I’ve been asking myself this lately-

✨ when feeding my son and worrying about business and getting behind, “What is the happiest I could feel in this moment?” And go back to only being present with him.

✨ having all the stress to make my income goals for the month while playing with my daughter “What does money really buy?” And go back to being in full toddler imagination time with her

✨ when I’m feeling panicked at night that I haven’t completed my list of to-do’s and ask, “What is the most relaxed I can feel in this moment?” And suddenly let go and start sawing logs 😴

The problem with growing our business is that we oftentimes get in our own head, and make our goals difficult to achieve because we aren’t fully present. We are always looking for something else to fill a void, especially as parents.

The truth I am finding is that my business supports me in living the life I once dreamed of living, and the business has a purpose!

It doesn’t need to be as grandiose or trendy as anyone else’s business, it’s mine made for my life.

Do you often get misaligned with your goals and what you could be focused on because of always think it should be a different way? I’d love to support you!

What is a CEO Day? 

With less than 100 days left of the year, how do you know if you are on track to have one of the best or off track on experiencing the most defeating years of your business ownership? 

Wait- how do you know at all what success should look like by now? 

As a business consultant and marketing strategist for over 5 years and entrepreneur for the past 13 years, I can tell you that managing and directing yourself is one of the most challenging aspects of being self-employed. 

Whether you know that your efforts are converting to impact or falling flat to deliver, there must be a part of your journey that allows you to take a pause, reflect, realign, and refocus on what truly budges the needle. 

A CEO Day is the dedicated time to clear distractions to work ON your business, not in your business. 

Thinking like a CEO, you are making executive decisions on operations, sales, marketing, team, but most importantly: your vision and problem solving to get your business back on-track! 

CEO Days is a free monthly “work on your business” workshop that brings entrepreneurs from around the world together for 2 hours to focus on growing and improving. 

The folks who sign up for this program understand how difficult it is to create MORE time out of their busy late nights, early mornings, maybe even weekends, spent on their business to take a step back, and this workshop helps them to create the space they wouldn’t otherwise make for themselves. 

Signing up ensures this is sacred time locked in on their calendar to prioritize asking the important questions: 

1. What did I do this month that made the most impact?

2. What was holding me back? 

3. Where is my headspace and what is on my plate?

4. How can I push myself to learn something new or get a new perspective on my business?

And from there, we don’t just reflect, we DO: 

1. Getting work DONE for a few extra minutes on something I don’t usually get to work on while serving clients or running the operations

2. Creating a 30-Day plan for the month ahead so I am always focused on what matters most. 

3. And most important- connecting with other individuals who have come before me with the challenges I face or people I want to continue to talk with who brought up something powerful at this meeting! 

It’s rare to find an opportunity that has you feeling accomplished, focused, clarity, connected, and ready for MORE. This is why hundreds of business owners who are leading a mission-driven life and business make it a MUST to attend CEO Days each and every month! 

The mission of CEO Days

is to empower 100,000 entrepreneurs by 2030 to become sustainable business owners who achieve consistent year-over-year increases in profit, purpose, passion, and planning!

How did I come up with this?
CEO Days aims to challenge the statistic that nearly 50% of small businesses don’t last past 5 years in business. Having the time to improve and ease into the next month ahead ensures the success of the business with bite-sized wins, resources, encouragement, and direction. 

We hope you attend this communal workshop that is taking over the world of small business enterprises with empowerment at CEO Days!

Without a doubt, your 2023 Q3 + Q4: GOALS, OPPORTUNITIES, LEADS, AND SUCCESSES - I'm reminding you that these ARE YOURS TO EXPERIENCE!

I'm screaming this in all-caps because if you are signed up for CEO Days, you will be able to not only dream-up what is going to be possible for you to be the most profitable for you and your business for the second half of the year, but you will actually make space for it. 

If you can't make it, I want you to take this week to really be intentional about dreaming, drooling about, and doing the work to manifest what it is that you really want out of the rest of this year, as we quickly approach June 1st (happening THURSDAY, friends!). 

If you are stuck on this concept, revisit your goal's list, your power word or phrase for 2023, or simply do a small mediation around expansion. What comes up for you?

What can you do in just 10 minutes or less to maximize your productivity and profitability this week?!

Getting the motivation or focus to initiate your “flow” can take a warm-up activity or two. But, once you are going on your way, you will access the higher version of your work, your focus, and produce even more per minute, so you can do more in less time! 

Follow these tips just before you get started, as you begin your work day: 

1. Simply review what your focus areas are: look at your numbers, your vision for the year, your power word or phrase or your power partners. Looking at those things that help motivate you and fuel your energy will help you get back on track and it just takes 10 minutes to look at everything that you need to make the most impact you can this week 

2. My favorite is the brain dump. Just spend 10 minutes jotting down everything that's on your mind, both for your business and your personal, And then go through and circle the priorities that you have on that list. How do you know which are “priorities”?! 

   
   Start by asking yourself what is the most game changing thing I could do to get me closer to my goal this week. And that breakdown is a great exercise to just lay out everything and clear your brain for all distractions before you start work.
   

3. The least amount of fun, but most rewarding is to just eat the frog, an expression that means getting things done! JUST go for it. Take your most daunting, difficult time consuming tasks that you have that you know is going to pay you dividends in the long run and just start get it done and spend 10 minutes getting into the zone by starting the task and that momentum will keep you moving forward to bring it to the end and finish it.

I hope you enjoy these three tips and how to spend 10 minutes or less on getting even more close to your profitability zone and your focus for this week ahead. Have a great week.
