Before I started coaching Entrepreneurs, I didn't understand it. I saw my brother experience this, and I thought he was flat out nuts, UNTIL IT HAPPENED TO ME! lol
Imagine the rude awakening I had coming out of a rigid schedule I had designed for myself as a nurse and Figure Competitor:
- My work at that point was rather textbook and cookie cutter in nature.
- I meal prepped and ate at specific intervals.
- I had a solid sleep/wake schedule.
Never in a million years did I anticipate what it was like to be ABSOLUTELY CONSUMED BY THIS CREATIVE OPPORTUNISTIC WEIRDNESS THAT ACCOMPANIES ENTREPRENEURIAL ENDEAVORS. I was starting to feel like crap pretty early on in the game. I was forgetting to eat, I wasn't really able to sleep, and then I felt like I was hungover the next day-too tired to even THINK about working out. Oh yeah, and that whole marketing and prospecting thing to GET business? I was a mess.
Ironically enough, one of the reasons I opened MY business was to assist those peeps who live SERIOUSLY HIGH STRESS LIFESTYLES become healthy. Yet, I was the epitome of ANTI-HEALTH!
As a Coach I had to take an honest look at myself and ask a really hard question, "What kind of an example am I setting?"
I firmly believe that you can never lead people until you first lead yourself. So what did I do? I ate a huge slice of humble pie and put myself on the coaching program I designed for everyone else, and whaddaya know? I now have a profitable business AND my health.
Guess What? You Can Too!
