Don’t Grumble - Grow
Is there anything in your business or life that you have been grumbling about and been putting up with? Take a moment and reflect on your business and life… It may be a customer, client, staff member, the turnover of the business; the debt you have, the house you live in, the state of your health, your relationship, a stagnation in learning… the list could keep going.
If you add up the time you take to grumble about the ‘thing’ the time you give to thinking about the ‘thing’ and also the energy you use to avoid the ‘thing’, you would be spending at LEAST an hour a week, if not more. That is negative brain power, a distraction and also a huge WASTE of time and energy.
I recently reflected on my business and realised that I have been grumbling about the fact that I have been spending so much time in my business and have no personal life. Now, I LOVE what I do in the business, however, creating a LIFE that I love is equally as important to me, and it wasn’t until I realised how much mental chatter was going on inside me and how much I resented the fact that I was working 70+ hours a week on the business that I decided to stop grumbling and GROW.
The results from this decision is that I have hired a full time personal assistant, yes, I’ve given up being a total control freak, I’ve also limited my working hours to 50 hours a week, joined Sing Australia – a national Choir, I now have a place in Melbourne so I can be in the city for the weekend, catch up with friends, go to shows, the art gallery and I’m organising mini-breaks and trips. Already, I am feeling better, happier and the business (staff and clients) are benefiting from this.
So, I offer you the challenge – GIVE UP YOUR GRUMBLE AND GROW. What can you give up right now and free yourself the mental and emotional torture. Email me your commitment to give up the grumble – life’s too short to continue with it.
