exist. Many “lucky” business owners are simply the ones who show up consistently.

Being in the right place at the right time isn’t about chance—it’s about strategic visibility. The more you position yourself where key decision-makers and potential clients are, the greater your chances of being noticed and approached.

How to do it:

Be active where your ideal clients are. Whether it’s social media, industry conferences, networking groups, or webinars, ensure you’re engaging in spaces where opportunities happen.
Share valuable content that positions you as an expert. When people associate you with insights, problem-solving, and leadership, they’re more likely to turn to you when they need help.
Make it easy for people to reach out to you. Have a clear and compelling online presence that showcases your expertise and provides an easy way for people to contact you.

3. Take Action Quickly

Opportunities favor those who are prepared to act. Many business owners miss out simply because they hesitate too long. Luck often comes to those who are ready and willing to take fast, decisive action.

Have you ever heard of someone passing on a big opportunity because they weren’t “ready” yet? Meanwhile, someone else steps up, figures it out on the fly, and reaps the rewards.

How to do it:

Get comfortable making fast, informed decisions. Don’t let perfectionism hold you back from seizing an opportunity.
Have systems in place. Make sure your business is structured to take advantage of new opportunities without scrambling.
Trust yourself. Some of the best decisions come from stepping out of your comfort zone and saying “yes” before you have all the answers.

4. Create Value Before Expecting Results

Businesses that consistently provide value build trust, and trust leads to long-term success. The more you focus on serving, the more “luck” will come your way.

Many business owners struggle with this concept because they want immediate returns. However, the most successful brands are the ones that focus on giving before receiving.

How to do it:

Offer insights, solutions, and resources without expecting anything in return. People remember those who help them.
Position yourself as a problem-solver, not just a seller. If you show up as someone who genuinely wants to help, sales and opportunities will naturally follow.
Build a reputation for being helpful and reliable. When people trust you, they refer you, collaborate with you, and choose you over competitors.

5. Pay Attention to What’s Working

Successful business owners don’t just work hard—they work smart. The more you track and refine your strategies, the more predictable your success becomes.

Luck isn’t just about seizing opportunities—it’s also about knowing which ones to pursue and which ones to ignore. That requires an understanding of what’s working and what isn’t.

How to do it:

Identify what’s bringing in the best results. Are your leads coming from LinkedIn? Word-of-mouth? Ads? Double down on what’s working.
Be willing to pivot. If something isn’t delivering results, change direction instead of hoping it will magically improve.
Make decisions based on data, not just intuition. While gut feelings have their place, tracking key metrics ensures you make informed choices.

6. Stay Open to Unexpected Opportunities

Sometimes, the best opportunities don’t look the way we expect. Some of the biggest breakthroughs happen when you say “yes” to something that wasn’t part of your original plan.

One of the most common traits of “lucky” business owners is their openness to new possibilities. They recognize that the best opportunities often come in unexpected packages.

How to do it:

Don’t dismiss opportunities too quickly. Just because something doesn’t fit your original vision doesn’t mean it’s not valuable.
Be flexible and adaptable. Business success isn’t linear. The ability to pivot and adjust will put you ahead of those who are rigid in their plans.
Look for hidden potential. Sometimes, a small opportunity can lead to something bigger if you’re willing to explore it.

Luck is a Byproduct of Intentional Action

When you focus on these strategies, business growth becomes less about chance and more about certainty.

What looks like luck from the outside is often the result of consistent effort, strategic positioning, and an openness to opportunities.

So, the next time you see a business owner who seems to “always get lucky,” take a closer look. Chances are, they’re doing the work behind the scenes to make their own luck happen.

The Hustle Trap

As entrepreneurs, we’ve all heard the mantras: “If you stop for lunch, you are lunch.” “Hustle 24/7.” “Grind non-stop.” These beliefs are deeply ingrained in American business culture, convincing us that working harder and longer is the only path to success.

I believed it too. For years, I pushed through 16-hour workdays, skipped meals, and endured sleepless nights in pursuit of business growth. Like many entrepreneurs, I wore my exhaustion as a badge of honor.

What I didn’t realize was that this approach was actually sabotaging my success.

The High Cost of Constant Pushing

When we operate in a perpetual state of hustle, we pay a steep price:

• Diminished quality: Burnout kills productivity and increases errors
• Creative drought: Exhaustion robs us of our most innovative thinking
• Health consequences: Physical and mental well-being deteriorate
• Relationship strain: Work consumes time that should be invested in meaningful connections
• Lost joy: The passion that sparked our entrepreneurial journey gets smothered

Perhaps most ironically, the constant grind actually makes us less successful. When we’re burned out, we make poorer decisions, miss opportunities, and deliver subpar work.

The Flow State Alternative

The alternative to hustle culture isn’t laziness—it’s strategic alignment with your natural state of flow.

Flow state, often described as being “in the zone,” is that magical condition where you’re fully immersed in what you’re doing. Time seems to fly by, and your best ideas and work emerge almost effortlessly.

In my book, “The Apple Stand: How to Rekindle the Love for Your Business,” I explore this concept in depth. When you’re operating in flow, you’re tapping into your zone of genius—leveraging your natural strengths and talents in a way that makes work feel more like play.

Finding Your Flow: Practical Strategies

1. Identify Your Zone of Genius

Start by getting crystal clear on your unique strengths and the activities that energize rather than drain you. Ask yourself:

• What tasks do I lose track of time doing?
• What work comes naturally to me that others find challenging?
• When do I feel most energized and creative?

For me, the revelation came when I noticed how much I loved coaching and teaching but dreaded sales calls. This awareness allowed me to make a game-changing decision: hire a dedicated salesperson who thrives on the very activity that pulled me out of flow.

2. Restructure Your Calendar Around Energy Patterns

We all have natural energy cycles throughout the day. Instead of fighting these patterns, design your work schedule to harness them:

• I’m a morning person, so I reserve my mornings for deep work and client interactions
• No calls after 4pm when my mental sharpness naturally declines
• Later hours are dedicated to lower-cognitive activities like physical tasks or relationship-building

This simple calendar restructuring dramatically improved both my productivity and happiness.

3. Work in Sprints, Not Marathons

The human brain isn’t designed for hours of uninterrupted focus. Instead:

• Work in focused 60-90 minute blocks
• Take short, intentional breaks between sessions
• Use micro-transitions (even 30-60 seconds) to reset between meetings

Even on my busiest days with back-to-back appointments, I ensure at least 3-4 minutes between calls. I’ll stand up, do a few quick exercises with the weights I keep in my office, and perform a brief meditation to recenter before the next engagement.

4. Integrate Strategic Self-Care

Self-care isn’t just about bubble baths and massages—it’s a business strategy. When we fill ourselves up outside of work, we bring more creativity, patience, and insight to our businesses.

I discovered that when facing business problems, stepping away from my desk to visit my horses often led to breakthrough solutions. The change of environment and engagement in an activity I love created the mental space for solutions to emerge naturally.

This realization flipped my perspective: I wasn’t taking time away from work; I was strategically creating conditions for better work.

The Productivity Paradox

Here’s the counterintuitive truth many successful entrepreneurs discover: working less often leads to accomplishing more.

Research consistently shows that happiness precedes success, not the other way around. When we’re in a positive state—rested, fulfilled, and engaged in work that leverages our strengths—we perform better across every metric that matters.

Practical Implementation: Avoiding Overwhelm

To maintain flow state, we must guard against overwhelm—which often stems from overscheduling. Two practical approaches:

1. The ABCD Priority System:
   • A: Tasks that move the needle forward today
   • B: Important but not needle-moving tasks
   • C: Tasks that can wait
   • D: Tasks to delegate
2. Time Blocking: Map out how long each task will realistically take. If you run out of hours in the day, you’re overscheduled—period.

While I personally prefer a hybrid approach with some flexibility in my day, the principle remains: realistic scheduling is essential for maintaining flow.

Your Path to Sustainable Success

Hustling yourself into burnout isn’t the path to business bliss or sustainable success. By tapping into your natural flow state and structuring your work accordingly, you can achieve substantially more while experiencing less stress and more joy.

Start by identifying one task in your business that consistently feels like a struggle. Could you delegate it to someone who would thrive doing it? Could you pair it with an activity you enjoy to make it more palatable? Or could you restructure when you tackle it to align with your natural energy patterns?

Remember: you’re in this for the long haul. Building a business is challenging enough without making it harder through unsustainable work practices. By honoring your natural flow state, you can create success that’s not just impressive but also deeply satisfying.

As entrepreneurs and business owners, we pour our heart and soul into our work. But over time, stress, burnout, and the daily grind can chip away at the passion that once fueled us. What if the secret to revitalizing our businesses wasn’t found in hustle culture, rigid control, or fear-based leadership—but in something as simple yet profound as love?

Welcome to day six of the Business Bliss Challenge, where we explore the leadership superpower that can transform not just your business, but the world around you: Leading with Love.

The Problem with Fear-Based Leadership

Too often, leadership is associated with authority, control, and even fear. Many leaders operate from a place of scarcity—micromanaging, criticizing, and prioritizing profits over people. While this approach may generate short-term gains, it often leads to disengaged employees, high turnover rates, and a toxic work culture.

Early in my own entrepreneurial journey, I mistakenly believed that success meant being tough, authoritative, and in control at all times. I thought leadership was about proving my power rather than fostering collaboration. But instead of creating a high-performing team, I ended up feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the very people I was trying to lead.

It took time—and plenty of mistakes—to realize that the best leaders don’t lead with fear. They lead with love.

What It Means to Lead with Love

Leading with love doesn’t mean being a pushover. It doesn’t mean avoiding difficult conversations or making decisions based purely on emotion. Instead, it means embracing empathy, compassion, and a heart-centered approach to leadership.

Here’s what leading with love looks like in practice:

• Prioritizing people over processes – Instead of seeing employees as just cogs in the machine, love-centered leaders recognize them as whole individuals with dreams, struggles, and aspirations.
• Encouraging collaboration – Love fosters an environment where people feel valued and motivated to contribute their best ideas.
• Holding space for mistakes and growth – A love-based culture acknowledges that failure is part of the process. Instead of punishing mistakes, great leaders use them as learning opportunities.
• Celebrating wins—big and small – Love in leadership means creating a culture of appreciation and encouragement.

One of my favorite things we do in my business is our “Wins” channel in Slack. Whenever someone achieves something—no matter how big or small—we celebrate it together. It fosters a culture of support, positivity, and gratitude. This kind of leadership turns a workplace into a family—not necessarily the one we were born into, but the one we choose to build.

How to Infuse More Love Into Your Leadership

If you’re ready to transform your leadership style, here are some actionable ways to start leading with love today:

1. Start with Self-Love and Self-Care

The foundation of leading with love begins with how you treat yourself. As the saying goes, “You can’t pour from an empty cup.” If you’re burned out, exhausted, and running on empty, it’s impossible to show up as a compassionate and supportive leader.

Take time to care for yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally. This might mean:

• Getting enough sleep and exercise
• Practicing mindfulness or meditation
• Setting healthy work boundaries
• Engaging in activities that bring you joy

By prioritizing your own well-being, you’ll be in a better position to support and uplift others.

2. Practice Active Listening and Open Communication

How often do we rush through conversations without truly listening? Leading with love requires slowing down and making a genuine effort to hear what our employees, clients, and team members are saying.

Simple ways to practice active listening:

• Make eye contact and give your full attention.
• Ask open-ended questions to encourage discussion.
• Validate their concerns and ideas.
• Follow up on conversations to show you care.

When people feel heard and valued, they are far more engaged and motivated to contribute.

3. Lead with Vulnerability and Authenticity

We often think of leaders as people who must always have the answers, always be strong, and never show weakness. But in reality, the most impactful leaders are those who embrace vulnerability and authenticity.

Sharing your struggles, lessons, and even failures with your team creates a culture of trust and openness. It shows that it’s okay to be human. As leadership expert Brené Brown says, “Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our most accurate measure of courage.”

However, leading with vulnerability doesn’t mean oversharing or lacking boundaries. It means being real, honest, and transparent in a way that fosters connection and trust.

4. Make Decisions Rooted in Your Core Values

Before making key business decisions, take a moment to ask yourself:

• Am I making this decision from a place of love and service, or from fear and ego?
• Does this choice align with my core values?
• Will this decision create a positive impact for my team and clients?

By using love as a guiding principle, you ensure that your leadership is both ethical and impactful.

5. Recognize and Appreciate Your Team

One of the easiest yet most powerful ways to lead with love is by expressing genuine appreciation. A simple “thank you,” “I appreciate you,” or “You’re amazing at what you do” can go a long way in uplifting someone’s day.

A fascinating thing happens when you tell people they’re great—they start showing up as their best selves more often. By focusing on what your team is doing right instead of constantly criticizing what they’re doing wrong, you create an environment that nurtures success and confidence.

6. Take Care of Your Physical and Emotional Well-Being

Stress and burnout can cloud your ability to lead with love. Nutrition plays a key role in managing stress levels, and something as simple as incorporating healing foods can make a big difference.

Take the mango, for example. This vibrant fruit is packed with phytochemicals and amino acids that help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and even improve sleep. Plus, mangoes teach us something valuable about leadership—they thrive in extreme heat, yet they remain sweet and nourishing. Just like a mango withstands the sun’s intensity, we, too, can develop resilience while maintaining kindness and love in our leadership.

So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, grab a mango and remind yourself that you have the power to stay calm and collected—even in high-pressure situations.

The Ripple Effect of Love-Based Leadership

When you lead with love, you create a ripple effect that extends far beyond your business. Your team becomes more engaged, your clients feel the difference, and ultimately, you contribute to a more compassionate world.

Small business owners hold incredible power. Collectively, we outnumber big corporations, and the way we lead has a direct impact on communities, families, and industries. By choosing love over fear, we create businesses that don’t just generate profits but also leave a lasting positive legacy.

So, here’s my challenge to you today: Take one action to infuse more love into your leadership. Whether it’s sending a message of appreciation, practicing self-care, or making a heart-centered decision—start today.

Your business, your team, and the world will thank you for it.

If this message resonates with you, share it with a fellow business owner who could benefit from a little more love in their leadership.

Running a business is an exhilarating experience, but it can also bring stress and overwhelm. As entrepreneurs, we often wear multiple hats and juggle many tasks, which can quickly become overwhelming. The pressure to handle everything perfectly can lead to burnout, affecting both our personal and professional lives.

In this article, I want to share valuable insights from my own experience and a recent challenge that helped me simplify my business and shift my money mindset. Through these lessons, you’ll learn how simplifying your business operations and changing your mindset around money can help you reduce stress, increase productivity, and ultimately reach your full potential as a business owner.

Part 1: Simplifying Your Business to Reduce Stress

As business owners, we can sometimes complicate things without realizing it. Over time, our businesses grow, and so do the layers of complexity. For example, I remember when a coach once pointed out that my business was more complex than it should be for its size. I had too many offerings, an oversized team, and systems that weren’t as efficient as they could be.

This feedback was eye-opening, and I realized that I was overcomplicating things in ways that weren’t adding value. So, I decided to take action.

How I Simplified My Business

Here’s how I tackled the complexity:

1. Streamlined the Team – I reassessed the team structure and identified roles that were either redundant or unnecessary. By cutting down on unnecessary roles, I improved communication and increased efficiency.
2. Eliminated an Underperforming Coaching Package – Not every product or service we offer will meet the needs of our clients. One of my coaching packages wasn’t bringing in enough revenue or delivering the impact I had hoped for. So, I made the difficult decision to cut it from the business.
3. Increased Prices on Popular Offerings – I looked at the products and services that my clients loved the most and provided the most value. I raised the prices slightly to reflect the true value and demand, which not only boosted my revenue but also helped position my offerings at a higher level.

The Results I Achieved

By simplifying my business, I was able to:

• Reduce stress: I no longer felt overwhelmed by too many offerings and a team that required constant management.
• Improve efficiency: With a leaner, more effective team and more focused offerings, we were able to serve clients more effectively.
• Increase profitability: By focusing on my most popular offerings and increasing their prices, I saw an immediate impact on the bottom line.

Part 2: Shifting Your Money Mindset

As I continued to work on simplifying my business, I realized that a major factor contributing to stress was my mindset around money. For many entrepreneurs, financial stress is a significant burden. The constant worry about undercharging, cash flow issues, and even self-worth when it comes to money can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being.

I was no exception. In fact, there was a time when I operated from a scarcity mindset, constantly fearing that there wouldn’t be enough money to go around. This mindset clouded my judgment and stifled creativity. It also led to burnout because I was making decisions based on fear rather than confidence.

That all changed when I shifted to an abundance mindset.

How I Shifted My Money Mindset

Here are the key strategies I used to change my relationship with money:

1. Identifying and Reframing Limiting Beliefs – I identified the limiting beliefs I had about money (such as “money doesn’t grow on trees” or “I’m not worthy of financial success”) and reframed them into positive, empowering beliefs. Instead of thinking “I can’t afford this,” I began asking, “How can I afford this?”
2. Recognizing How Language and Thoughts Shape Financial Reality – I began paying attention to my language. Negative phrases like “I don’t have enough” were replaced with positive affirmations like “I attract abundance and financial opportunities.”
3. Practicing Gratitude – I started focusing on the abundance that I already had rather than what I lacked. Gratitude is a powerful tool that helped me shift my energy from scarcity to abundance, and I noticed how my financial reality began to reflect this shift.
4. Focusing on Value Creation – I stopped focusing on fear and desperation. Instead, I shifted my focus to providing exceptional value to my clients. By focusing on serving others and creating value, I began to attract the right clients and opportunities.

The Results of Shifting My Money Mindset

Shifting my money mindset led to:

• Increased confidence: I was no longer afraid of pricing my services at their true value.
• Better financial decision-making: I started making decisions based on a sense of abundance and confidence rather than fear.
• Improved cash flow: With a renewed mindset, I was able to attract more clients and create better opportunities for financial growth.

Part 3: Surrounding Yourself with Abundance-Minded People

One of the key takeaways from the Business Bliss Challenge was the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people. As Jim Rohn famously said, “You are the sum of the five people you spend the most time with.” If you want to shift your money mindset and achieve financial success, you need to surround yourself with people who support and inspire you.

How I Surrounded Myself with Abundance-Minded People

Here’s what I did to make sure I was surrounding myself with abundance-minded people:

1. Engaged with Mentors and Coaches – I sought out mentors who had achieved the level of financial success I desired. Their wisdom, guidance, and experience helped me shift my mindset and improve my business operations.
2. Listened to Books and Podcasts About Abundance – I regularly consumed content that reinforced my abundance mindset. Podcasts and books from entrepreneurs who shared their success stories and mindset shifts helped me stay focused on abundance.
3. Avoided Negative Conversations – I stopped engaging in conversations that focused on financial struggle and scarcity. Instead, I surrounded myself with peers and colleagues who spoke about growth, opportunities, and success.
4. Created a Supportive Network – I intentionally built relationships with people who were positive, supportive, and growth-oriented. This network of people has been invaluable in helping me stay on track with my goals.

The Results of Surrounding Myself with Abundance-Minded People

By surrounding myself with abundance-minded people, I was able to:

• Gain new perspectives: Interacting with successful entrepreneurs helped me reframe challenges as opportunities.
• Feel supported: Having a community of like-minded individuals helped me stay motivated and positive.
• Attract new opportunities: Surrounding myself with success-minded people opened the door to new business opportunities and collaborations.

Final Takeaways: Simplify and Shift for Success

In conclusion, simplifying your business and shifting your money mindset are crucial steps toward reducing stress and achieving long-term success. By streamlining your operations, reframing your relationship with money, and surrounding yourself with abundance-minded people, you can create the foundation for a more profitable, fulfilling business.

Remember, your relationship with money is not fixed—it can be transformed one thought, one word, and one action at a time. When you align your mindset with your purpose and passion, the financial success will naturally follow.

If you’re ready to simplify your business and shift your mindset for success, let’s schedule a call. Together, we can explore ways to streamline your operations and transform your financial reality.

As business owners, we are often caught up in the whirlwind of daily operations, financial pressures, and the never-ending to-do lists. We push ourselves harder, hoping that one more task, one more strategy, or one more hour of work will lead to the breakthrough we’ve been chasing. But in the pursuit of success, we often forget something critical: loving our business.

It may sound simple or even counterintuitive, but love is a powerful force. The truth is, when you approach your business from a place of love—love for the work you do, the impact you create, and the people you serve—you will not only thrive but also experience greater satisfaction, creativity, and growth. In this article, we will explore why loving your business is the key to sustainable success and how you can reignite that love in your own entrepreneurial journey.

The Cost of Disconnection: When Love Fades

Many entrepreneurs start their businesses driven by passion and purpose. They feel excited about the difference they can make and are eager to pour their energy into their work. However, over time, the daily grind can take its toll. Deadlines, financial stress, employee management, and client demands can all overshadow the passion that once fueled the business.

As a result, we may start to feel disconnected from the very thing we created. What was once a source of joy becomes just another task to complete. We may begin to resent the long hours, the challenges, and the constant pressure. When this happens, we fall out of love with our business.

The problem with this is that when we lose our passion, we lose our creativity, energy, and enthusiasm. This not only affects our mental and emotional well-being but can also stunt the growth of the business. If we’re not fully engaged with our work, neither will our team or our clients be. This disconnect creates a cycle of burnout, frustration, and stagnation.

Why Love is the Key to Success

Loving your business isn’t about ignoring challenges or pretending that everything is perfect. It’s about choosing to reconnect with your purpose and the positive aspects of your work, even during tough times. When you approach your business with love, you operate from a place of inspiration rather than obligation.

Here’s why this mindset shift is crucial:

1. Increased Creativity and Innovation
   When you love your business, you’re more likely to think outside the box and seek creative solutions. Passion and enthusiasm breed innovation. You’ll be more willing to experiment with new ideas, improve existing processes, and embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.
2. Better Decision Making
   Operating from a place of love leads to better decision-making. When you’re aligned with your purpose and vision, your decisions come from a place of clarity and confidence. You’re not making choices out of fear or stress but with a sense of direction and alignment with your values.
3. Sustained Energy and Focus
   When you love what you do, it’s easier to maintain energy and focus, even during tough times. Passion fuels perseverance. You’ll find yourself staying motivated longer, even when faced with obstacles. This persistence is key to long-term success.
4. Improved Relationships with Clients and Employees
   When you love your business, that energy spills over into your relationships with clients and employees. People can feel your enthusiasm, and it creates an atmosphere of trust, positivity, and collaboration. Your clients will sense your commitment to delivering value, and your team will be more motivated to contribute their best work.
5. A Healthier Work-Life Balance
   Loving your business means you can approach it from a place of balance. Instead of overworking yourself and pushing through burnout, you’re more likely to take care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. This holistic approach leads to better health, improved performance, and a greater sense of fulfillment.

How to Reignite Your Love for Your Business

If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your business, don’t worry. It’s possible to rekindle the love you once had. Here are some actionable steps you can take to reignite your passion and rediscover the joy in your work.

1. Reflect on Your “Why”

Take some time to reflect on why you started your business in the first place. What was the initial spark that ignited your passion? Whether it was solving a problem, helping others, or creating something meaningful, reconnecting with your purpose will remind you why your business matters.

Ask yourself:

• What impact do I want my business to have?
• How does my business align with my personal values?
• What excites me about what I do?

2. Focus on What’s Going Well

When challenges arise, it’s easy to focus on what’s not working. However, shifting your focus to what’s going well can help you appreciate your progress. Celebrate the wins, no matter how small, and acknowledge the positive aspects of your business.

This could include:

• Positive client feedback
• Milestones achieved
• The growth of your team or community
• Your personal development as an entrepreneur

3. Take Care of Yourself

Loving your business starts with loving yourself. If you’re running on empty, it’s hard to give your business the energy and attention it deserves. Prioritize self-care by nourishing your body with whole foods, staying active, getting enough sleep, and taking time for relaxation.

When you feel your best, your business will feel the benefits too.

4. Reconnect with Your Customers and Team

Sometimes, we get so caught up in the operations of the business that we forget to connect with the people who matter most—our clients and employees. Take the time to engage with them, listen to their feedback, and appreciate their contributions. Building strong relationships will reignite your passion for what you do.

5. Practice Gratitude

Gratitude is a powerful way to shift your mindset. Start each day by listing three things you’re grateful for in your business. This practice helps you see the positives, even in challenging situations, and fosters a greater sense of connection and love for your work.

The Transformative Power of Loving Your Business

When you approach your business from a place of love, you’re not just making a mindset shift—you’re setting yourself up for long-term success. You’ll find greater creativity, clarity, and fulfillment, which will positively impact every aspect of your business. Most importantly, you’ll remember why you started this journey in the first place: because you love what you do.

If you’re struggling to reconnect with your passion for your business, take small steps to shift your mindset and nurture your relationship with your work. Start by reflecting on your “why,” focusing on the positives, and taking care of yourself. By doing so, you’ll rediscover the love for your business and experience the success you’ve been seeking.
