Imagine riding a rollercoaster blindfolded.
That’s the challenging solopreneur life, a real-life test of resilience that we all experience.
Here’s why my rollercoaster matters to you…
My year kicked off with two weeks ill in bed and no work, followed by a two-week battle with back pain that made sitting difficult.
Then, my much-loved dog Duke’s diagnosis of a liver tumour this week was a bolt out of the blue.
That was a gut-punch moment.
These challenges have taught me the value of self-care, the importance of pacing and helped me practice emotional agility.
Despite this, I feel emotionally resilient. I’ve practised directing my thoughts and managing my reactions.
They say to take control – not of what happens but your responses.
By practising directing my thoughts and reactions, I’ve honed my ability to remain focused and resilient.
It’s not about stifling feelings; it’s still showing up in those raw moments and giving my all when needed.
In my Heroic Coach training, I learned that Obstacles Make Me Stronger.
That’s now my mantra when life becomes a rollercoaster.
Then I do a bit of targeted thinking and accept the current situation, identify what I want and then ask what I can do now… and do it.
Sure, it’s tough. But embracing the challenge on my hardest days has strengthened my commitment.
This isn’t just about surviving; it’s about thriving in adversity, just like in business.
Resilience is an indispensable skill in business.
