Dealing with setbacks and difficult situations

We all respond differently to the challenges and setbacks in our lives and businesses. 

Over the years, and especially during the past 10 months, I’ve learned the importance of being resourceful, creative, patient and resilient.

Here are few things which have helped me …

~ Although not everything is in our control, in our day to day lives we can take action, try out new ideas and different ways of living and working. The way we do business is changing and this can offer opportunities as well.

~ Set achievable targets/goals and grow your confidence. At the moment I’ve been planning day by day and week by week. It feels realistic and achievable and gives me more clarity and focus.

~ Include some form of movement and exercise to recharge. Whenever possible I exercise for 20 – 30 minutes in the morning, (even when I don’t want to!), as I know I’ll feel more energised and mentally uplifted. It’s good for stress relief as well. Simple movements like shaking and tapping can help blood flow and brain function.

~ Accept the days when you feel low and demotivated. At times like this we need to extend more kindness and self-compassion towards ourselves, as we would to family or friends. I prefer to recognise my emotions rather than pushing them away and trying to be positive all the time.

~ Any challenges we face in our businesses can be a signal to experiment or change direction completely. Although I’ve not been able to host my in-person meetings, I’ve connected and supported more people through my virtual events and explored additional revenue streams

If you need help taking inspired action in your business, in addition to my coaching programmes, I offer 90-minute Business Strategy Sessions.

As a result of our time together, you’ll leave excited about the possibilities in your business, with a plan to take your ideas forward.
