How to Maintain Your Work-Life Balance

How to Maintain Your Work-Life Balance The concept of work-life balance has become increasingly popular in recent years, and according to medical research, the idea should be taken more seriously than a passing fad. For better or worse, becoming a successful business owner often requires juggling the  business operations and your personal matters daily. Benefits of Maintaining a Healthy Work-Life Balance Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is essential to relieving stress. Scientific research continues to show that stress is more than just an anxious feeling. It can have numerous harmful effects on your health and lead to a weakened immune system. Working long hours  has shown to put people at a higher risk  of stroke, heart disease, mental disorders, anxiety, and depression according to studies cited by Medical News Today. Some reports even indicate that business owners and executives who often work more than 50 hours per week were less healthy than average by almost all measures. Clearly, more of us could benefit from a better balance between work and life. For business owners, however, it may seem impossible to separate the two. The most successful business owners are those who effectively manage that balance every day and are more productive, happy, and healthy because of it. How to Become   Successful Through Work-Life Balance Owning a business doesn’t have to mean single-handedly running the show. Especially when the company incurs business expansion and managing all aspects of daily operations becomes unreasonable. That’s why the most successful business owners learn how to delegate early on and set manageable goals each day. Assign Duties and Tweak Processes If you have a staff, put them to good use. Make sure everyone in your organization not only has a job to do but knows how to effectively get it done. This may require some initial work on your end to draw up detailed assignments. Segmenting duties amongst your employees frees up valuable time of your own. Which allows you to focus on  more strategic efforts. Meeting priorities will help you and your team feel a sense of accomplishment and control. This can help to diminish stress. Delegate and Outsource Outsourcing or hiring more staff to complete a portion of your business workload can also help you maximize your time. This may require supplementary working capital  to help you manage cash flow as your onboard new team member and need to stay on top of payroll. Take a look at projects that could be outsourced to save time, including: Accounting and bookkeeping Marketing and social media Communicating with clients Administrative tasks Outsourcing these and other jobs to a service provider can streamline the process,  cut costs, and lead to higher-quality work. New technology platforms that increase productivity offer many options for outsourced accounting, marketing, expense management, and more. Make Smarter Hires Full-time hires are typically more expensive than most contractors. But they could end up saving your business more time and money in the long run. Consider using  short-term financing  to cover the initial costs of hiring and training. And soon enough, you’ll see the benefits of your investment in that new employee. This will leave more time for you to focus on attaining a higher level of achievement and enjoyment, both on and off the job. Don’t Forget About Home Many of these same concepts also apply to your life at home. In the simplest terms, time is money. Look at the time you spend on household chores and compare that to what you earn hourly. If the time you spend “costs” you more than what it would if you paid, for example, a professional house cleaner or landscaper to handle those tasks, look at your budget and see if you can outsource those efforts. Less time spent on these chores means more time spent with family and friends, relieving stress, and taking care of your mental health. Maintaining a work-life balance is about separating your personal and professional lives so you can be your best self in both settings.

Start Your Dream Business - Own Boss - Classy Career Girl

Start Your Dream Business - Own Boss Hi, it’s Anna and welcome to VIDEO 2 in new video blog training series, The  Corporate Rescue Plan.  I am excited to share with you my 5-step system to help you ditch your day job and transition into a profitable, freedom-based online business living your ideal lifestyle in 90 days or less. The 5-step system is coming next week but first, theres some required things you must know in order to make your dream full-time business happen so you can work for yourself. That is what we are going to cover here today. Make sure you watch the first video where I shared the 9 mistakes that new entrepreneurs who want to start their own business make over and over again. You don’t want to miss the video because you do not want to be making any of those mistakes. Watch the video #2 below to get started: Click here to download the Corporate Rescue Plan Freedom Planner  workbook. So if you are feeling stuck, I have been in your shoes. I remember what it was like when I was stuck in a job I hated. I wasn’t happy and fulfilled in my career and it was keeping me up at night.   I was so stuck and I would apply to jobs over and over again online with no luck. I blamed the economy and was frustrated that I wasn’t doing all that I was capable of. I just didn’t fit in my job.  I was doing well and getting promoted but something was just off.   It just didn’t fit me. The problem was I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. For years, I was stuck in a job I hated.   I would literally come home crying to my husband and some weekends I just couldn’t relax because all I could think of was work. I dreaded Monday and didn’t want to face what was on my plate the next day. It was impacting my relationships because my work life was off. I couldn’t attend happy hours or social events because I had to work or I was crying about work.  I was just barely holding on. The only thing keeping me holding on was that I had picked up a side project that helped me realize what I was passionate about. I was able to teach a “How To Navigate Your Career Class” as an Adjunct Instructor at my company that I LOVED. I helped people review their personality assessments and figure out how to navigate within the company into roles that they loved so they could be happy at work.   It was on my own time and I didn’t get paid for it. I had to put a lot of extra hours in but it didn’t matter. It was work that fit me. And then I realized, I wasn’t in a full-time role that fit my interests, personality and motivations.   It was such a lightbulb because I finally was learning more about myself. I was learning the things I liked and didn’t like and was starting to get that clear direction of where I needed to go next. I realized that finance was a skill I was good at but I didn’t enjoy it. It wasn’t my favorite skill. But I loved teaching, training and coaching and realized that I wanted to do that for my career. I realized then that I wanted to bein charge of my own destiny and have my dream business. But I had no idea how to make that happen. So another year went by and I was still be in the same position. I got comfortable. Nice salary.  Promotions.   But something was just off.   I was in limbo.   I was just making it through the days.   Living for the weekends. Letting life pass me by.   Just saying whatever I guess this is just how my career will go. I didn’t get the wonderful opportunities that I knew I could do. I will just settle with what I have now. A job is just a job and it pays the bills. I just have to keep doing it because I don’t have another choice. I just didn’t care. It’s so sad to think of this time in my life because I just let go.   But there was this whole other side door opening that I wasn’t aware of.   There was this door of happiness by working on my blog. The door to work I loved and complete personal fulfillment.   Living a life of purpose and making a difference. A career that totally fit me in this door over here.   But, I didn’t know that then just like you don’t know what is through that door for you right now.  There was a step or a major leap that I needed to take.  But,  I almost didn’t take that step until I had a major life tragedy. There was one day when my entire life changed.   And you could say that it was either the worst day of my life or best day of my life.   I don’t know if you are at rock bottom yet and I surely hope that you are not because I would never wish for this rock bottom on anyone. But, after years of putting up with a job I hated, I hit rock bottom. I was in a hospital emergency room with my husband in Seattle at midnight. It was after a wedding that my husband was the best man in.   We went straight from his best man speech to the hospital to find out I was miscarrying my first baby.   Now ever since I initially found out I was pregnant I was just emotional, stressed and hating life because of my job. And when this doctor told me that I was miscarrying, I was in shock but instead of mourning my baby at that moment. All I could think of was my job.   The first thing out of my mouth to my husband and the scared doctor was “I hate my job. I need to quit.” Yes, irrational considering what was going on in my life. I was so terribly stuck that the first thing I thought of in a major tragedy was my job! Ever since that moment I have had this fire in me. I have had a purpose. And I beg of you not to let as much time go by stuck in a job that isn’t the right fit for you as I did.   Please, if you are feeling discontent in your current role, it is time. You don’t need to hit rock bottom and have a major life tragedy like mine to give yourself a jolt to make a change. This is the jolt.  I am here to tell you that I know you can feel it if I am talking to you, your time is now.   That is why you are here reading this blog post. That is why I am doing what I do with my life and in my business now. What happened next is we paid off $80,000 of debt in 18 months.  Without debt controlling your life, you can make life and career decisions that really make you happy like starting a new business.  I un-trapped myself and other options came flooding in. So now I am over the moon to share with you a case study of one of my previous clients. This is part of my “I Love My Career”  series which aims to celebrate women (and my clients) who are stepping up and making HUGE leaps in their careers and businesses. I love sharing the real and raw truth of what it takes to achieve success. One of the reasons I love my job is that I get to help other women make an impact in the lives of others INTERNATIONALLY. Today I get to share the story of the results that Carolina Martins, from Chile, had after we worked together. We had multiple Skype calls together to make sure that she achieved her business goals. I love how my clients are knocking it out of the park and not letting fear hold them back! Carolina was in a similar position as you when we started. She had a day job but really wanted to start a business to have freedom and flexibility and make an impact in the world. Watch the video above or read this case study to get inspired!   I hope you are inspired by Carolina’s case study and I really want to touch on the fear aspect that Carolina brought up. Notice these words that Carolina said, I am very excited with my results but at the same time always still facing that fear. You don’t lose the fear, you confront it. I love that because no matter where you are at in business and what level you are at, you will always have some sort of fear, but as long as you face it, confront it head on. It’s just a part of reaching your next true success and realizing everything that you can be and the impact that you can truly make in this world. So because this is a training blog post  of course, I also want to teach you two new things. Remember to download the worksheet below so you can take notes on these items I am about to teach you. This is a question I get asked about a bunch and really the answer is something that holds so many people back. If you want to work for yourself, how do you determine when you should make your exit from your day job? Once you have this answer, you can take action and really make things happen. So I know we are all about making new years resolutions and most people have a tendency to say this year I am going to start my business. I like to think of it a little different and chunk what you need to make happen in 90 days. and this is why all of my courses are 90 days because it’s short enough to see the light at the end of the tunnel and to get excited about and it’s long enough to actually make things happen! After coaching new business owners, this is historically when I see people making huge jumps and leaps so when I create Corporate Rescue Plans with my clients, we always chunk it down to 90 days. So if you want big results in 90 days, download my free 90 day freedom planner and then lets get started. 1) Write down three big goals that you want to achieve in the next 90 days. 2) Now, set your goals for the next 90 days with milestones in between at 30 days, 60 days and 90 days. Using the plan, complete the milestones. If you need ideas of the types of goals my previous clients have set for their 90-DAY FREEDOM PLANS, here are some ideas: -submit resignation letter for my day job by (insert date here) -create an online product and make (insert what you want to make here) by (insert date here) -Launch my online course by (insert date here) -Get one new client by (insert date here) -Get my website up by (insert date here) -Get 100 Facebook fans by (insert date here) -Send out a survey and identify my ideal client by (insert date here) -Book 2 speaking events by (insert date here) -Send out an email newsletter by (insert date here) How much money  do I need to have saved? Here’s what I have to say! If you want to work for yourself, cash flow it baby! You don’t need a crazy amount of money. Trust me. How myself and many of my clients in The Corporate Rescue Plan have gotten off the ground is by selling a product and then making and improving and testing while you go. It doesn’t have to be perfect and it forces you to take action and make things happen and improve it for your clients as you go. Now I am all about getting out of debt. Please do this if you can. And I am all about setting a budget and making it streamlined and systematized. I work with each of my clients on their profit plan and their expenses and budget so they know where they are headed and what they need to make in the 90 days for it to happen. A lot can happen in 90 days my friends. A lot of revenue can happen even in just 30 days. So I can’t give you an exact number to have saved because I don’t know where you live. Obviously, it will be a lot different in New York City than it will be in Iowa. But what I want you to know is that you don’t need a huge investment or capital. There are ways to cash flow it and to start with zero dollars and get your business off the ground fast so don’t let the money excuse stop you. And I know what you are thinking, “Oh great, the hard money questions. Can I pretty please skip this part?” No you absolutely cannot! But, don’t worry. We are going to make this fun! I am going to help you make your dream business a reality. It’s so important that you also understand this KEY COMPONENT to money and working for yourself.  What you track increases. The more you track what is coming in and going out, the more it will increase. Trust me! The months that I track daily what comes in have been my highest earning months. The months that I forget to track because I am busy end up being my lowest months. Why because I am motivated and I want to reach my goals when I am tracking so it drives me to hitting them over and over again! So here are the top 5 questions you need to ask yourself to determine how much you need to make and have saved before you ditch your day job: 1) How much do you currently take home per month in your day job? 2) What are your current expenses per month? 3) Are there any expenses that are not necessary that you can stop now? 4) What is the amount of money you absolutely need to make in your new business to quit your day job? 5) How much money do you currently have saved? I think you will find just writing down your answers to this will help ease some stress. Sometimes we get really overwhelmed for hours not looking at the money stuff that when we look at it for 15 minutes, it just makes us feel so much better. So spend a couple of minutes going through those questions today. I also wanted to crush another objection that people often have when starting a business. And I hear this ALL THE TIME! I have too many ideas! I am so overwhelmed. I don’ t even know where to start! So lots of ideas is good but not if you are trying to start a business alone. I also suffer from bright shiny object syndrome and always want to start something new. In the past I started a lot of things very quickly without making a few products and programs AWESOME. It wasn’t until I talked this over with my own coach and now my team that I finally got clarity and could focus on one idea instead of a ten. SO pick one thing and stick to it. Its also important to  start saying no to opportunities too because as you will learn as a new entrepreneur, you will be asked to participate in a million things. You must learn to say no to focus on what is really important. Your purpose and profit. SO here’s what you need to do: 1) I want you to write all of your business ideas down. 2) Out of all of your ideas, which ideas do you feel are the most important right now? 3) Out of all of the ideas, which ideas would make you the most money the fastest? As you can see, I teach a simple way to take all those ideas in your head and narrow them down to what you  need to start now in order to work for yourself. Just this week I was on a call with one of the members in The Corporate Rescue Plan and I helped her narrow down her ideas. She had one idea â€" a product business and her second idea was a consulting business. She wanted to do the product business because she was passionate about it. But I helped her focus on the money and her purpose. Selling products is not a business if you are only selling $20 t-shirts and have to get it off the ground! I want you to make this transition in 90 days so we focus on profit at the very beginning of my Corporate Rescue Plan. Your passion is GREAT but I want you to be passionate about it and more importantly PURPOSEFUL about it, so that you are completing your purpose and making a profit. And I just shared with you two steps in my 5 step system that I will be sharing with you more on my third video blog post NEXT WEEK! Thank you again for joining me in this second video blog post. I am so excited to help you control your destiny and make your business dreams a reality. No longer will your voice and ideas not be heard at your day job. You truly have the opportunity to change your life and spend more time being happy. You can reach your career dreams, I believe in you! In next weeks blog post, I will tell you more about my 5-step FREEDOM system to help you ditch your day job and transition into profitable, freedom-based online business living your ideal lifestyle in 90 days or less. In the next video, I am going to dive deep and share more than I have ever shared before and give you the complete system that I give to my private clients who pay me thousands of dollars to work with them. So until then, share your comments below this post, what did you learn from the video today? Share with us what your 90-day goal is and what milestones and actions you are going to take to reach that goal. Can’t wait to see you in the comments!

5 Strategies to Break Out of a Career Plateau

5 Strategies to Break Out of a Career Plateau Do you feel like you're on a plateau in your career? Maybe you’re in a situation where: You’re not moving up anymore Your boss doesn't seem to be going anywhere so you’re stuck where you are Your company is downsizing and there's not a lot of growth or opportunity Or your own skill set is no longer what the company needs Whatever the reason, I understand how frustrating it can feel. Although I had 10 promotions in my 24-year career, there were times in between promotions when I felt like my career was on a plateau. When you let this feeling linger for too long it can easily destroy your confidence. It’s easy to let it hurt your mood and lead to less than great performance. So, you want to nip it in the bud as quickly as you can. 3 Truths About Being on a Career Plateau To get in the right frame of mind to move beyond a career plateau, it helps to acknowledge these three truths. 1. If you feel like you’re on a plateau, you're not alone. Everybody's career has ups and downs (and definitely sideways movements too!). 2. It’s important to accept the reality. Understand and see your situation with clear eyes. The actor, Michael J Fox, summed this point up beautifully in a recent New York Times interview. He talked about the health challenges he’s faced and said: “Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. It means understanding and dealing straightforwardly.” â€" Michael J. Fox Accept your situation first, so you can deal with it in a straightforward manner. 3. Make sure you're looking at your situation in the cold, hard light of day. Own the parts of it that belong to you. Learn from those parts and let everything else go. Don’t take any of it personally. Knowing these truths about being on a career plateau, it’s time to take action with the following strategies. 5 Strategies for Getting Unstuck from a Career Plateau I’ve found that in situations where you feel stuck, it’s always more energizing when you take action. So here are five strategies for dealing with a career plateau that you can apply today. And these strategies are not mutually exclusive. You can do more than one at a time. 1. Reframe the situation Find a way to look at the situation that's much more energizing for you. Maybe it's as simple as saying to yourself, “this is my situation for now”. Those two words â€" “for now” â€" can be hugely significant. Your situation is not permanent because you’re about to address it by taking some different actions now (which we’ll get to shortly). This reframing of the situation can immediately lift your spirits. You can also reframe your situation and become a great mentor for others. Just imagine, if you feel this way about your career, then the people around you or more junior to you might very well be experiencing this same feeling, maybe even more so. So, use this as an energizing opportunity. However you may be feeling, you still want to show up as your best self because you never know who else is out there watching. It could be someone who has a future opportunity for you. Always show up as your best self. You never know if someone is watching who could have a future opportunity for you. 2. Envision what you want for yourself Envision your goals and aspirations for yourself in 3-5 years’ time so that you can start to pave the way to reach them. Also, envision what could be on the horizon for the business you’re part of. Thinking about that almost always helps you come up with new ideas for how to improve things, especially in a way that grows the pie for everyone. When you grow the pie, you might be just developing a new opportunity that you could go and run as a project. Who knows? 3. Invest in learning new things A career plateau is an ideal time to invest in your learning. You probably “have your job in a box”, which means you can do it in your sleep. Maybe you’re even a little bored at work. The good news is, this means that you've got time to invest in learning new things, like taking a course or getting a degree. You have time to invest in having new experiences, like traveling or going to different kinds of meetings and conferences. You also have time to invest in relationships and build up your network, which will be key later, to get to where you envision yourself in 3-5 years’ time. 4. Expand your role You can expand internally. For example, by taking the goals you have now and creating more challenging ones by doubling them â€" or even thinking about how to multiply them by 10 (“10X” them)! You could take on some extracurricular roles like running a network or setting up a foundation for your company. You could volunteer yourself for a project outside of your unit that will help you build your network and learn new things at the same time. You can also expand externally, while still doing your day-to-day job. You could volunteer for a cause that you believe in. You could lean into an existing hobby like running a triathlon or painting. You could also look to join some boards and take on some non-executive positions. Or you could be starting a side gig that creates some additional revenue streams in addition to your day job. 5. Move to another environment Finally, you can always move to a new environment. That could be internally to a different unit or externally to a new organization. It could be a lateral (sideways) move or upward into something that emerges, even if you don’t see right now. To give yourself the option of moving, the first four strategies are very important. Take Back Control of Your Career There are always things you can be doing to continue to refresh yourself, including broadening your set of relationships and taking better care of yourself. Consider ways to keep yourself at the forefront of new developments, such as attending industry events or connecting with thought leaders in your business. And stay positive because you are the one who manages your career. It's really up to you. So it's time to take ownership of your career. Shake off any negative feelings or lack of confidence by acting your way into that next possibility. You are the one who manages your career. The next move is up to you. Which one of these strategies would really move the needle for you if you employ it right now? And what's one action you can take toward implementing that strategy right now? Leave a comment and let me know. I’d love to hear from you.
