Doing something when you feel like doing nothing

We’re all bound to have days where we don’t feel like doing much of anything. It’s called life. The real test, however, is how you deal with this as a small business owner.

On those days when you don’t feel like doing much of anything, you have two choices:

1. Take a step back and rest.
As a self-employed Entrepreneur Goddess, nobody is forcing you to show your face in the office, wherever that might be. You create your own agenda. But, if you decide to make time for yourself or nothing on a Wednesday afternoon, be sure you consult with your agenda first. This option is only viable if you have no outstanding tasks to perform or customers to entice. Use caution and lots of discipline with this choice. It’s not necessarily a negative decision and can have actually have a very positive effect on your business growth. Just don’t make it a regular habit.

2. Persevere by creating a space.
Sometimes you really feel like doing nothing but your schedule tells you otherwise. That Wednesday afternoon of R&R is not going to happen, no matter how hard you wish upon your shooting star screen saver. This, my fellow female entrepreneurs, is the true test of entrepreneurship. It’s called perseverance. You feel tired, groggy, or simply out of your usual self and don’t feel like doing a thing…yet you plug along. You do this by separating yourself from the inside voice that cries I don’t want to be doing this now and you create a space which allows you to glide through the moment.

Wishing you success,
