And yet . . . I wince writing that last part -- because I'LL NEVER GO BACK to working for someone else! The freedom gained from being self employed far outweighs a few gray days. If I had given up and gone back to corporate life, I would have missed so many valuable opportunities, not to mention hitting the ceiling in my income and working so hard for someone else's vision. Every business owner has low days. It's absolutely normal and even necessary. What goes up must come down, if just to touch ground. The key to weathering through the low points is to reframe the way you think of them. - Know that the low feeling is temporary. - Check in to see if you just need rest or a shift of focus for the day. - Be nice to yourself. It really doesn't help to beat your self up about it. - See what you can learn from it. - Slow down. Open to what this time can tell you. Just recently, I was stuck writing web content for my new business Prosperous Coach™ (coming early 2007). As soon as I decided to stop pushing the river, I felt better. I took a much needed day off. When I sat down the next day, my fingers flew on the keyboard. The ease of the day off sparked my inspiration. Things aren't always what they look like. A "low point" is often a grand opportunity. And if you see it that way, it will be. - If a client doesn't show up for their session . . . Don't take it personally. See how you can get the most out of that hour. - If your prospect doesn't hire you after a sample session . . . Trust that the time was worthwhile in a different way: you have more coaching experience and another person knows the gift of coaching. You can never know the path of another person. Years later they may hire you. - If you get some tough feedback . . . Take it like a professional. Know that what others say can be mined for gold. And sometimes, it just doesn't apply to you. Take a deep breath, run the feedback through your integrity. Always thank the individual who gave it to you. As we all know, the hard times we struggled with yesterday are usually a dim memory the next day. Take a break, then get back in the saddle with your business. And you'll love your work even more.
