19 Ways to Show Your Business Some Love
How much do you appreciate your business, and the life it makes possible for you?
How often do you express your love for what you and your business do together, send your business love letters, declare your love from the rooftops?
What about doing it today?
Being in business all these years myself, I know how easy it can be to not directly express your delight for what you have, and the consequences of not doing so. It’s one thing to know and remind yourself about how much you love your work and how fun it is to be in business for yourself; it’s another to have a regular practice of appreciation.
When you appreciate what you have, you give your business the nourishment it needs to blossom and keep growing. More love in, more love out, more love to go around.
How do you let your appreciation show?
And if you’re not loving your business as much right now, what can you do to freshen things up, and foster more goodness?
Here are some ideas to deepen your love and appreciation, no matter where you find yourself on the love-o-meter.
- Finish one item that’s been bothering you so you can regain your focus
- Make a list of five things that being in business for yourself has made possible
- Daydream new ways to take good care of your clients
- Take the afternoon off and play
- Remember why you went into business to begin with
- Watch an inspirational movie about someone who brought their dream to life
- Set up a workflow system that helps you and your business feel taken care of
- Hire someone to help you with something you’ve been putting off or don’t know how to do
- Rearrange your desk for a new view
- List three things you’re looking forward to doing in your business
- Attend a seminar to spark your intellect
- Buy the organizing system you’ve had your eye on
- Read a book to learn more about your craft
- Have a leisurely lunch with a colleague and talk business
- Start a practice of listing what went amazing that day
- Go for a walk to exercise your body and free your mind
- Make time for what matters to you most
- Sit and doing nothing – just be – and see what comes up
- Spend a few hours filling your business well, whatever it needs the most today
Take the time to figure out what caring looks and feels like, and act on it. It will give you the fuel to keep going.
It’s like keeping your gas tank full, so you’ll always have the time, energy, and resources to do what you want and need to do.
My hunch is you already know what it’s like to run out of gas, to not have the bandwidth or energy to keep going, and know that’s not the way you want to work.
Today, show your business some love and appreciation by pulling a few items from the list above and doing them. Make being openly loving toward your business a regular thing, and watch how much you, and your business, flourish.
