Like we’ve been talking about for the past few weeks, this is our opportunity to intentionally build a new normal that isn’t so difficult. I’ve had some amazing guests come on the show to talk about this, and I’m excited to share another with you this week! I met Michelle Wood at the very first CEO Retreat I ever hosted in January 2018. She is the founder of Live Colorfully and Well where she helps high achieving women bring more joy, happiness, and color into their lives as they courageously take a stand for living an intentional and fulfilled life.

Before COVID-19 really hit, I was constantly hearing from my clients how overwhelmed they were. Especially for my clients who are working parents, they often felt like they were juggling so much, they were constantly hustling, and they were wondering if there was a better way to do things. All this to say, burnout is NOT new. But, many entrepreneurs are seeing that their world being flipped upside down is actually giving them a great opportunity to create a life and business that will lead to sustainable success without the crazy grind.

Can I give you a reality check, CEO? Life is NOT going back to “normal.” Maybe you’ve been hoping and praying that things would feel normal again soon. Or maybe you KNOW that things will always be different, but you’re grieving the loss of how things were six months ago. And while I’m all about feeling all of the feelings, it is important to realize that you have a massive opportunity here because of all of this change. You have the opportunity to intentionally design your next normal.

I’ve been in business as an entrepreneur for 12 years. And anyone who has had their job for that long knows that everyday is not going to be absolutely perfect. But I know I’m not the only one who has felt like their world has been flipped upside down over the past four months. Most days, I have tried just to GET THROUGH the day. I found myself questioning if I was really making an impact, or if my hard work really meant anything, or if life really had to be this way ...

Why are so many women entrepreneurs only reaching $30K-$50K revenue in their business? When women entrepreneurs are generating $50K or less in revenue, they honestly don’t have enough revenue coming into their business to create the business and the life that they are truly dreaming of.  They don’t have the revenue that would allow them to hire some support so they’re not working 24/7, hustling for each and every client.  They don’t have the resources to help them consistently show up and market their business.  When they’re not making enough revenue, they are stretched way too thin! But when they finally break through to that ‘Next Level’, amazing things start to happen! This week on Promote Yourself to CEO, I’m kicking off the Unsexy Secrets to Sustainable Success series with a full episode about why we need to get out of information mode in order to break through in our businesses. You’ll learn: The two types of entrepreneurs that are getting stuck at low levels of success and the specific steps each need
