The Time to Stand in Your Power is NOW!

June 19, 2012 by Debra Kasowski 6 Comments

Even though I can feel the momentum, I sometimes feel like I am standing still. Feeling that there is so much more to be done – that is when I remind myself that to breathe. Working with a coach and studying “The Success Principles” has reminded me to celebrate every win that comes my way. I am spreading my wings and upleveling my business playing field and it so exciting but there is always a time in which a new foundation must be laid.

I know some of you may be saying to yourself, “I wish I was upleveling my game.” Let me caution you before you leap too fast. You will want to and need to create systems in place so that you can enjoy the upleveling of the game. Sustainability and growth also need a bit of forecasting but your mindset is where the big shift occurs the most. You can uplevel your game too. Where do you think you should be playing bigger? What resources do you need to do so? Do you need to hire a  full-time or part-time assistant? 

Recently, I knew I had to hire a new team member and that little voice in me said, “You know you need to do this, this is the next step.” The other little voice said, “Oh come on Deb, keep doing what you are doing. Do you really need to do it?” What did this all mean? Silence. Then, the voice inside said, “It is time.” I know it is time – I can feel it.

You, too, need to listen to your intuition. Whenever, you have an idea or suggestion come to you – listen for the another voice to follow and pay attention to how your body feels. Do you feel resistance or a sense of peace like you have already made a decision? The little voice of reason was making me do some due diligence and think about the results I want to achieve in my business. Take time to listen to what your intuition is telling you.

If you feel a sudden hesitation like someone has quickly pressed pause for a moment – this could be your first signal of trouble. Think about how your body reacts- do you perspire? Does your heart race? Do you get a stomach ache when things do not feel right? Start asking yourself and pay attention to your body. What exactly does not feel right at this moment and why?

Asking questions is the most powerful way to get clear on what it is you need to do. There is no better time that NOW to create  the business you want. Intentional action will result in success. Stand up for what you believe in. Let your voice be heard ! Make a decision based on what it is you are trying to achieve. You may even surprise yourself along the way! 

Show up, give your best, and stand in your power – NOW! It is your TIME!

Where’s the Oxygen Mask? 3 Big Mistakes You Could Be Making in Your Business Right Now

June 12, 2012 by Debra Kasowski Leave a Comment

Travelling to different parts of the world is one of my favorite things to do. In order to spread my wings I must travel on wings. Yes – an airplane! Before every departure the cabin crew demonstrates or shows you the video of what to do in case of emergency. The message is consistent and a great reminder every time I watch it- put the oxygen mask on yourself FIRST!

Why? If you cannot look after yourself (and this goes for your business and your life) you cannot serve others to the best of your ability. I know you might be saying, “But Debra I am here to serve others and to give!” And you are! If you continuously drove your car without refueling, what would happen? That’s right – you would run out of gas! The same can happen to you. You want to build a business that is sustainable and that you can grow and tap into the potential that has yet to come out!

Here are 3 of the biggest mistakes I have seen or have done myself:

Filling your schedule too full. You need to create a balance and not say yes to everything that comes your way. Ask yourself a few questions:

Does this activity contribute to my ROI (return on investment)? 

Can this be done by phone? I know that in person meetings can mean better connection however some meetings are best done by phone so you can streamline your time. 

Is this a priority and important to you?

Set boundaries. You do not have to say “YES!” to everything. Don’t worry if you say no. More opportunities are just around the corner. Be clear on what you want your time to look like. Try tracking your time for the next 3 days. Where are you spending your time? What needs to be eliminated?

NO “Me” Time You may be busy looking after your family or your parents or even help manage extracurricular activities for your kids outside of your business. There is some much time in a day and your week. You need time to recharge in order to give your best. Take a night off, get a pedicure, go for dinner with your spouse. Break up the routine. You will be refreshed and bring more to your business.

Doing it all yourself. You are a hot commodity but without you everything STOPS! Learn to outsource and let go of some of the things on your plate that take up your revenue generating time. Hire a housekeeper or someone to run errands for you. Find a virtual assistant or hire a freelancer from www.guru.com or www.eLance.com

To give your best to your customers, your family and friends, you must be rested, relaxed, and present. Create the life you want by managing your time so you are more productive and profitable because you are better able to serve. Now, where’s my oxygen mask! Enjoy your flight!
